Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Who did it?" shouted the Countess Zuzu Poodle-doo. "Who did it?" murmured the butler, MC FunkyFoot, very properly. "Who did it?" demanded Sergant Sniff. "Yum yum, this coal is dee-licious!" said Nina. "Nina, stop eating the coal. It's a precious natural resource!" I shouted. "Would you stop shouting at that goat and tell us who did it?" said everybody.

第五章是谁干的？”祖祖·普杜伯爵夫人喊道。 “是谁干的？”男管家MC FunkyFoot非常得体地低声说。 “是谁干的？” “好吃，好吃，这煤太好吃了！”尼娜说。 “尼娜，别再吃煤了。 这是一种珍贵的自然资源！”我叫道。 “你能不能别对那只山羊大喊大叫，告诉我们是谁干的？”大家都说。

"Well," I admitted, "I can't tell you exactly WHO did it, but I can give you a description." "I guess that's better than nothing," said Sergeant Sniff, taking out a notebook. "Go ahead." "First," I said. "The criminal must be very fast to be just a blur on the camera." "Hmm," said Sergeant Sniff, looking around the train station. "Second, the criminal must be very nimble to dodge all those laser-beam alarms." "Hmmmm!" said Sergeant Sniff, gazing in the general direction of Nina. "Third, the criminal must be very sure-footed to jump on and off a moving train." "Hmmmmmm!" said Sergeant Sniff, staring right at Nina. "And, finally," I said, "the thief is not a dog but is an animal with large, tough claws or even... hooves."

“嗯，”我承认，“我不能确切地告诉你是谁干的，但我可以给你一个描述。” “我想这总比什么都没有好，”嗅嗅警官说着，拿出一个笔记本。 “去吧。”“首先，”我说。 “罪犯的速度必须非常快，才能在相机上变成一个模糊的画面。” “嗯，”嗅探中士环顾了一下火车站，说道。 “其次，罪犯必须非常灵活，才能避开所有这些激光束警报。” “嗯哼！”嗅嗅警官说，眼睛盯着妮娜的大致方向。 “第三，罪犯必须脚很稳，能在行驶的火车上跳上跳下。” “嗯哼！”嗅探警官盯着尼娜说。 “最后，”我说，“小偷不是狗，而是一种长着又大又硬的爪子的动物，甚至…… 蹄。”

"HMMMM!" said Sergeant Sniff, glaring into Nina's big brown eyes. "OH NO!" I shouted. "What's the problem?" asked Nina. And she very smoothly jumped off the locomotive, nimbly took another bite out of the butler's hat while in mid-air, and sure-footedly landed on her hooves. "YOU are under arrest for the theft of the golden pickle paperweight!" hollered Sergeant Sniff, snapping a pair of hoof-cuffs around Nina's front legs. "Big steal," said Nina.

“嗯哼！”嗅探警官说，瞪着妮娜的棕色大眼睛。 “哦,不!”我叫道。“有什么问题吗？”尼娜问。 她很顺利地跳下火车头，在半空中又敏捷地咬了男管家的帽子一口，然后稳稳地用蹄子落了下来。 “你因盗窃金泡菜镇纸而被捕了！”嗅嗅警官喊道，一边在尼娜的前腿上套上一副蹄铐。 “真划算，”尼娜说。
