The Tale of Mr. Jeremy Fisher — Page 3
Jeremy shoved the boat out again a little way, and dropped in the bait.
杰里米把船又往外推了一点，然后把鱼饵放了下去。
There was a bite almost directly; the float gave a tremendous bobbit!
几乎立刻就有鱼咬钩了；浮标剧烈地抖动了一下！
"A minnow! a minnow! I have him by the nose!" cried Mr. Jeremy Fisher, jerking up his rod.
「一条小鱼！一条小鱼！我钓住它的鼻子了！」杰里米·费希尔先生喊道，猛地扬起鱼竿。
But what a horrible surprise! Instead of a smooth fat minnow, Mr. Jeremy landed little Jack Sharp the stickleback, covered with spines!
但这真是个可怕的意外！钓上来的不是一条圆润肥美的小鱼，而是浑身长满刺的小刺鱼杰克·夏普！
The stickleback floundered about the boat, pricking and snapping until he was quite out of breath.
刺鱼在船里乱蹦乱跳，又刺又咬，直到精疲力竭。
Then he jumped back into the water.
然后它跳回了水里。
And a shoal of other little fishes put their heads out, and laughed at Mr. Jeremy Fisher.
一群其他的小鱼探出头来，嘲笑杰里米·费希尔先生。
And while Mr. Jeremy sat disconsolately on the edge of his boat--sucking his sore fingers and peering down into the water--a much worse thing happened; a really frightful thing it would have been, if Mr. Jeremy had not been wearing a macintosh!
就在杰里米先生闷闷不乐地坐在船边——吮吸着受伤的手指，向水里凝视——一件更糟糕的事情发生了；如果杰里米先生没有穿着雨衣，那将是一件真正可怕的事情！
A great big enormous trout came up--ker-pflop-p-p-p! with a splash--and it seized Mr. Jeremy with a snap, "Ow! Ow! Ow!"--and then it turned and dived down to the bottom of the pond!
一条巨大无比的鳟鱼猛地跃出水面——扑通一声！溅起水花——它一口咬住了杰里米先生，「哎哟！哎哟！哎哟！」——然后它转身猛地扎入池塘底部！
But the trout was so displeased with the taste of the macintosh, that in less than half a minute it spat him out again; and the only thing it swallowed was Mr. Jeremy's goloshes.
但鳟鱼对雨衣的味道极为不满，不到半分钟便把他吐了出来；它唯一吞下去的东西是杰里米先生的套鞋。
Mr.
费希尔先生。
