Catching a Mouse
捕鼠记
One day a lady saw a mouse running across her kitchen floor. She was very afraid of mouse, so she ran out of the house, got into a bus and went to the shops. There she bought a mousetrap. The shopkeeper said to her, "Put some cheese in it and you will soon catch that mouse."
一天，一位女士看到一只老鼠从自家厨房的地板上窜过。她很害怕老鼠，所以她冲出屋子，搭上了公共汽车直奔商店。在那儿，她买了一只老鼠夹。店主告诉她：“在里面放点奶酪，很快就会逮住那只老鼠的。”
The lady went home with her mousetrap, but when she looked in her cupboard, she could not find any cheese in it. She did not want to go back to the shop, because it was very late, so she cut a picture of some cheese out of a magazine and put that in the trap.
这位女士带着鼠夹回到家里，但在碗橱里她没有找到奶酪。可是天已经很晚了，她不想再跑一趟商店。于是，她就从一份杂志中剪下一幅奶酪的图片，放进了夹子。
Surprisingly, the picture of the cheese was quite successful! When the lady came down to the kitchen the next morning she found a picture of a mouse in the trap beside the picture of the cheese!
令人称奇的是，这幅奶酪的图片竟然奏效了!第二天早上，这位女士下楼来到厨房里，在奶酪图片旁边发现了一张画着老鼠的图片!
