The Rat looked around him.
水鼠看了看他的周围，说：
I see that all the boats are out of the water, 'he said.
我发现所有的船都没停在水里，
I suppose Toad has finished with boating now and has some new interest to amuse him. '
我猜蛤蟆现在不再玩船了，肯定又有什么新鲜有趣的东西吸引着他。
They walked over the grass towards the house and soon found Toad, resting in a garden-chair and carefully studying a large map.
他们穿过草坪向房子走去，很快便看见了癞蛤蟆，他正坐在花园椅里仔细地研究着地图。
'Wonderful! 'he cried, as he saw them. 'You're just the fellow that I wanted to see, Ratty.
太棒了！癞蛤蟆一看到他们就叫了起来。我正想见你呢，阿鼠，
He jumped up and came towards them, talking all the time, and gave the Rat no time to introduce the Mole.
他跳了起来，向他们走去，嘴里说个不停，根本不给水鼠时间来介绍鼹鼠。
I need you very much-both of you. You've got to help me. It's most important! '
我非常需要你—你们俩。你们得帮我，这是最最重要的！
'It's about your rowing, I suppose, 'said the Rat, keeping his face very serious. 'You will learn to do it in the end, you know, if you're patient and work hard and----'
我想，是关于划船吧，水鼠一本正经地说。你总算要学了，你知道吧，如果你耐心点，刻苦点，再—
'Oh, bother boats! 'the Toad said crossly. 'I've finished with boats. Silly way to pass the time.
噢，讨厌的船！癞蛤蟆气恼地说。我不再划船了，简直是打发日子的傻办法。
No, I've discovered the real thing-the best way, the only way, to spend one's life.
是的，我已发现了一个真正的活法—最好的，唯一的活法。
Come with me, dear Ratty, and your kind friend too, and I will show you! '
跟我来，亲爱的阿鼠，还有你好心的朋友，我要带你们去看看！
He took them round to the other side of the house, and there they saw a shiny new gipsy caravan. It had yellow and green sides, and red wheels.
他带他们绕到了房子的另一头，那儿他们看见一辆锃亮崭新的吉普赛大篷车，镶滚着黄绿边，轮子是红色的。
'There you are! 'cried the Toad. 'There's real life for you. The open road, the fields, the hills…villages, towns, cities!
你们看！癞蛤蟆叫道，这才是属于你们的真正的生活。宽敞的公路、原野、山峦……村庄、城镇、都市！
Here today, off to a different place tomorrow!
今天在这儿，明天到另一个不同的地方！
Travel, change, interest-the world in front of you!
旅行、变幻、趣味——世界就在你的面前！
The Mole was very interested and excited, and followed the Toad inside the caravan to look around. But the Rat shook his head and waited outside.
鼹鼠觉得非常有趣，非常兴奋，他跟着癞蛤蟆走进大篷车参观，但水鼠摇着头，在外面等着。
