小侦探内特登上猫头鹰特快号

Chapter 1 Curvy beak, pointy claws I, Nate the Great, am a detective. Right now I am a clickety -clack, rocking back and forth detective. I am on a train. My dog Sludge is with me. He is a detective too. We are on a case. We are bodyguards. For an owl, her name is Hoot. She belongs to my cousin, Olivia Sharp.

第一章 弯弯的喙，尖尖的爪 我是小侦探内特，是个侦探。现在我是个听着咔哒咔哒声、晃来晃去的侦探。 我现在在火车上，我的狗狗斯拉奇跟我在一起，他也是个侦探。我们正在办案，现在是保镖哦。 我们保护的是一只猫头鹰，她叫呼呼，是我表妹奥利维亚·夏普的。

The case started this morning. Sludge and I were visiting Olivia in San Francisco. Olivia is also a detective. This morning she said, Hoot needs to take a train to a special owl doctor in Los Angeles. A plane is faster, I said. Hoot doesn't like to fly, she said. I, Nate the Great, say that is a good enough reason for an owl to see a doctor. Olivia tossed her boa around her neck. She always wears a boa. Glad you think so, she said. Then she tossed her boa around my neck.

这件案子是今天早上开始的。 我和斯拉奇当时正在旧金山探望奥利维亚。 奥利维亚也是个侦探。 今天早上她跟我说： 呼呼得坐火车去洛杉矶看专门的猫头鹰医生。 坐飞机更快呀，我说道。 呼呼不喜欢飞哦，她回答。 我小侦探内特觉得，对猫头鹰来说这理由完全说得通。 奥利维亚甩了甩围在脖子上的长羽毛围巾。 她总是围着这条羽毛围巾。 真高兴你也这么想，她说道。 说着她就把羽毛围巾甩到了我的脖子上。

looked me straight in the eye and said, You'll take Hoot on the train for me. I know I can count on you. Olivia pulled me over to a covered birdcage. She lifted the cover.

她直直盯着我的眼睛说： 你帮我带呼呼坐火车去吧。 我知道你肯定靠得住。 奥利维亚把我拉到一个盖着布的鸟笼旁边。 她掀开了盖布。

I looked into two huge staring eyes. Then I saw a big head, a curvy beak, and sharp, pointy claws. What big eyes she has, I said. Yes, and she's easy to feed, Olivia said. She eats mice. You have told me, Nate the Great, more than I want to know. But Olivia wasn't finished.

我对上了两只瞪得圆圆的大眼睛。 接着我看到了大大的脑袋、弯弯的喙，还有尖利的小爪子。 她的眼睛可真大呀，我说道。 对呀，而且她很好喂的，奥利维亚说。 她吃老鼠哦。 我小侦探内特表示，你说的我已经听得够多了。 可奥利维亚还没说完呢。
