Now this is what had been happening to Tom Kitten, and it shows how very unwise it is to go up a chimney in a very old house, where a person does not know his way, and where there are enormous rats. 现在，让我们讲一讲发生在小猫汤姆身上的遭遇吧，这个故事告诉我们，爬山一座老房子的烟囱里是一件多么不明智的事情，在里面很容易迷路，而且那里还有许多大耗子。 Unwise 不明智的 Chimney 烟囱 Enormous 巨大的 THE TALE OF SAMUEL WHISKERS 络腮胡的塞缪尔 Tom Kitten did not want to be shut up in a cupboard. When he saw that his mother was going to bake, he determined to hide. He looked about for a nice convenient place, and he fixed upon the chimney. 小猫汤姆不想被关在碗橱里。当他看见妈妈要去烤面包时，便决定躲起来。 他环顾四周，想找一个便于藏身的好地方，然后，他选中了烟囱。 Shut up 关闭 Cupboard 碗橱 Bake 烘焙 The fire had only just been lighted, and it was not hot; but there was a white choky smoke from the green sticks. Tom Kitten got upon the fender and looked up. It was a big old-fashioned fire-place. The chimney itself was wide enough inside for a man to stand up and walk about. So there was plenty of room for a little Tom Cat. 壁炉里的火刚被点燃，还不算热，不过，呛人的白烟从绿色的柴枝上升起来。小猫汤姆爬山壁炉的炉围，向上看了看，这是一个很大的老式壁炉。 烟囱内部非常宽敞，足够一个人站起来行走。因此，对小猫汤姆来说，这里有足够的空间让他躲藏。 Light 点燃 Choky窒息的 He jumped right up into the fire-place, balancing himself upon the iron bar where the kettle hangs. 他正好跳进壁炉里，在挂水壶的铁杆上让身体保持平衡 Tom Kitten took another big jump off the bar, and landed on a ledge high up inside the chimney, knocking down some soot into the fender. 小猫汤姆又往更高的地方跳了一大步，跳离了铁杆，跳到烟囱里的壁架上，他把一些烟灰碰掉了，散落在火炉的围栏上。 Ledge 壁架 Fender 火炉的围栏 Tom Kitten coughed and choked with the smoke; and he could hear the sticks beginning to crackle and burn in the fire-place down below. He made up his mind to climb right to the top, and get out on the slates, and try to catch sparrows. I cannot go back. If I slipped I might fall in the fire and singe my beautiful tail and my little blue jacket. 小猫汤姆被烟呛的咳嗽起来，几乎窒息，他能听到下面的柴枝开始噼啪作响，在壁炉里燃烧起来。他决心爬到壁炉顶上，从石板瓦上逃出去，然后去抓麻雀。 他想着：“我不能往回走，如果我滑倒了，就会掉进火堆里，把我漂亮的尾巴和小蓝夹克烧焦。” Crackle 发出劈啪响 Slate 石
