What's That Noise?

What's that noise?

那是什么声音？

Ryan liked playing with his trains. Look at all these trains! cried dad. I'll clear them away! said Ryan. Then it's bedtime! said mum. That night Ryan had a dream. He dreamed that some men were digging a hole. The hole was so big that a giant white rabbit hopped out of it. The rabbit had big feet that banged on the ground. Bang, bang, bang!

瑞恩喜欢玩他的小火车。 "快看这些小火车！"爸爸叫道。 "我来把它们收走！"瑞恩说。 "现在该睡觉啦！"妈妈说。 那天晚上瑞恩做了个梦。 他梦到几个男人在挖一个洞。 洞大得能钻出来一只巨大的白兔， 从洞里跳了出来。 兔子的大脚踩在地上咚咚响。 咚、咚、咚！

Ryan woke up. The giant white rabbit had gone. But something was still going bang, bang, bang. Mum! shouted Ryan. The banging stopped. Mum, what was all that banging? asked Ryan. It's nothing, said Mum. Go back to sleep. But nothing is quiet, thought Ryan.

瑞恩醒了。大白兔不见了，可还有什么东西在咚咚咚地响。 "妈妈！"瑞恩大喊。咚咚声停了。 "妈妈，刚才的咚咚声是什么呀？"瑞恩问。 "没什么，"妈妈说，"回去睡觉吧。" 可哪儿来的没什么啊，瑞恩心里嘀咕。

The next day everything was quiet. Ryan came home from school and played with his trains. Then he had tea. What was all that banging last night? He asked Dad. I don't know, said Dad. Maybe it was the water pipes. They make banging noises sometimes.

第二天安安静静的，什么声音都没有。 瑞恩放学回家，玩了会儿他的小火车。 然后他吃了下午茶。 "昨天晚上的咚咚声是什么呀？" 他问爸爸。 "我不知道呀，"爸爸说。 "说不定是水管子发出来的。" 它们有时候会发出咚咚的响声。

That night Ryan heard the banging again. He was glad it was just the water pipes. Bang, bang, bang went the water pipes. Bang, bang, ouch! What was that? thought Ryan.

那天晚上瑞恩又听到了咚咚声，他很高兴那只是水管子的声音。 水管子咚咚咚地响，咚、咚、哎哟！ 那是什么呀？瑞恩心想。

The next day everything was quiet. Ryan came home from school and played with his trains. Then he had tea. That banging came back last night, said Ryan. It went ouch! Well, it could have been a cat, said Dad, with a bad foot.

第二天又是安安静静的。 瑞恩放学回家，玩了会儿小火车。 然后他吃了下午茶。 "昨天晚上咚咚声又响起来啦，"瑞恩说。 它还发出了哎哟的声音！ "唔，说不定是只猫，"爸爸说，"脚受伤了的猫。"
