Possum’s Boat
负鼠的船
Toad stood on the boat. He watched the countryside roll by. “ I’m finally on my way home! ” he sighed.
蟾蜍站在船上。他望着乡间的景色一晃而过。 “我终于在回家的路上了!“他叹了口气。
The possum looked at Toad’s dress. “ So you’re a washwoman?” she asked. “ Oh yes, ” said Toad, remembering how he looked. Then he could not stop himself. He started to brag.
负鼠看着蟾蜍的衣服。“你是个洗衣妇?”她问道。 “哦,是的,”蟾蜍说,想起了他的样子。然后他无法阻止自己。他开始吹牛。
“ I have the best business in the country! The richest people bring me their clothes! And twenty washwomen work for me, ” said Toad. “ I’m very impressed! ” said the possum.
“我的生意是全国最好的!”最富有的人把他们的衣服给我!还有二十个洗衣妇为我干活。”蟾蜍说。 “我很佩服!”负鼠说。
“ I just love doing the wash, ” said Toad. “ When I’m washing, I feel great! I clean clothes better than anyone. ” “ How lucky that I met you! ” said the possum.
“我就是喜欢洗衣服,”蟾蜍说。“当我洗衣服的时候,我感觉很棒!我洗衣服比任何人都好。” “我能遇见你真是太幸运了!“负鼠说。
“ What do you mean?” asked Toad. “ My dirty clothes are in the back, ” she said. “ They need washing. ” “ Oh, why didn’t I keep quiet?” thought Toad.
“你是什么意思?”蟾蜍问。“我的脏衣服在后面,”她说。 “它们需要清洗。” “哦,我为什么不保持沉默呢?”蟾蜍想。
