夏洛的网 第153期:多里安医生(7)
英语课
"Do you understand how there could be any writing in a spider's web?" “明白蜘蛛网上怎么会有字。”
"Oh, no," said Dr. Dorian. "I don't understand it. “噢，不，”多里安医生说，“我不明白。
But for that matter I don't understand how a spider learned to spin a web in the first place. 可说到这件事，我首先就不明白，蜘蛛是怎么学会结网的。
When the words appeared, everyone said they were a miracle. 那些字的出现，大家说是奇迹。
But nobody pointed 1 out that the web itself is a miracle." 不过没有人指出，蜘蛛网本身就是一个奇迹。”
"What's miraculous 2 about a spider's web?" said Mrs. Arable 3. “蜘蛛网有什么奇迹呢？”阿拉布尔太太说，
"I don't see why you say a web is a miracle - it's just a web." “我不明白你为什么说蜘蛛网是个奇迹——就是一张蜘蛛网罢了。”
"Ever try to spin one?" asked Dr. Dorian. “你试过结网吗？”多里安医生问道。
Mrs. Arable shifted uneasily in her chair. 阿拉布尔太太在她的椅子上不自在地动着身子。
"No," she replied. “没有，”她回答说，
"But I can crochet 4 a doily and I can knit a sock." “不过我会编织小餐巾，也会编织短袜子。”
