Clifford's Thanksgiving Visit by Norman Bridwell

《大红狗克利福德的感恩节之行》 作者：诺曼·伯德韦尔

Hi, my name is Emily Elizabeth. My dog Clifford and I have a lot of fun on Halloween. Then, as soon as Halloween is over, we start looking forward to Thanksgiving.

嗨，我叫艾米丽·伊丽莎白。 我和我的狗狗克利福德万圣节玩得特别开心。 万圣节刚结束，我们就开始盼着感恩节啦。

Last Thanksgiving, my family flew away to visit my grandma. Clifford had to stay home. Our neighbors took care of him. They were very kind, but Clifford got lonely. He thought about his own family. His father, his sisters, Bonnie and Claudia, his brother Nero. They all live in different places.

去年感恩节，我们全家坐飞机去看望奶奶。 克利福德只能待在家里。 邻居们帮忙照顾他。 邻居们都很和善，可克利福德还是觉得孤单。 他想起了自己的家人。 他的爸爸、妹妹邦妮和克劳迪娅，还有哥哥尼禄。 他们都住在不同的地方。

Most of all, Clifford thought about his mom. He decided to spend Thanksgiving with her. She lives in the city. Early Thanksgiving morning, Clifford started out. It was easy. There weren't many cars.

克利福德最想念的是他的妈妈。 他决定要去陪妈妈过感恩节。 妈妈住在城里。 感恩节一大早，克利福德就出发了。 路上很顺畅。 车不多。

But as he got near the city, there were a lot of cars. Everybody seemed to be going to see their moms. Some drivers were in a hurry. They bumped into Clifford and honked at him.

可等他快到城里的时候，路上车就多了起来。 大家好像都赶着去看望自己的妈妈。 有些司机开得很急。 他们撞到了克利福德，还对着他按喇叭。

Clifford came to a bridge. There were no cars on it. They had all stopped. Clifford wondered why. Soon he found out it was a drawbridge and it was opening right under Clifford.

克利福德走到一座桥跟前，桥上一辆车都没有，车全都停住了，克利福德不知道是怎么回事。 很快他就发现，这是一座开合桥，正好在他脚底下慢慢张开了。
