Then the Badger said, 'Now then! Tell me the news from your part of the world. How's old Toad getting on?'
最后獾安慰道，現(xiàn)在好了！告訴我你們那邊的消息，老蛤蟆怎么樣啦？
'He's going from bad to worse, 'said the Rat sadly. 'He had another crash only last week, and a bad one. You see, he thinks he's a wonderful driver, the best in the world.
他的情況越來(lái)越糟糕了，水鼠難過(guò)地說(shuō)，上星期他又撞車了，很嚴(yán)重。你知道，他自己認(rèn)為他是駕車能手，是世界上最好的。
But he isn't. He's terrible! But he won't take lessons, he won't lis ten to anyone. '
但是他不是，他很差勁！但他不吸取教訓(xùn)，也聽(tīng)不進(jìn)別人的勸告。
'How many has he had?'the Badger asked.
他已有多少了？獾問(wèn)。
'Crashes, or motor-cars?'asked the Rat.
撞車，還是汽車？水鼠問(wèn)。
'Well, with Toad, it's the same thing.
不過(guò)，對(duì)于蛤蟆來(lái)說(shuō)是一樣的。
This is the seventh car, and the seventh crash.
這是第七輛車，也是第七次撞車。
His garage is full to the roof with bits of broken motor car! '
他的車庫(kù)里堆滿了撞壞的汽車殘骸！
'He's been in hospital twice, 'the Mole added.
他還住了兩次醫(yī)院，鼴鼠補(bǔ)充道。
'The police have arrested him for dangerous driving three or four times. And he's spending so much money! '
因?yàn)槲ｋU(xiǎn)駕車，他被警察抓過(guò)三四次，他正在花大把的錢呢！
'That's another problem, 'the Rat went on.
那是另一個(gè)問(wèn)題，水鼠接著說(shuō)。
'Toad's rich, we all know that; but his money won't last for ever.
癩蛤蟆很富，我們大家都知道；但他不可能永遠(yuǎn)有錢的。
Sooner or later, one of two things will happen.
遲早總有一件事要發(fā)生。
He'll kill himself in a crash, or he'll have no money left at all.
他要么被撞死在車禍中，要么一無(wú)所有。
Badger! We're his friends-can't we do something?'
獾！我們是他的朋友——難道我們不能為他做些什么？
The Badger thought for a while. 'You know, don't you, that I can't do anything now?'he said at last.
獾想了一會(huì)兒，最后說(shuō)，你知道的，難道你忘了，我現(xiàn)在什么也干不成嗎？
'No, no, of course not, 'the Rat and the Mole said together. Everybody knew that in the animal world the winter was a time for rest and sleep.
不，不，當(dāng)然不是現(xiàn)在，水鼠和鼴鼠齊聲說(shuō)。每個(gè)人都知道，在動(dòng)物世界里冬季是休息和睡眠的季節(jié)，
Nobody wanted to do anything important or tiring.
沒(méi)有誰(shuí)想干任何重要或吃力的事情。
關(guān)于《風(fēng)雨河岸柳》
在《柳林風(fēng)聲(彩繪注音版·超值版)》中，作者細(xì)細(xì)地描寫了季節(jié)的流轉(zhuǎn)、大自然的變化，以及動(dòng)物們生活中發(fā)生的點(diǎn)點(diǎn)滴滴，生動(dòng)地刻畫了縈繞在柳林中的那份深刻的友誼與溫情。
