Chapter 4

CHAPTER FOUR A basket of fresh scones was dropped off at the village hall by Simi's father. They looked delicious.

第四章司密的父亲把一篮子新鲜的司康饼送到村委会。 它们看起来很好吃。

Dick rubbed his tummy. 'I'm going to cross my fingers that we win now, he said. Anne rolled her eyes. 'Honestly, you only ever think about food.' Food is good, Dick said seriously.

迪克揉了揉肚子。他说，我要祈祷我们现在能赢。 安妮翻了个白眼。“老实说，你只想着吃的。”食物很好吃，迪克严肃地说。

Anne turned to Julian, who was staring at the far end of the hall. Julian, what are you looking at?' she asked. 'That's the man who bumped into Aunt Fanny on the way here, Julian said in a low voice.

安妮转向朱利安，后者正盯着大厅的另一端。 朱利安，你在看什么？她问。 “他就是来这儿的路上撞见范妮姨妈的那个人。”朱利安低声说。

Anne, Dick and George followed Julian's gaze. 'Yes, it is...' George agreed. The man was holding the teapot up to the light. 'He's looking at the tea set very closely, Julian announced. 'And he's soaking wet!'

安妮、迪克和乔治跟随着朱利安的目光。 “是的，是……”乔治同意了。 那人把茶壶举到灯前。 “他正在仔细地看茶具，”朱利安宣布。 “他全身都湿透了！”

Anne frowned. She wasn't sure why Julian had pointed that out. George understood first. 'He must have been the person who went through the fire exit and into the rain!' she exclaimed.

安妮皱起了眉头。她不确定朱利安为什么要指出这一点。 乔治先明白了。“他一定就是那个从消防出口跑进雨里的人！”她叫道。
