第104课

“O Hattie! I just saw a large rat in the shed; and old Nero tried to catch it.”

“噢，海蒂！我刚刚在车库里看见了一只大老鼠，老尼禄正试图抓到它。”

“Did he catch it, Frank?”

“弗兰克，尼禄抓到它了吗？ ”

“No; Nero did not; but the old cat did.”

“没有，尼禄没抓到，但那只老猫抓到了。”

“My cat?”

“我的猫？ ”

“No, it was the other one.”

“不，是另一只。”

“Do tell me how she got it, Frank. Did she run after it?”

“弗兰克，你一定得告诉我它是怎么抓到老鼠的。是跟在老鼠后面跑吗？”

“No, that was not the way. Puss was hid on a big box.

“不是，不是这种方法。猫躲在一个大盒子上面。

The rat stole out, and she jumped at it and caught it.”

老鼠偷偷跑出来，猫一下子跳过去，然后抓到了它。”

“Poor rat! It must have been very hungry; it came out to get something to eat.”

“可怜的老鼠！它一定很饿了，所以出来找些东西吃。”

“Why, Hattie, you are not sorry puss got the rat, are you?”

“为什么？海蒂，猫抓住了那只老鼠，你感到很难过，是吗？ ”

“No, I can not say I am sorry she got it; but I do not like to see even a rat suffer pain.”

“不，我不能说猫抓到了它我就很难过。但哪怕是一只老鼠遭受不幸，我也不愿意看到。”
