04-TAKE ME WITH YOU!

TAKE ME WITH YOU! On my way home, I stopped by to say hello to my favorite nephew, Benjamin. He's a cute little guy with tiny Flappy ears. "Uncle, read me a story!" he cried when he saw me. So I SAT DOWN in the big, comfy chair in the den. Ben loves stories. When he was younger, he always zonked out before I had a chance to finish my tale. That's why I dedicated my book Stilton's Cheesy Tales for Tiny Mice to him.

带我一起走!在回家的路上，我顺路向我最喜欢的侄子本杰明打了个招呼。 他是一个可爱的小家伙，长着一对小耳朵。 “叔叔，给我讲个故事吧!” 于是我在书房里那把又大又舒服的椅子上坐了下来。 本喜欢听故事。当他年轻的时候，他总是在我有机会讲完我的故事之前就昏过去了。 这就是为什么我把我的书《斯蒂尔顿小老鼠的俗气故事》献给他。

"To Ben," I wrote. "May you stay awake long enough to finish this book!" Today I can hardly believe my little nephew is already nine years old! I remember when he was just a squeaky little thing, drinking cheese sauce from a baby bottle! "You're going on a trip?" Ben asked when he heard about my plans. "Oh, please, please, please take me with you, Uncle! I can be your assistant. I can carry your notebooks. And I can sharpen your pencils with my cat-tooth pencil sharpener," he pleaded. "Sorry, Ben," I said, ruffling his fur. "Maybe next time, when you're a little older."

“给本，”我写道。“愿你保持清醒，看完这本书!”今天我简直不敢相信我的小侄子已经九岁了!我记得当他还是个吱吱叫的小家伙，从奶瓶里喝起司酱的时候!“你要去旅行?”本听说我的计划后问道。 “哦，求求你，求求你，求求你带我一起去吧，叔叔!”我可以做你的助手。 我可以帮你拿笔记本。 我可以用我的猫牙卷笔刀削你的铅笔，”他恳求道。 “对不起，本，”我说着，揉了揉他的毛。 “也许下次吧，等你再大一点的时候。”

Then I laid my right paw on my HEART and tugged at my whiskers with my left paw. This is a salute that we mice use on special occasions. It means that the HEARTS of two mice who love each other will always stay connected.

然后我把右爪子放在心上，用左爪子拽我的胡须。 这是我们老鼠在特殊场合使用的敬礼。 这意味着两只相爱的老鼠的心将永远保持联系。
