Rat brushed at the snow. He cleared away an area of painted wood. “ What is it?” said Mole, excited. “ Never mind, ” said Rat. “ Now we must really dig. ”

老鼠在雪地上掠过。 他清除了一块油漆过的木头。 ”这是什么？”鼹鼠兴奋地说。 ”没关系，”老鼠说。“现在我们必须真正挖掘。”

They scraped and dug and pushed away the snow. At last the entire piece of wood was cleared. In the moonlight, Mole saw what it was. “ Why, it’s a little door! ” cried Mole.

他们刮、挖、推雪。 最后，整片木头都被清理干净了。 在月光下，鼹鼠看到了它是什么。 ”为什么，这是一扇小门！”鼹鼠叫道。

An iron bell hung beside the door. “ Read this, Mole, ” said Rat, pointing. A name was carved in the center of the door: MR. BADGER.

门旁边挂着一个铁铃。 ”读这个，鼹鼠，”河鼠指着说。 门中央刻着一个名字：獾先生。

Mole fell backward in the snow. “ Rat! ” he cried with surprise. “ It’s Mr. Badger’s house! You have a very clever brain, Ratty! ”

鼹鼠向后倒在雪地里。 ”老鼠！”他惊讶地哭了。 “这是獾先生的房子！你的脑子很聪明，老鼠！”

“ How did you figure it out?” asked Mole. “ Are you going to talk all night?” said Rat. “ Ring that bell! ”

”你是怎么想出来的？”鼹鼠问。 ”你打算通宵聊天吗？”老鼠说。 ”按门铃！”
