II THE OPEN ROAD 第二章：大路 ‘Ratty,’ said the Mole suddenly, one bright summer morning, ‘if you please, I want to ask you a favour.’ 一个阳光明媚的夏日早晨，鼹鼠忽对河鼠说：“鼠兄，我想求你帮个忙。” The Rat was sitting on the river bank, singing a little song. He had just composed it himself, so he was very taken up with it, and would not pay proper attention to Mole or anything else. Since early morning he had been swimming in the river, in company with his friends the ducks. And when the ducks stood on their heads suddenly, as ducks will, he would dive down and tickle their necks, just under where their chins would be if ducks had chins, till they were forced to come to the surface again in a hurry, spluttering and angry and shaking their feathers at him, for it is impossible to say quite ALL you feel when your head is under water. At last they implored him to go away and attend to his own affairs and leave them to mind theirs. So the Rat went away, and sat on the river bank in the sun, and made up a song about them, which he called 慏UCKS?DITTY.?All along the backwater, Through the rushes tall, Ducks are a-dabbling, Up tails all! 河鼠正坐在岸边，吟唱一支小曲儿。这曲子是他自己编的，所以唱得很带劲，没怎么留意鼹鼠或别的事儿。一大早，他就和鸭子朋友们在河里游泳来着。鸭子一惯总喜欢猛地头朝下脚朝上拿大顶。这时，河鼠就潜到水下，在鸭子的下巴（要是鸭子有下巴的话）下面的脖子上挠痒痒，弄得鸭子只好赶紧钻出水面，扑打着羽毛，气急败坏地冲他嚷嚷。因为，要是你的头倒插在水里，你自然不可能痛痛快快发泄你一腔怒火。后来，他们只得央求他走开，去管自己的事，别干涉他们。河鼠这才走开了，在河岸上坐着晒太阳，编一首有关鸭子的歌。歌名叫：《鸭谣》—— Ducks?tails, drakes?tails, Yellow feet a-quiver, Yellow bills all out of sight Busy in the river! Slushy green undergrowth Where the roach swim桯ere we keep our larder, Cool and full and dim. Everyone for what he likes! WE like to be Heads down, tails up, Dabbling free! High in the blue above Swifts whirl and call梂E are down a-dabbling Up tails all! 沿着静水湾， 长长灯芯草， 鸭群在戏水， 尾巴高高翘。 公鸭母鸭尾． 黄脚颤悠悠， 黄嘴隐不见， 河中忙不休。 绿萍水草稠 鱼儿尽兴游， 食品储存库， 丰盛又清幽。 人各有所好！ 头下尾上翘， 鸭子的心愿， 水上乐消遥。 蓝蓝天空高， 雨燕飞又叫， 我们戏水中， 尾巴齐上翘！ ‘I don’t know that I think so VERY much
