CHAPTER 6 GOODBYE

第六章 再见

The next morning, the storm had passed. There were just a few gray clouds left in the sky. Rufus stood at the front desk with Ms. Coco. His eyes were big. His tail was tucked in. His paws trembled. He was still petrified from Mr. Fang's story! "Wasn't that pawsome last night?" said the bulldog in the blue dress. She gave Ms. Coco her key. "Forget the WereWoof," said the greyhound with glasses. "The Woofmore is my favorite spooky hotel-furever!" "Me too," said the pug in the poncho. Ms. Coco smiled. "I'm glad you all had a good time."

第二天早上，暴风雨已经停了。 天空里只剩下几片灰扑扑的云。 鲁弗斯和可可女士一起站在前台旁。 他的眼睛睁得圆圆的。 他的尾巴紧紧夹在腿中间。 他的爪子在发抖。 他还在因为方先生讲的故事吓得浑身发僵呢！ “昨天晚上是不是超好玩呀？”穿蓝色连衣裙的斗牛犬说道。 她把自己的房钥匙递给了可可女士。 “什么狼人狗呀，早就忘啦，”戴眼镜的灵缇犬说。 “汪菲摩酒店是我最喜欢的恐怖酒店——永远都是！” “我也这么觉得。”穿雨披的巴哥犬说道。 可可女士笑了。 “我很高兴大家都玩得开心。”

Then it was Mr. Fang's turn to check out. He swept up to the desk in his long, dark cloak. He handed Rufus his key—and a book, The Terrified Terrier. "I pawtographed it for you," said Mr. Fang. Rufus read what Mr. Fang had written inside. To Rufus, who reminded me what makes me happy. Thank you! -Silas Fang

接下来轮到方先生办理退房了。 他裹着长长的黑色斗篷，飘到了前台跟前。 他把自己的房钥匙递给鲁弗斯——还有一本书，《吓坏的小梗犬》。 “我给你签过名啦。”方先生说道。 鲁弗斯读了读方先生写在书里的话。 致鲁弗斯，你让我想起了什么能让我真正快乐。 谢谢你！ ——塞勒斯·方

"Thank you, sir," said Rufus. Then he whispered, "I can't promise I'll read it." "That's all right," Mr. Fang whispered back. Mr. Fang said goodbye to Ms. Coco next. "Rufus took furst-rate care of me," he told her. "I can't wait to come back!" Crrrrrunch. Mr. Fang's creepy limo pulled up the driveway.

“谢谢您，先生。”鲁弗斯说道。 然后他小声说：“我不敢保证我会读这本书哦。” “没关系的。”方先生也小声回答他。 接下来方先生和可可女士道别。 “鲁弗斯把我照顾得特别特别好。”他告诉可可女士。 “我都等不及下次再来啦！” 咔嚓——咔嚓—— 方先生那辆吓人的豪华轿车开到了车道上。

Rufus dashed outside. He opened the car door for Mr. Fang. He watched the limo roll away. Suddenly, the sun peeked out from behind a cloud. Rufus saw... "A rainbow!" he shouted. "Mr. Fang, look! It's your rainbow!" Mr. Fang stuck his arm out the car window. He gave Rufus a big paws-up. Rufus felt furbulous! Back inside, Rufus picked up the book Mr. Fang had given him. Maybe he'd read it after all. Somehow, he didn't feel like a scaredy-dog anymore. Not one bit!

鲁弗斯飞快地冲到外面。 他为方先生拉开了车门。 他看着轿车慢慢开远了。 忽然，太阳从云后面探出头来。 鲁弗斯看见了……“彩虹！” 他大喊道。 “方先生，你看呀！ 是你的彩虹！” 方先生把胳膊从车窗伸了出来。 他对着鲁弗斯比了一个大大的棒的手势。 鲁弗斯感觉开心极了！ 回到屋里，鲁弗斯拿起了方先生送给他的那本书。 说不定他最后还是会读一读的。 不知怎么的，他不再觉得自己是个胆小鬼小狗了。 一点都不觉得了！
