本书讲述鼹鼠、水鼠、獾、蛤蟆以及其他小动物在河岸边和树林里，满满乡村风情和友谊互助的生活故事。 开篇是鼹鼠的大扫除，在外出放风的时候遇到了之后会成为好朋友的鼹鼠，不断的接触后爱上了泥土之上的生活——闲适、自在而有趣。在水鼠的介绍下，鼹鼠接着认识了獾和蛤蟆。每个小动物都有自己的性格和性情，好脾气、任劳任怨的鼹鼠；善心有计划的水鼠；可靠又威严的獾。而蛤蟆，无疑是这个故事里令人印象最深的角色，它狂妄自大、爱好吹嘘，喜好冒险，对朋友好意的规劝当作麻烦，这样一个令人生厌的角色却被它的朋友爱护和保护，有时也会为它的朋友感到愤愤不平哈哈。 除了角色鲜明生动外，本书的环境描写堪称一绝，语言流畅、用词讲究，单单从文字描述上就能带给读者一片绮丽的风光，让人流连。但是对于阅读和翻译的要求也变得很高，人物间的对话我基本能看懂七七八八，但是一旦涉及到景色的描写，可能就只剩四五成了。梅静的翻译很强，基本能把故事的韵味都译出来了，不过有一些感受是只有阅读原文的时候才能得到的，这一点我就很羡慕那些词汇量充足且对阅读外文没有障碍的人了，或者通过不断地坚持，我也总有这么一天？哈哈。

#20230801 阅读打卡 预计阅读：p1-15 实际阅读：p1-29 难忘的表述： 1. Spring was moving in the air above and in the earth below and around him, penetrating even his dark and lowly little house with its spirit of divine discontent and longing.(p11)

1. Hither and thither through the meadows he rambled busily, along the hedgerows, across the copses, finding everywhere birds building, flowers budding, leaves thrusting – everything happy, and progressive, and occupied.(p12)

2. After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working.(p14)

3. When tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea.(p14)

4. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in paricular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not.(p17)

5. The Mole never heard a word he was saying. Absorbed in the new life he was entering upon, intoxicated with the sparkle, the ripple, the scents and the sounds and the sunlight, he trailed a paw in the water and dreamed long waking dreams.(p18)

6. The Rat hummed a tune, and the Mole recollected that animal – etiquetle forbade any sort of comment on the sudden disappearance of one's friends at any moment, for any reason or no reason whatever.(p26)

7. This day was only the first of many similar ones for the emancipated Mole, each of them longer and fuller of interest as the ripening summer noved onward. He learnt to swim and to row, and entered into the joy of running water; and with his ear to the reed-stems he caught, at intervals, something of what the wind went whispering so constantly among them.(p29)

1. The open road, the dusty highway, the heath, the common, the hederows, the rolling downs! Camps, villages, towns, cities! Here today, up and off to somewhere else tomorrow! Travel, change, interset, excitement! The whole world before you, and a horizon that's always changing!（p34）

Toad talked big about all he was going to do in the days to come, while stars grew fuller and larger all around them, and a yellow moon, appearing suddenly and silently from nowhere in particular, came to keep them company and listen to their talk.(p37) 2. The sooner we make a start the better.(p43) 感想：第二章画面感也很强，三人欢快的旅行变成了这样意料不及的样子。Toad的行为的确很小孩子，不过有钱可以造哈哈。我也要开始旅行模式了，争取每天看一点点。

Copses, dells, quarries and all hidden places, which had been mysterious mines for exploration in leafy summer, now exposed themselves and their secrets pathetically, and seemed to ask him to overlook their shabby poverty for a while…(p49) 3. Everything was very still now. The dusk advanced on him steadily, rapidly, gathering in behind and before; and the light seemed to be draining away like flood-water.(p50) 4. There seemed to be no end to this wood, and no beginning, and no difference in it, and, worst of all,no way out.(p57) 提交人：一只桃纸

预计阅读：p68-75 实际阅读：p68-80 难忘的表述： You're entirely your own master, and you don't have to consult anybody or mind what they say. Things go on all the same over-head, and you let 'em, and don't bother about 'em. When you want to, up you go, and there the things are, waiting for you.（p74）

I know it's a – shabby, dingy little place, he sobbed forth at last, brokenly: not like – your cosy quarters – or Toad's beautiful hall – or Badger's great house – but it was my own little home – and I was fond of it.（p87） 2. Rouse yourself! pull yourself together, and come with me and forage.（p91） 3. But it was good to think he had this to come back to, this place which was all his own, these things which were so glad to see him again and could always be counted upon for the same simple welcome.（p99）

It was a bright morning in the early part of summer; the river had resumed its wonted banks and its accustomed pace, and a hot sun seemed to be pulling everything green and bushy and spiky up out of the earth towards him…（p100） 2. Animals when in company walk in a proper and sensible manner, in single file, instead of sprawling all across the road and being of no use or support to each other in case of sudden trouble or danger.（p102） 3.

Though it was past ten o'clock at night, the sky still clung to and retained some lingering skirts of light from the departed day; and the sullen heats of the torrid afternoon broke up and rolled away at the dispersing touch of the cool fingers of the short midsummer night.（p116） 2. The line of the horizon was clear and hard against the sky, and in one particular quarter it showed black against a silvery climbing phosphorescence that grew and grew.…once more they began to see surfaces—meadows wide-spread, and quiet gardens, and the river itself from bank to bank, all softly disclosed, all washed clean of mystery and terror, all radiant again as by day, but with a difference that was tremendous. （p119） 3. As one wakened suddenly from a beautiful dream, who struggles to recall it, and can recapture nothing but a dim sense of the beauty of it, the beauty! （p126） 感想：这一段找人的景色太美啦！另外，美梦醒来总是想要回味哈哈。 提交人：一只桃纸

As the guests one by one pack, pay, and depart, and the seats at the table-d'hôte shrink pitifully at each succeeding meal; as suites of rooms are closed, carpets taken up, and waiters sent away…（p148） 2. We hunger to inquire of each other, to compare notes and assure ourselves that it was all really true, as one by one the scents and sounds and names of long-forgotten places come gradually back and beckon to us.（p152） 3. to-day, the unseen was everything, the unknown the only real fact of life.（p154） 4. Tell me something of your coasting, then, if you have a mind to, and what sort of harvest an animal of spirit might hope to bring home from it to warm his latter days with gallant memories by the fireside.（p158）

You don’t deserve to have such true and loyal friends, Toad, you don’t, really.
