5 A victory for Susie

CHAPTER FIVE A victory for Susie THE SECRET Seven were so angry that they hardly knew what to do. So it was Susie and her friends who had planned all this! While Susie had been boldly giving the password and forcing her way into their meeting the night before, her friends were pretending to scuffle in the bushes to stop Colin and make him think something really serious was going on! 'They took me in properly,' groaned Colin. 'I really thought it was men scuffling there, and I was so pleased to find that notebook when they had run off! It was too dark to spot that they weren't men, of course.' 'No wonder Susie giggled all the time she was in our shed, and laughed when Colin

第五章苏茜的胜利秘密七个人都气得不知如何是好。 原来是苏茜和她的朋友们策划了这一切！前一天晚上，当苏茜大胆地说出密码，强行进入他们的会议时，她的朋友们假装在灌木丛中扭打，阻止科林，让他认为发生了非常严重的事情！“他们把我带进去了。”科林呻吟道。 “我真以为是男人在那里扭打，他们跑掉了，我却很高兴找到了那本笔记本！”当然，天太黑了，看不出他们不是男人。“难怪苏茜在我们的小屋里总是咯咯地笑，柯林来的时候她就笑。

rushed in to tell us of his adventure!' said Janet. 'Horrid, tiresome girl!' 'She's the worst sister possible,' said Jack, gloomily. 'Fancy putting that list of stolen things in the notebook, of course, she had heard my father read them out at breakfast- time too. Bother Susie!' George kicked at the shed door. From the inside came the sound of shrieks of delighted laughter, and some enormous guffaws from Jim, who, like Doris, was rolling about from side to side, holding his aching sides. Oh, what a joke! Oh, to think they had brought the stuck-up Secret Seven all the way to this shed, just to see them!

冲进来告诉我们他的冒险经历！珍妮特说。 “讨厌的、讨厌的姑娘！”“她是最坏的姐姐，”杰克忧郁地说。 “想到把那张偷来的东西的清单放在笔记本上，当然，她听到我父亲在早餐时间念出来了。 麻烦苏茜!”乔治踢着小屋的门。 里面传来一阵欢快的尖叫和吉姆的狂笑，他和多丽丝一样，抱着疼痛的身体，从一边滚到另一边。 哦，真是个笑话！啊，想想看，他们把那高傲的秘密七人大老远带到这个小屋里来，就是为了看看他们！

'You just wait till you unlock the door and come out!' called Jack. 'You just wait! I'll pull your hair till you squeal, Susie. I'm ashamed of you!' More squeals of laughter, and a loud, 'Ho, ho, ho,' from Jim again. It really was maddening. 'There's seven of us, and only four of you,' cried Colin, warningly. 'And we'll wait here till you come out, see? You hadn't thought of that, had you?' 'Oh yes, we had,' called Susie. 'But you'll let us go free - you see if you don't.'

“你就等着开门出来吧！”杰克叫道。 “你等着瞧吧！”我会拉你的头发直到你尖叫，苏茜。 我为你感到羞耻！”又是一阵尖声的笑声，杰姆又大声地叫了一声：“嗬，嗬，嗬。” 这真的让人抓狂。“我们有七个人，而你们只有四个。”科林警告地叫道。 “我们就在这儿等你出来，明白吗？” 你没有想到这一点，是吗？“哦，是的，我们见过，”苏西说。 “但你会让我们自由的——你看你会不会这样做。”

'We shan't!' said Jack, furiously. 'Unlock the door.' 'Listen, Jack,' said Susie. 'This is going to be a LOVELY tale to tell all the others at school. Won't the Secret Seven be laughed at? Silly old Secret Seven, tricked by a stupid notebook. They think themselves so grand and so clever, but they're sure that four children in a shed are a gang of robbers shooting at one another! And we only had paper bags to pop!' The four inside popped paper bags again and roared with laughter. The Secret Seven felt gloomier and gloomier. 'You know, Susie will make everyone roar with laughter about this,' said Colin. 'We shan't be able to hold our heads up for ages. Susie's right. We'll have to let them go free, and not set on them when they come out.' 'No!' said Peter and Jack. 'Yes,' said Colin. 'We'll have to make a bargain with them, and Susie jolly well knows

“我们不会!杰克愤怒地说。 “打开门。“听着，杰克，”苏西说。 “这将是一个可爱的故事，可以告诉学校里的其他人。 七大秘密不会被嘲笑吗？ 愚蠢的老秘密七，被一个愚蠢的笔记本骗了。 他们以为自己很了不起，很聪明，但他们肯定棚子里的四个孩子是一伙互相射击的强盗！而且我们只有纸袋可以打开！”里面的四个人又打开了纸袋，哈哈大笑起来。 秘密七人感到越来越沮丧。 “你知道，苏茜会让每个人捧腹大笑的。”柯林说。 “我们好长时间都抬不起头来了。 苏茜是对的。我们得放了他们，等他们出来的时候，我们就不动手了。“不!彼得和杰克说。 “是的。”科林说。“我们得跟他们做笔交易，苏茜很清楚

it. We'll have to let them go free in return for their keeping silent about this. It's no good, we've got to. I don't want all the silly kids in the first form roaring with laughter and popping paper bags at me whenever I go by. And they will. I know them!' There was a silence. It dawned on everyone that Colin was right. Susie had got the best of them. They couldn't allow anyone to make a laughing-stock of their Secret Seven Society. They were so proud of it; it was the best Secret Society in the world. Peter sighed. Susie was a pest. Somehow they must pay her back for this tiresome, aggravating trick. But for the moment she had won. 'Susie! You win, for the present!' said Peter. 'You can go free, and we won't even pull your hair, if you promise solemnly not to say a single word about this to anyone at school.' 'All right,' called Susie, triumphantly. 'I

它。我们得放了他们作为对此事保持沉默的回报。 不行，我们必须这么做。 我可不想一年级的傻孩子们在我经过的时候都哈哈大笑，把纸袋扔向我。 他们会的。我认识他们！”一阵沉默。 大家都明白了科林是对的。 苏茜比他们强。 他们不能让任何人成为他们秘密七人会的笑柄。 他们为此感到非常自豪；它是世界上最好的秘密社团。 彼得叹了口气。苏茜是个讨厌鬼。 不管怎样，他们必须为这种令人厌烦、令人恼火的把戏报答她。 但在那一刻，她赢了。 “苏西!你赢了，就目前而言！彼得说。 “你可以自由了，我们甚至不会扯你的头发，只要你郑重地保证不对学校里的任何人提起这件事。“好吧，”苏茜得意地说。 “我

knew you'd have to make that bargain. What a swizz for you! Silly old Secret Seven! Meeting solemnly week after week with never a thing to do! Well, we're coming out, so mind you keep your word.' The door was unlocked from inside and the four came out, laughing and grinning. They stalked through the Secret Seven, noses in the air, enjoying their triumph. Jack's fingers itched to grab at Susie's hair, but he kept them in his pockets. 'Goodbye. Thanks for a marvellous show,' said the irritating Susie. 'Let us know when you want another adventure, and we'll provide

我就知道你得做这笔交易。 对你来说真是太棒了！愚蠢的老秘密七！一周又一周地严肃地开会，无事可做！好了，我们要出来了，所以你要遵守诺言。”门从里面打开了，四个人笑着走了出来。 他们昂首阔步地穿过秘密七人团，享受着胜利。 杰克的手指发痒，想抓住苏茜的头发，但他把手指放在口袋里。 “再见。“谢谢你的精彩表演。”苏西生气地说。 “你什么时候想再来一次冒险，请告诉我们，我们会提供的
