Chapter 2

CHAPTER TWO They came to the village, and George went to the hairdresser's shop while the others went on with Timmy to the dairy, which sold good creamy ice-creams. They heard George calling them and turned.

第二章他们来到了村子，乔治去了理发店，其他人和蒂米一起去了奶牛场，那里卖好吃的奶油冰淇淋。 他们听到乔治在叫他们，就转过身来。

'The shop's shut! It's early-closing day,' she shouted. I forgot. Now I can't have my hair cut.' 'Well, never mind- come and have an ice-cream,' shouted back Julian. But George was in an obstinate mood. 'No. I want my hair cut, even if I have to cut it myself! Anybody got a pair of scissors?' 'Of course not. Who carries scissors about? Don't be an idiot!' said Dick. 'For goodness' sake come on with us and stop worrying about your hair.'

“商店关门了！”“今天关门很早，”她喊道。 我忘记了。现在我不能剪头发了。“好吧，没关系——来吃个冰淇淋吧，”朱利安喊道。 但是乔治的情绪很固执。 “不。我想剪头发，即使我必须自己剪！有人有剪刀吗？”“当然不是。 谁随身带着剪刀？ 别犯傻了！迪克说。 “看在上帝的份上，跟我们走吧，别再担心你的头发了。”

'I'll go and borrow some scissors in the ironmonger's,' shouted George. 'They're shut, too, but I know old Mr Pails will let me in at the side door. You go on with Timmy and have ice-creams. I don't want one. I'll catch you up when I'm ready.'

“我要去铁器店借几把剪刀。”乔治喊道。 “门也关着，不过我知道老保尔斯先生会让我从侧门进去的。 你和蒂米一起去吃冰淇淋吧。 我不想要。等我准备好了再来找你。”

'What an idiot George is,' said Dick, going on with the others. 'Once she's made up her mind to do something, nothing will stop her, not even if it doesn't really matter.'

“乔治真是个白痴，”迪克一边说，一边继续跟其他人说话。 “一旦她下定决心要做某件事，什么也阻止不了她，即使这件事真的无关紧要。”

They went to the dairy. George went round to the side door of the ironmonger's shop. Mr Pails answered her knock. Well, George, what do you want?' he said. 'My shop's shut, as you very well know, and I'm just going to catch the bus over to my son's, as I always do on early-closing day. 'I won't keep you more than a minute,' said George. 'I want to borrow a pair of nice sharp scissors, Mr Pails. Only just for a minute or two. The bus doesn't go for ten minutes; you've got plenty of time.'

他们去了牛奶场。乔治绕到铁器店的侧门。 桶先生应声敲门。 乔治，你想要什么？他说。 "你很清楚，我的商店关门了，我正准备乘公共汽车到我儿子家去，在打烊的日子里，我总是这样做的。 “我不会耽搁你超过一分钟的，”乔治说。 “我想借一把又好又锋利的剪刀，桶先生。 就一两分钟而已。 公共汽车十分钟后才开；你有的是时间。”
