The Wind inthe Willows 4 Getting to Know the River

杨柳风4 了解河流

Rat rowed and Mole watched the waves. Rat pointed to a rock near the bank. " Look! " said Rat. " That is where I caught my first fish. "

老鼠划着船，鼹鼠看着海浪。 老鼠指着岸边的一块岩石。 “看！”老鼠说。 ”那是我第一次钓到鱼的地方。"

But Mole didn’t hear him. He was too busy enjoying the river. “ This is all new to me! ” grinned Mole.

但是鼹鼠没有听见。 他忙于欣赏河流。 “这对我来说是全新的！”鼹鼠咧嘴一笑。

“ The river is my world, ” said Rat. “ I don’t want any other. ” ” But it must be boring sometimes, ” said Mole. “ Never! ” said Rat.

”这条河是我的世界，”河鼠说。 “我不想要其他的。” “但有时候肯定很无聊，”鼹鼠说。 “绝不！”老鼠说。

The river passed by some dark woods. “ What’s over there?” asked Mole. “ That? It’s the Wild Wood, ” said Rat. “ We Riverbankers don’t go there much. ”

河流经过一些黑暗的树林。 “那边是什么？”鼹鼠问。 “那？那是野树林，”老鼠说。“我们河流银行家不常去那里。”

“ Are folks nice there?” asked Mole. ” The squirrels are all right. Some of the rabbits are nice too. But you can’t trust the weasels! ” said Rat.

”那里的人好吗？”鼹鼠问。 “松鼠们没事。有些兔子也很好。但你不能相信黄鼠狼！”老鼠说。
