The Tale of Benjamin Bunny — Page 4

English → Chinese Full Text Level 1/10

They got amongst flower-pots, and frames, and tubs. Peter heard noises worse than ever; his eyes were as big as lolly-pops!

他们钻进了花盆、框架和木桶之间。彼得听到的声音比以往任何时候都要糟糕；他的眼睛瞪得像棒棒糖一样大！

He was a step or two in front of his cousin when he suddenly stopped.

他走在表弟前面一两步的地方，突然停了下来。

This is what those little rabbits saw round that corner!

这就是那些小兔子在拐角处看到的景象！

Little Benjamin took one look, and then, in half a minute less than no time, he hid himself and Peter and the onions underneath a large basket....

小本杰明看了一眼，然后，眨眼之间，他把自己、彼得还有洋葱都藏在了一个大篮子底下……

The cat got up and stretched herself, and came and sniffed at the basket.

猫站了起来，伸了个懒腰，走过来嗅了嗅篮子。

Perhaps she liked the smell of onions!

也许她喜欢洋葱的气味！

Anyway, she sat down upon the top of the basket.

不管怎样，她坐在了篮子顶上。

She sat there for _five hours_.

她在那里足足坐了**五个小时**。

I cannot draw you a picture of Peter and Benjamin underneath the basket, because it was quite dark, and because the smell of onions was fearful; it made Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin cry.

我没办法为你画一幅彼得和本杰明在篮子底下的图，因为里面非常黑暗，而且洋葱的气味实在太难闻了；那气味把彼得兔和小本杰明都熏哭了。

The sun got round behind the wood, and it was quite late in the afternoon; but still the cat sat upon the basket.

太阳转到了树林后面，已经是傍晚时分了；但猫仍然坐在篮子上。

At length there was a pitter-patter, pitter-patter, and some bits of mortar fell from the wall above.

终于，传来了噼里啪啦、噼里啪啦的声音，一些灰泥碎块从上方的墙上掉了下来。

The cat looked up and saw old Mr. Benjamin Bunny prancing along the top of the wall of the upper terrace.

猫抬头一看，只见老本杰明·邦尼先生正神气活现地沿着上层台地的墙顶走来。

He was smoking a pipe of rabbit-tobacco, and had a little switch in his hand.

他叼着一根兔草烟斗，手里拿着一根细树枝。

He was looking for his son.

他在寻找他的儿子。

Old Mr. Bunny had no opinion whatever of cats.

老邦尼先生对猫根本没有任何好感。
