精靈鼠小弟 第43期:安哥拉貓要吃掉瑪戈

"Look here," he heard the Angora cat say to Snowbell,“的確，”他聽到安哥拉貓對(duì)雪球說，

I admit that a cat has a duty toward her own people, and that under thecircumstances it would be wrong for you to eat Margalo.

我承認(rèn)一只貓有責(zé)任為他的主人著想，而在那種情況下，你要吃瑪戈就不對(duì)了。

但我不是你們家的成員，所以沒什么能阻止我吃掉她，是不是?

"Nothing that I can think of off hand," said Snowbell.

“現(xiàn)在我上去了，”安哥拉貓說完，向常春藤上爬去。

The pigeon was wide awake by this time, ready to fly away; but the voices down below continued.

那只鴿子這時(shí)完全醒了，想要逃走;可是下面又傳來了聲音。

"Wait aminute," said Snowbell, "don't be in such a hurry."“等等，”雪球說，“不要這么急。”

I don't think you'd better go in there tonight.

"Well, for one thing.

嗯，因?yàn)橐患隆?/p>

這屬于非法入侵，你可能會(huì)惹麻煩的。

"I won't get into any trouble," said the Angora.

“我不會(huì)陷入麻煩的，”安哥拉貓。
