All Alone

独自一人

Thumbelina felt like crying. She was scared, hungry, and lonely. “ I will not cry, ” she said aloud. “ At least I am free. No one is trying to catch me. ” She felt better. Thumbelina wandered for many days. It was not easy to survive in the forest. Thumbelina used a leaf as an umbrella when it rained.

拇指姑娘想哭。 She was scared, hungry, and lonely. 我不会哭，”她大声说。“至少我是自由的。 没人想抓住我。”她感觉好多了。 拇指姑娘流浪了好多天。 在森林里生存并不容易。 拇指姑娘下雨时用树叶当伞。

At night she slept on soft moss in a tree root. Every morning, Thumbelina washed her face with dew from the grass. Then she’d climb a flower and eat a petal or two. “ I’m tired of eating flowers every day, ” she said. She was nibbling on a lily. “ Tired of flowers?” said a red bug with black dots.

晚上，她睡在树根上柔软的苔藓上。 每天早上，拇指姑娘用草上的露水洗脸。 然后她会爬上一朵花，吃掉一两片花瓣。 我厌倦了每天吃花，”她说。她在啃一朵百合花。 她在啃一朵百合花。 厌倦了鲜花？”一只带黑点的红虫子说。

“ Oh, I’m sorry, ” said Thumbelina. “ I didn’t see you. I’ll go to another flower. ” “ I’m a ladybug. I don’t eat flowers, ” said the bug. “ I eat tiny insects. ” “ Don’t eat me! I’m not an insect. I’m Thumbelina. ” “ And my name is Ladybird, ” laughed the ladybug. “ Would you like these insects? They’re very good. ”

“哦，对不起，”拇指姑娘说。“我没看见你。我要去另一朵花。” “我是一只瓢虫。我不吃花，”虫子说。“我吃小昆虫。” “别吃我！我不是一只昆虫。我是拇指姑娘。” “我叫瓢虫，”瓢虫笑道。“你喜欢这些昆虫吗？它们很好。”

“ No, thank you, ” Thumbelina said quickly. “ How about some blueberries?” said Ladybird, smiling. “ I can show you where they grow. Follow me. ” Thumbelina clapped her hands and said, “ That sounds wonderful. Thank you! ”

“不，谢谢你。”拇指姑娘很快地说。 “来点蓝莓怎么样？”瓢虫笑着说。“我可以告诉你它们生长的地方。跟着我。” 拇指姑娘拍手说：“听起来很好。谢谢！”

Suddenly the ladybug opened her wings to fly. The lily started to move back and forth. Thumbelina lost her balance and fell off the flower. “ Hey! ” She landed on a sand hill and slid down a dark tunnel. “ Enemy alert! ” someone shouted.

突然，瓢虫张开翅膀飞翔。 The lily started to move back and forth. 拇指姑娘失去了平衡从花上掉下来。 嘿！”她降落在一座沙丘上，滑下一条黑暗的隧道。 敌人警报！”有人喊道。
