On the Train
在火车上
Toad looked up from the bench. “ Are you all right?” said the train engineer. “ You don’t look very happy. ”
蟾蜍从长凳上抬起头来。 “你没事吧?””火车司机说。“你看起来不太高兴。”
“ Oh, sir! ” said Toad, crying. “ I am a poor washwoman. I lost all my money. ” “ That’s awful, ” said the engineer.
“哦,先生!癞蛤蟆哭着说。“我是一个贫穷的洗衣妇。我失去了所有的钱。” “太糟糕了,”司机说。
“ I can’t pay for a ticket, ” cried Toad. “ I must get home! ” “ Do you have kids?” asked the engineer.
“我付不起票钱,”蟾蜍叫道。“我必须回家!” “你有孩子吗?”司机问。
“ Why, yes! ” said Toad. “ I have lots of kids. They will be crying and hungry. ” “ Well, I’ll help you, ” said the engineer. “ You can wash my shirts to repay me. ”
“怎么这么问,是的!蟾蜍说。“我有很多孩子。他们会哭也会饿。” “好吧,我来帮你,”司机说。“你可以洗我的衬衫来报答我。”
“ I will, as soon as I get home, ” said Toad. “ Hop up! ” said the engineer. “ You can ride on the engine with me. ” Toad thanked him and climbed up.
“我一回家就去,”蟾蜍说 “上来吧!”司机说。“你可以和我一起坐在引擎上。” 蟾蜍谢过他,爬了上去。
