Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 'I cannot believe that Larry is your boss, said Silver excitedly as the cats headed down the leafy crescent where they lived, towards the animal tube that would take them into central London. 'He's soooo cool. Do you think he likes me?' he added. 'When we met him before I think he sort of thought I was a ninja too, right? I mean, it's understandable, I do

“我真不敢相信拉里是你的老板，”西尔弗兴奋地说，这时猫们正沿着它们住的枝繁叶茂的新月形街道朝通往伦敦市中心的动物通道走去。 “他太酷了。你觉得他喜欢我吗？他补充道。 “我们之前见到他的时候，我想他也觉得我是个忍者，对吧？” 我是说，这是可以理解的

know loads of the moves now. Oh sis, maybe he'll ask us to hang out more, imagine that! Pizza night around Larry's. It'll be the best! Sis... sis?' Toto wasn't listening to her brother fan- boying about Larry. She was in a world of her own, thinking about what lay ahead. Her first PROPER MISSION! Yes, she'd tackled an enormous snake, two tigers, and an army of rats, but this? This was different, this time someone else would be relying on her. This was the role she had been trained for. She would be expected to carry out her duties and not let her Order down. She didn't want to admit it, even to Silver, but she was more than a little nervous. 'You know, I DO think he thought I was

现在知道很多招式了。 哦，姐姐，也许他会让我们多出去玩，想象一下！拉里家的披萨之夜。 这将是最好的！姐姐……姐姐?”托托没有听她哥哥对拉里的戏谑。 她沉浸在自己的世界里，思考着前方的路。 她的第一个正式任务！是的，她对付过一条巨蛇，两只老虎，还有一群老鼠，但这次呢？ 这次不一样，这次会有别人依靠她。 这就是她所接受的训练。 她应该履行自己的职责，而不是让骑士团失望。 她不想承认这一点，即使是对西尔弗，但她非常紧张。 “你知道，我确实认为他认为我是

a ninja when he first met me, and I distinctly remember he looked impressed with my tail: Silver was STILL banging on about Larry as they rounded the crescent and came to the street that separated the cats from the tube station. It looked very different from the last time they were there, which had been in the middle of the night. Then, the street had been deserted. Now, it was VERY busy. Taxis and red buses, bikes and scooters, and LOTS of humans. Flustered tourists, shoppers laden with bags, Rastafarians, buskers, school kids, market traders and spiky haired punks- all oblivious to the cats under their feet. 'I have to be honest, shouted Silver over

我清楚地记得，他对我的尾巴留下了深刻的印象。西尔弗还在喋喋不休地谈论着拉里，他们绕过新月街，来到猫和地铁站之间的那条街。 这与他们上次在那里的时候大不相同，上次是在半夜。 那时，街上已经空无一人。 现在，它非常繁忙。出租车和红色公共汽车，自行车和摩托车，还有很多人。 慌乱的游客、提着大包小包的购物者、拉斯塔法里教徒、街头艺人、学生、市场商人和头发尖尖的朋克——他们都没有注意到脚下的猫。 “我得说实话，”西尔弗喊道

the noise of the busy traffic, 'I don't think we've given this enough thought. Any ideas how get to the other side?' But Toto was already in ninja mode. She was, of course, almost totally blind, but she was using her other senses and Silver could see she was forming a plan. Toto, standing completely still and focused, seemed to be counting the seconds between each passing vehicle. She took a deep breath and turned to her brother. 'Climb on board!' Silver knew what to do, although getting a piggy back from his sister made him feel a little silly. 'OK, sis, don't do anything without letting me knoowwwww-' he was saying

繁忙交通的噪音，我认为我们对这个问题考虑得还不够。 你知道怎么去另一边吗？”但托托已经进入忍者模式了。 当然，她几乎完全看不见，但她在用其他感官，西尔弗看得出她在制定一个计划。 托托一动不动地站着，集中注意力，似乎在数着每辆过往车辆之间的秒数。 她深吸了一口气，转向哥哥。 “快上船！”西尔弗知道该怎么做，尽管从姐姐那里拿回一只小猪让他觉得有点傻。 “好吧，姐姐，别在不告诉我的情况下做任何事——”他在说
