Getting Ready for a Wedding

准备婚礼

Mr. Rufus spoke quietly with Mrs. Gray and then left. “ My plan is working perfectly, ” Mrs. Gray said, her nose wiggling happily. “ What plan?” asked Thumbelina. “ Mr. Rufus has agreed to marry you, ” said Mrs. Gray. Thumbelina was shocked. But I don’t want to marry him, ” she said.

鲁弗斯先生和格雷夫人轻声交谈，然后离开了。 “我的计划进展顺利。格雷说，她的鼻子高兴地扭动着。 “什么计划？”拇指姑娘问。 鲁弗斯先生已经同意嫁给你了，”格雷太太说。 拇指姑娘大吃一惊。 但我不想嫁给他，”她说。

“ Don’t be silly, ” frowned Mrs. Gray. “ Mr. Rufus is rich and kind. You are lucky he wants to marry you. ” “ But Mrs. Gray-, ” began Thumbelina. “ Not another word! ” the mouse said sharply. “ There is so much to do. ” One morning Mrs. Gray brought in a big basket of corn husks.

“别傻了，”格雷夫人皱着眉头。“鲁弗斯先生既有钱又善良。你很幸运他想嫁给你。” “但是格雷夫人——”拇指姑娘开始说道。 “别再说了！”老鼠说尖锐地。“有很多事情要做。” 一天早上，格雷太太带来了一大筐玉米壳。

“ Mr. Rufus wants you to weave some mats, ” said Mrs. Gray. “ He has furry feet, but you do not. And his floors are cold. ” Thumbelina stared at her bare feet. She had lost her shoes in the forest somewhere. The next day, Mrs. Gray brought in dried hay.

“鲁弗斯先生要你织一些垫子，”格雷太太说。“他有毛茸茸的脚，但你没有。他的地板很冷。” 拇指姑娘凝视着她赤裸的双脚。 她在森林里的某个地方丢了鞋子。 第二天，格雷太太送来了干草。

“ You need to make some brooms, ” said Mrs. Gray. “ Mr. Rufus’ home has many rooms. They all need sweeping. ” “ I don’t care, ” Thumbelina almost shouted. “ He lives underground. I’ll never see the sunshine again. ” “ Well then, you’ll need some light, ” Mrs. Gray said, ignoring Thumbelina.

“你需要做一些扫帚，”格雷太太说。“鲁弗斯先生的家里有很多房间，都需要打扫。” “我不在乎，”拇指姑娘几乎喊道。“他住在地下。我再也见不到阳光了。” “好吧，那你就需要点光了，”格雷夫人说，没有理会拇指姑娘。

She went to the closet. “ Here’s a lantern, ” she said. “ It will be dark in your new home. But you will get used to it. ” “ Why can’t I stay with you?” Thumbelina asked. Mrs. Gray said sternly, “ Plans have been made. It’s too late to change them now. ” “ But I won’t be happy, ” Thumbelina said sadly.

她去了壁橱。 “这是一个灯笼，”她说。“你的新家会很黑。但你会习惯的。” “为什么我不能和你在一起？”拇指姑娘问。 格雷夫人严厉地说：“计划已经制定好了。现在改变计划太晚了。” “但我不会高兴的，”拇指姑娘伤心地说。
