Doing the Wash

洗衣服

Toad walked to the back of the boat. “ I’m Toad of Toad Hall! ” he grumbled. “ I don’t wash clothes! ” Beside the dirty clothes was a washtub.

蟾蜍走到船尾。“我是蛤蟆府邸的蟾蜍!”他抱怨道。 “我不洗衣服!”脏衣服旁边是一个洗衣盆。

Toad picked up the soap. He held up a shirt. “ How do I wash this?” he said. He dipped it in the tub.

癞蛤蟆捡起肥皂。他举起一件衬衫。 “我怎么洗这个?”他说。他把它浸在浴缸里。

“ Should I rub soap on it?” he asked. Toad lay the shirt on the deck. “ Okay, I’ll rub some soap on it, ” said Toad. “ Hmmm, now what do I do?”

“我要在上面擦肥皂吗?”他问道。蟾蜍把衬衫放在甲板上。 “好吧，我在上面擦点肥皂，”蟾蜍说。“嗯，现在我要做什么?”

“ Oh, I’ll dip it in the tub again! ” said Toad. Toad put the shirt in the water. “ Hmmm, it’s still dirty, ” Toad said, taking it out. He splashed the shirt in the tub again and again.

“哦，我要再把它浸在浴缸里!”蟾蜍说。蟾蜍把衬衫放进水里。 “嗯，它还是脏的。”蟾蜍说着，把它拿了出来。他把衬衫一次又一次地泼在浴缸里。

“ I know! I’ll twist the shirt! ” said Toad. He twisted and hit the shirt against the tub. Soap bubbles spilled over the side into a puddle. “ Ahhh! ” Toad yelled, as he slipped and fell.

“我知道!我来拧衬衫!“蟾蜍说。他扭了一下，把衬衫撞在浴缸上。 肥皂泡从边上溅到一个水坑里。“啊!”癞蛤蟆大叫，一面滑倒在地。
