夏洛的网第59期:夏日(2)（打印版）

　　Around the first of July, the work horses were hitched to the mowing machine,

　　七月初，那些耕马给拴到割草机上，

　　and Mr. Zuckerman climbed into the seat and drove into the field.

　　朱克曼先生坐到割草机的座位上面，把割草机拉到地里去。

　　All morning you could hear the rattle of the machine as it went round and round,

　　一个上午可以听到割草机绕过来绕过去的嘎嘎声，

　　while the tall grass fell down behind the cutter bar in long green swathes.

　　这时高高的草在割草机横档后面倒下来，排成绿色的长排。

　　Next day, if there was no thunder shower, all hands would help rake and pitch and load,

　　到第二天，如果没有雷阵雨，所有的人手都来帮忙耙啊，叉啊，装车啊，

　　and the hay would be hauled to the barn in the high hay wagon,

　　这些干草就被高高的干草车运到谷仓去，

　　with Fern and Avery riding at the top of the load.

　　弗恩和艾弗里高高地坐在干草顶上。

　　Then the hay would be hoisted, sweet and warm, into the big loft,

　　接下来，这些香喷喷热烘烘的干草给吊到那大阁楼上，

　　until the whole barn seemed like a wonderful bed of timothy and clover.

　　直到整个谷仓像是一张用猫尾草和红花草做的大草床。

　　It was fine to jump in, and perfect to hide in.

　　跳进去真痛快，躲在草里连人都找不到。

　　And sometimes Avery would find a little grass snake in the hay,

　　有时候艾弗里会在草里找到一条小草蛇，

　　and would add it to the other things in his pocket.

　　把它塞进衣袋，衣袋里杂七杂八的东西又多了一样。
