我想给你讲一个真实的故事。
I want to tell you a true story.
一年前，这件事发生在我的一个朋友身上。
It happened to a friend of mine a year ago.
我的朋友乔治在床上看书时，两个小偷爬进了他的厨房。
While my friend, George, was reading in bed, two thieves climbed into his kitchen.
他们进屋之后，走进了餐厅。
After they had entered the house, they went into the dining room.
天很黑，所以他们打开了手电筒。
It was very dark, so they turned on a torch.
突然，他们听到身后有个声音。
Suddenly, they heard a voice behind them.
"怎么回事？怎么回事？"有人喊道。
'What's up? What's up?' someone called.
小偷们丢下手电筒，尽可能快地逃跑了。
The thieves dropped the torch and ran away as quickly as they could.
乔治听到了响声，迅速下楼。
George heard the noise and came downstairs quickly.
他打开了灯，但一个人也没看到。
He turned on the light, but he couldn't see anyone.
小偷们早已逃走了。
The thieves had already gone.
但乔治的鹦鹉亨利还在那里。
But George's parrot, Henry, was still there.
"乔治，怎么了？"它叫道。
'What's up, George?' he called.
"没什么，亨利。"乔治笑着说。
'Nothing, Henry,' George said and smiled.
"回去睡觉吧。"
'Go back to sleep.'
