Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO The children laid out their picnic blanket and spread out the food. In no time at all they were happily munching away. 'This is awfully good,' said Dick, taking a large bite from a sausage roll.

孩子们铺好野餐毯，把食物摊开。 他们很快就愉快地大嚼起来了。 “太好吃了，”迪克说着，从香肠卷上咬了一大口。

'Isn't it?' Anne agreed. On the other side of the bay, sheep were grazing peacefully in a clifftop field and the Five could make out tiny lambs jumping around their mothers.

“不是吗?”安妮同意了。在海湾的另一边，羊群正在悬崖顶上的田野里平静地吃草，五人可以辨认出小羊羔在妈妈身边跳来跳去。

Anne borrowed Julian's binoculars and trained them on the field. 'Oh, there's a very little one over there, she said, pointing. 'It's so much smaller than all the others. How sweet!'

安妮借了朱利安的双筒望远镜，在球场上训练它们。 “哦，那边有一只很小的，”她指着说。 “它比其他的都小得多。 多么甜蜜!”

'Hey!' Julian cried out as a seagull swooped in to pick up a sandwich. Then it glided back up into the sky, squawking loudly before gobbling it down. His sister giggled. 'You'd better hold on to your next sandwich, Ju,' she said.

“嘿!”朱利安叫了起来，这时一只海鸥突然飞过来叼起一块三明治。 然后它滑回天空，在狼吞虎咽之前大声地叫着。 他的妹妹咯咯地笑。“你最好抓紧吃下一个三明治，朱，”她说。

Before long, the children felt deliciously full. They had finished all the food, except for the cake, which they carefully wrapped up for tea later. 'The wind's starting to pick up and I don't like the look of those rain clouds over there, said Julian. 'Perhaps we should pack up and forget our plan of going for a swim.'

没过多久，孩子们就吃饱了。 他们吃完了所有的食物，只剩下蛋糕，他们小心翼翼地把蛋糕包起来，准备稍后喝茶。 “风开始变大了，我不喜欢那边那些雨云的样子，”朱利安说。 “也许我们应该收拾行李，忘记游泳的计划。”
