The Powercut

The Power Cup

停电

It is evening. Pepper and George are in the sitting room, dancing to their favourite song. Daddy Pig is in the hallway, vacuuming the carpet. And Mummy Pig is in her study, doing important work on her computer.

夜幕降临了。 佩奇和乔治在客厅里，跟着他们最喜欢的歌曲跳舞。 猪爸爸在走廊里，用吸尘器清理地毯。 猪妈妈在她的书房里，用电脑处理重要工作。

Oh. Oh! Oh!

哦。 哦！ 哦！

Mummy, Daddy, it's gone all dark and the music is broken. And my vacuum won't work. And my computer has switched off. Mummy Pig tries the light switch but the lights do not come on. It must be a power cut. What's a power cut? A power cut is when there is no electricity. What's electricity? Electricity is what makes everything in our house work. Will the electricity come back again?

妈妈，爸爸，到处都黑了，音乐也停了。 我的吸尘器没法工作了。 我的电脑也关机了。 猪妈妈按了电灯开关，但是灯没亮。 肯定是停电了。 什么是停电呀？ 停电就是没有电力供应了。 什么是电呀？ 电是能让我们家里所有东西运转的能源。 电还会恢复吗？

Yes, but in the meantime we need to find a torch. I think there's a torch in the cellar. OK, I'll go and get it. Will you be OK, Daddy?

会的，不过这会儿我们得先找个手电筒。 我记得地窖里有个手电筒。 好的，我去拿。 爸爸，你没问题吧？

Ho ho, I'll be fine. I can see very well in the dark. Who put that there? Daddy, are you OK? Yes, it's just a bit dark down here. Oh, I just remembered. I think the torch is in the kitchen.

呵呵，我没事的。我在黑暗里看得特别清楚。 谁把那东西放那儿的？ 爸爸，你没事吧？ 我没事，就是下面有点黑。 哦，我刚想起来，手电筒应该在厨房里。
