英国语文第二册(双语) 第3课:兔子
LESSON 3 The rabbits
第三课 兔子
There is George looking at the rabbits. Let us go and see them too.
乔治正在那里看兔子。我们也一起去吧。
"Oh, how pretty they are! Can they eat anything?"
“啊，多么可爱的兔子！它们什么都能吃吗？”
Yes, Lily. You may give them these green leaves.
是啊，莉莉。你可以给它们一些绿叶。
Now they see the leaves. Oh, how they are feasting! They seem very hungry.
兔子看到叶子了。看，它们吃得多开心！看来它们肚子很饿了。
Their little mouths go round and round the edges of the fresh green leaves, and soon they will eat them all up.
它们的小嘴巴在这些新鲜的绿叶边来来回回，很快就把叶子全吃掉了。
Wild rabbits go into holes which they make in the ground. There they are safe, and do not fear either dogs or cats; or even men, who would like to catch them.
野兔会跑进它们在地上挖的洞里面。它们在那里很安全，不用害怕猫和狗，也不用担心会被人们抓走。
In the evening, they come out of their holes to feed in the fields. They sit very close to the ground, amongst the grass, and you can hardly see the little gray things.
夜晚，兔子们会从洞里面走出来，去田野觅食。它们藏在绿叶之中，身体紧紧地贴着地面，一般人很难注意到这些灰色的小东西。
But if you clap your hands, they will all run off to their holes, and you may see lots of little white tails bobbing over the field.
但是，只要你一拍手掌，它们就会跑回自己的洞里面，这时你就能看到整个田野里有许许多多的白色小尾巴在摆动。
It is a pretty sight to see wild rabbits running over the fields.
野兔在田野里跑来跑去的场景是挺好看的。
On the hills near the sea-shore, where Lily lives, there are hundreds and hundreds of them.
莉莉住在海岸边的山坡上。那里有数百只兔子。
There is quite a large rabbit town there, with its streets and houses, all under the ground.
那里简直像是一个地下城市，有着自己的地下街道和房子。
Lily must go with me some day, and perhaps we shall see some of the little creatures that live in the rabbit town.
莉莉和我总有一天会离开，或许那时候我们能看到一些住在兔子城市的小兔子。
