浣熊扭扭（下）_中英文

"年少不知愁滋味“， 我们家小妞三岁和四岁的时候换幼儿园，在和小朋友们说再见的时候总是傻兮兮的，一副拜拜就拜拜的模样。我想在她看来没有比吃更吸引人和难以让人忘怀的事儿了,小伙伴只是"路人甲“。在我看来这些平时跟她在一起傻乐的小伙伴们可能有些再也见不到了，他们或搬去其他的地方，或者搬回其他的国家... 最近，我发现她对离开只有两个月的小伙伴开始念念不忘了，甚至到嗷嗷直哭的地步。现在她特别能理解 “浣熊扭扭”那件伤心的事儿了。

Autumn

秋天

Soon the ducklingswere not little anymore. They were nearly as big as their mother. The days grewshorter. The wind blew colder. The ground in the park was covered in leaves.

很快，小鸭子们已经不再是刚出生的模样。他们的个头已经差不多像妈妈那么大了。白天慢慢变短了，风也越吹越冷。地上落满了树叶。

One morning, asWaddles waddled to the pond, he noticed the park was covered with a glimmeringcoat of frost. “ Good morning, Waddles.” Emily said. “ I’m afraid it It’s timefor us to fly south. This park will be no place for us when the winter comes.”

一天早上，当扭扭走去池塘的时候，他发现公园的地上铺了一层亮晶晶的霜。“早上好，扭扭。”Emily说。“我想我们该飞到南方去了，这个公园到冬天不适合我们再继续待下去了。

This was thesaddest news Waddles had ever heard. What would he do without Emily and thefive ducklings?

扭扭难以想象还有比听到这个消息更难过的事儿了。如果没有Emily 和五只小鸭子，扭扭不知道他自己该怎么办。

“Don’t be sad,Waddles,” Emily said, “ One day it will be spring again, and then we willreturn.”

“别难过，扭扭,”Emily 说，“总有一天春天会来的，那时候我们就会回来了。”

The ducklingcrowded around Waddles and hugged him good-bye. Then, with their mother leadingthe way, they went scooting arcoss the pond and rose into the sky. Even afterthey were gone from view, Waddles could still hear them quacking. Finally,their sounds faded, and he was alone.

小鸭子围着扭扭，跟他拥抱道别。然后，他们跟着妈妈，滑过池塘的水面飞向天空。直到他们的身影再也看不到，扭扭还是能听到他们的叫声。最后，连他们的叫声也消失了，只剩下扭扭孤单一人。

Winter

冬天

Winter had neverbothered Waddles before. His thick fur kept him warm, and the park was always sobeautiful in the snow. But it just wasn’t the same. There was no one to tellstories to. Or to ice skate on the pond with, Or to share snacks with. Or tocuddle next to for a nap.

冬天对扭扭来说从不难熬，他厚厚的毛让他暖暖的,公园里的景色也总是那么美。但是一切都跟以前不一样了。没有人可以听他讲故事了，没有人可以跟他在池塘上滑冰了，没有人可以一起分享零食了，也没有人可以一起搂着小睡了。

Waddles stilllooked through the trash cans for food, but he just wasn’t very hungry.

扭扭还是去垃圾箱里找吃的，可是他总是没什么胃口。

The cold daysslowly passed. Then, one day, Waddles discovered a little flower pushing upthrough the melting snow. Waddles heard a noise in the distance. It was thesound of duck quacking. Many ducks! Waddles raced to the pond—Just in time tosee Emily and the ducklings splash down!

寒冷的冬日一天天过去。然后一天，扭扭发现一朵小花从融化的积雪里钻出来了。

扭扭听到远处有一阵喧闹声，是鸭子在叫！很多鸭子！扭扭冲到池塘边, 恰好看到鸭子们刚刚降落在池塘上。

“

Waddles!” they allcried.” “We missed you!” The ducklings, who were nowgrown-up ducks, crowed around him and hugged him tight. Winter was finallyover. The duck had come home!

“扭扭~“他们喊道。”  “ 我们好想你啊！” 从前的小鸭子已经长成大鸭子了，他们围着扭扭，紧紧地抱着他。冬天终于过完了，鸭子们回家了。

The trees filledwith leaves and blossoms. The sun warmed the water in the pond. Spring hadreturned and brought Waddles’s best friends with it. Once again, snacks tastedsweet, and life in the park was as it should be. Waddles felt very full.

树上长满了茂密的树叶和花朵，太阳照得池塘里的水暖洋洋的。春天带着扭扭的好朋友们一起回来了。零食又一次变得香甜起来，公园里的生活又恢复了原来的样子。扭扭觉得非常满足。
