The Tale of Mrs. Tittlemouse — Page 2

English → Chinese Full Text Level 1/10

There were yards and yards of sandy passages, leading to storerooms and nut-cellars and seed-cellars, all amongst the roots of the hedge.

那里有一条又一条沙质的通道，通向储藏室、坚果地窖和种子地窖，全都藏在树篱的根部之间。

There was a kitchen, a parlour, a pantry, and a larder.

那里有一间厨房、一间客厅、一间食品储藏室和一间肉食储藏室。

Also, there was Mrs. Tittlemouse's bedroom, where she slept in a little box bed!

此外，还有提托鼠太太的卧室，她就睡在一张小箱式床里！

Mrs. Tittlemouse was a most terribly tidy particular little mouse, always sweeping and dusting the soft sandy floors.

提托鼠太太是一只极其爱整洁、极其讲究的小老鼠，总是不停地打扫和擦拭那柔软的沙质地板。

Sometimes a beetle lost its way in the passages.

有时候，一只甲虫会在通道里迷路。

"Shuh! shuh! little dirty feet!" said Mrs. Tittlemouse, clattering her dust-pan.

「嘘！嘘！脏脚丫子！」提托鼠太太说道，叮叮当当地挥舞着她的畚箕。

And one day a little old woman ran up and down in a red spotty cloak.

有一天，一位穿着红色斑点斗篷的小老太太跑来跑去。

"Your house is on fire, Mother Ladybird! Fly away home to your children!"

「你的房子着火了，瓢虫妈妈！快飞回家去陪你的孩子们吧！」

Another day, a big fat spider came in to shelter from the rain.

又有一天，一只肥大的蜘蛛进来躲雨。

"Beg pardon, is this not Miss Muffet's?"

「打扰了，请问这里不是玛菲特小姐的家吗？」

"Go away, you bold bad spider! Leaving ends of cobweb all over my nice clean house!"

「走开，你这厚脸皮的坏蜘蛛！把蜘蛛网的残丝到处乱留，弄脏我干净整洁的家！」

He let himself down the hedge with a long thin bit of string.

蜘蛛用一根细长的丝线顺着树篱爬了下去。

Mrs. Tittlemouse went on her way to a distant storeroom, to fetch cherry-stones and thistle-down seed for dinner.

提托鼠太太继续走向一间遥远的储藏室，去取樱桃核和蓟绒种子做晚餐。

All along the passage she sniffed, and looked at the floor.

她一路走过通道，不停地嗅着气味，低头看着地板。

"I smell a smell of honey; is it the cowslips outside, in the hedge?

「我闻到一股蜂蜜的气味；是外面树篱里的报春花发出来的吗？
