Chapter 2

6 The Human Lady's Home 'Here we are,' the Human Lady said. She carried Dave across a neatly cropped lawn, lined with yellow and purple flowers. Her front door was bright orange with a golden, sunflower-shaped knocker. Mean Cat had skulked behind the Human Lady the entire walk back to her home. She hissed and spat at me as I

人类女士的家“我们到了，”人类女士说。 她抱着戴夫走过一片修剪整齐的草坪，草坪上种满了黄色和紫色的花朵。 她的前门是亮橙色的，有一个向日葵形状的金色门环。 在回家的路上，贱猫一直躲在人类女士的后面。 她对我发出嘘声，并朝我吐口水

followed, careful to keep my distance from the menacing terror. 'What's going on?' a voice called out. We all turned to watch a red-faced Little Human ride his scooter over the lawn towards us. He spotted my injured friend straight away, and plonked his bottom down on the grass. He tugged off his left shoe and pulled off his sock, releasing smells of something similar to a cheese and pickle sandwich. 'Take this,' he said, waving the sweaty sock at the Human Lady. 'You can use it as a bandage.' He then grabbed a bottle from the bag hanging on the front of his scooter and opened it, tipping some water into the lid.

我跟在后面，小心翼翼地与恐怖的威胁保持距离。 “发生了什么事？”一个声音喊道。 我们都转过身来，看着一个红着脸的小矮人骑着他的摩托车穿过草坪向我们走来。 他一眼就认出了我受伤的朋友，把屁股扑通一声放在草地上。 他脱下左脚的鞋子，脱下袜子，释放出类似奶酪和泡菜三明治的气味。 “拿着这个。”他说着，朝人类女士挥舞着那只汗湿的袜子。 “你可以把它当绷带用。”然后，他从挂在摩托车前面的袋子里拿了一个瓶子，打开它，把一些水倒进盖子里。

Me and the Little Human watched as the Human Lady wrapped my friend up tightly in the damp sock, and fed him some water. Dave gulped down the drink and shrank back into the Human Lady's hands. 'Is he yours?' the Little Human asked. 'I think he is now.' The Human Lady smiled. 'I'm going to make sure he gets better.' 'What's his name?' the Little Human said, stroking my friend's head. 'I think I'll call him Dave,' replied the Human Lady. 'And who's that?' They were both looking at me. The Little Human's arm stretched out so long that his plump finger almost brushed my beak.

我和小人类看着人类女士把我的朋友紧紧地裹在潮湿的袜子里，喂他一些水。 戴夫一饮而尽，缩回到人类女士的手里。 “他是你的吗？”小矮人问。 “我想他现在是。”人类女士笑了。 “我要确保他好起来。“他叫什么名字？”小矮人抚摸着我朋友的头说。 “我想我就叫他戴夫吧，”人类女士回答。 “那是谁？”他们都看着我。 小矮人的胳膊伸得那么长，他那胖乎乎的手指几乎碰到了我的嘴。

'Oh, he's just another pigeon,' she said. 'What's his name?' The Human Lady shrugged her shoulders. 'What do you think we should call him?' 'How about... Another Pigeon?' 'I'm sure we can do better than that!' The Little Human stuck his face in

“哦，他只不过是另一只鸽子，”她说。 “他叫什么名字？”人类女士耸了耸肩。 “你认为我们应该叫他什么？”“要不……” 另一个鸽子?“我相信我们可以做得更好！”小矮人把脸伸了进去

mine and stared hard. 'What about Prince Googlybrain Sizzlepants Ninja Mallet Face Wheely Shmeely Pancakeness Snotball Jelly?' I shook my head at the Human Lady, praying she would say no. 'Perhaps something a little less snotbally?' the Human Lady said. The Little Human tickled the feathers on my back with his podgy fingers. 'He smells a bit like the toilet after my Grandpa Skipper uses it.' 'Skipper is perfect!' the Human Lady said. 'I was thinking Toilet.' 'He's definitely a Skipper,' she said quickly.

我的眼睛紧紧盯着。“那谷歌脑袋王子、热裤忍者、木槌脸、滚雪球果冻呢？”我对人类女士摇了摇头，祈祷她不会说不。 “要不找点不那么刻薄的？”人类夫人说。 小矮人用他胖乎乎的手指挠我背上的羽毛。 “它闻起来有点像斯基珀爷爷用过的马桶。“斯基普太完美了！”人类夫人说。 “我在想厕所。“他绝对是个船长，”她赶紧说。

The Little Human stroked my head one more time and shouted, 'Bye Skipper!' as he charged off, leaving track marks across the lawn and flower beds. The Human Lady jiggled her hand in her bag, following the sound of her keys. 'Are you OK?' I called out to my friend. 'She wants you to call me Dave,' Dave replied, his voice weak. 'Are you OK, Dave?' 'Yes, but you need to keep that cat away from me,' he said. The Human Lady opened the front

小矮人又一次抚摸着我的头，喊道：“再见，船长！”他冲了出去，在草坪和花坛上留下了痕迹。 人类女士的手在包里抖动着，跟着钥匙的声音。 “你还好吗？”我大声叫着我的朋友。 “她想让你叫我戴夫，”戴夫回答，声音很弱。 “你还好吗，戴夫？”“是的，但你得让那只猫离我远点，”他说。 人类女士打开了前门
