Boy’s stocking, with a sprig of holly between his paws, the effect was charming.
男孩的长袜,爪子之间有一股胡萝卜,效果很迷人。
There were other things in the stocking, nuts and oranges and a toy engine, and chocolate almonds and a clockwork mouse, but the Rabbit was quite the best of all.
袜子里还有其他东西,坚果和橙子以及玩具引擎,巧克力杏仁和钟活鼠,但兔子相当出色.
For at least two hours the Boy loved him, and then aunts and uncles came to dinner, and there was a great rustling of tissue paper and unwrapping of parcels, and in the excitement of looking at all the new presents the Velveteen Rabbit was forgotten.
童子爱他至少两个小时,后来的姨妈和叔叔们来吃晚饭,组织纸被生锈而包裹被取出,在看出所有新礼物的兴奋中"天鹅绒兔"被遗忘了.
For a long time he lived in the toy cupboard or on the nursery floor, and no one thought very much about him.
长久以来,他一直住在玩具柜子上或托儿所地上,没有人非常想他.
He was naturally shy, and being only made of velveteen, some of the more expensive toys quite snubbed him.
他天生害羞,只用花绒做成,有些更贵的玩具相当的优雅地抚摸他.
The mechanical toys were very superior, and looked down upon everyone else; they were full of modern ideas, and pretended they were real.
机械玩具非常优越,并且俯视着其他人;它们充满了现代思想,并假装它们是真的.
The model boat, who had lived through two seasons and lost most of his paint, caught the tone from them and never missed an opportunity of referring to his rigging in technical terms.
曾活过两季并失去大部分颜料的"模范"船,抓住了他们的语气,从未错过过在技术术语上提及他操纵的机会.
The Rabbit could not claim to be a model of anything, for he didn’t know that real rabbits existed; he thought they were all stuffed with sawdust like himself, and he understood that sawdust was quite out-of-date and should never be mentioned in modern circles.
兔子不能自称是任何事物的典范,因为他不知道真正的兔子是存在的;他认为它们都像自己一样被锯屑所填塞;他明白锯屑已经相当过时,不应该在现代圈子里被提及.
Even Timothy, the jointed wooden lion, who was made by the disabled soldiers, and should have had broader views, put on airs and pretended he was connected with Government.
连由残兵所出产并应该有更广阔观点的关节木狮蒂莫西也装作与政府有联系.
Between them all the poor little Rabbit was made to feel himself very insignificant and commonplace, and the only person who was kind to him at all was the Skin Horse.
在他们中间,所有可怜的小兔子 都觉得自己非常微不足道和平凡 唯一对他好的人就是皮马
The Skin Horse had lived longer in the nursery than any of the others.
皮子马在苗圃里活的时间比其他人都长。
He was so old that his brown coat was bald in patches and showed the seams underneath, and most of the hairs in his tail had been pulled out to string bead necklaces.
他年事已高 他的棕色外衣是秃发相接的 并展示了下方的缝合物 尾巴上的大部分毛被拔出 用来串珠项链
He was wise, for he had seen a long succession of mechanical toys arrive to boast and swagger, and by-and-by break their mainsprings and pass away, and he knew that they were only toys, and would never turn into anything else.
他很聪明,因为他看到一连串的机械玩具来自夸和花花公子,并随即打破了它们的主泉而逝去,他知道它们只是玩具,永远不会变成其他的东西.
For nursery magic is very strange and wonderful, and only those playthings that are old and wise and experienced like the Skin Horse understand all about it.
因为苗圃魔法非常奇特而奇妙,只有那些古老而睿智并像"皮马"那样有经验的玩物才能理解这一切.
“What is real?”
“什么是真实的? “
asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room.
有一天,当他们躺在婴儿房的护栏旁时, 在娜娜来收拾房间之前,
“Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?”
“这是否意味着有东西在你体内会响起? “
“Real isn’t how you are made,” said the Skin Horse.
Skin Horse说,
“It’s a thing that happens to you.
“这是发生在你身上的事情。
When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but really loves you, then you become Real.”
当一个孩子爱你很长很长一段时间, 不只是玩耍,
“Does it hurt?”
“是否痛? “
asked the Rabbit.
问兔.
“Sometimes,” said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful.
皮子马说:“有时,”因为他总是诚实的。
“When you are Real you don’t mind being hurt.”
“当你是真实的, “
“Does it happen all at once, like being wound up,” he asked, “or bit by bit?”
他问道,“是否一次又一次发生,就像结束一样?” “
“It doesn’t happen all at once,” said the Skin Horse.
皮马说,
“You become.
“你成为。
It takes a long time.
需要很长时间
That’s why it doesn’t happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept.
所以那些容易崩溃、有尖锐优势或必须小心保管的人,
Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby.
一般来说,当你是Real的时候, 你的发型大部分都被爱掉, 你的眼睛掉出,你得到松动的关节和很薄。
But these things don’t matter at all, because once you are Real you can’t be ugly, except to people who don’t understand.”
但这些东西根本不重要,因为一旦你成了 除了不理解的人之外, “
“I suppose you are Real?”
“我想你是真实的? “
said the Rabbit.
说兔子。
And then he wished he had not said it, for he thought the Skin Horse might be sensitive.
然后他希望自己没有说出来,因为他认为"瘦马"可能很敏感.
But the Skin Horse only smiled.
但"瘦马"只取笑.
“The Boy’s uncle made me Real,” he said.
他说,“男孩的叔叔把我变成真实的。”
“That was a great many years ago; but once you are Real you can’t become unreal again.
“这是很多年前的事了;但一旦你成为真实,你就不能再次变成不真实。
It lasts for always.”
永相续相. “
The Rabbit sighed.
兔鸣.
He thought it would be a long time before this magic called Real happened to him.
他以为这个叫"真实"的魔力在他身上发生要很久.
He longed to become Real, to know what it felt like; and yet the idea of growing shabby and losing his eyes and whiskers was rather sad.
他渴望成为Real,知道它是什么感觉;然而,逐渐变差并失去眼睛和胡子的想法却相当悲哀.
He wished that he could become it without these uncomfortable things happening to him.
他希望他能够成为它 不发生这些不舒服的事情。
There was a person called Nana who ruled the nursery.
有个叫娜娜的人统治着托儿所
Sometimes she took no notice of the playthings lying about, and sometimes, for no reason whatever, she went swooping about like a great wind and hustled them away in cupboards.
有时她根本没注意到那些谎话, 有时,毫无理由地,她像大风一样冲来冲去,在橱柜里把他们拉走。
She called this “tidying up,” and the playthings all hated it, especially the tin ones.
她称这为"疲惫"(tidy up),
The Rabbit didn’t mind it so much, for wherever he was thrown he came down soft.
因为不管他被扔到哪里,
One evening, when the Boy was going to bed, he couldn’t find the china dog that always slept with him.
有一天晚上,当男孩睡觉时,他找不到总是和他上床的瓷狗。
Nana was in a hurry, and it was too much trouble to hunt for china dogs at bedtime, so she simply looked about her, and seeing that the toy cupboard door stood open, she made a swoop.
娜娜急着赶来,在入睡时找瓷狗太麻烦了,于是她只顾着自己,看到玩具柜子的门一直开着,便弄出一回出出来.
“Here,” she said, “take your old Bunny!
她说:“这里,”“拿起你的老兔子!”
He’ll do to sleep with you!”
他会跟你上床的! “
And she dragged the Rabbit out by one ear, and put him into the Boy’s arms.
她把兔子拉出一只耳朵,把他放入男孩的怀中。
That night, and for many nights after, the Velveteen Rabbit slept in the Boy’s bed.
当晚,许多晚上,天鹅绒兔睡在男孩的床上。
At first he found it rather uncomfortable, for the Boy hugged him very tight, and sometimes he rolled over on him, and sometimes he pushed him so far under the pillow that the Rabbit could scarcely breathe.
起初他觉得这相当不舒服,因为"男孩"拥抱他非常紧凑,有时他翻过他,有时他把他推到枕头下到现在,兔子几乎无法呼吸.
And he missed, too, those long moonlight hours in the nursery, when all the house was silent, and his talks with the Skin Horse.
他也错过了那些长的月光 在苗圃里, 当所有的房子是沉默的, 和他说话的皮肤马。
But very soon he grew to like it, for the Boy used to talk to him, and made nice tunnels for him under the bedclothes that he said were like the burrows the real rabbits lived in.
但很快他就变得喜欢了, 因为男孩曾经和他说话, 并且为他做了良好的地道 在被子下面,他说就像真正的兔子们所居住的地窖。
And they had splendid games together, in whispers, when Nana had gone away to her supper and left the night-light burning on the mantelpiece.
他们一起玩了精彩的游戏 悄悄地说着 娜娜去吃晚饭了 把夜光烧在壁炉上
And when the Boy dropped off to sleep, the Rabbit would snuggle down close under his little warm chin and dream, with the Boy’s hands clasped close round him all night long.
而当"男孩"下车入睡时,"兔子"会在他小小的温暖下巴和梦中紧紧地相拥而下,"男孩"的双手紧紧地围住他一整晚.
And so time went on, and the little Rabbit was very happy—so happy that he never noticed how his beautiful velveteen fur was getting shabbier and shabbier, and his tail becoming unsewn, and all the pink rubbed off his nose where the Boy had kissed him.
于是时间接踵而至,小兔子非常快乐——他从没有注意到他美丽的花绒皮毛是如何得到沙比耶和沙比耶的,他的尾巴变得不缝,所有的粉红色都从男孩亲吻他的地方从鼻子上擦出.
Spring came, and they had long days in the garden, for wherever the Boy went the Rabbit went too.
春天来临,他们在花园里度过了漫长的日子, 因为无论男孩去了哪里,兔子也去了。
He had rides in the wheelbarrow, and picnics on the grass, and lovely fairy huts built for him under the raspberry canes behind the flower border.
他骑着推车, 在草地上野餐, 和可爱的仙人小屋为他建造 在花边后面的树莓手杖下。
And once, when the Boy was called away suddenly to go out to tea, the Rabbit was left out on the lawn until long after dusk, and Nana had to come and look for him with the candle because the Boy couldn’t go to sleep unless he was there.
有一次,当男孩被叫出门去喝茶时,兔子被留在草坪上直到黄昏后很久,而娜娜不得不带着蜡烛来找他,因为男孩除非在场否则无法入睡.
He was wet through with the dew and quite earthy from diving into the burrows the Boy had made for him in the flower bed, and Nana grumbled as she rubbed him off with a corner of her apron.
他湿透了露水 从潜水到男孩在花地上为他做的地洞里 娜娜用她围裙的一角擦去他
“You must have your old Bunny!”
"你必须拥有你的老兔子!"
she said.
她说。
“Fancy all that fuss for a toy!”
玩玩具吧!
The Boy sat up in bed and stretched out his hands.
男孩坐在床上伸出手来。
“Give me my Bunny!”
“给我我的兔子!”
he said.
他说。
“You mustn’t say that.
" 你不能这样说。
He isn’t a toy.
他不是玩具,
He’s real!”
他是真实的!
When the little Rabbit heard that he was happy, for he knew that what the Skin Horse had said was true at last.
当小兔听说他很快乐的时候,因为他知道"皮马"所说的话终于是真的了.
The nursery magic had happened to him, and he was a toy no longer.
幼稚的魔法发生在他身上 他不再是玩具了
He was Real.
他是真实的。
The Boy himself had said it.
男孩自己说的
That night he was almost too happy to sleep, and so much love stirred in his little sawdust heart that it almost burst.
那天晚上,他几乎太高兴 睡觉, 这么多的爱 触发了他的小 锯灰心脏, 它几乎破裂。
And into his boot-button eyes, that had long ago lost their polish, there came a look of wisdom and beauty, so that even Nana noticed it next morning when she picked him up, and said, “I declare if that old Bunny hasn’t got quite a knowing expression!”
连娜娜也在第二天早上接走他时注意到, 并说 : “ 我声明, 如果那个老兔子还没有一个相当明了的表达,
That was a wonderful summer!
这是一个美妙的夏天!
Near the house where they lived there was a wood, and in the long June evenings the Boy liked to go there after tea to play.
在他们所住的房子附近有木头,在漫长的六月晚上,男孩喜欢喝茶后去那儿玩.
He took the Velveteen Rabbit with him, and before he wandered off to pick flowers, or play at brigands among the trees, he always made the Rabbit a little nest somewhere among the bracken, where he would be quite cozy, for he was a kind-hearted little boy and he liked Bunny to be comfortable.
他带着天鹅绒兔子走去取花,或在树上放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放放
One evening, while the Rabbit was lying there alone, watching the ants that ran to and fro between his velvet paws in the grass, he saw two strange beings creep out of the tall bracken near him.
一天晚上,兔子独自躺在地上,看着在草地上花绒爪之间跑来跑去和飞去的蚂蚁们,他看见两个怪兽从他附近的高高的刹车爬出.
They were rabbits like himself, but quite furry and brand-new.
他们像自己一样是兔子 但毛茸茸的和全新的
They must have been very well made, for their seams didn’t show at all, and they changed shape in a queer way when they moved.
因为他们的接缝完全没有显示,
One minute they were long and thin and the next minute fat and bunchy, instead of always staying the same like he did.
一分钟他们又长又瘦, 一分钟又肥又胖,而不是总是像他一样。
Their feet padded softly on the ground, and they crept quite close to him, twitching their noses, while the Rabbit stared hard to see which side the clockwork stuck out, for he knew that people who jump generally have something to wind them up.
他们的脚轻轻地扑到地上,他们与他相当相近地扭动了鼻子,而兔子却紧紧地盯着看钟表的哪一边,因为他知道,跳跃的人一般都有东西可以把他们打倒.
But he couldn’t see it.
但他却看不到。
They were evidently a new kind of rabbit altogether.
他们显然是一只全新的兔子
They stared at him, and the little Rabbit stared back.
他们盯着他看,小兔子又盯着他看
And all the time their noses twitched.
和所有的时间 他们的鼻子抽搐。
“Why don’t you get up and play with us?”
“为什么不起来和我们一起玩呢? “
one of them asked.
他们中的一个问。
“I don’t feel like it,” said the Rabbit, for he didn’t want to explain that he had no clockwork.
兔子说:「我不喜欢,
“Ho!”
"Ho!" (英语).
said the furry rabbit.
说毛毛兔.
“It’s as easy as anything.”
" 这和任何事情一样简单。 “
And he gave a big hop sideways and stood on his hind legs.
他跳了个大后腿
“I don’t believe you can!”
“我不相信你能做到!”
he said.
他说。
“I can!”
“我可以!”
said the little Rabbit.
说小兔.
“I can jump higher than anything!”
“我可以跳得比什么都高! “
He meant when the Boy threw him, but of course he didn’t want to say so.
但当然他不想这么说。
“Can you hop on your hind legs?”
“你可以跳上后腿吗? “
asked the furry rabbit.
问毛兔.
That was a dreadful question, for the Velveteen Rabbit had no hind legs at all!
这是一个可怕的问题, 因为天鹅绒兔 根本没有后腿!
The back of him was made all in one piece, like a pincushion.
他的后背被整齐地制成一整块,像针状花纹.
He sat still in the bracken, and hoped that the other rabbits wouldn’t notice.
也希望其他兔子不会注意到。
“I don’t want to!”
“我不想!”
he said again.
他说了一遍
But wild rabbits have very sharp eyes.

and dance, till the little Rabbit got quite dizzy.
跳舞,直到小兔子头晕
“I don’t like dancing,” he said.
“我不喜欢跳舞,”
“I’ d rather sit still!”
" 我宁愿静静地坐着! "
But all the while he was longing to dance, for a funny new tickly feeling ran through him, and he felt he would give anything in the world to be able to jump about like these rabbits did.
但是他一直渴望跳舞, 因为一种有趣的新感觉 滴答地跑过他, 他觉得他会给 世界上任何事情,可以跳动 像这些兔子一样。
The strange rabbit stopped dancing, and came quite close.
这只奇怪的兔子停止了舞蹈, 并非常接近。
He came so close this time that his long whiskers brushed the Velveteen Rabbit’s ear, and then he wrinkled his nose suddenly and flattened his ears and jumped backwards.
这一次他走得那么近,长的胡须把天鹅绒兔的耳朵刷了一脸,然后他突然皱了鼻子并平平了耳朵并倒地跳了下来.
“He doesn’t smell right!”
「他闻起来不对!
he exclaimed.
他赞美。

said the little Rabbit.

"男孩说!"
And he nearly began to cry.
他几乎开始哭。
Just then there was a sound of footsteps, and the Boy ran past near them, and with a stamp of feet and a flash of white tails the two strange rabbits disappeared.
就在这时有脚步之声,"男孩"从他们附近跑过,并用一记脚印和一闪一闪的白色尾巴使两只奇怪的兔子消失了.
“Come back and play with me!”
“回来和我玩吧! “
called the little Rabbit.
叫小兔子来着
“Oh, do come back!
“哦,回来吧!
I know I am Real!”
我知道我是真实的!”
But there was no answer, only the little ants ran to and fro, and the bracken swayed gently where the two strangers had passed.
但是没有答案,只有小蚂蚁跑来跑去并飞来跑去,吹口哨的人轻轻地摇动了两个陌生人经过的地方.
The Velveteen Rabbit was all alone.
天鹅绒兔是独自一人。
“Oh, dear!”
亲爱的!
he thought.
他认为。
“Why did they run away like that?
“为什么他们这样跑掉?
Why couldn’t they stop and talk to me?”
他们为什么不停下来和我谈谈? “
For a long time he lay very still, watching the bracken, and hoping that they would come back.
久而久之,他静静地躺在地上,看着被震动了,希望他们能回来.
But they never returned, and presently the sun sank lower and the little white moths fluttered out, and the Boy came and carried him home.
但他们再也没有回来,现在太阳下沉了, 小白蛾飞出, 男孩来了,带他回家。
Weeks passed, and the little Rabbit grew very old and shabby, but the Boy loved him just as much.
几星期后,小兔子又变老又衰弱,但男孩同样爱他.
He loved him so hard that he loved all his whiskers off, and the pink lining to his ears turned grey, and his brown spots faded.
他非常的爱他,以至于他爱他所有的胡须都脱了,而他耳朵上粉红色的衬里也变了灰色,而他的棕色斑点也逐渐淡出.
He even began to lose his shape, and he scarcely looked like a rabbit anymore, except to the Boy.
他甚至开始失去外形,除了"男孩",他几乎不再像兔子了.
To him he was always beautiful, and that was all that the little Rabbit cared about.
对他来说,他永远是美丽的, 这就是小兔子关心的。
He didn’t mind how he looked to other people, because the nursery magic had made him Real, and when you are Real shabbiness doesn’t matter.
他不介意他如何看待其他人, 因为婴儿的魔法使他成为真实的,
And then, one day, the Boy was ill.
然后,有一天,男孩生病了。
His face grew very flushed, and he talked in his sleep, and his little body was so hot that it burned the Rabbit when he held him close.
他的脸变得非常冲出,他在睡眠中说话,他的小身体好热,被他紧紧地抱住后被它烧了.
Strange people came and went in the nursery, and a light burned all night and through it all the little Velveteen Rabbit lay there, hidden from sight under the bedclothes, and he never stirred, for he was afraid that if they found him someone might take him away, and he knew that the Boy needed him.
奇怪的人来去在苗圃里,一盏灯烧了一整夜,穿过它,所有小天鹅绒兔都躺在那,被藏在被褥下看不见,他从不煽动,因为他害怕如果找到他,有人会把他带走,他知道男孩需要他.
It was a long weary time, for the Boy was too ill to play, and the little Rabbit found it rather dull with nothing to do all day long.
这是一个很长的厌倦时间, 因为男孩太病了 玩, 小兔子发现它相当闷 与没有做一整天。
But he snuggled down patiently, and looked forward to the time when the Boy should be well again, and they would go out in the garden amongst the flowers and the butterflies and play splendid games in the raspberry thicket like they used to.
但他耐心地抚摸了下来,并期待着男孩再次康复的时光,他们会去花园里花朵和蝴蝶之间,像以前一样在树莓花丛中玩出精彩的游戏.
All sorts of delightful things he planned, and while the Boy lay half asleep he crept up close to the pillow and whispered them in his ear.
他策划了各种令人愉快的事情, 当男孩睡了半个觉的时候,他爬到枕头附近,在耳边低语。
And presently the fever turned, and the Boy got better.
目前发烧,男孩病情好转。
He was able to sit up in bed and look at picture-books, while the little Rabbit cuddled close at his side.
他能够坐在床上看相册,而小兔子紧紧抱住他身边.
And one day, they let him get up and dress.
有一天,他们让他起来穿衣服
It was a bright, sunny morning, and the windows stood wide open.
那是个阳光灿烂的早晨 窗户一直开着
They had carried the Boy out onto the balcony, wrapped in a shawl, and the little Rabbit lay tangled up among the bedclothes, thinking.
他们把男孩带到阳台上,用披肩包裹,小兔子被缠在被子上,在想着。
The Boy was going to the seaside tomorrow.
那男孩明天要去海边
Everything was arranged, and now it only remained to carry out the doctor’s orders.
所有事情都是安排好的,现在只能执行医生的命令。
They talked about it all, while the little Rabbit lay under the bedclothes, with just his head peeping out, and listened.
他们谈论这一切, 而小兔子躺在被子下, 仅他的头窥出,并听了。
The room was to be disinfected, and all the books and toys that the Boy had played with in bed must be burnt.
房间要消毒 男孩在床上玩的书和玩具必须被烧了
“Hurrah!”
" 呼拉! "
thought the little Rabbit.
以为小兔子。
“Tomorrow we shall go to the seaside!”
"明天我们将去海边!"
For the boy had often talked of the seaside, and he wanted very much to see the big waves coming in, and the tiny crabs, and the sand castles.
因为男孩经常谈论海边,他非常想看到大浪的来来来来来来来去去去去,小螃蟹来来去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去去
Just then Nana caught sight of him.
刚才奶奶看到他了
“How about his old Bunny?”
“他的老兔子怎么样? “
she asked.
她问。
“That?”
“那个? “
said the doctor.
医生说。
“Why, it’s a mass of scarlet fever germs!
「为什么,
—Burn it at once.
-马上烧了它
What?
什么？
Nonsense!
胡说!
Get him a new one.
给他换个新的
He mustn’t have that anymore!”
他不能再这样了。
And so the little Rabbit was put into a sack with the old picture-books and a lot of rubbish, and carried out to the end of the garden behind the fowl-house.
于是小兔被放入了麻袋中,被放入了旧相册和大量垃圾中,被放入了花鸟屋后花园的尽头.
That was a fine place to make a bonfire, only the gardener was too busy just then to attend to it.
那地方很适合做篝火 只有园丁忙得要命才去
He had the potatoes to dig and the green peas to gather, but next morning he promised to come quite early and burn the whole lot.
他有土豆要挖,有绿豌豆要收起,但第二天早上他答应很早就来烧了整批.
That night the Boy slept in a different bedroom, and he had a new bunny to sleep with him.
当晚"男孩"睡了另一个卧室,他有了一只新兔子去和他睡觉.
It was a splendid bunny, all white plush with real glass eyes, but the Boy was too excited to care very much about it.
这是一只非常漂亮的兔子, 白色的花花公子和真正的玻璃眼睛, 但男孩太兴奋了,非常关心它。
For tomorrow he was going to the seaside, and that in itself was such a wonderful thing that he could think of nothing else.
明天他要去海边 这本身就是一件美妙的事 他什么都想不出来
And while the Boy was asleep, dreaming of the seaside, the little Rabbit lay among the old picture-books in the corner behind the fowl-house, and he felt very lonely.
而"童子"正在入睡时,梦到海边,小兔子倒在了鸟屋后角的老相册中,他感到非常孤独.
The sack had been left untied, and so by wriggling a bit he was able to get his head through the opening and look out.
袋子被松绑了, 所以通过摇晃一下, 他能够把他的头 通过开口和注意。
He was shivering a little, for he had always been used to sleeping in a proper bed, and by this time his coat had worn so thin and threadbare from hugging that it was no longer any protection to him.
他有点颤抖,因为他一直习惯在正宗的床上睡觉,此时他的外衣已经穿得如此细而细,从拥抱到不再对他有任何保护.
Nearby, he could see the thicket of raspberry canes, growing tall and close like a tropical jungle, in whose shadow he had played with the Boy on bygone mornings.
在附近,他可以看到一股厚厚的树莓手杖,像热带丛林一样高高而相近地生长出,他与"男孩"一起玩过一早的影子.
He thought of those long sunlit hours in the garden—how happy they were—and a great sadness came over him.
他猜想,在乐园里,那些日出的时间是怎样的,他们是怎样的幸福的。于是,大悲降临在他身上。
He seemed to see them all pass before him, each more beautiful than the other, the fairy huts in the flower bed, the quiet evenings in the wood when he lay in the bracken and the little ants ran over his paws; the wonderful day when he first knew that he was Real.
他似乎看到他们都经过他面前,每一个都比他更美丽,花床上有仙人小屋,他躺在刹车里时在木上静静的夜晚和小蚂蚁跑过他的爪子;他第一次知道他是真实的美好的一天.
He thought of the Skin Horse, so wise and gentle, and all that he had told him.
他想出"瘦马"来,如此睿智温柔地,以及他告诉他的一切.
Of what use was it to be loved and lose one’s beauty and become Real if it all ended like this?
如果这一切如此结束,那么被爱、失去美和成为真实有什么用呢?
And a tear, a real tear, trickled down his little shabby velvet nose and fell to the ground.
和一滴眼泪,一滴真正的眼泪,从他那微薄的绒毛鼻子上滴入了地上.
And then a strange thing happened.
然后发生了一件奇怪的事情。
For where the tear had fallen a flower grew out of the ground, a mysterious flower, not at all like any that grew in the garden.
因为眼泪从地上掉下来的一朵花 是一朵神秘的花 一点也不像花园里生长的花
It had slender green leaves the colour of emeralds, and in the centre of the leaves a blossom like a golden cup.
它有细花绿的叶子 绿宝石的颜色, 在叶子的中央 开花像一朵金杯。
It was so beautiful that the little Rabbit forgot to cry, and just lay there watching it.
它是如此美丽,小兔子忘记了哭, 只是躺在那里看着它。
And presently the blossom opened, and out of it there stepped a fairy.
目前,花开, 在那里踩出一个仙子。
She was quite the loveliest fairy in the whole world.
她是世界上最可爱的仙子
Her dress was of pearl and dew-drops, and there were flowers round her neck and in her hair, and her face was like the most perfect flower of all.
她的裙子是珍珠花和露珠花,有花环绕她脖子和发型,而她的脸也像最完美的花.
And she came close to the little Rabbit and gathered him up in her arms and kissed him on his velveteen nose that was all damp from crying.
她靠近小兔子,将他抱入怀中并亲吻了被哭得湿透了的天鹅绒鼻子.
“Little Rabbit,” she said, “don’t you know who I am?”
“小兔子,”她说,“你不知道我是谁吗? “
The Rabbit looked up at her, and it seemed to him that he had seen her face before, but he couldn’t think where.
兔子抬头看着她,
“I am the nursery magic Fairy,” she said.
她说,“我是婴儿魔法仙子”。
“I take care of all the playthings that the children have loved.
“我照顾孩子们所爱的一切。
When they are old and worn out and the children don’t need them anymore, then I come and take them away with me and turn them into Real.”

“Wasn’t I Real before?”
“我以前不是真实的吗? “
asked the little Rabbit.

“You were Real to the Boy,” the Fairy said, “because he loved you.
仙女说:“你对男孩是真实的。”
Now you shall be Real to everyone.”

And she held the little Rabbit close in her arms and flew with him into the wood.
她把小兔子抱在怀里 和他一起飞入了木头
It was light now, for the moon had risen.
月亮已经升起,现在已经很轻了
All the forest was beautiful, and the fronds of the bracken shone like frosted silver.
所出林地相去相好相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相去相相去相去相去相相相去相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相相
In the open glade between the tree trunks the wild rabbits danced with their shadows on the velvet grass, but when they saw the Fairy they all stopped dancing and stood round in a ring to stare at her.
在树干之间的露天角斗篷中,野兔们用自己在花绒草上所生的影子来跳舞,但当他们看到仙子时,他们都停止了舞蹈并围着一圈站来盯着她.
“I’ve brought you a new playfellow,” the Fairy said.
仙女说:“我给你带来了一个新的戏法,”
“You must be very kind to him and teach him all he needs to know in Rabbit-land, for he is going to live with you for ever and ever!”
“你一定要对他很好,教他所有他在兔子地上需要了解的东西,因为他要永远和你们一起生活!”
And she kissed the little Rabbit again and put him down on the grass.
她又吻了小兔子,把他放入草地上.
“Run and play, little Rabbit!”
"跑去玩吧,小兔子!"
she said.
她说。
But the little Rabbit sat quite still for a moment and never moved.
但小兔子静静地坐了一会儿 却一动不动
For when he saw all the wild rabbits dancing around him he suddenly remembered about his hind legs, and he didn’t want them to see that he was made all in one piece.
他忽然想起后腿, 不想让他们看见自己是一块地被造出来的。
He did not know that when the Fairy kissed him that last time she had changed him altogether.
他不知道当仙女吻了他 上次她完全改变了他。
And he might have sat there a long time, too shy to move, if just then something hadn’t tickled his nose, and before he thought what he was doing he lifted his hind toe to scratch it.
他可能坐在那里很长一段时间,太害羞,不敢动,如果有什么东西没有挠他的鼻子,在他想到自己在做什么之前,他举起后脚趾来抓它。
And he found that he actually had hind legs!
他发现他有后腿!
Instead of dingy velveteen he had brown fur, soft and shiny, his ears twitched by themselves, and his whiskers were so long that they brushed the grass.
他的耳朵被自己抽搐了 他的胡子长得长到能刷草地
He gave one leap and the joy of using those hind legs was so great that he went springing about the turf on them, jumping sideways and whirling round as the others did, and he grew so excited that when at last he did stop to look for the Fairy she had gone.
他跳了个跳跃,使用后腿的乐趣是如此之大,以至于他像其他人一样跳出地盘,跳出侧道并转来转去,他变得非常兴奋,直到最后他停止寻找仙子,她已经走了.
He was a Real Rabbit at last, at home with the other rabbits.
他终于当了真正的兔子 和其他兔子一起在家
Autumn passed and winter, and in the spring, when the days grew warm and sunny, the Boy went out to play in the wood behind the house.
相传秋出而冬出;相传春出而后出,一出而日出而日出而日出,童子出而出而出于后所出之木.
And while he was playing, two rabbits crept out from the bracken and peeped at him.
在他玩耍的时候,两只兔子从刹车里爬出并偷窥他.
One of them was brown all over, but the other had strange markings under his fur, as though long ago he had been spotted, and the spots still showed through.
其中一个是棕色的,但是另一个在他的皮毛下有奇怪的标记,仿佛很久以前就已经发现了他,而斑点仍然显现出来.
And about his little soft nose and his round black eyes there was something familiar, so that the Boy thought to himself: “Why, he looks just like my old Bunny that was lost when I had scarlet fever!”
关于他那柔软的鼻子和圆黑的眼睛 有一些熟悉的东西, 所以男孩自己想: “为什么,他看起来就像我的老兔子一样,
But he never knew that it really was his own Bunny, come back to look at the child who had first helped him to be Real.
但是他从不知道这真的是他自己的兔子,回来看看最初帮助他成为Real的孩子.
