6. Scar Finger

Chapter 6 Scar Finger "Clues to what?" Nate asked. "We want to find Douglas's owner, right?" Bradley said. He pointed at the hand holding the tiny rabbit. "If this is his owner's hand, maybe we can find out who it is!" They all stared at the picture. Bradley's mother reached over and pointed with her mixing spoon. "Well, we can tell that it's a man's right hand," she said. "Boy, he has hairy knuckles!" Nate said. "And he's got a scar on his little finger," Lucy put in. The kids bent closer to the picture. "The scar is shaped like the letter C," Bradley said.

第六章伤疤手指“什么线索？”内特问道。 “我们想找到道格拉斯的主人，对吧？”布拉德利说。 他指着抱着小兔子的那只手。 “如果这是他主人的手，也许我们能找出是谁！”他们都盯着那幅画。 布拉德利的母亲伸出手，用她的调羹指了指。 “嗯，我们可以看出这是一个男人的右手，”她说。 “天哪，他的指关节多毛！”内特说。 “他的小指上有一道伤疤。”露茜插嘴说。 孩子们更靠近那幅画。 “伤疤的形状像字母C，”布拉德利说。

"Cool," Nate said. "Now we just have to find a hairy guy with that scar on his right pinkie." "Lots of luck," Brian said. Lucy studied the picture showing Douglas on a patch of grass. "He must live somewhere with a lawn," she said. "And tall hedges." "That's about half the yards in Green Lawn," Nate said. "Even we have hedges!" Bradley took a closer look at the picture. "He grows vegetables," he said. "See, those are tomatoes." Bradley's mother set four mugs and a bag of marshmallows on the table. "Careful, it's hot!" she said. They thanked Mrs. Pinto and took noisy sips. "Well, we'll never find the vegetable garden," Brian said. He pointed out the kitchen window. "There's a foot of snow in everyone's yard." "What about other clues?" Lucy asked. She picked up the picture that showed Douglas sitting on the wooden bench. "Are there any benches like this in Green Lawn?"

“酷，”内特说。“现在我们只需要找到一个右小指上有伤疤的毛茸茸的家伙。” “祝你好运，”布莱恩说。 露西端详着道格拉斯在一片草地上的照片。 “他一定住在有草坪的地方，”她说。 “还有高高的树篱。”“那大约是绿草坪一半的码，”内特说。 “我们也有树篱！”布拉德利仔细看了看这张照片。 “他种蔬菜，”他说。 “看，那些是西红柿。” 布拉德利的妈妈在桌子上放了四个杯子和一袋棉花糖。 “小心，很热！”她说。 他们谢过平托太太，大声地喝了一小口。 “好吧，我们永远也找不到菜园了，”布莱恩说。 他指着厨房的窗户。 “每个人的院子里都有一英尺厚的雪。” “那其他线索呢？”露西问。 她拿起那张道格拉斯坐在木凳上的照片。 “绿草坪有这样的长椅吗？”

Bradley studied the picture. "Guys, I don't think this is a bench," he said. "Then what is it?" Brian asked, taking the picture. "I think it's a seat in a rowboat," Bradley said. "See the water behind it? And that's not a railing, it's the outside of the boat." Bradley opened a drawer under the counter. He pulled out a magnifying glass and held it over the picture. "It says S-K-I on the side of the boat," he said. Brian grinned. "Ron's Bait Shop has boats for rent," he said. "Ron's last name is Pinkowski, and people call him Ski." "Awesome!" Nate said. "Let's go ask him if he knows anyone with a rabbit." "It's February," Brian said. "Mr. Pinkowski rents out boats in the summertime." Bradley shook his head. "He sells bait for ice fishing, too." He grabbed the three pictures. "What are we waiting for?" he asked.

布拉德利仔细研究了这张照片。 “伙计们，我不认为这是板凳，”他说。 “那是什么？”布莱恩一边拍照一边问。 布拉德利说：“我认为这是划艇上的一个座位。” “看到后面的水了吗？”那不是栏杆，那是船的外面。” 布拉德利打开柜台下面的一个抽屉。 他拿出一个放大镜，举在照片上。 “船舷上写着S-K-I，”他说。 布莱恩笑了。“罗恩的鱼饵店有船出租，”他说。 “罗恩姓平考斯基，人们都叫他斯基。” “棒极了!”内特说。“我们去问问他是否认识养兔子的人。” “现在是二月，”布莱恩说。 “平科夫斯基先生在夏天出租船只。” 布拉德利摇了摇头。“他也卖冰钓的鱼饵。” 他抓住了那三张照片。 “我们还在等什么？”他问。
