3 THE FAMOUS FIVE

CHAPTER THREE THE FAMOUS FIVE SCHOOL BEGAN for the boys next day, and they all trooped off with their satchels and bags. The girls went off the day after. All the Secret Seven wore their little badges with S.S. embroidered on the button. It was fun to see the other children looking enviously at them, wishing they could have one too. 'No, you can't,' said Janet, when the other girls asked her if they could join. 'It's a Secret Society. I'm not supposed even to talk about it.' 'Well, I don't see why you can't make it a bit bigger and let us come in,' said the others.

第三章第二天，著名的五人学校开学了，孩子们都带着书包成群结队地走了。 女孩们第二天就走了。 所有的秘密七人都戴着ss的小徽章 绣在钮扣上。 看到其他孩子羡慕地看着他们，希望他们也能有一个，这很有趣。 “不，你不能，”当其他女孩问她是否能加入时，珍妮特说。 “这是一个秘密社团。我甚至不应该谈论这件事。“好吧，我不明白你为什么不能把它弄大一点，让我们进去。”

'You can't have more than seven in our Society,' said Janet. 'And we've got seven. You go and make Secret Societies of your own!' That was an unfortunate thing to say! Kate and Susie, who was Jack's tiresome sister, immediately went off to make a Society of their own! How very annoying! They got Harry, Jeff and Sam as well as themselves. Five of them. And then, to the intense annoyance of the Secret Seven, these five appeared at school with badges of their own! On the buttons they wore were embroidered two letters, not S.S., of course, but F.F. Everyone crowded round to ask what F.F. meant. 'It means "Famous Five",' said Susie. 'We've named ourselves after the Famous Five in the "Five" books! Much better idea than "Secret Seven".' Susie was very irritating to poor Jack. 'You

“在我们社团里，你不能有超过七个孩子，”珍妮特说。 “我们有七个。你自己去组织秘密社团吧！”说那样的话太不幸了！凯特和苏茜，杰克的讨厌的妹妹，马上去建立了一个她们自己的社团！真烦人！他们有哈里、杰夫和山姆，还有他们自己。 五个人。接着，让“秘密七人组”大为恼火的是，这五个人带着自己的徽章出现在学校里！他们身上的钮扣上绣着两个字母，当然不是s.s.，而是F.F. 大家都围过来问什么是F.F. 的意思。“它的意思是‘著名的五个人’，”苏西说。 “我们用《五本书》里的五个人的名字给自己取名！”比《秘密七宗罪》好得多。”苏茜对可怜的杰克很恼火。 “你

haven't got nearly such a good Society as we have,' she said. 'Our badges are bigger, we've got a splendid password, which I wouldn't dream of telling you, and we have a secret sign, too. You haven't got that!' 'What's your secret sign?' said Jack, crossly. 'I've never seen you make it.' 'Of course not. I tell you it's a secret one!' said Susie. 'And we're meeting every single Saturday morning. And, what's more, we've got an adventure going already!' 'I don't believe you,' said Jack. 'Anyway, you're just a copy-cat. It was our idea! You're mean.' 'Well, you wouldn't let me belong to your silly Secret Seven,' said Susie, annoyingly. 'Now I belong to the Famous Five, and I tell you, we've got an adventure already!' Jack didn't know whether to believe her or not. He thought Susie must be the most tiresome sister in the world. He wished he had

“我们的社会远不如我们的好，”她说。 “我们的徽章更大，我们有一个很棒的密码，我做梦也不想告诉你，我们还有一个秘密标志。 你没有！“你的秘密星座是什么？”杰克生气地说。 “我从来没见你做过。”“当然不是。 我告诉你这是个秘密！苏西说。 我们每个周六早上都要开会。 而且，更重要的是，我们已经开始冒险了！“我不相信你，”杰克说。 “不管怎样，你只是个模仿者。 这是我们的主意！你的意思。“好吧，你不让我加入你那愚蠢的秘密七人组，”苏茜恼火地说。 “现在我属于五人组了，我告诉你，我们已经有了一次冒险！”杰克不知道该不该相信她。 他认为苏茜一定是世界上最令人讨厌的妹妹。 他真希望自己

one like Janet. He went gloomily to Peter and told him all that Susie had said. 'Don't take any notice of her,' said Peter. 'Famous Five indeed! They'll soon get tired of meeting and playing about.' The Famous Five Society was very annoying to the Secret Seven that term. The members wore their big badges every single day. Kate and Susie huddled together in corners at break each morning and talked in excited whispers, as if something really was happening. Harry, Jeff and Sam did the same at their school, which annoyed Peter, Colin, Jack and George very much. They met in the summer-house in Jack's garden, and Susie actually ordered Jack to keep out of the garden when the 'Famous Five' held their meetings in the summer-house! 'As if I shall keep out of my own garden!' said Jack, indignantly, to Peter. 'But you know, Peter, I believe they really have got hold of

比如珍妮特。他闷闷不乐地走到彼得跟前，把苏茜所说的一切都告诉了他。 “别理她，”彼得说。 “真是大名鼎鼎的五人组！”他们很快就会厌倦见面和玩耍的。”那个学期，“五大名人会”对“七大秘密”非常恼火。 会员们每天都戴着大大的徽章。 每天早上课间休息时，凯特和苏茜挤在角落里，兴奋地低声交谈，好像真的发生了什么事。 哈利、杰夫和萨姆在学校里也做了同样的事，这让彼得、科林、杰克和乔治非常恼火。 他们是在杰克花园的凉亭里见面的，当“著名五人组”在凉亭里开会时，苏茜竟然命令杰克离花园远点！“好像我要远离我自己的花园似的！”杰克气愤地对彼得说。 “但是你知道，彼得，我相信他们真的抓住了

something. I think something is up. Wouldn't it be awful if they had an adventure and we didn't? Susie would crow like anything.' Peter thought about this. 'It's up to you to find out about it,' he said, at last. 'After all, they've stolen our idea, and they're doing it to annoy us. You try and find out what's up, Jack. We'll soon put a stop to it!' So Jack went to hide in a bush at the back of the summer-house when he heard that Susie had planned another meeting there for that Saturday morning. But unfortunately Susie was looking out of the bedroom window just then, and saw him squeezing into the laurel bush! She gazed down in rage, and then suddenly she smiled. She sped downstairs to meet the other four at the front gate, instead of waiting for them to go down to the summer-house. They all came together, and Susie began to whisper excitedly.

某物。我觉得出事了。 如果他们有冒险而我们没有，那不是很糟糕吗？ 苏茜呱呱叫个不停。”彼得想了想。 “这件事由你自己去搞清楚，”他终于说。 “毕竟，他们窃取了我们的创意，他们这么做是为了惹恼我们。 你去查清楚是怎么回事，杰克。 我们很快就会制止它的！”所以当杰克听说苏茜计划星期六早上在那里再开一次会时，他就躲到凉亭后面的灌木丛里去了。 但不幸的是，就在那时，苏西正从卧室的窗户往外看，看到他正挤进月桂树丛里！她愤怒地向下凝视，然后突然笑了。 她没有等他们下楼到凉亭去，而是急匆匆地下楼到前门迎接另外四个人。 他们都走到一起，苏茜开始兴奋地低声说。

'Jack's going to try and find out what we're doing! He's hidden himself in the laurel bush at the back of the summer-house to listen to all we say!' 'I'll go and pull him out,' said Harry at once. 'No, don't,' said Susie. 'I've got a better idea. Let's go down to the summer-house, whisper the password so that he can't hear it, and then begin to talk as if we really had found an adventure!' 'But why?' said Kate. 'You're silly! Don't you see that Jack will believe it all, and if we mention places such as that old house up on the hill, Tigger's Barn, he'll tell the Secret Seven, and…' 'And they'll all go and investigate it and find there's nothing there!' said Kate, giggling. 'What fun!' 'Yes. And we can mention names too. We'll talk about Stumpy Dick, and– Twisty Tom, and make Jack think we're right in the very

“杰克想知道我们在做什么！”他躲在凉亭后面的月桂树丛里，听我们说话呢！“我去把他拉出来。”哈利马上说。 “不，不要，”苏西说。“我有个更好的主意。 咱们下楼到凉亭去，悄悄地说出口令，不让他听见，然后开始谈话，就好像我们真的发现了什么奇遇似的！“可是为什么？”凯特说。 “你傻!难道你不明白杰克会相信的，如果我们提到山上的老房子，跳跳虎的谷仓之类的地方，他就会告诉秘密七人，然后……”“他们都会去调查，发现那里什么也没有！”凯特咯咯地笑着说。 “多么有趣!“是的。我们也可以提到名字。 我们来谈谈矮胖的迪克，还有扭曲的汤姆，让杰克觉得我们是对的
