THE FAMOUS FIVE ADVENTURES WHEN TIMMY CHASED THE CAT!

著名的提米追猫的五次冒险！

CHAPTER ONE 'What are you going to do today?' said Aunt Fanny to the Five. They all looked up from their books- except Timmy, who looked up from the bone he was gnawing. 'We ought to go for a walk, I suppose, said Julian. 'But the wind's so bitter today. I always think January is a pretty dreary month, unless there's snow- or we can go skating.'

第一章“今天你打算做什么？”范妮姨妈对那五个人说。 他们都从书本上抬起头来——除了蒂米，他从啃骨头上抬起头来。 “我想我们应该去散散步，”朱利安说。 “可是今天风太大了。 我一直认为一月是一个相当沉闷的月份，除非下雪——或者我们可以去滑冰。”

'But there's no snow, and no ice- only this horrible, freezing wind,' said Anne. 'I'd just as soon stay in and read my Christmas books!' 'Oh no- we must go out, said George at once. 'What about Timmy? He's got to have his usual walk. Timmy's ears pricked up at once when he heard that word. Walk! Ha- just what he was wanting! He got up at once and ran to George, whining. She patted him. 'All right, all right, Tim -we'll leave Anne here with her books, and we'll go out for a nice long walk.' 'Would you like to go to the cinema in Beckton?' asked her mother. 'There's a good film on today, about circus life. I'll pay for you all, if you'd like to go this afternoon.'

“可是没有雪，也没有冰——只有这可怕的、刺骨的风。”安妮说。 “我宁愿呆在家里读我的圣诞书！”“哦，不——我们必须出去，”乔治马上说。 “蒂米怎么样？”他得像往常一样散步。 蒂米听到那个词时立刻竖起了耳朵。 走了!哈——这正是他想要的！他立刻站起来，呜咽着跑向乔治。 她拍拍他。“好吧，好吧，蒂姆——我们把安妮留在这儿看她的书，我们出去好好地散个步。“你想去贝克顿看电影吗？”她母亲问。 “今天有一部关于马戏团生活的好电影。 如果你们今天下午想去的话，我来付你们的钱。"

'Mum- I think you're trying to get rid of us!' said George. 'Well- in a way I am,' said her mother, with a laugh. 'Your dad has two friends coming to see him this afternoon- and I really think it would be easier if you were out of the house.' 'Oh, I see,' said George. 'Two more of his scientist friends, I suppose. Well, I'd just as soon be out in that case. It's awful not even to be able to sneeze in case I get into trouble for making a noise.'

“妈妈——我想你是想摆脱我们！”乔治说。 “嗯——在某种程度上我是，”她母亲笑着说。 “今天下午你爸爸有两个朋友要来看他——我真的认为如果你不在家的话会容易些。”“哦，我明白了，”乔治说。 “我想又是他的两个科学家朋友吧。 那样的话，我还是出去好了。 甚至连打喷嚏都不能打，这太可怕了，因为我怕出声而惹上麻烦。”
