Unit 21

Unit 21 A very big cat LESSON 41 Our friends, Judy and Mark, have a country house outside Bodmin in south west England. They love the wild open country around it, and they go there a lot. About a year ago, Judy told me she had seen a puma in the garden. A puma, in England! I listened to her politely, but I really believed that she had seen a very big cat. Last weekend, they had invited us to go with them to Bodmin. It was a six- hour journey, and when we arrived, I wanted to stretch my legs. I went out into the quiet garden. Then I saw it, straight in front of me. It stared at me for a moment, with big yellow eyes. Then it turned, jumped onto the wall, and disappeared. I went into the house and said to the others, ‘I've just seen a puma in the garden. ' My wife replied, ‘There are some very big cats around these days. ’ Judy smiled. ‘There are indeed! ’ she said.

巨猫 我们的朋友朱迪和马克在英国西南部的博德明郊外有一座乡村住宅。他们喜欢住宅周围荒凉空旷的乡村景色，所以经常去。 大约一年前，朱迪告诉我她在花园中看见一只美洲狮。美洲狮，在英国!我恭敬地听她述说，但是我真的觉得她看见的是一只非常大的猫。 上周末，他们邀请我们和他们一起去博德明。旅程花了6个小时。到了之后，我想去散散步，就进了安静的花园。这时，在我的正前方，我看到了它。它用黄色的大眼睛盯着我看了一会儿，然后转身跳上墙便消失了。 我进屋对其他人说:“我在花园里看见了一只美洲狮。”我妻子回答道:“最近附近有一些非常大的猫。” 朱迪笑了笑。“确实有」”她说。
