watching for Annie. One day, Henry and his big dog Mudge were standing on their front porch, watching the road. They were watching for Henry's cousin. Her name is Annie, Henry told Mudge, and she's spending the night.

等着安妮的到来。 有一天，亨利和他的大狗马奇站在前门廊上， 望着大路，他们在等亨利的小表妹。 她叫安妮，亨利告诉马奇，她要在咱们家过夜哦。

Mudge scratched an ear. I've never met her, Henry said. Mudge chewed a foot. I sure hope she's fun, Henry said. Mudge stretched some bones.

马奇挠了挠耳朵。 我还从来没见过她呢，亨利说。 马奇啃起了自己的爪子。 真希望她是个好玩的人，亨利说。 马奇伸了个大懒腰。

While they waited for the cousin, Henry gave Mudge a brushing. Mudge loved brushings. He rolled onto his back. He hung his paws in the air. He closed his eyes and made little dog grunts. Mudge loved brushings, and they made him look very nice for company.

等小表妹的时候，亨利给马奇梳毛。 马奇可喜欢梳毛啦。 他肚皮朝上翻了个身。 爪子翘得高高的。 他闭着眼睛，发出小狗满足的哼哼声。 马奇爱梳毛，梳完毛见客人，他看起来精神极了。

Suddenly, a car pulled into Henry's driveway. Up, Mudge, said Henry. She's here. Mudge jumped up. He wagged his tail.

突然，一辆车开进了亨利家的车道。 起来，马奇，亨利说，她来了。 马奇一下蹦起来，尾巴摇得飞快。

He barked a little bark. He danced a little dance. Mudge loved company.

他轻轻汪了一声。 还蹦蹦跳跳转了个小圈。 马奇可喜欢家里来客人啦。
