我会阅读啦！ 2 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚和小猫

Mrs. Rogers was in a total tizzy. "I am late for a lunch date," she said. "But I must find an umbrella before I go. They say it is going to rain cats and dogs."

罗杰斯太太心急火燎的。 “我午餐约会要迟到了，”她说。 “但我走之前得找把伞。 他们说要下倾盆大雨啦。”

"Goody!" said Amelia Bedelia. "We will get a free pet. Would you like a dog or a cat?" "Neither one," said Mrs. Rogers. "All I want is an umbrella." "Here you go," said Amelia Bedelia. She pulled an umbrella out of her purse. "Why do you keep it in there?" asked Mrs. Rogers. "Blame Mr. Rogers," said Amelia Bedelia. "He always tells me to save for a rainy day, but an umbrella would be more help than money. Would you like to borrow my rubber boots and rain hat, too?" "Save them for next time," said Mrs. Rogers. "Thanks for lending me your umbrella."

“太棒啦！”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “我们能领到免费的宠物啦。 你想要小狗还是小猫呀？” “都不要，”罗杰斯太太说。 “我只要一把伞就行。” “给你，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 她从自己的包里掏出一把伞。 “你为什么把伞放在包里呀？”罗杰斯太太问。 “都怪罗杰斯先生，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “他总告诉我要未雨绸缪，可伞可比钱管用多啦。 你要不要也借我的胶靴和雨帽呀？” “留着下次用吧，”罗杰斯太太说。 “谢谢你借我伞。”

They walked out to the car. Mrs. Rogers got in. "I have to go shopping later," said Amelia Bedelia. "Really?" said Mrs. Rogers. "I may run into you." "I hope not," said Amelia Bedelia. "It would hurt if you ran into me." "I have an idea," said Mrs. Rogers. "Why don't I give you a lift and drop you in town?" "I know why not," said Amelia Bedelia. "It's because I am too heavy for you to lift. You would drop me before we got to town." Mrs. Rogers nodded, smiled, and drove away. Amelia Bedelia walked back to the house. She stood on the porch and gazed at the clouds. "Rain cats and dogs," she said to herself. "The weatherman might be right. That cloud looks like a dog. That one looks like a really big cat.

他们走到车边。 罗杰斯太太坐进车里。 “我待会儿要去买东西，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “真的吗？”罗杰斯太太说。 “我说不定会碰见你哦。” “我可不希望，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你要是撞到我会很疼的。” “我有个主意，”罗杰斯太太说。 “我捎你一程，把你送到镇上怎么样？” “我知道为什么不行，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “因为我太重了，你抬不动我。 还没到镇上你就会把我摔下来的。” 罗杰斯太太点点头，笑了笑，开车走了。 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚走回房子。 她站在门廊上，望着天上的云。 “下猫下狗，”她自言自语道。 “天气预报员说不定说对了。 那朵云看起来像只狗。 那朵看起来像只超大的猫。”

"Yipes!" hollered Amelia Bedelia as she jumped back in shock. "That cloud just meowed at me." Amelia Bedelia looked down, where the sound had come from. "Hmmm," said Amelia Bedelia. "I have heard of a plant called a cattail, but I've never seen a plant with a cat tail." A kitten peeked out from behind the plant. "Well, I'll be!" said Amelia Bedelia. "You are the tiniest kitten I have ever seen." The kitten leaped out of the flowers. It walked over to Amelia Bedelia and rubbed up against her leg.

“哎呀！”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚吓得往后一跳，大叫起来。 “那朵云刚刚对着我喵了一声。” 阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚低头看向声音传来的地方。 “嗯，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “我听说过一种叫香蒲的植物，可我从来没见过长着猫尾巴的植物呀。” 一只小猫从植物后面探出头来。 “哇，真没想到！”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你是我见过的最小的小猫啦。” 小猫从花丛里跳了出来。 它走到阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚身边，蹭了蹭她的腿。

"Where's your mama?" asked Amelia Bedelia. "You are much too little to be out on your own." She picked up the kitten. "You look like a tiny tiger," said Amelia Bedelia. She scratched it between its ears. The kitten purred and purred. "You even sound like a tiny tiger," said Amelia Bedelia. "So Tiger is what I'll call you." She took Tiger into the kitchen. She poured milk into a saucer. Tiger lapped it up right away. "Wow," said Amelia Bedelia. "You must have been starving." She offered the kitten half of her sandwich. Tiger turned up his nose. "I need help," said Amelia Bedelia. I have never taken care of a cat before."

“你妈妈在哪里呀？”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚问。 “你太小了，不能自己跑出来呀。” 她把小猫抱了起来。 “你看起来像只小老虎，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 她挠了挠小猫的耳朵中间。 小猫呼噜呼噜地叫个不停。 “你连叫声都像小老虎呢，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “那我就叫你老虎吧。” 她把老虎抱进厨房。 她把牛奶倒进一个小碟子。 老虎立刻就把牛奶舔光了。 “哇，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “你肯定饿坏了吧。” 她把自己的半块三明治递给小猫。 老虎扭过脑袋不想吃。 “我需要帮忙，”阿米莉亚·贝迪莉亚说。 “我以前从来没照顾过小猫呀。”
