你

A swim. Toad and Frog went down to the river. What a day for a swim! said Frog. Yes, said Toad. I will go behind these rocks and put on my bathing suit. I don't wear a bathing suit, said Frog. Well, I do, said Toad.

去游泳啦。 蟾蜍和青蛙来到了河边。 青蛙说：“今天可太适合游泳啦！” 蟾蜍说：“对呀。我要到石头后面去换我的游泳衣。” 青蛙说：“我可不穿游泳衣哦。” 蟾蜍说：“哼，我可是要穿的。”

After I put on my bathing suit, you must not look at me until I get into the water.

我换好游泳衣之后，不许你看我，等我下水了你才能看哦。

Why not? asked Frog. Because I look funny in my bathing suit. That is why, said Toad. Frog closed his eyes when Toad came out from behind the rocks. Toad was wearing his bathing suit. Don't peek, he said. Frog and Toad jumped into the water. They swam all afternoon. Frog swam fast and made big splashes. Toad swam slowly and made smaller splashes.

青蛙问：“为什么不行呀？” 因为我穿游泳衣的样子看起来很滑稽呀。 蟾蜍说：“就是这个原因。” 蟾蜍从石头后面走出来的时候，青蛙闭上了眼睛。 蟾蜍已经穿上了他的游泳衣。 他说：“不许偷看哦。” 青蛙和蟾蜍“扑通”跳进了水里。 他们游了整整一下午。 青蛙游得很快，溅起好大的水花。 蟾蜍游得慢悠悠的，溅起的水花小小的。

A turtle came along the river bank. Frog, tell that turtle to go away, said Toad. I do not want him to see me in my bathing suit when I come out of the river. Frog swam over to the turtle. Turtle, said Frog. You will have to go away. Why should I? asked the turtle. Because Toad thinks that he looks funny in his bathing suit, and he does not want you to see him, said Frog.

一只乌龟沿着河岸爬了过来。 蟾蜍说：“青蛙，叫那只乌龟走开啦。” 我可不想我从河里出来的时候，他看见我穿游泳衣的样子。 青蛙游到了乌龟身边。 青蛙说：“乌龟呀。” 你得走开才行哦。 乌龟问：“我为什么要走开呀？” 因为蟾蜍觉得他穿游泳衣的样子很滑稽， 青蛙说：“他不想让你看见他哦。”

Some lizards were sitting nearby. Does Toad really look funny in his bathing suit? They asked. A snake crawled out of the grass. If Toad looks funny in his bathing suit, said the snake, then I, for one, want to see him. We want to see him too, said two dragonflies. To be continued...

几只蜥蜴正坐在旁边呢。 蟾蜍穿游泳衣的样子真的很滑稽吗？ 他们问道。 一条蛇从草丛里爬了出来。 蛇说：“要是蟾蜍穿游泳衣的样子很滑稽的话，” 那我可得好好看看他。 两只蜻蜓说：“我们也想看呀。” 未完待续...
