铁路系列绘本 Thomas and The Missing Christmas Tree 中英双语(4)

Two days before Christmas，the Fat Controller came to see Thomas.
“It's time for you to fetch the tree，Thomas，”he said.
“Duck can look after Annie and Clarabel until you get back。”
圣诞节前两天，胖总管来见托马斯。
“托马斯，你该去取树了，”他说。

“达克会照顾安妮和克拉贝尔，直到你回来。”
“Why should Thomas go？”grumbled Henry.“He can't do anything a splendid green engine likeme couldn't do.”
“为什么应该是托马斯去？”亨利抱怨着。“他做不到像我这样出色的绿色火车所做不到的事。”
“Nor me，”agreed Gordon.“Anyone would think he was special or something.”
