Time for Lunch!

Time for lunch.

该吃午饭啦。

One day Pip was walking home from the library. A fox was following her, but she wasn't scared. Pip wasn't big or strong, but she was a clever little chick. Suddenly the fox jumped out. How are you little chick? he said. I'm fine, thank you, said Pip. No, you're not, snarled the fox. I'm going to eat you for my lunch.

有一天，皮普正从图书馆走回家。 一只狐狸跟在她身后，但她一点也不害怕。 皮普个头不大，也不强壮，但她是只聪明的小鸡仔。 狐狸突然跳了出来。 “你好呀，小鸡仔？”他说道。 “我很好，谢谢你呀。”皮普说。 “不，你才不好。”狐狸恶狠狠地吼道。 “我要把你当午饭吃掉。”

The fox licked his lips and opened his mouth wide. Wait! shouted Pip. You can't eat a chick for lunch without bread. Can't I? said the fox. No, it says so in my book, said Pip. The fox thought about this. He did like sandwiches. I'll get some bread, he said. Wait here. He started to run to the farmer's house. Then he stopped. You can't trick me, he said. I'm taking you with me.

狐狸舔了舔嘴唇，把嘴张得大大的。 “等等！”皮普大喊道。 “吃鸡肉当午饭哪能没有面包呀。” “不行吗？”狐狸说。 “对呀，我的书里就是这么写的。”皮普说。 狐狸琢磨了一下这话。 他确实很喜欢吃三明治。 “我去拿点面包，”他说，“在这儿等着。” 他开始往农夫家跑。 然后他停了下来。 “你别想骗我，”他说，“我得带着你一起去。”

The Fox went to the farmer's house and took some bread. Time for lunch, said the Fox. Wait! shouted Pip. You can't eat a chick sandwich without salt. Can't I? said the Fox. No, it says so in my book, said Pip.

狐狸去了农夫家，拿了些面包。 “该吃午饭啦。”狐狸说。 “等等！”皮普大喊道。 “吃鸡肉三明治哪能没有盐呀。” “不行吗？”狐狸说。 “对呀，我的书里就是这么写的。”皮普说。

The Fox thought about this. He did like salt on his sandwiches. I'll get some salt, he said. The Fox took some salt from the farmer's house. He put it on his sandwich.

狐狸琢磨了一下这话，他确实喜欢在三明治上加盐。 “我去拿点盐。”他说。 狐狸从农夫家拿了些盐。 他把盐撒在了三明治上。

Time for lunch, said the fox. Wait! shouted Pip. You can't eat a chick sandwich without pepper. Why not? asked the fox. It says so in my book, said Pip. The fox thought about this. He was very hungry. But he did want his lunch to be the best. I'll get some pepper, he said.

“该吃午饭啦。”狐狸说。 “等等！”皮普大喊道。 “吃鸡肉三明治哪能没有胡椒粉呀。” “为什么不行？”狐狸问。 “我的书里就是这么写的。”皮普说。 狐狸琢磨了一下这话。 他已经饿得不行了。 但他确实想吃到最完美的午饭。 “我去拿点胡椒粉。”他说。
