精靈鼠小弟 第13期:斯圖亞特和貓打賭
鍛煉
One fine morning in the month of May when Stuart was three years old,
五月的一個晴好的早晨，已經(jīng)三歲大的斯圖亞特又像往常一樣早早的起來，
he arose early as was his custom, washed and dressed himself, took his hat and cane, and went downstairs into the living room to see what was doing.
為自己洗了衣服，又戴上帽子，拿起他的手杖，跑到樓下的起居室去看別人在干什么。
Nobody was around but Snowbell, the white cat belonging to Mrs. Little.
當(dāng)時除了雪球沒人在場--他是利特爾太太養(yǎng)的一只白貓。
Snowbell was another early riser, and this morning he was lying on the rug in the middle of the room, thinking about the days when he was just a kitten.
雪球也喜歡早起，那天早上他正躺在房間中央的地毯上，回想著自己小時候的那些日子。
"Good morning," said Stuart.
"早上好，"斯圖亞特說。
"Hello," replied Snowbell, sharply.
"你好，"雪球尖聲回答。
"You're up early, aren't you?" Stuart looked at his watch.
"你起得很早呀，不是嗎?"斯圖亞特看看他的手表。
"Yes," he said, "it's only five minutes past six, but I felt good and I thought I'd come down and get a little exercise."
"是的，"他說，"現(xiàn)在剛剛六點(diǎn)過五分，可是我感覺睡夠了，就想下來做一個小小的鍛煉了。"
I should think you'd get all the exercise you want up there in the bathroom, banging around,
我想你喜歡在浴室里做你的那些鍛煉，還喜歡到處敲來敲去的，
waking all the rest of us up trying to get that water started so you can brush your teeth.
把我們其他人都吵醒，只為打開水龍頭刷你的牙。
Your teeth aren't really big enough to brush anyway.
你的牙那么小，根本不值得去刷。
Want to see a good set? Look at mine!
想看一口真正的好牙嗎?我!
Snowbell opened his mouth and showed two rows of gleaming white teeth, sharp as needles.
雪球張開他的嘴，露出兩排閃著亮光的，像針一樣尖的白牙。
"Very nice," said Stuart. "But mine are all right, too, even though they're small. "
"很不錯，"斯圖亞特說。"但是我的牙也很好，盡管它們很小。"
As for exercise, I take all I can get. I bet my stomach muscles are firmer than yours.
至于鍛煉嘛，我倒是一直在堅(jiān)持做我能做的所有鍛煉。所以我敢打賭，我的腹肌一定比你的更結(jié)實(shí)。
"I bet they're not," said the cat.
"我敢打賭，不是這樣，"那只貓說。
"I bet they are," said Stuart. "They're like iron bands."
"我敢打賭，就是這樣，"斯圖亞特說。"它們就像鐵一樣結(jié)實(shí)。"
"I bet they're not," said the cat.
"我敢打賭，不是這樣，"那只貓說。
