The Lost Key

丢失的钥匙

Kipper wanted a magic adventure, but the magic key would not glow. It had not glowed for a long time. "Maybe it will glow if I keep it with me," he thought, so he put it in his pocket.

基珀想要来一场魔法冒险， 可魔法钥匙却亮不起来。 它已经好久没亮过了。 “要是我把它带在身边，说不定它就会亮了。”他心想， 于是把钥匙放进了口袋。

Mum had to go shopping. She wanted Kipper to go with her. "I want to get you some new trainers," she said, "so come on." Kipper forgot he had the key in his pocket. On the way to the shops, Mum let Kipper stop and play. He ran to the rocket and the key fell out of his pocket and on to the grass. "Look at me, Mum!" he called.

妈妈要去购物。 她想让基珀跟她一起去。 “我要给你买几双新运动鞋，”她说，“走吧。” 基珀忘了自己口袋里装着钥匙。 去商店的路上，妈妈允许基珀停下来玩一会儿。 他跑向火箭造型的游乐设施时，钥匙从他口袋里掉出来，落到了草地上。 “看我呀，妈妈！”他喊道。

Kipper looked in his pockets but the key was not there. "Oh no!" said Kipper. "Where is the key? I can't have lost it, can I?" But he had lost the key. Kipper wanted to go and look for the key, but Mum would not let him. It had started to rain and Mum wanted to get home. "Ask Biff and Chip to look for it," she said.

基珀翻了翻自己的口袋，可钥匙不在里面。 “哦不！”基珀叫道。 “钥匙去哪了？我不可能把它弄丢了，对不对？” 可他确实把钥匙弄丢了。 基珀想回去找钥匙，可妈妈不同意。 天开始下雨了，妈妈想赶紧回家。 “让比夫和奇普帮你找吧。”她说。

A man came to cut the grass. He cut it with a mower. The mower ran over the magic key with a clang. "What was that?" said the man. The key had broken the mower. "Grrrrr!" the man said, crossly. "Now I shall have to mend the mower." He was so cross that he threw the magic key in a bin.

一个男人来这里割草。 他用割草机割草。 割草机碾到了魔法钥匙，发出哐当一声响。 “那是什么东西？”男人说道。 钥匙把割草机弄坏了。“真是气死我了！” 男人生气地吼道。 “现在我还得修割草机。” 他气极了，直接把魔法钥匙扔进了垃圾桶。

Two boys came to play on the swings. One of the boys looked in the bin and found the key. "Look at this old, bent key," he said. "What shall we do with it?" The boys took the key with them. One of them had some string. He tied the key to the string and spun it round and round.

两个男孩来这里荡秋千。 其中一个男孩往垃圾桶里看了看，发现了钥匙。 “快看这把弯掉的旧钥匙。”他说。 “我们拿它做点什么好呢？” 男孩们把钥匙带走了。 其中一个男孩身上有绳子。 他把钥匙绑在绳子上，不停地转着圈甩。
