Two little girls, called Lucy and Jane, lived in a cottage in the country.
有兩個小女孩分別叫做路西和簡,他們住在鄉(xiāng)村的小屋里。
One day they were playing with their dolls.

They were busy talking about something, when one of them said, “Let us go and ask mother.”
她們在熱烈地討論著什么,其中一個說,“我們去請教媽媽吧。”
Together they went into the house, where their mother was sewing, and Lucy said, “Please, mother, may we have a washing day?”
她們一起走進屋子,她們的媽媽正在縫衣服,路西說道,我媽媽,今天讓我們洗衣服好么?
“A washing day!” said their mother.
洗衣日!她們的媽媽回答到。
“What do little girls want with a washing day?”
兩個小女孩洗衣日想干什么呢?
Oh, do please let us have one, for our dolls' clothes are so dirty,” said Jane.
啊,真的請讓我們有個洗衣日,因為我們的玩具衣服太臟,簡這樣說道。
“Dirty! are they?”said their mother. “Then you may wash them; but be careful to keep yourselves clean.”
臟!真的么?那你們洗吧,但是你們一定要保持干凈,他們的媽媽說到。
In the kitchen they got a small tub, some warm water, and a piece of soap.
他們從廚房拿了一個小浴盆,一些熱水以及一塊肥皂。
Then they went out to the green behind the house and began to wash.
然后他們來到了屋后的綠地開始洗玩具。

Lucy washed them quite clean, and Jane hung them on a cord to dry.
路西洗的非常干凈,簡把衣服晾曬在繩索上。
When the dolls were dressed again in their clean clothes, they looked like two little queens.
