   WHAT MOTHER PARTRIDGE TAUGHT HER BABIES 鹧鸪妈妈教给孩子们的东西


  The sun was hot now, and there was an open place to cross on the way to the water. 现在太阳很烈,到水边需要穿过一片空地。
  So the mother spread out her tail like a fan, and gathered the little things in the shadow under it. 于是鹧鸪妈妈把尾巴展成扇子状,把孩子们聚到它的阴影下面。
  In this way, she kept off all danger of sunstroke until they reached the bushes by the stream. 这样,她能避开中暑的所有危险,直到到达溪边的灌木丛里。
  Here a cotton-tail rabbit leaped out and gave them a great scare. 这时,一只白尾灰兔跳了出来,吓了他们一大跳。
  But he was an old friend; 但他是个老朋友了。
  and one of the many things the little partridges learned that day 小鹧鸪们那天学到的许多东西中,
  was that Bunny always wants to live in peace with his neighbors. 有一件就是兔子总想和邻居和睦相处。
  And then came the drink, the purest of running water. 随后他们到了饮水的地方,也就是最纯净的活水那里。
  At first the little fellows didn't know how to drink, 起初,小家伙们不知道怎么喝水,
  but they watched their mother, and soon learned to drink as she did. 但他们看了妈妈的做法后,不久就学会像她一样喝水了。
  There they stood in a row along the edge of the brook 1, 他们排成一排站在小溪边,
  twelve little brown-and-golden balls on twenty-four little pink-toed feet, 就像12颗棕金色的小球长着24只带粉红脚尖的小脚,
  with twelve sweet little golden heads bowing and drinking. 12颗可爱的小金头一弯一弯地喝着水。
  Then Mother Partridge led her brood to the meadow. 然后,鹧鸪妈妈带着她的孩子们来到草地上。
