Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO. Timmy ran ahead, glad that they were off for what appeared to be a walk. He was very disappointed when the others flopped down in a little copse under some big leafy trees near a small brook. He stood looking at them in disgust.

第二章。蒂米跑在前面，很高兴他们似乎是去散步了。 他非常失望，当其他人在一条小溪附近的一些大树叶下的小灌木丛中扑通一声倒下时。 他站在那里厌恶地看着他们。

'Sorry, Tim. No Walkies,' said George. 'Come and sit down with us. For goodness' sake, don't go rabbiting in this weather.' 'It'd be a waste of your time, Timmy,' said Dick. 'All sensible bunnies are having an afternoon snooze, down at the bottom of their holes, waiting for the cool evening to come.' 'Woof, said Timmy in scorn, watching the four arrange themselves comfortably under a canopy made by young saplings and bushes.

“对不起,蒂姆。“没有对讲机。”乔治说。 “过来和我们一起坐下来。 看在上帝的份上，不要在这种天气去捉兔子。“那是浪费你的时间，蒂米，”迪克说。 “所有懂事的兔子都在洞底打盹儿，等待凉爽的夜晚的到来。”“汪，”蒂米轻蔑地说，看着他们四个人舒服地坐在小树苗和灌木搭成的树冠下。

Branches from big trees nearby overhung them, and by the time the four had wriggled themselves well into the little thicket, not a single sunbeam could reach them. In fact, it was difficult to see them, so well hidden were they in the green shade. 'This is better,' said George. I think it's about the coolest spot we'll find anywhere. Doesn't that little stream sound nice, too, gurgling away over the stones. I think I'm going to sleep- and if you dare to flop yourself down on my middle, Timmy, I'll send you home!'

附近大树的树枝悬在他们的头顶上，等他们四个人钻进小灌木丛时，一缕阳光也照不到他们。 事实上，很难看到他们，因为他们在绿荫中隐藏得很好。 “这里好多了，”乔治说。 我想这是我们能找到的最酷的地方了。 小溪潺潺流过石头，听起来是不是也很好听？ 我想我要睡觉了——如果你敢趴在我身上，蒂米，我就送你回家！”

Timmy stood and looked at the well-hidden four. His tail drooped

蒂米站起来，看着藏得很好的四个人。 它的尾巴耷拉着
