2 Harry's adventure

Chapter 2 Harry's adventure Sounds like the master's in a rage again. Life was hard for the servants at Mystery Mansion. The ancient house was cold and crumbling and everyone was scared of the master, Lord Rakenhell. Ever since his son Edmund had left, ten years earlier, his bad temper had grown worse.

第二章哈利的冒险听起来像是主人又在生气了。 神秘公馆的仆人们生活艰难。 这座古老的房子又冷又摇摇欲坠，每个人都害怕主人拉肯霍尔勋爵。 自从十年前他的儿子爱德蒙离开后，他的坏脾气就越来越坏了。

They were even more scared of the butler, Mr. Paulfrey- the most important servant in the house. The least important servant, according to Mr. Paulfrey, was Harry Grubb. Harry's main job was cleaning all the boots and shoes but, however hard he tried, he could never please the butler. Scrub faster, Grubb!

他们更害怕管家保罗弗雷先生——这所房子里最重要的仆人。 据保罗弗雷先生说，最不重要的仆人是哈利·格拉布。 哈利的主要工作是清洗所有的靴子和鞋子，但无论他怎么努力，他都无法让管家满意。 快点擦洗，格拉布！

In all of Mystery Mansion, Harry liked only two people. One was Anna, the dusting maid, and the other was Miss Charlotte, Lord Rakenhell's only daughter. Harry was great friends with Anna, but he had never dared speak to Miss Charlotte.

在整个神秘大厦里，哈利只喜欢两个人。 一个是打扫房间的女仆安娜，另一个是拉肯希尔勋爵的独生女夏洛特小姐。 哈利和安娜是好朋友，但他从来不敢和夏洛特小姐说话。

One bitterly cold December day, the cook sent Harry with a message for the gamekeeper. On the way, he passed a blazing fire. He was just warming his hands over the flames, when a voice barked at him. What do you think you're doing, Grubb? It was Colly, the head gardener.

十二月里一个寒冷刺骨的日子，厨师派哈利给猎场看守人捎个信。 在路上，他经过了一堆熊熊燃烧的火。 正当他在火堆上烘手时，一个声音朝他咆哮。 你以为你在干什么，格拉布？ 是园丁头领科利打来的。

Harry explained where he was going, but Colly had other plans for him. "Put this in the hollow tree trunk by the river," he said, handing Harry a small envelope. Don't tell anyone, now! Harry raced off. But he hadn't gone far when he heard a cry from the river...

哈利解释了他要去哪里，但科利对他另有安排。 “把这个放在河边的空心树干里。”他说着，递给哈利一个小信封。 现在不要告诉任何人！哈利跑开了。 但没走多远，他就听到了河上的叫声……

It was Miss Charlotte. She had fallen through the ice and was up to her shoulders in freezing water. Help! Harry rushed to a fallen tree, broke off a branch and raced back. I'm coming!

是夏洛蒂小姐。她掉进了冰里，冻得没过肩膀。 的帮助!哈利冲到一棵倒下的树前，折下一根树枝，跑了回来。 我来了!
