The Tale of Peter Rabbit — Page 2

English → Chinese Full Text Level 1/10

McGregor was on his hands and knees planting out young cabbages, but he jumped up and ran after Peter, waving a rake and calling out, 'Stop thief!'

麦格雷戈正跪在地上种小卷心菜，但他突然跳起来追赶彼得，挥舞着一把耙子，大声喊道："站住，小偷！"

Peter was most dreadfully frightened; he rushed all over the garden, for he had forgotten the way back to the gate.

彼得吓得要命；他在花园里四处乱跑，因为他已经忘记了回到大门的路。

He lost one of his shoes among the cabbages, and the other shoe amongst the potatoes.

他在卷心菜丛中丢失了一只鞋，另一只鞋则丢在了马铃薯地里。

After losing them, he ran on four legs and went faster, so that I think he might have got away altogether if he had not unfortunately run into a gooseberry net, and got caught by the large buttons on his jacket.

丢掉鞋子之后，他用四条腿跑，速度更快了，我想他本可以完全逃脱的，可惜他不幸跑进了一张醋栗网，外套上的大纽扣被网缠住了。

It was a blue jacket with brass buttons, quite new.

那是一件蓝色的外套，缀着黄铜纽扣，是全新的。

Peter gave himself up for lost, and shed big tears; but his sobs were overheard by some friendly sparrows, who flew to him in great excitement, and implored him to exert himself.

彼得以为自己必死无疑，流下了大颗泪珠；但他的哭泣声被几只好心的麻雀听到了，它们兴奋地飞到他身边，恳求他振作起来。

Mr. McGregor came up with a sieve, which he intended to pop upon the top of Peter; but Peter wriggled out just in time, leaving his jacket behind him.

麦格雷戈先生拿着一个筛子走了过来，打算把它扣在彼得身上；但彼得及时挣脱了出来，把外套留在了原地。

And rushed into the tool-shed, and jumped into a can.

他冲进了工具棚，跳进了一个水罐里。

It would have been a beautiful thing to hide in, if it had not had so much water in it.

那本是个藏身的好地方，可惜里面装了太多水。

Mr. McGregor was quite sure that Peter was somewhere in the tool-shed, perhaps hidden underneath a flower-pot.

麦格雷戈先生十分确信彼得就躲在工具棚里的某处，也许藏在一个花盆底下。

He began to turn them over carefully, looking under each.

他开始小心翼翼地逐一翻动花盆，查看每一个下面。

Presently Peter sneezed--'Kertyschoo!' Mr. McGregor was after him in no time.

就在这时，彼得打了个喷嚏——"阿嚏！"麦格雷戈先生立刻追了过来。
