The Tale of Benjamin Bunny — Page 5

English → Chinese Full Text Level 1/10

He took a tremendous jump off the top of the wall on to the top of the cat, and cuffed it off the basket, and kicked it into the greenhouse, scratching off a handful of fur.

他从墙顶猛地一跃，跳到猫的背上，将它从篮子旁打开，踢进了温室，同时抓下了一把猫毛。

The cat was too much surprised to scratch back.

那只猫惊讶得来不及还手抓他。

When old Mr. Bunny had driven the cat into the greenhouse, he locked the door.

当老兔子先生把猫赶进温室后，他锁上了门。

Then he came back to the basket and took out his son Benjamin by the ears, and whipped him with the little switch.

然后他回到篮子旁，揪着儿子本杰明的耳朵将他拉出来，用小树枝抽打了他一顿。

Then he took out his nephew Peter.

然后他把侄子彼得也拉了出来。

Then he took out the handkerchief of onions, and marched out of the garden.

然后他取出那块包着洋葱的手帕，大步走出了花园。

When Mr. McGregor returned about half an hour later he observed several things which perplexed him.

大约半小时后，麦格雷戈先生回来时，发现了几件令他困惑不解的事情。

It looked as though some person had been walking all over the garden in a pair of clogs--only the footmarks were too ridiculously little!

看起来好像有人穿着一双木屐在花园里到处走过——只是那些脚印小得实在可笑！

Also he could not understand how the cat could have managed to shut herself up _inside_ the greenhouse, locking the door upon the _outside_.

他也无法理解，那只猫怎么可能把自己关在温室里面，而门锁却锁在外面。

When Peter got home his mother forgave him, because she was so glad to see that he had found his shoes and coat.

当彼得回到家时，他的母亲原谅了他，因为她非常高兴地看到他找回了自己的鞋子和外套。

Cotton-tail and Peter folded up the pocket-handkerchief, and old Mrs. Rabbit strung up the onions and hung them from the kitchen ceiling, with the bunches of herbs and the rabbit-tobacco.

棉尾巴和彼得把手帕叠好，老兔妈妈则把洋葱串起来，连同几束香草和兔烟草一起挂在厨房的天花板上。
