精灵鼠小弟 第62期:抢走凯瑟琳的小香袋

 "I'm not saying it'll work," said Stuart.

“我没有说它一定行得通，”斯图亚特说。

It's a good law and we'll give it a try.

不过，这是条值得我们一试的好法律。

We'll give it a try right here and now.

我们现在就在这里试验一下。

Somebody do something mean to somebody.

得找个人来对别人做一件会引起打斗的事。

Harry¹ Jamieson, you be mean to Katharine Stableford.

哈里·贾米森，你来对凯瑟琳·斯特布尔福特做这件事。

Wait a minute, now, what's that you've got in your hand, Katharine?

现在，先等一分钟，你手里拿的什么，凯瑟琳？

It's a little tiny pillow stuffed with sweet balsam.

一个可爱的装着香脂的小香袋。

Does it say "For you I pine, for you I balsam" on it?

就是“我为你憔悴，我为你芬芳’那句广告里宣传的那种吗？

"Yes," said Katharine.

“是的，”凯瑟琳说。

"Do you love it very much?" asked Stuart.

“你非常珍爱它吗？”斯图亚特问。

"Yes, I do," said Katharine.

“是的，当然，”凯瑟琳说。

Ok, Harry, grab² it, take it away!

OK，哈里，抢走它！

Harry ran over to where Katharine sat, grabbed³ the little pillow from her hand, and ran back to his seat, while Katharine screamed.

哈里跑到凯瑟琳的座位旁，把小香袋从她的手上夺走，跑回自己的座位，凯瑟琳尖叫起来。

"Now then," said Stuart in a fierce voice, "hold on, my good people, while your Chairman consults the book of rules!"

“现在，”斯图亚特用毫无怜悯的语调说，“稍等，朋友们，你们的领导者要查查法律书了！”

He pretended to thumb through a book.

他假装在翻一本书。

Here we are. Page 492.

我们看。第492页。

Absolutely no being mean.

Harry Jamieson has broken two laws--the law against being mean and the law against swiping.
