TALES OF OLIVER PIG

小猪奥利弗的故事

BAKING DAY "Today," said Oliver, "I want to dig a very deep hole. And after that I will make you a sand cake." "Today is not a day for outside," said Mother. "It is cold and wet." "What can I do then?" asked Oliver.

烘焙日 “今天呀，”奥利弗说，“我要挖一个特别特别深的洞。 挖好之后我要给你做一个沙子蛋糕。” “今天可不能去外面哦，”妈妈说， “外面又冷又湿的。” “那我能做什么呀？”奥利弗问。

"Come to the kitchen," said Mother. A big yellow mixing bowl was on the kitchen table. "Today," said Mother, "is a baking day." "What are we going to bake?" asked Oliver. "Oatmeal cookies," said Mother. "With raisins?" asked Oliver. "With lots of raisins," said Mother.

“到厨房来呀，”妈妈说。 厨房的桌子上放着一个大大的黄色搅拌碗。 “今天呀，”妈妈说，“是烘焙日哦。” “我们要烤什么好吃的呀？”奥利弗问。 “燕麦曲奇哦，”妈妈说。 “加葡萄干吗？”奥利弗问。 “加好多好多葡萄干哦，”妈妈说。

Mother took the cooking things out of the cupboard. "What will we put in the cookies?" asked Oliver. "First some butter," said Mother. "And some sugar." "Can I do the mixing?" asked Oliver. "Yes," said Mother. Oliver started stirring. "Gah?" said Amanda. Mother gave Amanda a bowl and spoon. Amanda started stirring.

妈妈把烘焙要用的东西从橱柜里拿了出来。 “我们要往曲奇里放什么呀？”奥利弗问。 “首先放一点黄油，”妈妈说。 “再放些糖。” “我可以来搅拌吗？”奥利弗问。 “可以呀，”妈妈说。 奥利弗开始搅了起来。 “嘎？”阿曼达发出声音。 妈妈给了阿曼达一个碗和一把勺子。 阿曼达也开始搅了起来。

"Now we'll need an egg," said Mother. Oliver stirred up the egg until the yellow part disappeared. "And the oats, of course," said Mother. Oliver stirred them in. "And a cup of flour and some baking powder," said Mother. Oliver stirred and stirred. Flour spilled on the table. Flour got all over Oliver. "This is hard work," said Oliver. "Yes," said Mother. "But you are a good helper." Amanda patted flour all over herself.

“现在我们需要一个鸡蛋，”妈妈说。 奥利弗把鸡蛋搅匀，直到蛋黄都看不到了。 “当然还要加燕麦啦，”妈妈说。 奥利弗把燕麦也搅了进去。 “再加一杯面粉和一些泡打粉，”妈妈说。 奥利弗搅呀搅呀。 面粉洒到了桌子上。 奥利弗身上也沾得到处都是面粉。 “这活儿好费劲呀，”奥利弗说。 “是呀，”妈妈说。 “但你是个超棒的小帮手哦。” 阿曼达把面粉拍得自己满身都是。

"Now the spices," said Mother. Oliver put in a sprinkle of nutmeg and a sprinkle of cloves and two sprinkles of cinnamon. "We need one thing more," said Mother. "What do you think it is?" "'Raisins?" asked Oliver. "Raisins," said Mother. Mother poured two piles of raisins on the table. "These are for the cookies," she said, "and these are for my helper." "Gah?" said Amanda. Mother poured two piles of raisins on Amanda's tray. Amanda ate both piles. "Now the cookie dough is ready," said Mother.

“现在要加香料啦，”妈妈说。 奥利弗撒了一点肉豆蔻粉，一点丁香粉，还撒了两勺肉桂粉。 “我们还差一样东西哦，”妈妈说。 “你想想是什么呀？” “是葡萄干吗？”奥利弗问。 “就是葡萄干呀，”妈妈说。 妈妈在桌子上倒了两堆葡萄干。 “这些是放曲奇里的，”她说，“这些是给我的小帮手的。” “嘎？”阿曼达发出声音。 妈妈在阿曼达的小托盘上也倒了两堆葡萄干。 阿曼达把两堆都吃光了。 “现在曲奇面团就做好啦，”妈妈说。
