Henry and Mudge and the Bedtime Thumps

Henry and Mudge in the Bedtime Thumbs

《亨利和马奇之睡前咚咚响》

To Grandmother's House Henry and his big dog Mudge were going to the country with Henry's parents. Henry was reading comic books. Mudge was chewing his toenails.

《去外婆家》 亨利和他的大狗马奇要跟着亨利的爸妈去乡下。 亨利在看漫画书，马奇在啃自己的脚指甲。

They were going to visit Henry's grandmother. Henry's grandmother had never met Mudge, so Henry worried. He worried that Mudge might drool on her skirt.

他们要去探望亨利的外婆。 亨利的外婆还没见过马奇，所以亨利很担心。 他怕马奇的口水会滴到外婆的裙子上。

He worried that Mudge might eat her coffee table. But mostly he worried that Mudge might have to sleep outside.

他怕马奇会把外婆的咖啡桌啃坏。 不过他最担心的，还是马奇得睡在屋外。

Mudge had never slept outside before. And if Mudge slept outside, Henry would be alone, trying to sleep in an empty room, in a strange house, in a dark yard in the country.

马奇以前从来没有在外面睡过觉。 要是马奇睡在外面，亨利就只能孤零零的，在陌生房子的空房间里睡觉，外头还有乡下黑漆漆的院子。

Henry read his comic books and worried. The longer he wrote, the more he worried. Soon he began to bite his fingernails.

亨利边看漫画书边发愁。 车开得越久，他就越担心。 很快他就开始咬自己的手指甲了。
