第2节(2/4)

rtable they didn’t even notice what was happening.逐渐地,哼哼和唧唧的自信开始膨胀起来。面对成功,他们开始变得妄自尊大。在这种安逸的生活中,他们丝毫没有察觉到正在发生的变化。

As time went on, Sniff and Scurry continued their routine. They arrived early each morning and sniffed and scratched and scurried around Cheese Station C, inspecting the area to see it there had been any changes from the day before. Then they would sit down to nibble on the cheese.随着时间的流逝,嗅嗅和匆匆日复一日地重复着他们的生活。

每天早早地赶到奶酪C站,四处闻一闻、抓一抓,看看这区域和前一天有什么不一样。等到确定没有任何异常后他们才会坐下来细细品味奶酪,好好享受一番。One morning they arrived at Cheese Station C and discovered there were no cheese.一天早上,当嗅嗅和匆匆到达奶酪C站时,发现这里已经没有奶酪了。

嗅嗅扬起他的鼻子闻了闻,朝匆匆点点头,匆匆立刻拔腿跑向迷宫的深处,嗅嗅则紧跟其后。They were quickly off in search of New Cheese.他们开始迅速行动,去别的地方寻找新的奶酪,甚至连头都没有回一下。
