Once upon a time there were four little Rabbits, and their names were—Flopsy,Mopsy,Cotton-tail,and Peter.
很久以前，有四只可爱的小兔子，他们的名字分别叫佛罗普塞、莫普塞、库特泰尔和彼得。

They lived with their Mother in a sand-bank, underneath the root of a very big fir-tree.
他们和他们的妈妈一起，住在一棵大枞树树根下面的一个沙洞里。

'Now my dears,' said old Mrs. Rabbit one morning, 'you may go into the fields or down the lane, but don't go into Mr. McGregor's garden: your Father had an accident there; he was put in a pie by Mrs. McGregor.'
“哦，我亲爱的宝贝们”，一天早晨，兔子妈妈说：“你们可以到麦田里或者沿着这条小路去玩，但是千万不能去麦戈雷格先生的菜园。要知道，你们的爸爸就是在那儿出的事儿，他被麦戈雷格先生做成了馅饼。”

'Now run along, and don't get into mischief. I am going out.'
"好了，你们可以走了，但是不许调皮捣蛋啊，我现在要出去。"

Then old Mrs. Rabbit took a basket and her umbrella, and went through the wood to the bakery. She bought a loaf of brown bread and five currant buns.然后，兔子妈妈提了个篮子，又拿上她的雨伞，穿过森林，来到了一家面包店。她买了一条黑面包和5个刚刚烤好的小圆果子面包。
