Ch6-Good Dog

CHAPTER SIX Good Dog? Barry dragged Jack out the door of the dining hall into the yard. The air was cold and damp. The sky was gray, and the mountain peaks were shrouded in mist. "Barry, sit!" said Annie. But Barry didn't sit. Instead, he put his nose to the ground and pulled Jack all around the yard. He

第六章乖狗？巴里把杰克从餐厅门口拖到院子里。 空气又冷又湿。 天空是灰色的，山峰笼罩在薄雾中。 “巴里，坐下！”安妮说。但巴里没有坐下。 相反，他把鼻子贴在地上，拉着杰克在院子里转了一圈。 他

smelled the snow and the rock walls. Then he raised his head and closed his eyes, sniffing the air. What does he smell? Jack wondered. Jack couldn't smell anything in the cold mountain air. Annie ran to Jack and Barry and scratched Barry behind his ear. "Come on, Barry! Let's get to work!" she said with enthusiasm. The big dog opened his eyes and wagged his tail. His whole body seemed to be wagging. "Now, Barry, to start with, you have to learn three commands," Annie said. "Come, sit, and stay." Barry sneezed as if to say, No problem! Annie turned to Jack. "When he obeys a command, we give him lots of praise. We should act really positive and upbeat. That's what my book said." Jack rolled his eyes. "Positive," Annie repeated. "Upbeat. Let's start with come. I'll hold him. You walk away and then stop and say, 'Come, Barry!'" Jack sighed and handed Annie the leash. She struggled to keep Barry with her as Jack walked

闻到了雪和岩壁的味道。 然后他抬起头，闭上眼睛，嗅着空气。 他闻到了什么？杰克想知道。 杰克在山上寒冷的空气中什么也闻不到。 安妮跑向杰克和巴瑞，搔了搔巴瑞的耳后。 “加油，巴里！”让我们开始工作吧！”她热情地说。 大狗睁开眼睛，摇着尾巴。 他的整个身体似乎都在摇摆。 “现在，巴里，首先，你必须学会三个命令，”安妮说。 “来，坐下，待在这儿。”巴里打了个喷嚏，好像在说：“没问题！”安妮转向杰克。 “当他服从命令时，我们会给他很多赞美。 我们应该表现得积极乐观。 我的书就是这么说的。” 杰克翻了个白眼。“肯定的，”安妮重复道。 “乐观。让我们从come开始。 我来抱他。你走开，然后停下来说：“来吧，巴里！”’”杰克叹了口气，把皮带递给安妮。 杰克走的时候，她挣扎着把巴里抱在身边

about twenty feet away. Jack turned and said, "Come, Barry!" Annie let go of the leash. Barry charged toward Jack. When he reached him, he jumped up and put his paws on Jack's shoulders. Jack fell backward into the snow. "Oww!" said Jack.

大约二十英尺远。杰克转身说：“来吧，巴里！”安妮放开了皮带。 巴里朝杰克冲去。 当他到达杰克身边时，他跳起来，把爪子放在杰克的肩膀上。 杰克向后摔倒在雪地里。 “哇！”杰克说。

"Good dog!" Annie said, clapping. Barry leaned over and slurped his tongue across Jack's face and ears. "Yuck! Stop, stop!" said Jack. He scrambled to his feet before Barry could give him more sloppy kisses. Annie ran over and patted Barry as she repeated, "Good dog, good dog." Barry's eyes were bright and happy. He panted with short quick breaths, as if he were laughing. "Good dog?" said Jack. "You've got to be kidding." "Yes! He did what you said! You said 'come,' and he came!" said Annie. "Come on, Jack. Positive! Upbeat!" "Oh, sorry," said Jack, wiping his ears with his sleeve. "I love your slobber, Barry. It's my favorite thing." "Okay, say that all over again, but use a happy voice," said Annie. "Don't be ridiculous," said Jack. "Come on, let's move along." "Right," said Annie. "I think he's got come. Here, take the leash back, and we'll do sit. Ready,

“好狗!”安妮说着拍了拍手。 巴里俯下身来，用舌头舔了舔杰克的脸和耳朵。 “啐!停，停！”杰克说。 在巴里给他更多的吻之前，他爬了起来。 安妮跑过去拍了拍巴里，重复道：“好狗，好狗。” 巴里的眼睛明亮而快乐。 他急促地喘着粗气，好像在笑。 “乖狗？”杰克说。“你在开玩笑吧。” “是啊!他照你说的做了！你说‘来’，他就来了！”安妮说。 “来吧，杰克。积极的!乐观!”“哦，对不起。”杰克说着，用袖子擦了擦耳朵。 “我喜欢你的口水，巴里。 这是我最喜欢的事情。”“好吧，再说一遍，但要用愉快的声音，”安妮说。 “别傻了，”杰克说。 “来吧，我们走吧。” “好的，”安妮说。“我想他已经来了。 来，把皮带拿回去，我们坐下来。 准备好了,

Barry? Sit!" Annie pushed down on Barry's rear end, and Barry sat. "Good dog!" Annie said. "Now pull the leash up, Jack, so he lifts his head." Jack tugged on the leash, pulling Barry's head up. The Saint Bernard looked into Jack's eyes. Then he leapt up and licked Jack's face with his huge pink tongue. Jack yelped and fell backward again into the snow. Before Barry could pounce on him, Jack scrambled to his feet, nearly tripping on his robe. "Oh, man!" he said to Barry. "What is wrong with you?" "Nothing's wrong with him, Jack," said Annie. "He just likes you!" "Well, tell him not to like me so much," said Jack. "Come on, Jack. Be positive," Annie said. "No. I'm done with training," said Jack. "You can do it by yourself. I'm going inside to read about flora and fauna in our research book." "But it's easier with two of us," said Annie. "Just one more command? Please?"

巴里吗?坐!”安妮按了一下巴瑞的屁股，巴瑞坐了下来。 “好狗!”安妮说。“现在把皮带拉起来，杰克，让他抬起头来。” 杰克拉着皮带，把巴里的头拉了起来。 圣伯纳犬凝视着杰克的眼睛。 然后它跳起来，用粉红色的大舌头舔了舔杰克的脸。 杰克大叫一声，又向后倒在雪地里。 在巴里扑向他之前，杰克爬了起来，差点被他的长袍绊倒。 “哦，天哪！”他对巴里说。 “你怎么了？”“他没事，杰克，”安妮说。 “他就是喜欢你！”“好吧，告诉他不要那么喜欢我，”杰克说。 “来吧，杰克。要积极，”安妮说。 “没有。我已经完成了训练，”杰克说。 “你可以自己做。 我要进去看看我们研究书上的动植物。” “但是我们两个人更容易，”安妮说。 “再来一个命令？”请?”

Annie looked hopefully at Jack. Barry looked at Jack, too. His tail had stopped wagging. "Oh, okay," said Jack, sighing. "One more command." "Yay, thanks!" said Annie. Barry barked and wagged his tail. "Let's try the stay command," said Annie. "We'll teach Barry to go down on all fours and stay—like all the dogs in the dining hall this morning." "He'll never be that calm," said Jack. Annie handed him the leash. "Here. Now try to gently pull Barry's head down while I press between his shoulder blades. See, I memorized all this stuff. Okay, Jack?" "Yeah, yeah," Jack said. He knelt in front of Barry and gently pulled down on the leash. Annie pushed Barry's shoulders with the palms of her hands. Barry didn't move. "I can't find his shoulder blades," said Annie. "Try this, Jack. Pull on his front legs. Pull them out in front of him." Jack grabbed Barry's forelegs and pulled. Barry jumped up and put his paws on Jack's shoulders again, knocking him into the snow for the third

安妮满怀希望地看着杰克。 巴里也看着杰克。 它的尾巴已经不摇了。 “哦，好吧。”杰克叹了口气说。 “还有一个命令。”“耶，谢谢！”安妮说。 巴里又叫又摇尾巴。 “我们试试停留命令吧，”安妮说。 “我们要教巴里四肢着地，像今天早上食堂里所有的狗一样留下来。” “他永远不会那么平静，”杰克说。 安妮把皮带递给他。 “在这里。现在试着轻轻地把巴里的头往下拉我按住他的肩胛骨。 瞧，这些东西我都背下来了。 好的,杰克?”“是的，是的，”杰克说。 他跪在巴里面前，轻轻地拉下皮带。 安妮用手掌推着巴瑞的肩膀。 巴里没有动。“我找不到他的肩胛骨，”安妮说。 “试试这个，杰克。拉上他的前腿。 把它们拉到他面前。” 杰克抓住巴里的前腿使劲拉。 巴里跳起来，又把爪子放在杰克的肩膀上，第三次把他撞到雪地里
