English → Chinese Full Text Level 1/10

And she took something out of a clothes-basket, and spread it on the ironing-blanket.

她从衣物篮里取出一件东西，把它铺在熨衣毯上。

"What's that thing?" said Lucie--"that's not my pocket-handkin?"

「那是什么东西？」露西说——「那不是我的手帕吧？」

"Oh no, if you please'm; that's a little scarlet waist-coat belonging to Cock Robin!"

「哦，不是的，夫人；那是知更鸟的一件小红背心！」

And she ironed it and folded it, and put it on one side.

她把它熨好折叠起来，放在一旁。

Then she took something else off a clothes-horse--

然后她从晾衣架上取下另一件东西——

"That isn't my pinny?" said Lucie.

「那不是我的围裙吧？」露西说。

"Oh no, if you please'm; that's a damask table-cloth belonging to Jenny Wren; look how it's stained with currant wine! It's very bad to wash!" said Mrs. Tiggy-winkle.

「哦，不是的，夫人；那是鹪鹩珍妮的锦缎桌布；您看它被醋栗酒染得多脏！真是很难洗干净！」刺猬太太说。

Mrs. Tiggy-winkle's nose went sniffle, sniffle, snuffle, and her eyes went twinkle, twinkle; and she fetched another hot iron from the fire.

刺猬太太的鼻子嗅啊嗅啊嗅个不停，她的眼睛闪啊闪个不停；她又从火边取来一个热熨斗。

"There's one of my pocket-handkins!" cried Lucie--"and there's my pinny!"

「这是我的一块手帕！」露西叫道——「还有我的围裙！」

Mrs. Tiggy-winkle ironed it, and goffered it, and shook out the frills.

刺猬太太把它熨好，压出褶边，抖开了花边。

"Oh that _is_ lovely!" said Lucie.

「哦，那真是太漂亮了！」露西说。

"And what are those long yellow things with fingers like gloves?"

「那些像手套一样有指头的长黄色东西是什么？」

"Oh, that's a pair of stockings belonging to Sally Henny-penny--look how she's worn the heels out with scratching in the yard! She'll very soon go barefoot!" said Mrs. Tiggy-winkle.

「哦，那是母鸡莎莉的一双长袜——您看她在院子里刨地把后跟都磨破了！她很快就要光脚走路了！」刺猬太太说。

"Why, there's another handkersniff--but it isn't mine; it's red?"

「哎，还有一块手帕——但不是我的；它是红色的？」

"Oh no, if you please'm; that one belongs to old Mrs. Rabbit; and it _did_ so smell of onions! I've had to wash it separately, I can't get out the smell."

「哦，不是的，夫人；那块是老兔太太的；它实在太臭洋葱味了！我不得不单独洗它，可还是去不掉那股味道。」

"There's another one of mine," said Lucie.

「这是我的又一块，」露西说。

"What are those funny little white things?"

「那些有趣的小白色东西是什么？」
