The Ugly Duckling

The Ugly Duckling

丑小鸭

I have six eggs said mother duck. One, two, three, four, five, six. Five eggs were smooth and small and white, but the sixth egg was huge.

鸭妈妈说："我有六个蛋。" 一、二、三、四、五、六。 五个蛋滑溜溜的，又小又白，可第六个蛋特别大。

All spring, the mother duck sat on her eggs, waiting for them to hatch. She waited, and waited, and waited.

整个春天，鸭妈妈都趴在蛋上，等着它们孵化。 她等啊，等啊，等了好久。

until it last. Hooray! One of the eggs went tap, tap, tap. Hurry! Mother duck called to the other ducks. Come and see. My eggs are hatching.

终于等到啦！好耶！ 有个蛋开始哒哒哒地响。 鸭妈妈朝其他鸭子喊道："快过来！" "快来看呀，我的蛋要孵出来啦。"

One egg shell after another burst open. Cheep, cheep, cheep, cheep. Come out, come out, called mother duck. And the ducklings came tumbling out.

蛋壳一个接一个地裂开了。 唧、唧、唧、唧。 "出来呀，快出来呀。"鸭妈妈喊道。 小鸭子们跌跌撞撞地钻了出来。

They looked all around at the tall grasses and the green leaves. Is everyone here? asked Mother Duck. But the big egg still hadn't hatched.

它们东张西望，看着高高的青草和绿绿的树叶。 "大家都到齐了吗？"鸭妈妈问。 可是那个大蛋还没孵出来。
