The Tale of Jemima Puddle-Duck — Page 5
牧羊犬凯普在她出来时迎上了她，"你拿着那些洋葱要做什么？你每天下午一个人去哪里，杰迈玛·普德尔鸭？"
The collie-dog Kep met her coming out, "What are you doing with those onions? Where do you go every afternoon by yourself, Jemima Puddle-duck?"
杰迈玛对这只牧羊犬颇为敬畏；她把事情的来龙去脉全都告诉了他。
Jemima was rather in awe of the collie; she told him the whole story.
牧羊犬侧着他那聪慧的脑袋，静静地听着；当她描述那位长着沙色络腮胡的彬彬有礼的绅士时，他咧嘴笑了。
The collie listened, with his wise head on one side; he grinned when she described the polite gentleman with sandy whiskers.
他问了几个关于那片树林的问题，以及那所房子和棚屋确切位置的问题。
He asked several questions about the wood, and about the exact position of the house and shed.
然后他出去了，小跑着穿过村子。他去找两只跟着屠夫外出散步的猎狐犬幼犬。
Then he went out, and trotted down the village. He went to look for two fox-hound puppies who were out at walk with the butcher.
在一个阳光明媚的下午，杰迈玛·普德尔鸭最后一次走上了那条马车路。她带着几束香草和装在袋子里的两个洋葱，背负颇重。
Jemima Puddle-duck went up the cart-road for the last time, on a sunny afternoon. She was rather burdened with bunches of herbs and two onions in a bag.
她飞越树林，降落在那位长着浓密大尾巴的绅士的房子对面。
She flew over the wood, and alighted opposite the house of the bushy long-tailed gentleman.
他正坐在一根木头上；他嗅了嗅空气，不安地不断朝树林四周张望。当杰迈玛降落时，他猛地跳了起来。
He was sitting on a log; he sniffed the air, and kept glancing uneasily round the wood. When Jemima alighted he quite jumped.
"你看完蛋之后马上进屋来。把香草给我做煎蛋饼。快点！"
"Come into the house as soon as you have looked at your eggs. Give me the herbs for the omelette. Be sharp!"
他说话相当生硬。杰迈玛·普德尔鸭从未听过他用这种语气说话。
He was rather abrupt. Jemima Puddle-duck had never heard him speak like that.
她感到又惊讶又不安。
She felt surprised, and uncomfortable.
她在屋里时，听到棚屋后面有杂乱的脚步声。有个黑鼻子的东西在门缝下面嗅了嗅，然后把门锁上了。
While she was inside she heard pattering feet round the back of the shed. Some one with a black nose sniffed at the bottom of the door, and then locked it.
杰迈玛顿时大为惊慌。
Jemima became much alarmed.
