10 Terry and the Tooth Fairy

CHAPTER 10 TERRY AND THE TOOTH FAIRY 'Twas the day of the toothache, when all through the tree Not a creature was stirring–no, not even me. Andy's tooth had been placed In a small glass with care In the hopes that the tooth fairy soon would be there.

第十章特里和牙仙子那是我牙痛的日子，整棵树都没有动静——不，连我也没有。 安迪的牙齿被小心翼翼地放在一个小玻璃杯里，希望牙仙子很快就会出现。

Andy was nestled all snug in his bed, While visions of gold coins danced in his head. And me in the bathtub, blowing a bubble. Trying my hardest to stay out of trouble.* *And be really, really quiet!

安迪舒服地躺在床上，金币的幻象在他的脑海里飞舞。 还有我在浴缸里吹泡泡。 尽我最大的努力不惹上麻烦。* *要非常非常安静！

When out in the forest there arose such a clatter, I sprang from my bath to see what was the matter. A towel wrapped around me, I flew like a breeze, To the edge of the decking and peered through the leaves.

当外面的森林里响起这样的声音时，我从浴室里跳了出来，想看看发生了什么事。 一条毛巾裹着我，我像微风一样飞到甲板的边缘，透过树叶向外窥视。

And what to my wondering eyes should appear, But a little steam-powered machine drawing near. And a tiny toy truck with a miniature crane, From which dangled a hook on a small golden chain.

在我好奇的眼睛里出现的，只是一个小小的蒸汽动力机器正在靠近。 还有一辆小玩具卡车，上面有一个微型起重机，吊着一个钩，钩上有一条金链子。

All led by a figure, so lively and airy, I knew in a moment it must be the tooth fairy! More rapid than eagles to the treehouse she came, And she whistled, and shouted, and called her helpers by name!

所有人都被一个人影牵着走，那么活泼，那么轻盈，我马上就知道那一定是牙仙子！她比鹰还快地飞向树屋，她吹着口哨，喊着她的助手的名字！

'Come, Achey! Come, Molar! Come, Driller! Come, Smash! To the top of the tree! To the bedroom let's dash! And we'll heave away, haul away our pearly prize For it's teeth that we gather, no matter the size!'

“来,要是出现!来,摩尔!来,钻地!来,粉碎!到树顶去！我们冲进卧室吧！我们要带走，带走我们的珍珠战利品，因为我们收集的是牙齿，不管大小！”
