The Tale of Peter Rabbit — Page 1
从前,有四只小兔子,它们的名字分别是——
Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were--
弗洛普西、莫普西、棉花尾巴,还有彼得。
Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.
它们和妈妈住在一个沙堆里,就在一棵大冷杉的树根下面。
They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree.
一天早上,老兔妈妈说:"孩子们,你们可以去田野里玩,或者去小巷里逛,但千万不能进麦格雷戈先生的花园——你们的父亲曾在那里出了事,被麦格雷戈太太做成了馅饼。"
'Now my dears,' said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, 'you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor.'
"快去吧,不要惹麻烦。我要出门了。"
'Now run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out.'
随后,老兔妈妈拿起一个篮子和她的雨伞,穿过树林去了面包店。她买了一条黑麦面包和五个葡萄干小圆面包。
Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, and went through the wood to the baker's. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five currant buns.
弗洛普西、莫普西和棉花尾巴是乖巧的小兔子,它们沿着小巷去采黑莓了。
Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail, who were good little bunnies, went down the lane to gather blackberries:
但彼得非常淘气,他径直跑去麦格雷戈先生的花园,从栅栏门下面挤了进去!
But Peter, who was very naughty, ran straight away to Mr. McGregor's garden, and squeezed under the gate!
他先吃了些莴苣和四季豆,然后又吃了些小萝卜。
First he ate some lettuces and some French beans; and then he ate some radishes;
接着,感到有些不舒服的他,去寻找一些欧芹来吃。
And then, feeling rather sick, he went to look for some parsley.
但是,就在黄瓜架的尽头,他遇见了麦格雷戈先生!
But round the end of a cucumber frame, whom should he meet but Mr. McGregor!
