Animal Farm
Chapter 5
A thought struck Clover.
Without saying anything to the others, she went to Mollie's stall and turned over the straw with her hoof.
Hidden under the straw was a little pile of lump sugar and several bunches of ribbon of different colours.
Three days later Mollie disappeared.
For some weeks nothing was known of her whereabouts, then the pigeons reported that they had seen her on the other side of Willingdon.
She was between the shafts/ of a smart dogcart painted red and black, which was standing outside a public-house.
A fat red-faced man in check breeches and gaiters, who looked like a publican, was stroking her nose and feeding her with sugar.
Her coat was newly clipped and she wore a scarlet ribbon round her forelock.
She appeared to be enjoying herself, so the pigeons said.
None of the animals ever mentioned Mollie again.
translation
- 一个念头闪过克拉弗的脑海。
- 她没有和其他人说，就去了莫丽的马厩，用蹄子刨起了稻草。
- 稻草下面藏着一堆方糖和几束各种颜色的缎带。
- 三天后，莫丽消失了。
- 几周以来，她的下落一直不明。后来，鸽子们报告说，他们在威灵顿的另一侧看到过她。
- 她被拴在一辆红黑相间的漂亮双轮马车的车辕之间，那车停在一家酒吧外面。
- 一个穿着格子裤和腿套的红脸胖男人，看上去像个酒吧老板，正在抚摸着她的鼻子并喂她吃糖。
- 她的皮毛刚被修剪过，前额的刘海上还系着一条猩红色的缎带。
- 鸽子们说，她看起来似乎很享受。
- 动物们再也没有提起过莫丽。
