Peter could see the heavy fleece falling upon the canvas which was spread on the ground,
彼得看見厚厚的羊毛落在地上的帆布上，
while Elijah, Mr. Bunker's helper, was carrying wool off to a table to be tied up.
此時，邦克先生的助手以利亞正把羊毛拿到桌子上，準(zhǔn)備梱起來。
"There! He's finished that one!" cried Ben, as Mr. Bunker stood up and wiped his forehead.
邦克先生站起來擦了擦額頭，本喊道“邦克先生完成一只了”。
"My, that must be hot work!" exclaimed Joseph;
“天哪，剪羊毛肯定很熱!”約瑟夫大叫道。
"and there's Elijah letting out the next sheep. See, Peter, watch him throw her down!"
“以利亞放出了另一只，走，彼得，看邦克先生剪羊毛去”
Mr. Bunker leaned forward, caught the sheep by one hind leg and gave her a push so that she sat down like a begging dog.
邦克先生身體前傾，抓住羊的一條后腿，推了羊一下，羊就像一條乞討的狗一樣坐了下來，
The fleece was shorn from her stomach with a few quick clips of the shears.
肚子上的羊毛被剪了幾下。
The boys watched spellbound as Mr. Bunker threw her down, first on one side and then on the other, to shear her back and sides.
邦克先生把羊給撂倒了，剪完一邊之后剪另一邊，孩子們看得入迷了。
The frightened creature soon looked very strange and naked;
這只受驚的羊赤身裸體，看起來很奇怪;
then she was pushed through a gate into the lambs' field.
然后被推進(jìn)了小羊牧場里。
Out came the next sheep to be shorn, and then another and another.
然后是另一只羊等待被剪，一只接著一只。
"Well, I've seen as much of this as I want to," said Joseph, after a while. "Come on over and see what's going on at the big tent."
“嗯，我想看到的都看到了。”過了一會兒，約瑟夫說。“過來看看大帳篷里發(fā)生了什么事。”
"I'd better go to Uncle Samuel's tent now," said Peter.
“我得去塞繆爾叔叔的帳篷，”彼得說。
"It must be nearly dinner time."
“快到吃晚飯的時間了。”
After dinner Peter and the other children left the tent and went to watch the lambs and their mothers.
晚飯后，彼得和其他孩子離開帳篷，去看小羊和羊媽媽。
There was a great bleating and baa-ing, as one sheep after another was let out of the pen, looking very naked, and each finding her own lamb.
羊叫聲很大，當(dāng)一只又一只羊赤身裸體著被放出去的時候，每只羊都找到了自己的小羊。
