Chapter 5

Chapter 5 "Who's Marion Unkenholz?" asked Josh. "I wonder if she's related to Pete," Dink said. "I think Marion is a man's name," Mrs. Mackleroy said. "The female Marian has an a instead of an o." Ruth Rose glanced at the monitor again. "The reporter who wrote the story is Susan Greene. Maybe she knows this Marion Unkenholz. Could we call her?" Mrs. Mackleroy picked up her phone and dialed information. She asked for the Coast Press in

第五章“谁是马里昂·昂肯霍尔兹?”乔希问。 “我想知道她是不是和皮特有亲戚关系，”丁克说。 “我想马里恩是个男人的名字，”麦克勒罗伊太太说。 “女玛丽安的字母是a而不是o。” 露丝·罗斯又瞥了一眼显示器。 写这篇报道的记者是苏珊·格林。 也许她认识这个马里恩·昂肯霍尔兹。 我们能打电话给她吗?”麦克勒罗伊太太拿起电话，拨通了问讯处。 她要求海岸出版社进来

Penobscot, wrote down the number, and handed the phone to Ruth Rose. Ruth Rose punched in the number, then listened. A second later, she asked to speak to Susan Greene. After a pause, she said, "Well, is there anyone else who can tell me anything about Marion Unkenholz? Your paper reported that he stole a van." Ruth Rose waited and then listened to someone else. "It is?" she said. "Oh. Well, thank you."

佩诺布斯考特写下了电话号码，把电话递给了露丝·罗斯。 露丝·罗斯打好号码，然后听着。 一秒钟后，她要求和苏珊·格林通话。 停了一下，她说:“嗯，还有谁能告诉我关于玛丽昂·昂肯霍尔兹的情况吗?” 你们的报纸报道说他偷了一辆货车。” 露丝·罗斯等着，然后听了别人的话。 “是吗?”她说。“哦。嗯，谢谢你。”

Ruth Rose handed the telephone back to Mrs. Mackleroy. "Susan Greene moved to California," she said. "But I spoke with another reporter. He remembered the stolen van because his sister works in Sugar's Bakery." "Did you find out if Pete is related to Marion?" Josh asked. Ruth Rose nodded. "Pete is Marion," she said. "Huh?" said Josh. "The reporter said the thief's full name is Marion Peter Unkenholz," Ruth Rose said. "I guess he goes by Pete." Dink just blinked at the news. He felt numb. "Could it be a different Pete Unkenholz?" he asked. Josh grinned. "Yeah, like there are a bunch of Unkenholzes running around in Pen … that place in Maine." "I'm sorry you had to get this bad news," Mrs. Mackleroy said. She took her purse from a drawer. "You're welcome to stay, but I have to get some lunch now." "Us too," Josh said. He looked at Dink and Ruth Rose.

露丝·罗斯把电话还给了麦克勒罗伊太太。 “苏珊·格林搬到加州去了，”她说。 “但我和另一位记者谈过。 他之所以记得那辆被偷的货车，是因为他姐姐在糖饼店工作。” “你查出皮特和玛丽恩有没有亲戚关系了吗?”杰克问。 露丝·罗斯点点头。“皮特是玛丽恩，”她说。 “嗯?”乔希说。“记者说小偷的全名是马里恩·彼得·昂肯霍尔兹，”露丝·罗斯说。 “我猜他叫皮特。” 丁克听到这个消息只是眨眼。 他感到麻木。“会不会是另一个皮特·昂肯霍尔兹?”他问道。 杰克笑了。“是啊，就像有一群Unkenholzes在缅因州的佩恩到处乱跑一样。” “我很抱歉让你听到这个坏消息，”麦克勒罗伊太太说。 她从抽屉里拿出钱包。 “欢迎你留下来，但我现在得去吃午饭了。” “我们也是。”乔希说。他看着丁克和露丝·罗斯。

"Okay," Dink said. "I don't know what else we can do." "Well, I have an idea," Ruth Rose said. The kids thanked Mrs. Mackleroy and left the library. "Does your idea have anything to do with lunch?" Josh asked Ruth Rose. "I'm so hungry I could eat a spider!" Ruth Rose headed down West Green Street. Dink and Josh shrugged, then followed her across Main Street. "Where are we going?" Dink asked. "To the river," Ruth Rose said, heading past the empty baseball field. "I want to check out Pete's trailer." "Why?" asked Josh. "Because I don't believe Pete is the kind of person who would take someone's van for a joyride," Ruth Rose said. "But you just told us that reporter said Pete did it!" Josh said. Ruth Rose shook her head. "I just have a feeling there has to be some other explanation," she said. "I guess I agree," Dink said. "It almost seems like Pete is two different people."

“好吧，”丁克说。“我不知道我们还能做什么。” “好吧，我有个主意，”露丝·罗斯说。 孩子们谢过麦克勒罗伊太太，离开了图书馆。 “你的想法和午餐有关吗?”乔希问露丝·罗斯。 “我饿得都能吃掉一只蜘蛛了!”露丝·罗斯朝西格林街走去。 丁克和乔希耸了耸肩，然后跟着她穿过主街。 “我们要去哪儿?”丁克问道。 “去河边，”露丝·罗斯说着，走过空荡荡的棒球场。 "我想看看皮特的拖车" “为什么?”乔希问。“因为我不相信皮特是那种会开着别人的货车去兜风的人，”露丝·罗斯说。 “但你刚刚告诉我们，那个记者说是皮特干的!”杰克说。 露丝·罗斯摇了摇头。“我只是有一种感觉，一定有其他的解释，”她说。 “我想我同意，”丁克说。 “皮特几乎像是两个不同的人。”

The kids followed a sunny path toward the river. In a clearing they saw picnic tables and fireplaces. Only one campsite was occupied. Under a tree was a small white trailer, the kind you pull behind a car or truck. A few yards away the Indian River sparkled in the sunlight. "Cool trailer," Josh whispered. "It would be fun to sleep here. You could fish from your bed!" Three aluminum steps led up to a door. Under a window was a lawn chair. A red-and-blue flannel shirt was draped over its back. The spot was quiet except for birdcalls and squirrels scampering in the leaves.

孩子们沿着一条阳光明媚的小路向河边走去。 在一块空地上，他们看到了野餐桌和壁炉。 只有一个营地被占领。 树下有一辆白色的小拖车，就是你拖在汽车或卡车后面的那种。 几码远的地方，印第安河在阳光下闪闪发光。 “很酷的拖车。”乔什小声说。 “睡在这里一定很有趣。 你可以在床上钓鱼!”三个铝台阶通向一扇门。 窗户下面放着一把草坪椅。 它的背上披着一件红蓝相间的法兰绒衬衫。 除了鸟鸣和松鼠在树叶间蹦蹦跳跳的声音外，这个地方很安静。

Josh picked up the shirt, then put it back on the chair. "How do we know if this is Pete's trailer?" he asked. Dink walked around the trailer. "I think it is," he said. "Look at this." Josh and Ruth Rose followed him. Dink pointed to the license plate. It was from Maine.

乔希拿起衬衫，然后放回椅子上。 “我们怎么知道这是不是皮特的拖车?”他问。 丁克在拖车里走来走去。 “我想是的，”他说。“看看这个。” 乔希和露丝·罗斯跟着他。 丁克指着车牌。 它来自缅因州。
