[00:00:16] Skimbleshanks 铁路猫 属于火车的猫

[00:00:16] There's a whisper down the line at eleven thirty-nine

[00:00:18] 在11点39分的时候有人窃窃私语

[00:00:18] When the night mail's ready to depart

[00:00:22] 那辆夜班邮政列车蓄势待发

[00:00:22] Saying "Skimble where is Skimble has he gone to hunt the thimble

[00:00:25] 有人问 Skimble在哪里 他去抓老鼠了吗

[00:00:25] We must find him or the train can't start "

[00:00:28] 我们必须找到他 否则火车无法启动

[00:00:28] All the guards and all the porters and the stationmaster's daughters

[00:00:31] 所有的守卫和搬运工以及站长的女儿们

[00:00:31] Would be searching high and low

[00:00:35] 到处在寻找他

[00:00:35] Saying "Skimble where is Skimble for unless he's very nimble

[00:00:38] 问道 Skimble去干什么了 除非有他的灵活敏捷

[00:00:38] Then the night mail just can't go"

[00:00:41] 不然那天晚上的邮件就不能发出去

[00:00:41] At eleven forty-two with the signal overdue

[00:00:45] 11点42分的时候发出了迟到的信号

[00:00:45] And the passengers all frantic to a man

[00:00:49] 所有的旅客都对那个男人抓狂

[00:00:49] That's when I would appear and I'd saunter to the rear

[00:00:52] 那才是我会出现的时刻 我会闲步走到车尾

[00:00:52] I'd been busy in the luggage van

[00:00:57] 我一直在行李车厢忙着

[00:00:57] Then he gave one flash of his glass-green eyes

[00:01:00] 然后他看了一眼所有嫉妒他的人

[00:01:00] And the signal went "All clear "

[00:01:03] 然后传来了一切都就绪的信号

[00:01:03] They'd be off at last for the northern part of the northern hemisphere

[00:01:10] 他们最终会离开去北半球的北边

[00:01:10] Skimbleshanks the railway cat the cat of the railway train

[00:01:18] Skimbleshanks 铁路猫 属于火车的猫

[00:01:18] You might say that by and large it was me who was in charge

[00:01:22] 你可以说 总体上是我在负责

[00:01:22] Of the sleeping car express

[00:01:25] 这辆卧铺快车

[00:01:25] From the driver and the guards to the bagmen playing cards

[00:01:28] 从司机和守卫 以及玩扑克的推销员

[00:01:28] I would supervise them all more or less

[00:01:32] 多多少少我都会监督一下他们

[00:01:32] Down the corridor he paces and examines all the faces

[00:01:35] 他沿着走廊检查所有

[00:01:35] Of the travellers in the first and the third

[00:01:38] 坐在第一个和第三个位置上的旅客

[00:01:38] He established control by a regular patrol

[00:01:41] 他通过巡逻来掌握信息

[00:01:41] And he'd know at once if anything occurred

[00:01:45] 这样一旦有什么事情发生 他能立刻就知道

[00:01:45] He would watch you without winking and he saw what you were thinking

[00:01:48] 他不用眨眼就能找到你 他也能看出你在想什么

[00:01:48] And it's certain that he didn't approve

[00:01:51] 当然他还没有证实过

[00:01:51] Of hilarity and riot so that folk were very quiet

[00:01:55] 嬉闹过后 人们很快平息

[00:01:55] When Skimble was about and on the move

[00:02:00] 因为Skimble在附近活动

[00:02:00] You could play no pranks with Skimbleshanks

[00:02:56] When they crept into their cozy berth and pulled the counterpane
