第30章 頑皮的孩子 The Saucy Boy(第2/4 頁)

樣閃爍，儘管水從他金色的捲髮上流下，它們仍然捲曲得非常漂亮。

And he was, too. his eyes sparkled like two bright stars, and although the water flowed down from his fair locks, they still curled quite beautifully.

他看起來像一個小天使，但是由於寒冷而臉色蒼白，渾身發抖。他手裡拿著一把漂亮的弓，但是它已經完全被雨弄壞了，漂亮的箭的顏色因為被打溼而混在了一起。

he looked like a little angel, but was pale with cold, and trembling all over. In his hand he held a splendid bow, but it had been entirely spoilt by the rain, and the colours of the pretty arrows had run into one another by getting wet.
