Nate the Great and the Pillow Case

小侦探内特与枕套

I, Nate the Great, am a sleepy detective. My dog, Sludge, is a sleepy dog. We have just finished a sleepy case. It started a few hours ago. It was two o 'clock in the morning. I was not busy. I was sleeping. Sludge was sleeping. Suddenly, the telephone rang.

我是小侦探内特，困得眼皮都抬不起来。 我的狗斯莱奇也困得不行。 我们刚办完一个让人昏昏欲睡的案子。 事情要从几个小时前说起。 那时候是凌晨两点钟。 我没什么事要忙。 正睡得香呢。 斯莱奇也在睡觉。 突然，电话铃响了。

It woke us up. Who could be calling me in the middle of the night? Hello? I yawned. It was Rosamond. A pillowcase is missing, she said. Can you help me find it? No, I said, and I hung up. The telephone rang again. I answered it.

铃声把我们俩都吵醒了。 大半夜的谁会给我打电话呀？ “喂？” 我打了个哈欠。 是罗莎蒙德打来的。 她说：“我有个枕套不见了。” “你能帮我找找吗？” “不行。”我说完就挂了电话。 电话铃又响了。 我接起了电话。

Sleep on another pillowcase, I said. It's not my pillowcase, Rosamond said. It belongs to Big Hex. Your cat has a pillowcase? Of course, Rosamond said. I yawned. You want me to get up for my sleep to look for a cat's pillowcase?

我说：“换个枕套睡不就得了。” 罗莎蒙德说：“那不是我的枕套。” “是大赫克斯的。” “你的猫还有专属枕套啊？” 罗莎蒙德说：“那当然啦。” 我打了个哈欠：“你要我从被窝里爬起来” “就为了找一只猫的枕套？”

Yes, I thought that Big Hex could sleep without it, but he keeps pacing up and down, up and down, up and down. Doesn't he have a pillow to sleep on? Of course, that's why he needs the pillowcase. Rosamond was strange in the daytime, but she was even more strange at night. I knew that she would not let me sleep. I will take your pillowcase, case, I said. I put on my bathrobe and slippers. I wrote a note to my mother.

“对啊，我本来以为大赫克斯没枕套也能睡，可他一直走来走去，走过来” “走过去，来回走个不停。” “他没有枕头可以睡吗？” “当然有啊，所以才需要枕套嘛。” 罗莎蒙德白天就怪兮兮的，到了晚上更离谱。 我就知道她肯定不会让我好好睡觉的。 “这个枕套的案子，我接了。”我说。 我穿上浴袍和拖鞋。 给妈妈留了一张便条。
