Floppy went to the dock to watch a big ship coming in.

Nobody saw a boy fall into the water.

“ Superdog will save him,” someone said.

Everywhere Floppy went, people said, “There’s Superdog! He’s a hero.”

What will happen next?

"We can't use a helicopter."

我们需要去拿一根绳子给他。但是谁去呢？

其中的一个消防员叫道。

我们不能使用直升机。

I don't like being up here."

人们叫道：不要往下看，超级狗狗。

Biff was cross when she found Floppy on her bed.

"You know you mustn't sleep on the bed," she said.

"What a bad dog you are, Floppy!"

当 Biff 看到 Floppy 在她的床上的时候，她非常生气。

她说：你知道，你不准在床上睡觉的。

"I don't know," he thought.

"I'm a hero one minute, and a bad dog the next."

crept 非常缓慢地行进，蹑手蹑脚地移动

Floppy 跳下床，悄悄的下楼去。

Floppy ran into the park and hid inside a giant pipe.

"They won't find me in here," he thought.

"I don't want to be the Dog of the Year,

and I'm not Superdog. I'm just me.

I'm just a floppy old dog who wants a bit of peace."

Floppy 跑进了公园，躲在了一个巨大的管子里。

他想：他们不会在这里找到我的。

我不想成为年度狗狗，我也不是超级狗狗，我就是我。

我就是 Floppy，一只想要安静的老狗。

我们不是明星，我们不是超人，

我就是我！做最好的自己~

That's all for today.

Superdog

超级狗狗

The "Dog of the year Show" was on television.

"I love the way the dogs run so quickly," said Mum.

"They seem to enjoy it, too."

They watched a dog called Pepper.

She ran quickly and didn't make a mistake.

"I hope Pepper wins," said Chip.

电视里放着 “年度狗狗秀”。

妈妈说：我喜欢这种方式，狗狗跑的非常快。

他们似乎也很享受呢。

他们看到的那只小狗叫 Pepper。

她跑的很快，而且没有犯错。

Chip 说：我希望 Pepper 会赢。

The next dog was called Raffles.

Kipper liked him more than Pepper.

"I want Raffles to win," said Kipper.

"Look how fast he can run."

Everyone was excited as Raffles came to the end,

but he didn't win. Pepper did.

"I knew Pepper would do it," shouted Biff.

第二只狗狗叫 Raffles。

比起 Pepper，Kipper 更喜欢它。

Kipper 说：我想 Raffles 会赢。

瞧瞧，他跑的多快。

最后 Raffles 出现的时候，大家都很激动，

但是他没有赢，Pepper 赢了。

Biff 大叫：我就知道 Pepper 会赢。

Floppy was asleep on the floor.

Biff poked him with her toe.

"Wake up, Floppy," she said.

"Look at all these clever dogs on television.

Why can't you do clever things like them?"

Floppy opened one eye.

Then he yawned and went back to sleep.

Floppy 在地板上睡着。

Biff 用脚趾戳戳他。

她说：醒醒，Floppy，

瞧瞧电视上那些聪明的狗狗。

为什么你不能和他们一样聪明呢？

Floppy 睁开了一只眼睛。

然后，他打了个哈欠，又回去睡觉了。

The next day, Biff, Chip and Kipper went outside to play.

Wilf and Wilma came round.

Floppy was fast asleep on the grass.

"Did you see the 'Dog of the Year Show' on television? " asked Biff.

"Yes. It was brilliant," said Wilma.

第二天，Biff, Chip 和 Kipper 出去玩。

Wilf 和 Wilma 来玩。

Floppy 在草地上很快的睡着了。

Biff 问：你们在电视里看了 “年度狗狗秀” 吗？

Wilma 说：是的，它非常棒呢。

"I wonder if Floppy could do some of the things we saw on television," said Chip.

Biff found a box.

"Come on, Floppy," she said.

"Let's see what you can do.

Jump on this box."

Floppy looked at the box.

"Oh no! I'm too old to do tricks," he thought.

Chip 说：我在想，是不是 Floppy 也能做一些我们在电视里看到的事情呢？

Biff 找到了一个箱子。

她说：快来，Floppy。

让我们看看你能做些什么。

跳到这个箱子上来。

Floppy 看了看这个箱子。

他想：哦不！我太老了，不能再玩这些把戏了。

The children made a couse for Floppy.

It had all kinds of things for him to run round or jump over.

"We must give him a treat every time he does well," said Biff.

"That's the way to train a dog."

"Oh no!" thought Floppy. "I don't believe this."

孩子们为 Floppy 做了一个课程。

里面包括了很多内容，来回跑或者跳过。

Biff 说：每次 Floppy 做好的时候，我们都必须给他一点奖励。

那是训练狗狗的方法。

Floppy 想：哦不，我不相信这个。

At first, Floppy did quite well.

But he soon got tired and fed up.

He didn't like the way the children shouted at him all at the same time.

"I don't want to be Dog of the Year," he thought.

"I just want to be left alone."

"Oh Floppy! You're hopeless!" said Kipper.

首先，Floppy 做的很好。

但是不久他就累了，他放弃了。

他不喜欢孩子们叫他的这种方式，他们每次都是同时叫他的。

他想：我不想成为年度狗狗。

我只是想要一个人静静。

Kipper 说：Oh Floppy！你没希望了。

Wilma's mum came round.

She wanted to take everyone swimming.

Kipper liked going swimming with Wilma's mum.

"She always buys us an ice cream," he said.

Floppy was pleased, too.

Wilma 的妈妈来拜访。

她想要带大家去游泳。

Kipper 喜欢和 Wilma 的妈妈一起去游泳。

他说：Wilma 的妈妈总是会买冰激凌给我们吃的。

Floppy 也很高兴。

Floppy crept up to Biff's room.

He knew Biff and Chip wouldn't be back for a long time.

He was almost asleep when something made him open one eye.

The magic key was glowing.

Dogs don't have magic adventures by themselves, do they?

The magic began to work.

Floppy 爬到 Biff 的房间里。

他知道 Biff 和 Chip 不可能在短时间内回来。

他几乎快睡着了的时候，有什么东西让他睁开了一只眼睛。

是神奇钥匙亮了。

狗狗是不会自己去神奇冒险的吧。

神奇钥匙开始起作用了。

Floppy was in a big city.

The city was full of people and traffic.

Everyone was busy.

There was noise everywhere.

"Well," thought Floppy. "So this is the big city!

I've never seen so many people.

And I've never seen such tall buildings.

What a place!"

Floppy 在一个大城市里。

城市里充满了人和来往的车辆。

大家都很忙。

到处都是吵闹声。

Floppy 想：好吧，所以这就是大城市吧！

我从来没有见到过那么多的人。

我也从来没有见过那么高的大楼。

这地方真好啊！

Floppy explored the city.

He came to a steep hill.

A tram took people up and down the hill.

He had never seen buses like these before.

A lady went past with two dogs.

"What funny dogs," thought Floppy.

"I've neven seen dogs with coats on before."

Floppy 开始探索这个城市。

他来到一个陡峭的山坡。

一辆有轨电车带着人们上下坡。

他以前从来没有见过这样的巴士。

一个女士带着2只狗从 Floppy 的身边经过。

Floppy想：多有趣的狗。

我以前从来没有见过狗狗穿衣服。

There was a pram outside a shop.

In the pram was a baby.

Suddenly the pram began to move.

The baby's mother had forgotten to put the brake on.

At first, nobody saw the pram moving.

But then it began to move faster and faster.

"Stop that pram!" someone shouted.

有一辆婴儿车在商店的外面。

在婴儿车里有个小婴儿。

突然，婴儿车动了起来。

孩子的妈妈忘了给婴儿车刹车。

刚开始，没有人看到婴儿车在移动。

但是随后，它移动的越来越快了。

有人叫道：快让那辆婴儿车停下来！

The pram rolled out into the road.

By now, it was going too fast for anyone to stop it.

"Oh no!" screamed the mother. "My baby will be killed.

Do something, somebody."

Floppy saw the pram running down the hill.

"This looks like a job for me," he thought.

婴儿车滚到了路上。

到现在为止，因为它太快，以至于没有人可以让它停下来。

妈妈尖叫道：哦不，我的孩子死去的。

谁来做些什么。

Floppy 看到了那辆推车正滑下坡。

他想：这就像是我的一个工作。

Floppy ran after the pram and grabbed it with his teeth.

He stopped it just in time.

"Phew! That was a close thing," thought Floppy.

Everyone came running up.

"Did you see what that dog did?" shouted a man. "He's a hero."

"He saved my baby!" cried the mother.

Floppy 追着婴儿车，并用牙齿抓住了它。

他及时的停止了婴儿车。

Floppy 心想：Phew！真悬啊！

大家都跑上来。

有人叫道：你看到那条狗了吗？他是个英雄。

那个母亲哭着说：他旧了我的孩子。

Everyone made a fuss of Floppy.

"Did you see that dog?" people said.

"He stopped a runaway pram."

"He's a superdog," someone shouted.

"It was nothing," thought Floppy.

Then suddenly, he saw something else hoppening.

大家对 Floppy 备受瞩目。

人们说：你见过那只狗吗？

他阻止了一辆失控了的婴儿车。

有人叫道：他是一只超级狗狗。

floppy 想：这没什么。

然后突然，他看到又有事情发生了。

A lady had put her handbag with her shopping.

She was looking at the baby in the runaway pram.

Suddenly, a thief grabbed the handbag and ran away with it.

"Help!" shouted the lady. "My handbag has gone."

"Another job for Superdog," thought Floppy.

一个女士正带着手提包逛街。

她正看着那个失控的婴儿车里的孩子。

突然，一个小偷抓住了她的手提包，带着它逃走了。

那个女士大叫：救命啊！我的手提包不见了。

Floppy 想：超级狗狗又有工作了。

Floppy ran after the thief.

The thief tried to get over a wall,

but Floppy was too quick for him.

He grabbed the man by his trousers and the man dropped the handbag.

"Got you!" growled Floppy.

"All right! All right!" said the thief.

"I didn't mean to keep it anyway."

Floppy 追上那个小偷。

小偷企图跨过墙头，但是 Floppy 比他快。

他抓住了男人的裤子，这个男子丢下了手提包。

Floppy 吼道：抓住你了！

小偷说：好吧，好吧。我不要它了好吗。

People made a fuss of Floppy.

"This dog is a hero," someone shouted.

"He got my handbag back," said the old lady.

"It had all my money in it."

"This dog really is Superdog," said a man.

"It was nothing," thought Floppy.

人们对 Floppy 非常关注。

有人叫道：这只狗是超人。

那个老太太说：他拿回了我的手提包。

我所有的钱都在里面呢。

一个男子说：这只狗是超级狗狗。

Floppy 想：这没什么。

A big ship was coming in.

Floppy went to the dock to see it.

There were lots of people watching the ship.

Some of them were waving.

The people were so excited that some of them went too close to the edge of the dock.

Suddenly, Floppy saw something happen.

一艘大船即将驶入。

Floppy 去码头看它。

好多的人在看这艘大船。

一些人在挥手。

人们太激动了，以至于一些人靠的离码头的边缘太近。

突然，Floppy 看到有事情发生了。

A boy had fallen in the water.

Everyone was cheering, so nobody saw the boy fall in.

"Another job for Superdog," thought Floppy.

He jumped in the water and swam to the little boy.

"Oh no!" shouted a man. "It's my little boy.

He's in the water."

一个男孩子掉到了水里。

大家都在欢呼，没有人看到男孩子掉到水里。

Floppy 想：超级狗狗的工作来了。

他跳入水中，游向小男孩。

一个男人交道：哦不！那是我的小孩。

他掉到水里去了。

"Don't worry," someone called. "He'll be all right.

Superdog will save hime."

Floppy held the boy's shirt in his teeth and pulled the boy out of the water.

"What a dog!" said the man. "He saved my son."

"Think nothing of it," thought Floppy.

大家叫道：不要担心，他会没事的，

超级狗狗会救他的。

Floppy 用牙齿抓住男孩的衬衫，把小男孩推离了水面。

那个人说：真是条好狗，他救了我儿子的命。

Floppy 想：这是微不足道的一件事啦。

There was a story about Floppy in the newspaper.

There were some pictures of him, too.

Everyone wanted to read about Floppy the hero.

Floppy 的故事上了报纸。

上面还有一些 Floppy 的照片。

Fang, Hook and Snap met a lost dog.

"We were just offering to take him home."

"Don't worry," said Floppy. "I'll take him."

Floppy 看到所发生的这些。

他走到 Fang，Hook 和 Snap 那里。

他说：我希望你们不要对走失的狗狗怀有恶意。

Fang 说：额，不，当然不会，超级狗狗。

我们只是想带他回家。

Floppy 说：别担心，我会带他回家的。

Some men were working on a tall building.

But how?" shouted one of the firemen.

A crowd of people stood in the street.

Everyone looked up at the building.

"Someone will have to take the rope to him. But who?" shouted a man.

"Another little job for me," thought Superdog.

我们需要去拿一根绳子给他。但是谁去呢？

Floppy went to the rescue.

He took the rope in his teeth.

Then he went slowly along the girder to the man.

"Don't look down, Superdog," shouted the man.

"It's a long way to fall."

"Oh dear!" though Floppy.

"What am I doing in this adventure?

I don't like being up here."

Floppy 跑去营救。

他用牙齿咬着绳子。

然后他慢慢的向大梁走去。

人们叫道：不要往下看，超级狗狗。

这 是⼀段很长很长的路。

Floppy 心想：哦，天呢！

我在这个冒险中都做了些什么呀？

我不喜欢在这么高的地方。

The man grabbed the rope from Floppy.

"Thank you, Superdog," he called. "You're a real hero."

Everyone cheered.

Suddenly the magic key began to glow.

Biff was cross when she found Floppy on her bed.

"You know you mustn't sleep on the bed," she said.

"What a bad dog you are, Floppy!"

Floppy jumped off the bed, and crept downstairs.

"I don't know," he thought.

"I'm a hero one minute, and a bad dog the next."

当 Biff 看到 Floppy 在她的床上的时候，她非常生气。

她说：你知道，你不准在床上睡觉的。

Floppy，你真是一只坏狗狗！

Floppy 跳下床，悄悄的下楼去。

他心想：我不知道啊，上一分钟我还是英雄，这一分钟就变成坏狗狗了。
