"What did you say, Rabbit" asked Billy. "Oh, nothing."
“你说什么,兔子?”比利问道。“啊,没什么。”
"Yes, you did. You said something."
“但你确实说了,你说了些话。”
"Oh, I just said that your cart is hard to sit on."
“哦,我刚刚说你的车子坐着好硬啊。”
"Then put your coat under you," said Billy Beaver.
“那把你的大衣垫在下面吧。”海狸比利说。
So the tired old rabbit sat down on his coat.
