The Rat looked around him.
水鼠看了看他的周圍，說：
I see that all the boats are out of the water, 'he said.
我發(fā)現(xiàn)所有的船都沒停在水里，
I suppose Toad has finished with boating now and has some new interest to amuse him. '
我猜蛤蟆現(xiàn)在不再玩船了，肯定又有什么新鮮有趣的東西吸引著他。
They walked over the grass towards the house and soon found Toad, resting in a garden-chair and carefully studying a large map.
他們穿過草坪向房子走去，很快便看見了癩蛤蟆，他正坐在花園椅里仔細地研究著地圖。
'Wonderful! 'he cried, as he saw them. 'You're just the fellow that I wanted to see, Ratty.
太棒了！癩蛤蟆一看到他們就叫了起來。我正想見你呢，阿鼠，
He jumped up and came towards them, talking all the time, and gave the Rat no time to introduce the Mole.
他跳了起來，向他們走去，嘴里說個不停，根本不給水鼠時間來介紹鼴鼠。
I need you very much-both of you. You've got to help me. It's most important! '
我非常需要你—你們倆。你們得幫我，這是最最重要的！
'It's about your rowing, I suppose, 'said the Rat, keeping his face very serious. 'You will learn to do it in the end, you know, if you're patient and work hard and----'
我想，是關于劃船吧，水鼠一本正經地說。你總算要學了，你知道吧，如果你耐心點，刻苦點，再—
'Oh, bother boats! 'the Toad said crossly. 'I've finished with boats. Silly way to pass the time.
噢，討厭的船！癩蛤蟆氣惱地說。我不再劃船了，簡直是打發(fā)日子的傻辦法。
No, I've discovered the real thing-the best way, the only way, to spend one's life.
是的，我已發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個真正的活法—最好的，唯一的活法。
Come with me, dear Ratty, and your kind friend too, and I will show you! '
跟我來，親愛的阿鼠，還有你好心的朋友，我要帶你們去看看！
He took them round to the other side of the house, and there they saw a shiny new gipsy caravan. It had yellow and green sides, and red wheels.
他帶他們繞到了房子的另一頭，那兒他們看見一輛锃亮嶄新的吉普賽大篷車，鑲滾著黃綠邊，輪子是紅色的。
'There you are! 'cried the Toad. 'There's real life for you. The open road, the fields, the hills…villages, towns, cities!
你們看！癩蛤蟆叫道，這才是屬于你們的真正的生活。寬敞的公路、原野、山巒……村莊、城鎮(zhèn)、都市！
Here today, off to a different place tomorrow!
今天在這兒，明天到另一個不同的地方！
Travel, change, interest-the world in front of you!
旅行、變幻、趣味——世界就在你的面前！
The Mole was very interested and excited, and followed the Toad inside the caravan to look around. But the Rat shook his head and waited outside.
鼴鼠覺得非常有趣，非常興奮，他跟著癩蛤蟆走進大篷車參觀，但水鼠搖著頭，在外面等著。
