English → Chinese Full Text Level 1/10

A MINUTE afterwards, Hunca Munca, his wife, put her head out, too; and when she saw that there was no one in the nursery, she ventured out on the oilcloth under the coal-box.

片刻之后，亨卡·芒卡，他的妻子，也把头探了出来；当她看到育儿室里没有人时，她大胆地爬到了煤箱下面的油布上。

THE doll's-house stood at the other side of the fire-place. Tom Thumb and Hunca Munca went cautiously across the hearthrug. They pushed the front door--it was not fast.

玩具娃娃屋立在壁炉的另一侧。拇指汤姆和亨卡·芒卡小心翼翼地穿过壁炉前的地毯。他们推了推前门——门没有锁紧。

TOM THUMB and Hunca Munca went upstairs and peeped into the dining-room. Then they squeaked with joy!

拇指汤姆和亨卡·芒卡走上楼，偷偷地往餐厅里张望。然后他们高兴地吱吱叫了起来！

Such a lovely dinner was laid out upon the table! There were tin spoons, and lead knives and forks, and two dolly-chairs--all so convenient!

桌上摆着多么丰盛可爱的晚餐啊！有锡制的汤匙，铅制的刀叉，还有两把玩具椅子——一切都如此称心如意！

TOM THUMB set to work at once to carve the ham. It was a beautiful shiny yellow, streaked with red.

拇指汤姆立刻动手切那块火腿。火腿呈漂亮的亮黄色，上面带着红色的纹路。

The knife crumpled up and hurt him; he put his finger in his mouth.

刀子弯折了，划伤了他；他把手指放进嘴里。

"It is not boiled enough; it is hard. You have a try, Hunca Munca."

「火腿煮得不够熟，太硬了。你来试试，亨卡·芒卡。」

HUNCA MUNCA stood up in her chair, and chopped at the ham with another lead knife.

亨卡·芒卡站在椅子上，用另一把铅制刀子使劲地砍那块火腿。

"It's as hard as the hams at the cheesemonger's," said Hunca Munca.

「这火腿跟奶酪店里的火腿一样硬，」亨卡·芒卡说。

THE ham broke off the plate with a jerk, and rolled under the table.

火腿猛地从盘子上脱落，滚到了桌子底下。

"Let it alone," said Tom Thumb; "give me some fish, Hunca Munca!"

「别管它了，」拇指汤姆说；「给我来点鱼，亨卡·芒卡！」

HUNCA MUNCA tried every tin spoon in turn; the fish was glued to the dish.

亨卡·芒卡依次试遍了每一把锡制汤匙；鱼粘在盘子上动也动不了。

Then Tom Thumb lost his temper.

这时，拇指汤姆发火了。
