Nate the Great and the Phony Clue

大侦探内特和假线索

I, Nate the Great, am a great detective. I have just solved a big case. It did not look like a big case when it started this morning.

我，大侦探内特，是个超厉害的侦探。 我刚办完一个大案子。 今天早上案子刚冒出来的时候，看着可不像是个大案子。

My dog Sludge and I were running around the block for exercise. We ran past Annie and her dog, Fang. We ran past Rosamund and three of her cats.

我和我的狗狗斯拉奇正绕着街区跑步锻炼。 我们跑着路过了安妮和她的狗狗小方。 我们跑着路过了罗莎蒙德和她的三只小猫。

We ran past Finley and his friend, Pip. We ran home. I saw a piece of paper on my doorstep. I picked it up. It was thin paper. V .I .T .A. was printed in ink on it. The paper was torn off around V .I .T .A.

我们跑着路过了芬利和他的朋友皮普。我们跑回了家。我看到家门口的台阶上有一张纸。 我把它捡了起来。是张薄纸，上面用墨水印着V.I.T.A.四个字母。纸的边缘 围着V.I.T.A.这几个字母的地方都被撕掉了。

What did it mean? I got my dictionary. I looked up VITA. I found that VITA could be the start of a word.

这是什么意思呀？ 我拿出我的字典。 我查了VITA这个词。 我发现VITA可能是某个单词的开头部分。
