THE TALE OF TWO BAD MICE BY BEATRIX POTTER Author of 'The Tale of Peter Rabbit,' &c.

《两只坏老鼠的故事》，作者：碧雅翠丝·波特，《彼得兔的故事》等书作者

ONCE upon a time there was a very beautiful doll's-house; it was red brick with white windows, and it had real muslin curtains and a front door and a chimney.

从前有一座非常漂亮的玩具屋；它是红砖砌成的，有白色的窗户，还有真正的薄纱窗帘、一扇前门和一根烟囱。

IT belonged to two Dolls called Lucinda and Jane; at least it belonged to Lucinda, but she never ordered meals.

它属于两个玩具娃娃，名叫露辛达和简；至少它是属于露辛达的，但她从来不点餐。

Jane was the Cook; but she never did any cooking, because the dinner had been bought ready-made, in a box full of shavings.

简是厨师；但她从来不做任何烹饪，因为晚餐是现成买来的，装在一个满是木屑的盒子里。

THERE were two red lobsters and a ham, a fish, a pudding, and some pears and oranges.

里面有两只红龙虾、一块火腿、一条鱼、一份布丁，还有一些梨子和橙子。

They would not come off the plates, but they were extremely beautiful.

它们无法从盘子上取下来，但它们极其漂亮。

ONE morning Lucinda and Jane had gone out for a drive in the doll's perambulator. There was no one in the nursery, and it was very quiet. Presently there was a little scuffling, scratching noise in a corner near the fire-place, where there was a hole under the skirting-board.

一天早上，露辛达和简乘着玩具婴儿车出去兜风了。育儿室里没有人，非常安静。不久，壁炉附近的一个角落里传来了轻微的窸窣声和抓挠声，那里的踢脚板下面有一个洞。

Tom Thumb put out his head for a moment, and then popped it in again.

拇指汤姆把头伸出来探了一下，然后又缩了回去。

Tom Thumb was a mouse.

拇指汤姆是一只老鼠。
