ANGUS AND WAG-TALL-BESS

chapter1

Once there was an Airedale puppy and she was named Wag - Tail - Bess because her Mother’s name was Bess and her Father’s name was Wags.

But Wag - Tail - Bess never wagged her tail or stuck up her ears or smiled as an Airedale should, so she was called plain Bess.

曾经有一只爱尔谷犬，名叫摇尾巴狗贝丝，因为她妈妈的大名叫贝丝，父亲则叫摇尾巴狗。

但贝丝从来不会像一只爱尔谷犬那样，摇一下尾巴，竖起耳朵，或露出一丝微笑。所以大家都叫她平庸的贝丝。

Bess was so shy she was afraid of almost everything, although she was big enough to know better.

When Bess was Outdoors she was afraid to come Indoors, and when she was Indoors she was afraid to go Outdoors.

贝丝很害羞，她几乎对所有的东西都感到害怕，尽管她已经长大了，该更好地知道些事儿了。

当贝丝在屋外时，她害怕进到屋里；但她在屋里玩时，又害怕到屋外去。

When Bess was taken walking she was afraid to walk forward, so she would try to walk backwards, and when she couldn’t go backwards —

当贝丝被牵着溜弯时，她不敢往前走，于是总想往回溜。当她无法往回走时，

She would lie down.

便赖在地上不走了—— vFJLfo6aCIHG7fj1ueos0G9Ftl5ACAW2KpW30Sq1u/JEShZ/NqmOWx2+osyaDZbc
