Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO The Five set off half an hour later, with sandwiches and slices of fruit cake in a knapsack carried by Julian. Dick had a basket for any nuts or blackberries. His aunt had promised a blackberry-and-apple pie if they did find any berries for picking.

第二章五人半小时后出发了，朱利安背着一个背包，里面装着三明治和水果蛋糕片。 迪克有一个篮子装坚果和黑莓。 他的姨妈答应过，如果他们找到可以摘的浆果，就给他们做一个黑莓苹果派。

Timmy was very happy. He trotted along with the others, sniffing here and there, and barking at a curled-up hedgehog in a hole in a bank. 'Now, leave it alone,' said George. 'You really should have learnt by now that hedgehogs are not meant to be carried in your mouth, Timmy! Don't wake it up- it's gone to sleep for the winter!' 'It's a heavenly day for the beginning of November,' said Anne. 'The trees still have their leaves- all colours: red, yellow, brown, pink- and the beeches are the colour of gold.' 'Blackberries!' said Dick, catching sight of a bush whose sprays were still covered with the black fruit. 'I say- taste them- they're as sweet as sugar!'

蒂米很高兴。他和其他动物一起小跑着，到处嗅嗅，对着一个银行洞里蜷缩着的刺猬吠叫。 “好了，别管它。”乔治说。 “到现在为止，你真应该明白刺猬是不能放在嘴里叼着的，蒂米！”别吵醒它——它冬眠去了！“这是十一月初的天堂，”安妮说。 “这些树的叶子还保留着——各种颜色：红色、黄色、棕色、粉色——山毛榉的颜色是金色的。”“黑莓!迪克说，他看到了一丛灌木，它的喷雾上仍然覆盖着黑色的果实。 “我说——尝尝吧——它们像糖一样甜！”

As soon as the blackberries were to be seen on bushes here and there, the Five slowed up considerably! The blackberries that were still left were big and full of sweetness.

只要看到到处都有黑莓出现在灌木丛中，那五个人就大大地放慢了速度！剩下的黑莓又大又甜。

'They melt in my mouth!' said George. 'Try one, Timmy!' But Timmy spat the blackberry out in disgust. 'Manners, Timmy, manners!' said Dick at once, and Timmy wagged his big tail and pranced round joyfully.

“它们在我嘴里融化了！”乔治说。 “尝尝，蒂米！”但蒂米厌恶地把黑莓吐了出来。 “礼貌，蒂米，礼貌！”迪克立刻说，蒂米摇着大尾巴，高兴地跳来跳去。
