第 59 课 · 进来还是出去? Lesson 59 · In or out?

我们的狗雷克斯过去常常坐在前门外面吠叫。

Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark.

每次他想进花园时,他就会一直叫,直到有人把门打开。

Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.

由于邻居们抱怨噪音,我丈夫花了好几周时间训练他用爪子按下门闩,让自己进来。

As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.

雷克斯很快就成了开门的专家。

Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.

然而,上周我出门去购物的时候,我注意到他在花园里靠近门的地方。

However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate.

这一次他在叫,是为了让人放他出去!

This time he was barking so that someone would let him out!

从那以后,他又养成了另一个坏习惯。

Since then, he has developed another bad habit.

他一从外面把门打开,就进入花园,然后等着门关上。

As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts.

然后他就坐下来叫,直到有人放他出去。

Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out.

这之后他立刻让自己进来,又开始吠叫。

After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again.

昨天我丈夫把门拆掉了,雷克斯气得我们从此再也没见过他。

Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
