Arthur's Honey Bear

Arthur's Honey Bear by Lillian Hoban

《亚瑟的蜂蜜熊》 莉莲·霍本 著

It was spring cleaning day. Violet was cleaning out her toy chest. She made two piles of toys. One to keep and one to put away. Arthur was sticking stamps into his stamp album.

今天是大扫除的日子。维奥莱特正在清理她的玩具箱，把玩具分成了两堆。 一堆要留下，一堆要收走。亚瑟正在给他的集邮册贴邮票。

I am going to clean out my toy chest too, said Arthur. And I am going to have a tag sale. What is a tag sale? asked Violet. A tag sale is when you sell your old junk, said Arthur. I don't have any old junk, said Violet. I want to keep all of my toys.

“我也要去清理我的玩具箱。”亚瑟说。 我还要办一场旧货甩卖。 “什么是旧货甩卖呀？”维奥莱特问。 “旧货甩卖就是卖掉你不用的旧东西呀。”亚瑟说。 “我可没有不用的旧东西。”维奥莱特说。 我所有的玩具都想留着。

When I was little, said Arthur, I wanted to keep all of my toys too. But now I want to sell some of them. Arthur began to clean out his toy chest. He took a pile of toys to the back steps.

“我小的时候呀，”亚瑟说，“也想把所有玩具都留下。” 可现在我想卖掉一部分。 亚瑟开始清理他的玩具箱。 他把一堆玩具搬到了后面的台阶上。

Arthur took his hula hoop, his yo -yo, a pile of finger paintings, and his china horse. He took his Noah's Ark, his baby King Kong, his sandbox set, his old maid cards, and his rocks and marbles.

亚瑟拿了他的呼啦圈、悠悠球、一摞手指画，还有他的瓷小马。 他还拿了他的诺亚方舟玩具、小金刚玩偶、沙池套装、老处女纸牌，还有他收集的石头和弹珠。

Then he took out his honey bear. Father gave me honey bear when I had the chicken pox, said Arthur. Honey bear always tasted my medicine for me when I was sick. Arthur moved honey bear behind baby King Kong.

然后他拿出了他的蜂蜜熊。 “我出水痘的时候爸爸把蜂蜜熊送给我的。”亚瑟说。 我生病的时候，蜂蜜熊总是先帮我“尝”药。 亚瑟把蜂蜜熊挪到了小金刚玩偶的后面。
