Chapter 4

CHAPTER FOUR 'Cookie! Cookie!' the four children called as they searched the village square. 'Will your cake be ready for teatime?' Julian suddenly asked.

第四章“饼干！”饼干!四个孩子一边在村里的广场上搜寻，一边喊道。 “你的蛋糕能在下午茶的时候做好吗？”朱利安突然问道。

Dick looked surprised. Why do you ask?' Julian shrugged. 'Because we're going to be famished.' 'If we'd headed back to Kirrin Cottage straight after the beach, then yes, it would be,' Dick said, checking his watch. 'Now I'm not so sure. 'There's a bakery over the road, Anne said. 'Shall we buy some buns? Aunt Fanny told me about the new owners. Her friends have been telling her how much they love their cinnamon buns, which are absolutely delicious.' 'Good idea, Julian said and they both crossed the road. Something occurred to Anne. 'You don't think Dick's cake will be good, do you?'

迪克显得很惊讶。你为什么这么问？”朱利安耸耸肩。 “因为我们快饿死了。“如果我们从海滩一走就回麒林小屋，那就对了，”迪克说着看了看表。 “现在我不那么肯定了。“马路对面有一家面包店，”安妮说。 “我们买些面包好吗？”范妮姨妈告诉了我新主人的事。 她的朋友们一直告诉她他们有多喜欢他们的肉桂包，非常好吃。“好主意，”朱利安说，于是他们俩都过了马路。 安妮突然想到一件事。 “你不认为迪克的蛋糕好吃，是吗？”

'Shh, don't tell him, Julian said in a low voice. 'I know you're talking about me,' Dick said from behind. 'You will eat your words after you've eaten my cake.'

“嘘，别告诉他，”朱利安低声说。 “我知道你在说我，”迪克从后面说。 “吃完我的蛋糕后，你就会收回你的话。”

Timmy began to bark as Julian and Anne entered the bakery. 'No dogs in here, the owner ordered. 'We're not coming in,' George called.

当朱利安和安妮走进面包店时，蒂米开始吠叫起来。 “这里不准养狗，”主人命令道。 “我们不进去了。”乔治喊道。

'Why is he sniffing the ground like that?' Dick asked. Julian and Anne emerged with a paper bag of buns and stared at Timmy. 'He's picked up a scent, George said, and she let go of Timmy's collar. 'Go and find it.

“他为什么那样嗅地面？”迪克问。 朱利安和安妮拿着一纸袋面包出来，盯着蒂米。 “它闻到了一种气味，”乔治说，她放开了蒂米的项圈。 “去把它找出来。

Timmy ran down the street and turned right into an alley. It was the back entrance to the shops. He stopped at a blue gate and wagged his tail.

蒂米沿着街道跑，右拐进了一条小巷。 这是商店的后门。 它在一扇蓝色的门前停了下来，摇了摇尾巴。
