Missing Mittens

失蹤的手套

Farmer Bill was shivering.

農夫比爾顫抖着。

Snow was in the air.

空中飄着雪。

He looked out on the stormy day and wondered what to wear.

他在暴風雨天望着外面，不知道該穿什麼。

“Long underwear!” said Bill.

“長内衣!”比爾說。

“And my brand-new coat. I’ll get my hat and scarf and earmuffs. But I’m not ready yet. ”

“還有我的新外套。 我去拿我的帽子，圍巾和耳套。 但我還沒準備好。”

“Where are my two mittens?”

“我的兩隻手套呢?”

Only one was there.

隻有一隻在那裡。

Just one odd mitten by itself...

隻有一隻奇數的手套…

One mitten’s not a pair.

一副手套不是一副。

Bill went out to milk his cow,

比爾出去擠牛奶，

as cold as she could be.

要多冷有多冷。

They looked for her four mittens, but there were only three.

他們找了她的四隻手套，但隻有三隻。

Only three odd mittens-they couldn’t find one more.

隻有三副奇數手套——他們再也找不到一副了。

Any cow needs more than three;

任何一頭牛都需要超過三副;

she needs an even four.

她需要一個偶數的4。

Next were his three chickens.

接下來是他的三隻雞。

They were huddled in their pen.

它們擠在圍欄裡。

They wished they had six mittens-two mittens for each hen.

他們希望自己有六隻連指手套——每隻母雞有兩隻連指手套。

Bill looked and found five mittens, but they really needed six.

比爾找了找，找到了5隻手套，但是他們真的需要6隻。

Without an even number, one hen was in a fix.

沒有偶數，一隻母雞就陷入了困境。

Bill went to see the horses.

比爾去看馬。

Both were shaking in their stall.

兩匹都在馬廄裡發抖。

Each needed four warm mittens-that’s eight mittens in all.

每匹馬需要四副手套——總共八副手套。

But there were only seven.

但是隻有七個。

One horse would catch a chill.

一匹馬會受涼的。

Seven mittens for eight hooves--”How very odd!” said Bill.

七隻手套換八個蹄子——“多奇怪啊!””比爾說。

Where were the missing mittens?

丢失的連指手套在哪裡?

How could they be found?

怎樣才能找到它們呢?

“A mitten thief has been here!”

“有個偷手套的賊來過這裡!”

Bill scratched his head and frowned.

比爾撓着頭皺着眉頭。

We must get back our mittens!

我們必須拿回我們的手套!

Hey, what is that goat doing?

嘿，那隻山羊在幹什麼?

This is no time for breakfast but it looks like he is...

現在不是吃早飯的時間，但看起來他……

CHEWING!”

咀嚼!”

Now every hand and foot and hoof was snug and toasty warm.

現在每隻手、每隻腳、每隻蹄都溫暖舒适。

And everything was fine again-

一切又恢複正常了

until the next big storm.

直到下一場大風暴來臨。

再來讀一遍完整的繪本:

Snow was in the air.

He looked out on the stormy day and woondered what to wear.

“Where are my two mittens?” Only one was there.

Just one odd mitten by itself...

One mitten’s not a pair.

Bill went out to milk his cow,

Only three cold mittens-they couldn’t find one more.

Any cow needs more than three; she needs an even four.

Next were his three chickens.

They were huddled in their pen.

They wished they had six mittens-two mittens for each hen.
