They hung up their jogging suits, put away their running shoes and put on their slippers. They were becoming very comfortable now that they had found the Cheese.每天,哼哼和唧唧到达奶酪C站以后,就像回到了自己家一样,舒适地呆在那里。
他们脱下身上的运动衣,把它们挂起来,甩掉脚上的鞋子,换上拖鞋。他们找到了奶酪,感觉实在是太惬意了。“This is great,” Hem said. “There’s enough Cheese here to last us forever.” The little people felt happy and successful, and thought they were now secure.“真是太好了!
”哼哼说:“这里有这么多的奶酪,足够我们享用一辈子了。”小矮人们充满了幸福和成功的感觉,觉得从此可以无忧无虑了。
It wasn’t long before Hem and Haw regarded the Cheese they found at Cheese Station C as their cheese. It was such a large store of Cheese that they eventually moved their homes to be closer to it, and built a social life around it.不久,哼哼和唧唧更理所当然地认定,他们在奶酪C站发现的奶酪就是“他们自己的”奶酪了。
这里的奶酪库存是如此的丰富,于是他们决定把家搬到更靠近奶酪C站的地方,还在周围一带开展了他们的社交活动。
To make themselves feel more at home, Hem and Haw decorated the walls sayings and even drew pictures of Cheese around them which made them smile. One read:为了使这里有更象家的感觉,哼哼和唧唧把墙壁装饰了一通,还在墙上写了一些格言,并且精心地画上了一些非常可口的奶酪的图案。

Sometimes Hem and Haw would take their friends by to see their pile of Cheese at Cheese Station C, and point to it with pride, saying “pretty nice Cheese, huh?” Sometimes they shared it with their friends and sometimes they didn’t.有时,他们会带朋友来参观他们在奶酪C站里成堆的奶酪,自豪地指着这些奶酪说:“多么美妙可口的奶酪呀,不是吗?
”有时,他们还会与朋友们一起分享这些奶酪,而有时则单独享用。“We deserve this Cheese,” Hem said. “We certainly had to work long and hard enough to find it.” He picked up a nice fresh piece and ate it.“我们应该拥有这些奶酪,”哼哼说,“为了找到它们,我们可是付出了长期而艰苦的努力的,我们当然有资格拥有它们。
”他一边说着一边拿起一块鲜美的奶酪放进嘴里,享用起来,脸上流露出幸福的光彩。Afterwards, Hem fell asleep, as he often did.然后,就像往常一样,哼哼享受完奶酪便睡着了,梦中还露出满足而惬意的笑容。
Every night the little people would waddle home, full of Cheese, and every morning they would confidently return for home.每天晚上,小矮人们在美美地饱餐了奶酪后,就摇摇摆摆地走回家,第二天早上他们又会信心十足地走进奶酪C站,去享用更多奶酪。
