In a Ditch

The Wind in the Willows 11 In a Ditch

杨柳风11 在沟渠中

The stars faded and the sun rose. The dew sparkled on the grass. “ Good morning, ” said Rat, waking. “ Good morning, ” said Mole.

星星消失了，太阳升起了。 露水在草地上闪闪发光。 “早上好，”河鼠醒来后说道。 ”早上好，”鼹鼠说。

Toad was still sleeping and snoring. “ Well, ” said Rat, “ there are chores to do. ” Mole fed the horse and Rat got the dishes out. Together they collected firewood.

蟾蜍还在睡觉，打鼾。 “好吧，”老鼠说，“有家务要做。” 鼹鼠喂马，老鼠把盘子拿出来。 他们一起拾柴。

Rat started a fire and Mole cooked breakfast. Finally the smell of coffee woke Toad. " Ah, ” said Toad, stretching. “ Isn’t it great? There are no chores to do on the road! ”

老鼠生火，鼹鼠做早餐。 最后，咖啡的味道唤醒了蟾蜍。 “啊，”蟾蜍伸懒腰说。“这不是很棒吗？路上没有杂事可做！”

" That’s true for people who sleep too late, ” grumbled Rat. But Toad didn’t hear him. He was too busy eating.

”这对睡得太晚的人来说是真的，”老鼠抱怨道。 但是蟾蜍没有听见。 他忙着吃饭。

“ I’m ready. Let’s go! ” cried Toad after breakfast. Mole and Rat got into the cart. Toad tied the horse to the cart, and they started off. The dusty road led through a meadow.

我准备好了。我们走吧！”蟾蜍吃过早餐后喊道。 鼹鼠和老鼠上了车。 蟾蜍把马拴在马车上，他们就出发了。 尘土飞扬的道路穿过一片草地。
