The Tale of Benjamin Bunny — Page 3
小本杰明说,首先要做的事情是找回彼得的衣服,这样他们才能使用那块手帕。
Little Benjamin said that the first thing to be done was to get back Peter's clothes, in order that they might be able to use the pocket-handkerchief.
他们把衣服从稻草人身上取了下来。夜里下过雨,鞋子里积了水,外套也有些缩水了。
They took them off the scarecrow. There had been rain during the night; there was water in the shoes, and the coat was somewhat shrunk.
本杰明试戴了那顶苏格兰便帽,但帽子对他来说太大了。
Benjamin tried on the tam-o'-shanter, but it was too big for him.
随后他提议用手帕装满洋葱,作为送给姨妈的一份小礼物。
Then he suggested that they should fill the pocket-handkerchief with onions, as a little present for his Aunt.
彼得看起来并不开心,他一直听到各种声响。
Peter did not seem to be enjoying himself; he kept hearing noises.
本杰明则恰恰相反,他在这里感觉完全自在,还吃了一片莴苣叶。
Benjamin, on the contrary, was perfectly at home, and ate a lettuce leaf.
他说他习惯跟父亲一起来这个花园,摘莴苣作为周日晚餐。
He said that he was in the habit of coming to the garden with his father to get lettuces for their Sunday dinner.
(小本杰明的父亲名叫本杰明·邦尼老先生。)
(The name of little Benjamin's papa was old Mr. Benjamin Bunny.)
那些莴苣确实长得非常好。
The lettuces certainly were very fine.
彼得什么也没吃,他说他想回家。不一会儿,他把一半的洋葱都掉落了。
Peter did not eat anything; he said he should like to go home. Presently he dropped half the onions.
小本杰明说,带着一大堆蔬菜是不可能从梨树上爬回去的。他大胆地带头朝花园的另一端走去。
Little Benjamin said that it was not possible to get back up the pear-tree with a load of vegetables. He led the way boldly towards the other end of the garden.
他们沿着阳光照耀的红砖墙下的一条木板小路走去。
They went along a little walk on planks, under a sunny, red brick wall.
老鼠们坐在各自的门口嗑樱桃核,向彼得兔和小本杰明·邦尼眨眼示意。
The mice sat on their doorsteps cracking cherry-stones; they winked at Peter Rabbit and little Benjamin Bunny.
不一会儿,彼得又把手帕松手丢了。
Presently Peter let the pocket-handkerchief go again.
