Once upon a time, there were four little rabbits named Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.
从前，有四只小兔子，分别叫福洛普西、莫普西、棉尾巴和彼得。

They lived with their mother under the root of a big tree.
它们和妈妈住在一棵大树的根下。

One morning, their mother warned them, "Do not go into Mr. McGregor's garden. Your father had an accident there."
一天早晨，妈妈警告它们：“别去麦格雷戈先生的菜园。你们的父亲就是在那里出了事。”

Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cotton-tail obeyed, but Peter, being curious and naughty, ran straight to the garden.
福洛普西、莫普西和棉尾巴都听话地待在家里，而淘气的彼得却直奔菜园。

Peter squeezed under the gate and began to feast on Mr. McGregor's vegetables.
彼得钻过了大门，开始大吃麦格雷戈先生的蔬菜。

He ate lettuces, green beans, and radishes until he felt sick.
他吃了生菜、青豆和萝卜，直到觉得肚子不舒服。

Suddenly, Mr. McGregor spotted Peter and shouted, "Stop, thief!"
突然，麦格雷戈先生发现了彼得，大喊：“站住，小偷！”

Peter ran as fast as he could, but he lost one of his shoes in the chase.
彼得拼命跑，但在逃跑中丢了一只鞋。

Frightened, he ran through the garden, knocking over plants and making a mess.
惊慌的彼得穿过菜园，撞倒了植物，把菜园弄得一片狼藉。

Finally, Peter found the gate and escaped just as Mr. McGregor tried to catch him.
最后，彼得终于找到大门，在麦格雷戈先生快抓到他时逃了出去。

Out of breath and scared, Peter returned home, where his mother scolded him gently.
彼得筋疲力尽、心惊胆战地回到了家，妈妈温柔地批评了他。

She gave him chamomile tea and sent him to bed while his obedient siblings enjoyed a delicious supper.
妈妈给他喝了洋甘菊茶，让他上床休息，而听话的兄弟姐妹们吃了一顿美味的晚餐。

The story teaches that curiosity and disobedience can lead to trouble, but bravery and quick thinking can save the day.
这个故事告诉我们，好奇心和不听劝告可能引发麻烦，但勇气和机智能帮助脱困。
