可可英语() 让学英语更简单 Everyone in the apartment complex I lived in knew who Ugly was. Ugly was the resident tomcat. Ugly loved three things in this world: fighting, eating garbage, and, shall we say, love. 我住的公寓大楼里的每个人都认得这只丑八怪。丑八怪曾是小区里的流浪猫。在这个世界 上他只喜欢做三件事：战斗、吃垃圾，还有，应该说是爱吧。 The combination of these things combined with a life spent outside had their effect on Ugly. To start with, he had only one eye and where the other should have been was a gaping hole. He was also missing his ear on the same side, his left foot appeared to have been badly broken at one time, and had healed at an unnatural angle, making him look like he was always turning the corner.

Ugly always had the same reaction. If you turned the hose on him, he would stand there, getting soaked until you gave up and quit.
