周日的清晨随着鸡叫声开始,被吵醒的詹金斯愣了很久才开始思考自己家附近怎么会有打鸣的公鸡。Hesuspectedfrom the beginningthatisChocolatecries outheto get out of bedin the imitationchicken, thatcatis always strange, even ifwill say that the logical expressionis not unusual. Butafterwarddiscoverednowis onlymorning5 : 30, from the Chocolatebreakfast houralsoearly.
他一开始怀疑那是巧克力在模仿鸡叫唤他起床,那只猫向来古古怪怪,就算会说人话也不稀奇。但后来又发现现在才只是早晨的五点半,距离巧克力的早饭时间还早。Jenkinhas moved to the bedrooms in twobuildingsnow, restson the bedwithrests the difference is not bigon the floor. Early springdawntimeearly, but5 : 30 stillcannot see the dawn. The window curtainsis shutting tightly, Jenkinfelt that oneselfcould not have fallen asleep, thereforethengoes down the bedto open the door of bedroomto arrive at the corridor, makingstay in the bedroomin the cat that on the bedis not willingto get upalone.詹金斯现在已经搬到二楼的卧室了,在床上睡和在地板上睡差别并不大。初春天亮的时间早了很多,但五点半依然看不到晨光。窗帘紧闭着,詹金斯感觉自己已经睡不着了,于是便走下床推开卧室的门来到走廊,让赖在床上不肯起来的猫独自留在卧室。In the corridorhas not turned on the light, Jenkinfeelsgoes down the staircaseblack, withoutchangingpajamas, buthad the coatto go out of the house.
走廊中没有开灯,詹金斯摸着黑走下楼梯,没有换下睡衣,而是披着外衣就走出了房子。
The sound that the chickenwas calledcame from the next doorGoodmanfamily/home, stoodlooks into the distanceto that sideunder the window eaves of house, justsaw that a full of vigorredcrowncockerelstoodinbigstockadestwocourtyards.

鸡叫的声音来自隔壁古德曼家,站在房屋的雨檐下向那边眺望,刚好看到一只精神饱满的红冠公鸡站在两家院子中间的高大栅栏上。注意到詹金斯在看它,那只鸡居然扑扇着翅膀从栅栏上跳了下来,然后穿过半个院子,跳上詹金斯为巧克力准备但从来没用过的废弃猫窝,绕过前任房主留下的那棵树,踩踏刚刚冒出新芽的草坪,一步步的走到了詹金斯的面前抬起头看着他。„......”
“......”
After severalminutes, wore the Jenkin of pajamasandslippersoundedGoodmanfamily/homestockadeentrancebell, hehas not goneto hugthatchicken, becauseitfollowedvery muchobedientbehind the foot of Jenkin.
几分钟后,穿着睡衣和拖鞋的詹金斯拉响了古德曼家栅栏门口的铃铛,他没有去抱那只鸡,因为它很听话就跟在詹金斯的脚后面。
The people of Goodmanfamily/homeare sleepingprobably, the bellmakes a sound the openinggate that verylongMr.Goodmanhad a drowsy look, because of the hindrance of stockade, hecannot see the cockerel after Jenkinfoot, but alsothinks that isJenkinhas the matterto look forhim.
古德曼家的人大概在睡觉,铃铛响了很久古德曼先生才睡眼惺忪的打开门,因为栅栏的阻碍,他看不到詹金斯脚后的公鸡,还以为是詹金斯有事找他。Greetedwhilein the trailalongcourtyardto walk, thisnoticedthatonly should not appearin the lifeform of thisstreet.
一边打招呼一边沿着院子中的小径走出来,这才注意到那只不应该出现在这条街的生物。„, Tommy, youhere? Sorry, Mr.Williams, Ithinks that thislittle fellowput to troubletoyou.”
“哦,汤米,你怎么在这里?抱歉,威廉姆特先生,我想这个小家伙给你添麻烦了。”Was sayingheopens the fence gate, known extremely wellhugsthatchicken. Was calledmakesbirdsome of Tommynot to prefer, butwas huggedbyMr.Goodman.
说着他打开栅栏门,熟稔的去抱那只鸡。被唤做“汤米”的禽类有些不情愿,但还是被古德曼先生抱了起来。AlthoughJenkindid not approve that raisessuchlifeformto take the pet, butthis is really a petchicken. Mr.Goodman the family/homewill certainly not raisethistype of thing, thisis the relativeincountrysideasksthemto look aftertemporarily.
虽然詹金斯并不赞成饲养这样的生物作为宠物,但这真的是一只宠物鸡。古德曼先生家当然不会养这种东西,这是他们在乡下的亲戚拜托他们暂时照顾的。Tommywas closedin the basket of kitchen, butfed the laterbasketnot to closelast night, itescaped a living room in buildingfrom the kitchen, andleft behindsomedisgustingthingson the sofa, laterdrilledfrom the study roomwindow, andawakened by noise the neighbor in next dooron time.
原本“汤米”被关在厨房的笼子中,但昨晚喂食以后笼子没关,它从厨房逃到了一楼的客厅,并在沙发上遗留了一些恶心的东西,随后从书房的窗户钻了出来,并准时的吵醒了隔壁的邻居。Mr.GoodmanapologizedtoJenkinfor not the politebehavior of thischicken, Jenkinbeckoned with the handto express that thishad nothing.
古德曼先生为这只鸡的不礼貌行为向詹金斯道歉,詹金斯摆摆手表示这没什么。Heturns around to leave, is thinkingbefore the train stationgreets the family member who the outward passagereturns, whether can also restoneto doze off again after waking up early, butwas also stopped by calling outbyMr.Goodman.
他转身想要离开,思索着在去火车站迎接外出旅行归来的家人前,是否还能睡一个回笼觉,但却又被古德曼先生叫住了。„Mr.Williams, had a matterIto wantwithyouto say.”
“威廉姆特先生,有件事我想要和你说一下。”Jenkinalwaysholds very goodimpressiontoownneighborGoodmanone, mirror that especiallyinmirrorhas run intoMr.Goodman, heveryweak, thison behalf ofgoodmental stateandoptimisticmentality.詹金斯向来对自己的邻居古德曼一家抱有很好的印象,特别是镜界中遇到过古德曼先生的镜像,他非常的弱,这代表着良好的心理状况和乐观的心态。„Pleasesay.”
“请说。”Jenkinsaid, the eyelookedtopetchicken that runs all over the placein the courtyard. Hedoes not know after Chocolateseesthislifeform, what kind ofattitudecanbe, butwantsto come should not to spare a glance.詹金斯说道,眼睛看向在院子里乱跑的宠物鸡。他不知道巧克力看到这只生物后会是怎样的态度,但想来应该是不屑一顾。„Youmoved inthisstreet in the fall of last year, in fact, neighborsevery yearwill organizecommunityto get together a time, probablyis the presentseason.”
“你是去年秋季才搬来这条街,事实上,邻居们每年都会组织一次社区聚会,大概就是现在的季节。”Saying, the middle-aged manaims atthisstreetSaint George Street No. 1direction.
说着,中年男人指向这条街圣乔治大街一号方向。„ThatisAttorneyBellone, theylived for more than tenyearsinthisstreet, communitymeetingalsoby their organization. The content of meeting, signs«Friendly neighborAgreement»probably, discussed that sharing of newyear of communityservice fee, as well asknows the newneighbor. Youlook, last yearthisstreetchangedmanypeople.”
“那是贝尔律师一家,他们在这条街住了十多年了,社区聚会也是由他们一家组织的。聚会的内容,大概是重新签订《友好邻居协议》,商议新的一年社区服务费的分摊,以及认识一下新的邻居。你瞧,去年这条街可是换了不少的人。”«Friendly neighborAgreement»is the inhabitants in Saint George Streetdraws uptogether, does not have the autonomoustreaty that compulsorybutjointlyobserves. In the agreementcontainssuch as„does not allowraisinglarge-scalepetdog”„„ on timenot to reorganize” the ownlawn the rented housingfor the factiontoplace ” and so on projects, althoughwill not observesomepeoplenot to fine, communityrepel that but for was not by oneself, no onespecially and neighborswill oppose.
《友好邻居协议》是圣乔治大街的住户们一同拟定的,不带有强制性但共同遵守的自治条约。协议内包含诸如“不允许饲养大型宠物犬”“不将房屋出租为派对场所”“按时整理自己的草坪”等等项目,虽说不遵守也不会有人罚款,但为了不被自己所在的社区排斥,也没有人会专门和邻居们作对。Jenkinmoves tothisstreettime, the formerowner in housedirectlygavehimthatagreement and housetransfercontracttogether, Jenkinalsodefers toagreement'sninth„concernedcommunitynewinhabitantmoves in” requirement, mustcometo beownthatagreementinSaint George Street1 st there.詹金斯搬到这条街的时候,房屋的前任主人直接将那份协议和房屋转让合同一同交给了他,詹金斯也按照协议第九条“有关社区新住户入住”的要求,在圣乔治大街一号那里要来了属于自己的那份协定。But the communityservice feeisexpense that because the municipal constructiondid not proposecompletely, every yearpaidonetime, was hired the manpowerto clean the snowbyeveryonein the winter, autumnswept clear the fallen leaf. Part of Dr.Colson who pay to the outskirt, ashealth fund.
而社区服务费则是因为市政建设不完备而提出的费用,每年缴纳一次,由大家雇佣人手在冬天清扫积雪,秋天清扫落叶。还有一部分支付给住在街尾的科尔森医生,作为医疗基金。Thissum of moneyis supervisedto usebyeveryone, reason that becauseoneyearties, Jenkinuseoriginally of payment, butsomeeach monthend of the monthpeoplemail the surplus of communityservice feetohim.
这笔钱由大家监督使用,因为一年一结的缘故,詹金斯使用的还是原本缴纳的那一笔,但每个月的月尾还是有人给他寄来社区服务费的结余。„Without the issue, when the communitymeetingorganization, IthinksprobablyImustempty the time, recently was really is busy.”
“没问题,社区聚会大概什么时候组织,我想我要空出来时间,最近真是忙极了。”Jenkinlooks atMr.Goodman the lawn of family/homewhileasked.詹金斯一边看着古德曼先生家的草坪一边问道。„, Iran intoAttorneyBeltlast evening, hesaid that probablynext week, hewill send the invitation letterforour.”
“哦,我昨天傍晚遇到贝尔特律师了,他说大概在下周,他会将邀请信寄给我们的。”Mr.Goodman said that but alsomysticallookedtowardall around, as ifinsuspecting the thick patch of grassis hiding the neighbor of harboring evil intentions, is low voicetoJenkinsaid:
古德曼先生说完,还神神秘秘向着四周看了一下,似乎在怀疑草丛里藏着不怀好意的邻居,然后才小声对詹金斯说道:„Mr.Williams, Iheard,everyonemustat the meetinginquireissue that yourrelatedcommunityservice feeshares. Yourhousetakes the originalpositionandpitifulMadameMargaretnowsimultaneously the position of family/home, someneighborsthink that youshouldhavetwopound sterlings.......you to be readyahead of time.”
“威廉姆特先生,我可是听说,大家要在聚会中询问你有关社区服务费分摊的问题。你的房子现在同时占用了原本的位置和可怜的玛格丽特夫人家的位置,一些邻居认为你应该出两份金镑.......你要提前做好准备。”„Iunderstand, actuallythissaidalsoreasonable.”
“我明白,其实这说的也有道理。”Jenkinis nodding saying that hehas no viewregardingthismatter. Because the neighborssaidright, heindeed was also in the positions of twohouses, ifthereforemakeshimbeartwohouseholds of communitypublicresponsibility, actually is also veryreasonable.詹金斯点着头说道,他对于这件事没有什么看法。因为邻居们说得对,他的确同时占据了两栋房子的位置,如果因此让他负担起两户的社区公共责任,其实也是很合理的。HeardJenkinto saylike this,Mr.Goodmansaidimmediatelyhe was really a generousgoodneighbor. ButMr.Goodmanalso suggested that ifJenkinis not really willingto pay a money, then he neighbors in front ofcommunitywill certainly support the idea of Jenkin.
听到詹金斯这样说,古德曼先生立刻表示他真的是一个慷慨的好邻居。但古德曼先生同时也暗示,如果詹金斯真的不愿意多交一份钱,那么他一定会在社区的邻居们面前支持詹金斯的想法。
