Everyone waited to hear Badger’s secret. “ There is a tunnel, ” said Badger. “ It leads from the riverbank to Toad Hall. ”

每个人都等着听獾的秘密。 “有一条地道。”獾说。“它从河岸通到蛤蟆宅第。”

“ That’s not true! ” said Toad. “ I know Toad Hall! There’s no tunnel. ” Badger looked very serious.

“那不是真的!”蟾蜍说。“我知道蛤蟆宅第! 根本没有隧道。” 獾看上去很严肃。

“ Toad, ” said Badger, “ I knew your father well. Your father found the tunnel long ago. He told me not to tell you. He knew you could not keep a secret. ”

“蟾蜍，”獾说，“我很了解你父亲。你父亲很久以前就发现了隧道。他让我别告诉你。他知道你不能保守秘密。”

“ That’s true, ” said Toad, turning red. Then Badger told them some news. “ Yesterday Otter went to Toad Hall. He pretended to be a house cleaner, ” said Badger.

“那倒是真的，”蟾蜍说，脸涨得通红。然后獾告诉他们一些消息。 “昨天水獭去了蛤蟆宅第。他假装是一个清洁工。”獾说。

“ I’ll bet the ferrets laughed at him, ” said Rat. “ They did, ” said Badger. “ But they also told him about a party. ” “ What?” said Mole.

“我敢打赌雪貂们都在嘲笑他。”水鼠说。“是的。”獾说。 但他们也告诉了他一个聚会的事。”“什么?鼹鼠说。
