3-15 Mercy Watson Fights Crime

Chapter 15. Officer Tamalelo pulled into the driveway of 54 Dekawu Drive. In the yard, he saw two firemen, three women in nightgowns, and one man in pajamas. They were all gathered around a pig. Is that the same pig I caught driving a convertible? He asked himself.

第十五章 塔马莱洛警官开车驶入车道 地址是德卡武大道54号。 院子里，他看见两名消防员， 三个穿睡袍的女人，还有一个穿睡衣的男人。 他们全都围着一头猪。 这头猪是不是我之前抓到的开敞篷车的那头？ 他暗自想道。

It is, he answered himself, it is exactly the same pig. Officer Tamalelo squinted. Is that pig sitting on top of somebody? Officer Tamalelo asked himself. That certainly looks to be the case, he answered himself. Officer, officer, shouted Baby. Come quickly, Mercy has caught a thief. Mr. Watson and Mrs. Watson and Eugenia Lincoln and Baby Lincoln

没错，他自己答道，就是那头猪，一模一样。 塔马莱洛警官眯起了眼睛。 那头猪是不是坐在谁身上？ 塔马莱洛警官暗自疑惑。 看起来确实是这样，他自己回答。 警官，警官，宝贝大喊道。 快过来，默西抓到了一个小偷。 沃森先生、沃森太太、尤金妮亚·林肯还有宝贝·林肯

and Ned and Lorenzo and Officer Tamalelo all looked down at Mercy. Are you a thief? Officer Tamalelo asked the man underneath the pig. I am, said Leroy Ninker. I am a thief. Were you robbing these people? Officer Tamalelo asked.

还有奈德、洛伦佐和塔马莱洛警官，全都低头看着默西。 你是小偷吗？ 塔马莱洛警官问猪身下的男人。 我是，勒罗伊·宁克说。 我就是个小偷。 你刚才是不是在抢劫这家人？ 塔马莱洛警官问道。

I was, said Leroy Ninker, until the pig got involved. Gentlemen, said Officer Tomalello, will you assist me in removing the pig? On the count of three, Ned and Lorenzo and Officer Tomalello lifted Mercy off of Leroy Ninker. You are under arrest, said Officer Tomalello. It's that pig you should be arresting, said Eugenia Lincoln.

是的，勒罗伊·宁克说，直到这头猪出来搅局。 先生们，塔马莱洛警官说， 你们能帮我把这头猪移开吗？ 数到三的时候，奈德、洛伦佐还有 塔马莱洛警官一起把默西从勒罗伊·宁克身上抬了起来。 你被捕了，塔马莱洛警官说。 你们该抓的是那头猪才对，尤金妮亚·林肯说。

Leroy Ninker stood with his cowboy hat in his hand. He looked down at his feet.

勒罗伊·宁克站在那里，手里攥着他的牛仔帽。 他低着头看着自己的脚。

Officer said Mrs. Watson, the thief is so tiny. Shouldn't he have something to eat before you arrest him? Maybe he needs some toast, said Ned. With a great deal of butter on it, added Lorenzo. Toast, said Officer Tomalello, who needs toast? Why, everyone needs toast, said Mrs. Watson. Even cowboys, said Leroy Ninker.

警官呀，沃森太太说，这个小偷个子这么小。 你们抓他之前，难道不该给他点东西吃吗？ 说不定他想吃点吐司，奈德说。 还要抹好多好多黄油哦，洛伦佐补充道。 吐司？塔马莱洛警官说，谁要吃吐司啊？ 哎呀，每个人都爱吃吐司呀，沃森太太说。 牛仔也爱吃，勒罗伊·宁克小声说。
