Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6 'Quit struggling, it won't do you any good,' the cat carrying her laughed, as he swung her round and dumped her on the floor. Toto could sense she was by a river; she could hear the swirling water down below and smell the moisture in the air. She was furious with herself- how had she been so stupid to relax all her ninja instincts and ignore all the clues? The faint smell

第六章“别挣扎了，这对你没有任何好处，”抱着她的猫笑着说，他把她转过身来，把她扔在地板上。 托托能感觉到她在河边；她能听到下面的水声，还能闻到空气中的湿气。 她对自己大发雷霆——她怎么会如此愚蠢地放松了自己的忍者本能，忽视了所有的线索？ 淡淡的气味

of Camembert, the disguised ARCHDUKE FERDICAT goading her about bad dreams on the train, the henchcat insisting she visit Jonny alone... IT WAS ALL SO OBVIOUS! And now she was in real danger of drowning before she could warn anyone. 'CHUCK HER IN QUICK,' she heard one of the gang say. 'I don't wanna miss that Cicada Choir.' 'Sorry, little ninja, but looks like this is one PICKLE you can't get yourself out of...' One of the henchcats was just about to kick the sack down the bank of the river when there was a noise from a crop of bushes behind them. 'What are you 'orrible lot up to? Lutra

卡芒贝尔，乔装打扮的费迪卡大公在火车上催她做噩梦，那只跟班坚持要她单独去看乔尼…… 这一切都是显而易见的！现在她还没来得及警告任何人，就已经有溺水的危险了。 “快把她扔进去，”她听到团伙中的一个人说。 “我不想错过蝉合唱团。“对不起，小忍者，但看起来这是一个你无法摆脱的泡菜……”一只心腹猫正要把麻袋踢到河岸上，这时他们身后的灌木丛里传来一阵响声。 “你们这些可怕的家伙在干什么？” Lutra

would not take too kindly to you dumping rubbish in her river. Toto recognised that cheeky London accent- it was the little kitten who'd snuck in to the festival, SOCKS! She let out a muffled cry for help, and received a quick kick in the side for her troubles. 'Never you mind, PIPSQUEAK,' one of the big cats said menacingly. 'If you know what's good for you, turn around now and make your way back to the festival- this don't concern you. 'That's where we disagree. Poking my nose in where it isn't wanted is the best way to SNIFF OUT TROUBLE. I've been following you since you left camp, and I

她不会太喜欢你在她的河里倾倒垃圾。 托托听出了那厚脸皮的伦敦口音——这是偷偷溜进节日的小猫，袜子！她发出一声低沉的呼救声，由于她的麻烦，她的侧面被狠狠地踢了一下。 “别介意，PIPSQUEAK，”其中一只大猫威胁道。 “如果你知道什么对你有好处，现在就掉头回音乐节去吧——这不关你的事。” 这就是我们的分歧所在。 把我的鼻子伸到不需要的地方是嗅出麻烦的最好方法。 你离开营地后我就一直在跟踪你，我

can tell you're up to no good. So, meathead, I'm asking again nicely: WHAT'S IN THE BAG?' Toto could barely believe what she was hearing. She had to admire the little fella; he certainly was brave to stand up to cats who were five times his size. She hoped she could make enough commotion to get his attention and she'd have to keep her paws crossed he'd be able to raise the alarm. She took a deep breath and howled as loud as she could- 'MMMEEEO0OWWW!'- and waved her paws about. The sack was so thick she worried he wouldn't hear her. She tried again: 'MMEEEOOOWWW!' Socks' ears pricked up. Toto could hear him moving slowly towards her.

看得出来你不怀好意。 所以，笨蛋，我再客气地问你一遍：袋子里装的是什么？”托托几乎不能相信她所听到的。 她不得不佩服这个小家伙；他确实很勇敢，敢于对抗比他大五倍的猫。 她希望自己能引起足够的骚动，引起他的注意，这样她就得把爪子交叉起来，让他能发出警报。 她深吸了一口气，尽可能大声地嚎叫着——“嗯……——挥舞着她的爪子。 袋子太厚了，她担心他听不见。 她又试了一次：“mmeeeoooww !”袜子竖起了耳朵。 托托能听见他慢慢地向她走来。

"Ere, that came from the sack. Is there someone in there?' he demanded. 'No there's not!' one of the gang insisted. 'It's, err, Jonny's fan mail. He gets so much of it that we have to dump it, so we brought it down here to have a fire...' He trailed off. Toto could sense that Socks was closer now. Maybe he'd be able to hear her properly? She shouted as loud as she could. 'SOCKS! IT'S TOTO! GET HELP, ADF IS BACK!' The little cat froze, stared at the sack, then at the henchcats, then at the sack again. The gang stared back. For a second no one was sure what to do, then the leader of the gang screamed, 'GET HIM!' Socks bolted and all three of the massive

“喂，那是从袋子里出来的。 有人在里面吗？他问。 “不，没有！”其中一个坚持说。 “呃，是强尼的粉丝来信。 他得到的太多了，我们不得不把它倒掉，所以我们把它带到这里来生火……”他的声音越来越小。 托托能感觉到索克斯现在离他更近了。 也许他能听清她的声音？ 她尽可能大声地喊着。 “袜子!托托!快去救他，他回来了！”小猫呆住了，盯着麻袋，又盯着笼猫，又盯着麻袋。 那帮人也盯着他看。一时间，大家都不知道该怎么办，然后那伙人的头目尖叫道：“抓住他！”短袜螺栓和所有三个大块头
