Rat and Mole ate in Badger’s warm kitchen. No one spoke until the plates were empty. “ We’re sorry that we bothered you, ” said Rat. “ I’m glad to help, ” said Badger.

老鼠和鼹鼠在獾温暖的厨房里吃饭。 直到盘子空了，才有人说话。 “我们很抱歉打扰了你。”老鼠说。 “我很乐意帮忙，”獾说。

Badger gave them some tea. “ Now tell me, ” said Badger. “ How is Toad?” Rat was surprised. Normally Badger did not talk about Riverbankers.

獾给了他们一些茶。 现在告诉我，”獾说。“蟾蜍怎么样？” 老鼠很惊讶。 通常，獾不会谈论河流银行家。

” How’s Toad?” said Rat. “ Not good. ” ” He crashed another car last week, ” said Mole. ” He’s a very bad driver, ” said Rat. But he thinks he’s the best in the world. ”

“蟾蜍怎么样？”老鼠说。“不好。” “上周他又撞了一辆车，”鼹鼠说“他是个很坏的司机，”老鼠说。但他认为自己是世界上最好的。”

“ How many has he had?” asked Badger. “ Do you mean crashes or cars?” asked Mole. “ It’s the same thing, ” laughed Rat. “ Seven! His yard is full of broken cars. ”

”他吃了多少？”獾问。 ”你是指撞车还是汽车？”鼹鼠问。 ”这是一样的，”老鼠笑道。“七辆！他的院子里全是破汽车。”

“ He went to the hospital three times, ” said Mole. “ Soon he’ll run out of money! ” said Rat. “ Or he’ll get killed! ” “ Shouldn’t we do something?” said Mole.

”他去了三次医院，”鼹鼠说。 ”很快他就没钱了！”老鼠说。 ”否则他会被杀！” ”我们不应该做点什么吗？”鼹鼠说。
