Mr. McGregor threw down the sack on the stone floor in a way that would have been extremely painful to the Flopsy Bunnies, if they had happened to have been inside it.
麦格雷戈先生把袋子扔在石板地上,那种方式如果弗洛普西兔子们碰巧在里面的话,会让它们痛苦不堪。
They could hear him drag his chair on the flags, and chuckle--
他们能听到他在石板上拖动椅子的声音,还有他的窃笑声——
"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle rabbits!" said Mr. McGregor.
「一、二、三、四、五、六只小兔子!」麦格雷戈先生说。
"Eh? What's that? What have they been spoiling now?" enquired Mrs. McGregor.
「啊?那是什么?他们又在糟蹋什么了?」麦格雷戈太太问道。
"One, two, three, four, five, six leetle fat rabbits!" repeated Mr. McGregor, counting on his fingers--"one, two, three--"
「一、二、三、四、五、六只小肥兔子!」麦格雷戈先生一边用手指数着一边重复道——「一、二、三——」
"Don't you be silly; what do you mean, you silly old man?"
「别犯傻了;你什么意思,你这个糊涂老头?」
"In the sack! one, two, three, four, five, six!" replied Mr. McGregor.
「在袋子里!一、二、三、四、五、六!」麦格雷戈先生回答道。
(The youngest Flopsy Bunny got upon the window-sill.)
(最小的弗洛普西兔子爬上了窗台。)
Mrs. McGregor took hold of the sack and felt it.
麦格雷戈太太抓住袋子摸了摸。
She said she could feel six, but they must be old rabbits, because they were so hard and all different shapes.
她说她能摸出有六只,但一定是老兔子,因为它们又硬又形状各异。
"Not fit to eat; but the skins will do fine to line my old cloak."
「不适合吃;但皮毛可以用来给我的旧斗篷做衬里。」
"Line your old cloak?" shouted Mr. McGregor--"I shall sell them and buy myself baccy!"
「给你的旧斗篷做衬里?」麦格雷戈先生喊道——「我要把它们卖掉,给自己买烟草!」
"Rabbit tobacco! I shall skin them and cut off their heads."
「兔子换来的烟草!我要剥了它们的皮,砍掉它们的头。」
