夏洛的网 第52期:夏洛(10)(在线收听

   A fly that had been crawling along Wilbur's trough had flown up

  一只苍蝇本来在威尔伯的食物槽上爬,这会儿飞起来,
  and blundered into the lower part of Charlotte's web and was tangled in the sticky threads.
  撞到夏洛那个网的底下部分,给黏性的蜘蛛丝缠住了。
  The fly was beating its wings furiously, trying to break loose and free itself.
  苍蝇拼命扑打翅膀,想要挣脱逃走。
  "First," said Charlotte, "I dive at him."
  “首先,”夏洛说,“我向它潜下去。”
  She plunged headfirst toward the fly.
  它头在前向苍蝇扑下去。
  As she dropped, a tiny silken thread unwound from her rear end.
  它下来时,一根细丝从它后面吐出来。

  "Next, I wrap him up." She grabbed the fly, threw a few jets of silk around it,
  “接下来,我把它捆住,”它抓住苍蝇,吐出几根丝捆住它,
  and rolled it over and over, wrapping it so that it couldn't move.
  把它翻过来翻过去,捆得它动也不能动。
  Wilbur watched in horror. He could hardly believe what he was seeing,
  威尔伯惊恐地看着。它简直不能相信它所看到的事,
  and although he detested flies, he was sorry for this one.
  虽然它讨厌苍蝇,可为这一只感到难过。
  "There!" said Charlotte.
  “好了!”夏洛说,
  "Now I knock him out, so he'll be more comfortable."
  “现在我让它失去知觉,好叫它舒服些。”
  She bit the fly. "He can't feel a thing now," she remarked.
  它咬了苍蝇一口。“它现在什么感觉也没有了,”它说,
  "He'll make a perfect breakfast for me."
  “它可以当我的美味早餐了。”
