"Then send your cat," said Mr. Fitzwarren. “那就把你的猫捎去，”费茨沃伦先生说。

Everybody laughed. 大伙儿都笑了。

With tears in his eyes, Dick carried her down to the ship. 迪克眼含泪水，把猫抱上了船。

After that, the cook was crueler than ever. 打那以后，厨子比以前更刻薄了。

and they seemed to be saying something. 听上去仿佛在说着什么。

"Turn again, Whittington, Lord Mayor of London." “回头吧，惠廷顿，伦敦的市长大人。”
