斑点蛙是如何让自己变漂亮的？(13)

于是,在那天晚上,在她回家之前,她把这件事告诉了大玛丽,大玛丽答应尽一切可能帮助她.罗宾知更鸟也说,他一定会来的,比利牛蛙和其他所有人也都答应会来.斑点蛙也邀请了小黑蜘蛛,甚至是小白毛毛虫.她说:"这次你不必装作暖手套了,只不过吃些樱桃,尽情的玩."
Then, early the next morning, before any one else was up, she went to invite the Morning Glory Ladies, for they are always good-natured then, and never frown and scowl at people until the sun is hot.
于是,第二天一大早,在其他人都还没来之前,她就去邀请了牵牛花女士们,因为那时她们总是很好说话,在太阳变得炎热之前她们永远不会对别人皱眉和发脾气.
"Please, dear Morning Glory Ladies," said Freckle Frog, "will you come to my party? I want you more than any one else."
"亲爱的牵牛花女士,"斑点蛙说,"你们会来参加我的派对吗?我最希望你们来参加了."
Then the Morning Glory Ladies fluttered with joy, for they loved parties, and they smiled and answered her: "Yes, indeed, we shall come, Little Freckle Frog, and wear our best dresses, too."
然后,牵牛花女士们欢欣鼓舞,因为她们喜欢派对,她们微笑着回答道:"好的,一定去,小斑点蛙,我们会来的,而且会穿着最好的衣服."
Then at last Freckle Frog was perfectly happy, and she laughed to herself and said:"It really doesn"t matter about my being pretty any more, for every one likes me now!"
