Chapter 3

CHAPTER THREE In a few minutes' time not one of the four was awake.

过了几分钟，四个人一个也没有醒过来。

Books lay unopened on the ground. A small beetle ran over Anne's bare leg, and she didn't even feel it.

书没打开就躺在地上。 一只小甲虫从安妮裸露的腿上碾过，她甚至没有感觉到。

A robin hopped on to a branch just above Dick's face, but his eyes were closed and he didn't see it.

一只知更鸟跳到迪克脸上方的一根树枝上，但他闭着眼睛，没有看见。

It certainly was a hot afternoon. Nobody was about at all. Not a sound was to be heard except for the running water nearby,

那的确是一个炎热的下午。 周围根本没有人。除了附近的流水声外，什么声音也听不到。

and a yellowhammer somewhere who persisted in saying that he wanted 'a little bit of bread and no cheese'. The four were as sound asleep as if they were in bed.

还有一个黄客，他坚持说他要“一点面包，不要奶酪”。 四个人睡得很熟，就像在床上一样。

And then, far away on a road that bordered the wood, a motorbike came by. It had a sidecar, and it made quite a noise.

就在这时，一辆摩托车从远处与树林接壤的路上开了过来。 它有一个挎斗，发出很大的噪音。
