1.（太陽很大，小兔子去買雪糕，她看見馬叔叔在冰箱上蓋著厚厚的棉被，覺得很奇怪。）

Little rabbit:He is really a foolish uncle. Its so hot, but he covers his fridge with so thick cotton quilt. The ice cream will melt sooner or later!

小兔子:他可真是個傻叔叔，這大熱天的用厚棉被捂著冰箱，雪糕不全化了才怪呢！

foolish（形容詞，愚蠢的。）

cotton quilt（名詞，棉被。）

sooner or later（固定詞組，遲早。）

2.（小兔子給馬叔叔錢，馬叔叔笑瞇瞇地給她拿雪糕。）

Little rabbit:Uncle, here is the money.

小兔子:叔叔，給你錢。

Uncle Horse:Well, here you are the most delicious ice cream.

馬叔叔:好，給你拿最好吃的雪糕。

uncle（名詞，叔叔。）

ice cream（名詞，雪糕。）

3.（小兔子盯著雪糕包裝皮上的白霜，兩眼都直了。）

Little rabbit:Alas, how can it be? It is covered with thick cotton quilt indeed, how cant it not only melt, but also has so much white frost on it?

小兔子:咦，這是怎么回事呢？明明是用棉被捂著的嘛，怎么不但不會化，還有白霜了呢？

cover（動詞，蓋住。）

melt（動詞，融化。）

4.（馬叔叔笑呵呵地給她解釋了半天，她恍然大悟。）

Uncle Horse:The cotton quilt isnt used to keep the other things warm, but “keep away” the hot or cold air. In winter, it can keep the body heat in it. I cover the fridge with cotton quilt in order to keep the ice creams cold air in it, because the cotton quilt can prevent the outside hot air in and keep the inside air cold.

馬叔叔:棉被其實不是起保暖的作用，它是起“阻隔”的作用。冬天蓋棉被，它能把身體散發(fā)的熱氣留在被子里，我給冰箱蓋棉被，也是為了把雪糕的冷氣留住。棉被能阻止外面的熱氣進來，保住里面的冷氣。

Little rabbit:Oh, thats it. From now on, Ill come and buy ice cream here every day. I can also get much knowledge here.

小兔子:哦，原來是這樣?。∫院笪姨焯靵砟氵@兒買雪糕，還能學到好多知識呢。

warm（形容詞，暖和的。）

keep away（固定詞組，阻隔。）

knowledge（名詞，知識。）
