She peeped at her, this ugly toad.
"How beautiful the little maiden is," she croaked. "She will make a lovely bride for my handsome son." And she lifted the little cradle, with Thumbelina in it, and hopped out through the broken window-pane, down into the garden.
At the foot of the garden was a broad stream. Here, under the muddy banks lived the old toad with her son.
这只丑蛤蟆偷窥着她,
“呱呱,这姑娘真漂亮!正好做我那漂亮儿子的新娘!于是她抓起拇指姑娘正睡着的小摇篮,从破窗格子跳了出去,跳进了花园。
花园底下有一条宽宽的小溪,癞蛤蟆和她儿子就住在这泥泞的岸边。
How handsome she thought him! But he was really very ugly. Indeed, he was exactly like his mother.
When he saw little Thumbelina in her tiny cradle, he croaked with delight.
"Do not make so much noise," said his mother, "or you will wake the tiny creature. We may lose her if we are not careful. The slightest breeze would waft her far away. She is as light as gossamer."
癞蛤蟆觉得她儿子长的好看极了,但事实上他非常丑。他和他妈简直就是一个模子里铸出来的!
当他看见小床里的拇指姑娘时,兴奋的呱呱大叫起来。
“别吵!他妈说,“你会把这小可爱吵醒的!我们不小心点的话会让她跑掉的!微风都能把她吹走,她就像纱一样轻啊。
