1-03 Mercy Watson to the Rescue

Chapter 3 Boom! A hole opened under the Watson's bed. Crack! The Watson's bed fell into the hole. Mr. Watson woke up. Mrs. Watson woke up. Mercy woke up, too. What the? said Mr. Watson.

第三章 轰隆！ 沃森家的床底下裂开了一个洞。 咔嚓！ 沃森家的床掉进了洞里。 沃森先生醒了。沃森太太也醒了。 梅西也醒了。 “搞什么？”沃森先生说道。

Oink, said Mercy. It's an earthquake, shouted Mrs. Watson. It's the end of the world. Nonsense, said Mr. Watson. But he did not sound very sure. He sounded frightened. Mercy, however, was not frightened. Mercy was hungry. Oink, said Mercy again. She moved to the end of the bed. Boom! Crack!

“哼唧。”梅西叫了一声。 “是地震！”沃森太太大喊。 世界末日到了。 “胡说八道。”沃森先生说。 可他的语气听着不太确定。 他听起来害怕极了。 不过梅西可一点都不怕。 梅西饿了。 “哼唧。”梅西又叫了一声。 她往床尾挪了挪。 轰隆！ 咔嚓！

The bed fell a little farther into the hole in the floor. Don't move! shouted Mr. Watson. Whatever you do, don't move! Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson and Mercy held very still. Mrs. Watson started to cry. I know exactly what we must do, said Mr. Watson. We must call the fire department. They will rescue us. But you said we should not move, said Mrs. Watson. How can we call the fire department if we cannot move?

床又往地板的洞里陷进去了一点。 不许动！ 沃森先生大喊道。 无论如何，都不许动！ 沃森先生、沃森太太和梅西都一动不敢动。 沃森太太哭了起来。 “我清楚我们该怎么做了。”沃森先生说。 我们得打电话给消防部门。 他们会来救我们的。 “可你说我们不能动呀。”沃森太太说。 我们动都动不了，怎么打电话给消防部门呀？

Mercy recalled her lovely toast -filled dream. She wondered if there was any toast in the kitchen. While Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson were arguing, Mercy hopped off the bed. Boom! Crack!

梅西想起了她那个满是吐司的美梦。 她琢磨着厨房里会不会有吐司。 就在沃森先生和沃森太太争论的时候，梅西跳下床了。 轰隆！咔嚓！

Look," said Mrs. Watson, "'Mercy has escaped!' She is going to find help," said Mr. Watson. "'She is going to alert the fire department.' Mercy left the bedroom at a gallop. She was in a hurry. She was on her way to the kitchen. She was looking for some toast."

“快看，”沃森太太说，“梅西逃出去了！” “她要去找人来帮忙。”沃森先生说。 “她会去通知消防部门的。” 梅西飞快地冲出了卧室。 她赶时间呢。 她正往厨房去。 她要去找点吐司吃。
