Afraid in the Wood

The Wind in the Willows 15 Afraid in the Wood

杨柳风15 害怕在树林里

The trees in the Wild Wood looked twisted. Mole followed a trail between the trees. The branches were leafless. Logs tripped him. Twigs cracked under his feet.

野树林里的树木看起来扭曲了。 鼹鼠沿着树林间的一条小道走去。 树枝上没有叶子。原木绊倒了他。 树枝在他的脚下裂开了。

“ It’s very gloomy and dark, ” said Mole. From holes in trees, evil faces peeked out. Everywhere he looked, they stared! ” I must get off this path, ” said Mole.

“天很阴暗，”鼹鼠说。 从树上的洞里，邪恶的面孔露了出来。 他所到之处，他们都盯着看！ “我必须离开这条路，”鼹鼠说。

Mole stepped off the trail, deep into the woods. He heard a faint whistling. ” I should turn around, ” he said. “ There’s something up ahead. ”

鼹鼠走出小路，深入树林。 他听到微弱的口哨声。 “我应该转身，”他说。“前面有东西。”

Then the whistling was behind him. ” I don’t think I’ll turn around now, ” he said. Mole stood there, cold and afraid. ” I’m so alone, ” cried Mole.

然后哨声就在他身后。 “我想我现在不会回头了，”他说。 鼹鼠站在那里，又冷又害怕。 “我太孤单了，”鼹鼠喊道。

Something made a pitter-patter sound. “ It sounds like falling leaves, ” Mole said. “ No, it sounds like little feet. Are they in front or behind?”

有什么东西发出噼噼啪啪的声音。 ”听起来像落叶，”鼹鼠说。“不，听起来像小脚。它们是在前面还是后面？”
