这本图画书里有一只像孩子的小兔子和一只像爸爸的大兔子。小兔子像所有的孩子一样爱比较。它们俩在比赛谁的爱更多一些。大兔子用智慧赢得了比赛和小兔子稍微少一点的爱,可小兔子用它的天真和想象赢得了大兔子多出一倍的爱。两只兔子都获胜了。
Little Nutbrown Hare,who was going to bed,held on tight to Big Nutbrown Hare's very long ears.
栗色的小兔子想要去睡觉了,它紧紧地抓住栗色的大兔子的长耳朵。
He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown Hare was listening."Guess how much I love you,"he said.
它要栗色的大兔子好好地听。它说:“猜猜我有多爱你?”
"Oh,I don't think I could guess that,"said Big Nutbrown Hare.
“噢,我大概猜不出来。”栗色的大兔子说。
"This much,"said Little Nutbrown Hare,stretching out his arms as wide as they could go.
“有这么多。”它伸开双臂,拼命往两边张。
Big Nutbrown Hare had even longer arms."But I love you this much,"he said.
栗色的大兔子的手臂更长,它说:“可是,我爱你有这么多。”
Hmm,that is a lot,thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
嗯,是很多,栗色的小兔子想。
"I love you as high as I can reach,"said Little Nutbrown Hare.
“我爱你,有我够到的那么高。” 栗色的小兔子举起胳膊说。
"I love you as high as I can reach,"said Big Nutbrown Hare.
“我爱你,也有我够到的那么高。”大兔子也举起胳膊说。
That is quite high,thought Little Nutbrown Hare.I wish I had arms like that.
这太高了,栗色的小兔子想,我真希望我也有那样的胳膊。
Then he lay down close by and whispered with a smile,"I love you right up to the moon-and back."
然后,它躺在小兔子的身边,小声地微笑着说:“我爱你,到月亮那么高,再——绕回来。”
