A House for Hedgehog
"I need a new house," said Hedgehog. "My house is too cold."
So Hedgehog went to look for a new house. "I like your house, Otter," said Hedgehog. "But it is much too wet."
Hedgehog went to Rabbit's house." I like your house, Rabbit," said Hedgehog. "But there is no room for me."
Then Hedgehog went to Squirrel's house. "Your house looks warm," said Hedgehog. "But I cannot live in a tree."
Hedgehog went to Mole's house next. But Mole's house was much too dark. "I cannot see in the dark like you," said Hedgehog.
So Hedgehog went back to his own house. On the way, he slipped.
Hedgehog rolled and rolled. He got covered in leaves.
"I like my house best," said Hedgehog.
Tips from Jessie's Mom:
too:十分,太。
much too:语气更强,翻译还是“太,实在是太...”
look for:寻找 find:找到
例如:我找了半天我的手套,可是也没找到。
I looked for my gloves for a long time, but still could not find them.
room:有两种意思.
1). 第一种是“房间”,这种情况下是可数名词。
例如:他家有三个房间。
There are three rooms in his house.
2). 第二种是“空间”,这种情况下是不可数名词。
例如:书架上没有放新书的地方了。
There is no room for the new books in the bookshelf.
Your house looks warm.在这句话中,look 不是“看”的意思,而应该翻译成“看上去”。
例如:快看Jerry,他今天看上去很高兴啊!
Look at Jerry. He looks happy today!
in the dark:在黑暗中
I cannot see in the dark like you. 这句话中的 like,是“像...一样”,而不是“喜欢”。
例如:你长得很像爸爸。
You look like your father.
on the way:在路上。如果想表示“在去...的路上”,可以用:on the way to ...
get covered in leaves.
1). get covered = be covered:被覆盖
2). leaves是复数形式,单数是 leaf。大家注意,f / fe结尾的单词变成复数
时,常常需要改成 -ves. 例如:knife --- knives;wife --- wives 等。
