02-WITHIN PAW'S REACH

WITHIN PAW'S REACH Seconds later, I had my sister, Thea, on the line. "I just had a call from Trap. He may be in trouble," I told her. "And you woke me up just to tell me that?!" my sister squeaked. "I was in the middle of the most fabumouse dream. I was getting married on an enormouse yacht. Only I couldn't make out who I was marrying." I wasn't surprised about the last part. My sister has more sweethearts than I have kinds of cheeses in my oversized fridge! "Listen, Thea," I continued. "Trap said he was calling from Transratania."

几秒钟后，我的妹妹西娅接通了电话。 “我刚接到特拉普的电话。 他可能有麻烦了，”我告诉她。 “你把我吵醒就是为了告诉我这个?!”我妹妹尖叫道。 “我正在做一个最荒诞的梦。 我在一艘巨大的游艇上结婚。 只是我搞不清楚我要嫁的是谁。” 我对最后一部分并不感到惊讶。 我姐姐的甜心比我超大冰箱里的奶酪还多!“听着，西娅，”我继续说。 “特拉普说他是从特拉塔尼亚打来的。”

"Did you say Trap was calling from TRANSRATANIA?!" Thea cried. "We have to go find him right away! Let me check out the train schedule. We'd better get going!" "Wait a minute," I protested. "We can't just go scampering off. What about my job?" My sister snorted. "Your cousin's in trouble and you're worried about that silly newspaper?" Oh, yes, I forgot to mention, I run a newspaper called The Rodent's Gazette. "Really, Gerry, your heart must be frozen solid!" Thea shrieked. "you SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!" I chewed my whiskers. "Well, m-m-maybe we could go I stuttered. "We'll leave first thing tomorrow morning!" Thea declared. "The train leaves at half-past six! See you at the station!"

“你是说特拉普是从TRANSRATANIA打来的吗?!”西娅哭了。 “我们必须马上去找他!”让我查一下火车时刻表。 我们最好走吧!”“等一下，”我抗议道。 “我们不能就这么跑掉。 我的工作怎么办?”我妹妹哼了一声。 “你表弟有麻烦了，你还在担心那份愚蠢的报纸?”对了，我忘了说，我经营一份报纸叫《啮齿动物公报》。 “真的，格里，你的心一定冻得坚硬了!”西娅尖叫起来。 “你应该为自己感到羞耻!”我咬着胡须。 “嗯，也许我们可以去。”我结结巴巴地说。 “我们明天一早就走!”西娅说。 “火车六点半开!”车站见!”
