Lived twelve little girls in two straight lines.

They left the house at half past nine

In two straight lines in rain or shine.

The smallest one was Madeline.

She was not afraid of mice.

She loved winter, snow, and ice.

To the tiger in the zoo

Madeline just said, “Pooh pooh!”

在巴黎的一栋爬满了藤萝的老房子里，

住着十二个小姑娘，她们总是排成笔直的两行。

她们九点半离开老房子时，

无论是下雨天还是晴天，

都是排成笔直的两行。

最小的一个小姑娘叫玛德琳，

她不拍老鼠，

他喜欢冬天，雪花，还有冰。

即使在动物园看到凶猛的老虎，

玛德琳也会冲着它说：“噗-噗-噗！”

And nobody knew so well

How to frighten Miss Clavel –

Until the day she slipped and fell.

还没有人知道有什么事能让克罗薇小姐害怕 ----

直到有一天，玛德琳滑了一跤，掉进了河里。

Poor Madeline would now be dead

可怜的玛德琳就要被淹死了，

But for a dog

That kept its head

幸亏一只狗跑来，它仰着头游到了玛德琳身边，

And dragged her safe from a watery grave.

把她从龙王爷那里救了出来。

“From now on, I hope you will listen to me,

And here is a cup of camomile tea.”

“从现在起，我希望你能听我的话，”克罗薇小姐说，“快把这杯*花茶喝下吧。”

“Good night, little girls – I hope you sleep well.”

“Good night, good night, dear Miss Clavel!”

Miss Clavel turned out the light.

After she left there was a fight

About where the dog should sleep that night.

“晚安吧，小姑娘们，希望你们能睡个好觉。”

“晚安，晚安，亲爱的克罗薇小姐！”

克罗薇小姐关上了灯。

但是她刚一离开，屋子里就炸开了锅，

小姑娘们为狗狗该睡在哪儿而吵个不停。

The new pupil was ever

So helpful and clever.

The dog loved biscuits, milk, and beef

And they named it Genevieve.

看，这个新来的学生是多么聪明而乐于助人！
