The Tale of Benjamin Bunny — Page 2

English → Chinese Full Text Level 1/10

Peter," said little Benjamin, in a whisper, "who has got your clothes?"

「彼得，」小本杰明低声说，「谁拿了你的衣服？」

Peter replied, "The scarecrow in Mr. McGregor's garden," and described how he had been chased about the garden, and had dropped his shoes and coat.

彼得回答说：「麦格雷戈先生花园里的稻草人，」并描述了他如何被追赶着跑遍花园，还丢掉了他的鞋子和外套。

Little Benjamin sat down beside his cousin and assured him that Mr. McGregor had gone out in a gig, and Mrs. McGregor also; and certainly for the day, because she was wearing her best bonnet.

小本杰明坐在他表哥身旁，告诉他麦格雷戈先生已经乘着马车出门了，麦格雷戈太太也是；而且肯定是出门一整天，因为她戴着她最好的帽子。

Peter said he hoped that it would rain.

彼得说他希望会下雨。

At this point old Mrs. Rabbit's voice was heard inside the rabbit hole, calling: "Cotton-tail! Cotton-tail! fetch some more camomile!"

就在这时，兔子老太太的声音从兔子洞里传出来，喊道：「棉花尾！棉花尾！再去拿些甘菊花来！」

Peter said he thought he might feel better if he went for a walk.

彼得说他觉得如果去散散步可能会好受一些。

They went away hand in hand, and got upon the flat top of the wall at the bottom of the wood.

他们手牵着手走开了，爬上了树林尽头那堵墙的平坦顶部。

From here they looked down into Mr. McGregor's garden.

从这里他们俯瞰着麦格雷戈先生的花园。

Peter's coat and shoes were plainly to be seen upon the scarecrow, topped with an old tam-o'-shanter of Mr. McGregor's.

彼得的外套和鞋子清楚地挂在稻草人身上，稻草人头顶着麦格雷戈先生的一顶旧绒线帽。

Little Benjamin said: "It spoils people's clothes to squeeze under a gate; the proper way to get in is to climb down a pear-tree."

小本杰明说：「从大门底下钻进去会弄坏衣服的；正确的进入方式是顺着一棵梨树爬下去。」

Peter fell down head first; but it was of no consequence, as the bed below was newly raked and quite soft.

彼得头朝下摔了下去；但没什么大碍，因为下面的花圃刚刚翻耙过，十分松软。

It had been sown with lettuces.

那里种着莴苣。

They left a great many odd little footmarks all over the bed, especially little Benjamin, who was wearing clogs.

他们在花圃上留下了许多奇奇怪怪的小脚印，尤其是小本杰明，因为他穿着木鞋。
