Nate the Great and the Hungry Book Club

《大侦探内特和饥饿的读书俱乐部》

Chapter 1. Torn, ripped, ruined. My name is Nate the Great. I am a detective. My dog Sludge is a detective too. Ouch! Right now I am a mumbling, bumbling, tripping detective. I have just tripped over a big pile of books that Rosamond left in my house.

第一章 撕烂了，扯碎了，毁了 我叫大侦探内特，是个侦探。我的狗狗斯拉基也是个侦探。哎哟！ 这会儿我成了个嘀嘀咕咕、笨手笨脚、摔跟头的侦探。 我刚被罗莎蒙德落在我家的一大堆书绊倒了。

Sludge is sniffing them. He has been sniffing them since Rosamond knocked on my door this morning. She was carrying a bunch of books. Three more were piled on her head. Rosamond looked very strange. Rosamond looked strange all the time. I have great news, she said. I have started a book club. I'm calling it Rosamond's Ready Readers. But there is trouble in the club. One of the members is trying to wreck my cookbook. Look! Rosamond took a book off her head. The other two books fell off. Why are you carrying books on top of your head? I asked. Because I'm president of a club now.

斯拉基正在闻这些书，从今早罗莎蒙德敲我家门开始，他就一直在闻。 她抱了一摞书，头顶上还摞了三本。 罗莎蒙德看起来怪得很，她本来就一直怪怪的。 “我有个好消息，”她说，“我办了个读书俱乐部。” 我给它起名叫“罗莎蒙德的快乐小读者”，不过俱乐部出麻烦了。 有个成员想弄坏我的食谱书，你看！ 罗莎蒙德从头顶拿下一本书，另外两本掉了下来。 “你为什么把书顶在头上呀？”我问。 因为我现在是俱乐部的主席啦。

These books helped me hold my head high and look like a president. I, Nate the Great, knew that I was looking at a very strange president.

这些书能帮我抬着头，看起来更像主席。 我大侦探内特看得明明白白，这位主席可太奇怪了。

This is my new cookbook," she said. Yesterday, I left it open on my kitchen table after I made treats for the club meeting. When the meeting was over, I went to get the treats for the members. The page that was open was torn, ripped, ruined! Sludge and I looked at the page. I, Nate the Great, say that it was torn, ripped, ruined!

“这是我的新食谱，”她说。 昨天我给俱乐部聚会做好小点心之后，就把它摊开放在厨房桌子上了。 聚会结束的时候，我去给成员们拿小点心。 摊开的那一页被撕烂、扯碎，彻底毁了！ 我和斯拉基看了看那一页。 我大侦探内特可以作证，它确实被撕烂、扯碎，彻底毁了！
