The Unburied Cat | 未被埋葬的猫

English Original

Late one night, Jim let his dog out. After watching TV, he went to let the dog back in. To his horror, the dog had his neighbor's dead cat in its mouth. "Bad dog!" Jim panicked.

Unable to face his neighbor, Jim decided to clean the cat and place it on the neighbor's porch. He spent a long time in the bathroom, washing the cat four times until it was spotless. He blow-dried and brushed its white fur, then put its collar back on. Under cover of darkness, he sneaked into the neighbor's yard and laid the cat by the front door.

The next morning, as Jim headed to his car, his neighbor greeted him. "Something weird happened last night," the neighbor said. Jim, now sweating, asked what it was.

"Well," the neighbor replied, "my cat died yesterday. We buried him. But this morning, he was lying on my front porch!"


中文翻译

一天深夜,吉姆让他的狗出去。看完电视后,他去把狗叫回来。令他惊恐的是,狗嘴里叼着邻居家死去的猫。"坏狗!"吉姆惊慌失措。

吉姆无法面对邻居,决定把猫清理干净,然后放到邻居的门廊上。他在浴室里花了很长时间,把猫洗了四遍,直到一尘不染。他吹干并梳理了猫白色的毛发,然后给它戴回项圈。趁着夜色,他溜进邻居的院子,把猫放在了前门旁。

第二天早上,吉姆去开车时,邻居跟他打招呼。"昨晚发生了件怪事,"邻居说。吉姆开始冒汗,问是什么事。

"嗯,"邻居回答,"我的猫昨天死了。我们把它埋了。但今天早上,它却躺在我的前门廊上!"
