「Tom was the tooth fairy. He had a very important job. Every night, he flew to children’s houses.」

「汤姆是一名牙仙。他有一份非常重要的工作。每天晚上，他都会飞到孩子们的家里。」

「He collected teeth from under the children’s pillows. Then he gave him a coin for each tooth.」

「他从孩子们的枕头下收集牙齿。然后他为每颗牙齿留下一个硬币。」

So can you see the word “children”? Children means there’s more than one child. So it’s one of those funny words that has an “’s”. Often if we talk about more than one thing, so we can say “the dog’s bowl”, it means one dog and it's “dog’s”.If we mean the dogs, as in all dogs, or lots of dogs, we put dogs then an apostrophe.

所以你能看到“children”这个词吗？“children”的意思是不止一个孩子。所以它是那些带有“'s”的有趣复数单词之一。通常，如果我们谈论不止一件东西时……所以我们可以说“the dog's bowl（小狗的碗）”，它指的是一只小狗，因此写作“dog's”。如果我们想说“小狗们”的，例如是“所有小狗”的，或者是“很多小狗”的，那我们会在“dogs”后加上撇号（写作“dogs'”）。

Sometimes we have an apostrophe then another “s”, but children is already means more than one. So we always write “children’s” meaning it belongs to them. We have an “’s”. The children’s houses. The children’s pillows.

有时候，我们会在撇号后面加上一个“s”，而“children”本就意味着不止一个孩子。所以我们在表达他们的所有物时，直接将其写作“children's”。我们在末尾直接加上“'s”。The children's houses（孩子们的房子）。The children's pillows（孩子们的枕头）。

「But sometimes Tom played with the children’s toys, too.」

「但有时候，汤姆也会玩孩子们的玩具。」

Remember that word “too” here means “as well”. So little bit naughty isn’t it?

记住“too”这个单词，它的意思是“as well（也）”。他有点调皮，不是吗？

「One night, Tom flew into Polly’s room. It was full of lovely toys to play with!」

「一天晚上，汤姆飞到波莉的房间里。房间里有很多可爱的玩具可以玩！」

「He played with the teddies, stroking their fur. He rocked on the rocking horse and played with the toy train.」

「他玩着泰迪熊，抚摸着它们的毛皮。他在摇摆木马上摇啊摇，还玩起了玩具火车。」

So he’s not being really naughty here, is he? He’s being very kind to the teddy bear. He’s stroking the fur. I wonder whether you have a teddy bear.

那么，他在这里并不是真的很调皮，不是吗？他对泰迪熊非常友善。他在抚摸它的毛皮。我想知道你是否拥有一只泰迪熊呢。

And he’s riding, he rocked on the rocking horse and played with the toy train. There’s lots of other toys I think I can see in Polly’s room. Look at Polly, she’s fast asleep.

他还在骑马，他在摇摆木马上摇啊摇，并且玩着玩具火车。我想我可以在波莉的房间里看到很多其他的玩具。看看波莉，她睡得很沉。

「Then Tom saw the dolls house. He flew in to say ‘hello’ to the dolls.」

「然后，汤姆看到了一个娃娃屋。他飞奔进去和娃娃们打招呼。」

「He ran up and down the tiny stairs. He sat at the table and poured tea into the tiny cups.」

「他在娃娃屋里的小楼梯中跑上跑下。他坐在桌子旁，把茶倒进小杯子里。」

They’re a little bit like my cup, but my cup doesn’t have a saucer. Can you see in the picture, the tea is in a cup and saucer, and there’s a teapot as well. So you “pour” the tea, it’s an action, it’s a verb. You pour the tea into the tea cups. I wonder whether it’s a nice cup of tea he’s having. I think it might just be a pretend one. What do you think?

绘本上的这些杯子和我的杯子有点像，但我的杯子没有茶碟。看看这幅图片，茶被放在一个杯子里，还配有茶碟，这里还有一个茶壶。所以你倒茶，“pour（倒）”是一个动作，是一个动词。你把茶倒进茶杯里。我想知道他的这杯茶好不好喝。我想这可能只是一个假装的动作。你怎么认为？

「Suddenly, Polly’s alarm clock went off. She started to wake up.」

「突然，波莉的闹钟响了。她醒了过来。」

「“Oh no! It’s six o’clock,” said Tom. “I have to go!”」

「“噢，不！已经六点了，”汤姆说道，“我得走了！”」

「He ran to the window and flew out, just in time. Hmm...but he had forgotten to collect Polly’s tooth.」

「他跑到窗前，飞了出去，正好赶上时间。嗯……但是，他忘了拿波莉的牙齿。」

Oh dear. So it’s six o’clock, the alarm has gone up off. I wonder what time you get up in the morning? Six o’clock is quite early. My dogs like to get up at six o’clock, it’s quite early in the morning.

哦，天哪。所以现在是早上六点，闹钟已经响了。我想知道你早上几点起床呢？六点真的很早。我的狗喜欢在六点钟起床，那真的是一大清早。

「Tom flew back to fairyland as fast as he could.」

「汤姆以最快的速度飞回到仙境。」

「“Huh, you are late,” said the Fairy Boss. “Did you get lost?”」

「“哼，你迟到了，”仙女老板说，“你迷路了吗？”」

「“I’m sorry,” said Tom. “I was playing with Polly’s toys and I forgot the time.”」

「“我很抱歉，”汤姆说，“我在玩波莉的玩具，忘记了时间。”」

「“Oh, Tom, not again! You are naughty,” said the Fairy Boss. “Go and put Polly’s tooth with the rest.”」

「“噢，汤姆，不要再这样了！你太淘气了，”仙女老板说。“去把波莉的牙齿和其他的牙放在一起吧。”」

Oh, dear.

哦，天哪。

「Tom felt in his bag for the tooth. Oh no! He had forgotten it! Polly would be so sad. He would have to go back.」

「汤姆在他的包里摸索着那颗牙。哦，不！他把它给忘了。波莉会很伤心的。他不得不回去一趟。」

So here, can you see this big circle with the three little bubbles by the side? This shows that’s what he’s thinking. He’s thinking about what Polly would be like when she looks under her pillow and finds her tooth still there, and no money for her...Oh, dear.

所以在绘本这里，你能看到这个大圆圈和边上的三个小气泡吗？这表明这是汤姆想象的画面。他正在想，当波莉看向她的枕头下时，发现她的牙齿还在那里，而且没有钱币留给她……哦，天哪，她会是什么感受呢？

「That night, after it was dark, Tom set off. He made sure Polly was asleep and flew into her room.」

「那天晚上，天黑之后，汤姆出发了。他确定波莉已经睡着后，然后飞奔进她的房间。」

「He didn’t look the toys. He didn’t stop to play. He had to get Polly’s tooth.」

「他没有看那些玩具。他没有停下来去玩玩具。他必须拿到波莉的牙齿。」

And see her, asleep in the bed.

看哪，她在床上睡着了。

「He crept over to the bed, and slid his hand under her pillow. Yes! The tooth was still there! 」

「他蹑手蹑脚地走到床边，把手伸到她的枕头下面。是的！那颗牙还在那里！」

「Slowly, Tom pulled the tooth out and put it in his bag. Then he put a shiny coin where the tooth had been.」

「慢慢地，汤姆把牙齿弄了出来，放进他的包里。然后他把一枚闪亮的硬币放在牙齿原本的位置上。」

Can you see what the time is? It’s four o’clock. I think that’s four o’clock in the morning. That’s not a time that you should be awake.

你能看到现在是什么时间吗？现在是四点钟。我想那是早上四点钟。那不是一个你应该醒着的时间。

「Tom flew off into the night. He had lots more work to do. 」

「汤姆在夜色中飞走了。他还有很多工作要做。」

「When Polly woke up in the morning, she felt under her pillow. There, where the tooth had been, was a bright, shiny coin! The tooth fairy had come at last!」

「当波莉在早晨醒来时，她摸了摸枕头下面。在原本放着牙齿的地方，有一枚闪闪发光的硬币！牙仙终于来了！」

Can you see the time on the clock now? It’s seven o’clock. That’s a better time to wake up. And if you look very carefully at Polly, you can see that she has a tooth, it almost looks like some teeth missing. And she’s finally got her coin. So eventually, it all worked out!

你现在能看到时钟上的时间吗？现在是七点。那是一个更好的起床时间。如果你仔细看看波莉，你可以看到她有牙齿，但她看起来似乎也缺了几颗牙齿。而她终于得到了她的硬币。所以，最终，一切都解决了！

And I wonder if you can think what lesson we learn from this story. Well, it says Tom is rather naughty. He doesn't do anything really that bad. He just gets a little bit excited, a little bit carried away and starts playing with the toys.

我想知道你是否能想一想，我们从这个故事中学到了什么教训。嗯，它说汤姆是相当淘气的。他并没有做什么真正的坏事。他只是有点兴奋过头，有点忘乎所以了，开始玩玩具。

He doesn't do the job that he's meant to do, but he's having a really lovely time, but he forgets about time. And suddenly Polly starts to wake up and he thinks “Oh no! She shouldn’t be able to see me! I need to get out of here! I need to disappear!” And he does that, but he forgets to take the tooth.

他没有做他本该做的工作，他玩得非常开心，以至于忘记了时间。突然，波莉渐渐醒来，他想：“哦，不！她不能看到我！我需要离开这里！我需要消失！”他这样做了，但忘记拿上她的牙齿。
