19 Time for Lunch

Time for Lunch!

时间吃午饭!

One day, Pip was walking home from the library. A fox was following her, but she wasn't scared. Pip wasn't big or strong, but she was a clever little chick. Suddenly, the fox jumped out. "How are you, little chick?" he said. "I'm fine, thank you," said Pip. "No, you're not," snarled the fox. "I'm going to eat you for my lunch."

一天，皮普从图书馆走回家。 一只狐狸在跟着她，但她并不害怕。 皮普不高大也不强壮，但她是一只聪明的小鸡。 突然，狐狸跳了出来。 “你好吗，小鸡?”他说。 “我很好，谢谢你，”皮普说。 “不，你不是。”狐狸咆哮道。 “我要把你当午餐吃了。”

The fox licked his lips and opened his mouth wide. "Wait!" shouted Pip. "You can't eat a chick for lunch without bread. "Can't l?" said the fox. "No. It says so in my book," said Pip. The fox thought about this. He did like sandwiches. "I'll get some bread," he said. "Wait here!" He started to run to the farmer's house. Then he stopped. "You can't trick me," he said. "I'm taking you with me.

狐狸舔了舔嘴唇，张大了嘴巴。 “等等!”Pip喊道。“午餐不能没有面包就吃小鸡。 “不行吗?”狐狸说。“没有。 我的书上是这么说的，”匹普说。 狐狸想了想。 他确实喜欢三明治。“我去买些面包，”他说。 “在这儿等着!”他开始向农夫的家跑去。 然后他停止了。“你骗不了我，”他说。 “我要带你一起走。

The fox went to the farmer's house and took some bread. "Time for lunch!" said the fox. "Wait!" shouted Pip. "You can't eat a chick sandwich without salt." "Can't l?" said the fox. "No. It says so in my book," said Pip.

狐狸来到农夫的家里，拿了一些面包。 “午饭时间到了!”狐狸说。 “等等!”Pip喊道。"你不能吃没有盐的小鸡三明治" “不行吗?”狐狸说。“没有。 我的书上是这么说的，”匹普说。

The fox thought about this. He did like salt on his sandwiches. "I'll get some salt," he said. The fox took some salt from the farmer's house. He put it on his sandwich.

狐狸想了想。 他确实喜欢在三明治上撒盐。 “我去拿点盐，”他说。 狐狸从农夫的房子里拿了一些盐。 他把它放在三明治上。

"Time for lunch!" said the fox. "Wait!" shouted Pip. "You can't eat a chick sandwich without pepper." "Why not?" asked the fox. "It says so in my book," said Pip. The fox thought about this. He was very hungry, but he did want his lunch to be the best. "I'll get some pepper," he said.

“午饭时间到了!”狐狸说。 “等等!”Pip喊道。"你不能吃没有胡椒的小鸡三明治" “为什么不呢?”狐狸问。“我的书上是这么说的，”匹普说。 狐狸想了想。 他很饿，但他确实希望他的午餐是最好的。 “我去拿点胡椒粉，”他说。
