A Plan for Escape

逃生计划

“ Do you mean I can go home?” shouted Toad. “ Oh, I will sleep at Toad Hall again! ” Toad jumped up and down. “ Shh, ” the jailer’s daughter said.

“你是说我可以回家了吗?”蟾蜍喊道。“哦，我又要睡在蛤蟆宅第了!” 蟾蜍跳上跳下。“嘘，”狱卒的女儿说。

She looked around. “ I have an aunt who is a washwoman. My aunt does the prison wash, ” she said.

她环顾四周。 “我有一个阿姨，她是洗衣妇。我姑姑在监狱里洗衣服，”她说。

“ What a hard job! ” said Toad. “ And for the whole prison too! Think of all the dirty clothes! ” “ Quiet, Toad, ” the daughter said. “ Listen! ”

“多辛苦的工作啊!”蟾蜍说。“还有整个监狱! 想想那些脏衣服!” “安静，癞蛤蟆，”女儿说。“听!”

She continued, “ Since you are rich . . . ” “ Well, I am rich, ” said Toad. “ If you give her some money, ” she said, “ my aunt will give you her dress and bonnet. ”

她接着说:“既然你有钱……” “嗯，我有钱，”蟾蜍说。 “如果你给她一些钱，”她说，“我姑姑就会把她的衣服和帽子给你。”

“ Why would I want her old dress?” said Toad. “ To escape! ” she said. “ You can pretend to be her! ”

“我为什么要她的旧衣服?”蟾蜍说。 “逃跑!“她说。“你可以装成她!”
