5-08 Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig

Chapter 8. At 54 Dekawu Drive, Mercy was on the couch taking an after toast nap. She was snoring. What a peaceful afternoon, said Mrs. Watson. Indeed, said Mr. Watson. Knock, knock, knock. Someone is at the back door, said Mrs. Watson.

第八章 在德卡伍大道54号，梅西正窝在沙发上，吃完烤面包后打盹儿。 她打着呼噜。 “多么宁静的下午呀。”沃森太太说。 “是啊。”沃森先生说。 咚、咚、咚。 “后门有人敲门。”沃森太太说。

I'll get it," said Mr. Watson. He went into the kitchen. Come in, baby," said Mr. Watson. I can't," said Baby. Something terrible is going to happen. It is? An unmentionable horror approaches. It does?

“我去开门。”沃森先生说。 他走进了厨房。 “进来呀，宝贝。”沃森先生说。 “我不能进去。”贝比说。 可怕的事情就要发生了。 是吗？ 有个说不出的可怕家伙正慢慢靠近。 真的吗？

Oh, Mr. Watson, said Baby Lincoln, you must protect her. Protect her, said Mr. Watson. Protect who? Baby threw herself into Mr. Watson's arms. She began to cry. There, there, said Mr. Watson. Mrs. Watson came into the kitchen. What is going on? She said. It seems an unmentionable horror is approaching, said Mr. Watson.

“噢，沃森先生，”贝比·林肯说，“你一定要保护她。” “保护她？”沃森先生说。 保护谁呀？ 贝比一下扑进了沃森先生的怀里。 她哭了起来。 “好啦好啦。”沃森先生安慰道。 沃森太太走进了厨房。 “发生什么事啦？” 她问道。 “好像有个说不出的可怕家伙正在靠近。”沃森先生说。

Oh dear, said Mrs. Watson, I have always been terribly afraid of unmentionable horrors. What will we do? There, there, said Mr. Watson, I am sure we will think of something.

“噢天呐，”沃森太太说，“我一直都特别害怕那种说不出的可怕东西。” 我们该怎么办呀？ “好啦好啦，”沃森先生说，“我们肯定能想到办法的。”
