9. Do Something!

Chapter 9 Do Something! He didn't know what to do. Waldo was dead. He threw up the liver and died. Do something! Should he call 911? Do something! The words kept repeating inside his head. Waldo is dead. Do something! Should he get him out from under the bed? How would he even do that? Pull him by the tail? And even if he could get him out from under the bed, then what? He called home. It rang eleven times. His parents had already left for work. Do something! "I never should have given him liver," he said. He couldn't just leave Waldo there. Could he? Just go

第九章做点什么!他不知道该怎么办。 沃尔多死了。他把肝脏吐了出来，死了。 做点什么!他应该打911吗? 做点什么!这句话在他脑子里不断重复。 沃尔多死了。做点什么!他应该把他从床底下弄出来吗? 他是怎么做到的? 抓住他的尾巴?就算他能把他从床底下弄出来，那又怎样? 他打电话回家。它响了十一次。 他的父母已经去上班了。 做点什么!“我不应该给他肝脏，”他说。 他不能把沃尔多留在那里。 他能吗?就去

to school as if nothing happened? He walked around the house. He looked at himself in the bathroom mirror and noticed for the first time that he was crying. He wiped his eyes on his shirt sleeve. He walked quickly back to the phone. He called the vet. There was a recording. The office was closed until 10:00. But it gave another number to call in case of an emergency. Marvin didn't know if it was an emergency. Waldo was already dead. He dialed the emergency number anyway. Dr. Charles had said, "Let me know what happens." A woman answered the phone. "Hello." "Hello," said Marvin. "This is Marvin Redpost. I'm taking care of Mrs. North's dog, Waldo. I mean, I was. Dr. Charles said to let him know what happened. Well, he died. And I don't know what to do! I can't take him to a cemetery because—" "I'll get my husband," said the woman. Dr. Charles came on the line.

若无其事地去上学? 他在房子里走来走去。 他看着浴室镜子里的自己，第一次发现自己在哭。 他用衬衫袖子擦了擦眼睛。 他迅速走回电话旁。 他打电话给兽医。有录音。 办公室一直关闭到十点。 但它提供了紧急情况下可以拨打的另一个号码。 马文不知道是不是紧急情况。 沃尔多已经死了。他还是拨了紧急电话。 查尔斯医生说过，“告诉我发生了什么事。” 一个女人接了电话。 “你好。”“你好。”马文说。 “我是马文·雷德波斯特。我在照顾诺斯夫人的狗，沃尔多。 我是说，我是。查尔斯医生让我告诉他发生了什么事。 好吧，他死了。我不知道该怎么办!我不能带他去墓地，因为——”“我去叫我丈夫，”女人说。 查尔斯医生来电话了。

"Waldo is under the bed," Marvin told him, trying not to cry. "He won't move. He threw up all his liver and dog food. I'm just here by myself." "I'll be right over," said Dr. Charles. "Try to calm down. What's the address?" Marvin thought a moment. "I don't know," he said. "I know how to get here, but I don't know the address." "Okay, then just tell me how to get there." Marvin tried to think. "I don't know how to tell it," he said. He got an idea. "Wait, I'll go outside and check the street sign." He set down the phone and started out the door. Then he got a better idea. He had been bringing in Mrs. North's mail. He took an envelope back to the phone and read the address to Dr. Charles. "You're doing just fine," said Dr. Charles. "I'll be there in fifteen minutes." "He's in there. Under the bed," said Marvin, pointing to Mrs. North's bedroom. He waited in another room until Dr. Charles was finished. He didn't look until after Waldo's body was

“沃尔多在床底下，”马文告诉他，强忍住眼泪。 “他不动。他把肝脏和狗粮都吐了出来。 我就一个人在这里。”“我马上过去。” 查尔斯。“试着冷静下来。 地址是什么?”马文想了一会儿。 “我不知道，”他说。“我知道怎么到这里，但我不知道地址。” “好吧，那就告诉我怎么去那里。” 马文试着思考。“我不知道该怎么说，”他说。 他有了一个主意。“等等，我出去看看路牌。” 他放下电话，出门去了。 然后他有了一个更好的主意。 他一直在给诺斯太太送信。 他拿起一个信封回到电话旁，把地址读给他听。 查尔斯。“你做得很好。” 查尔斯。“我十五分钟后到。” “他在里面。在床底下。”马文指着诺斯夫人的卧室说。 他在另一个房间里等着。 查尔斯完了。他是在沃尔多的尸体被发现后才去看的

inside Dr. Charles's van. "Did the liver kill him?" Marvin asked. "Maybe I didn't cook it right?" Dr. Charles smiled. "It wasn't because of anything you did, Marvin. Waldo was just a very old dog," he said. "His time had come." Marvin watched the van drive away. He cleaned up Waldo's throw-up and flushed it down the toilet. As Dr. Charles suggested, he poured a little vinegar over the spot to get rid of the smell. He checked to make sure he still had the key, then locked the door behind him. jmkfho. He rode his bike to school.

在查尔斯医生的车里。“是肝脏害死了他吗?”马文问道。 “也许我做得不对?”博士。 查尔斯笑了。“不是因为你做了什么，马文。 沃尔多只是一只很老的狗，”他说。 “他的时代到来了。”马文看着货车开走了。 他清理了沃尔多的呕吐物然后冲进了厕所。 按照查尔斯医生的建议，他在那个地方倒了一点醋来去除臭味。 他检查了一下，确认钥匙还在，然后锁上了门。 他骑自行车去上学。
