     One day in autumn, I went strolling with my friend Christopher(Chris for short) when a girl we knew rode a bike past us.
    在一个秋高气爽的日子里，我正和我的朋友Christopher漫步， 一个我们认识的女孩子骑着自行车从我们身边经过。
     "Hi, Kevin!"She shouted as she past.
     “你好，多多！”她骑过去时跟我大声打着招呼。
     That's when I noticed the strangest thing in the history of the world, she had a snake around her neck! I 've seen snakes strangle people and swallow then whole! I wanted to ask why so I tore after her. When I caught up I was out of breathe.
     那时我注意到世界史上最奇怪的事情，有一条蛇环绕在她脖子上！我看到过蛇勒死并生吞某个人！我想知道这是怎么一回事就冲了过去。当我赶上她时， 我已经喘不过气来了。
    "Why... pant..do... pant...you...pant... have...pant...a snake?" I finally managed.
    “你...(喘气)为什么...(喘气)有...(喘气)条...蛇?”我好不容易才说出话来。
    "Why? It's my pet!" she answered.
     “为什么？它是我的宠物！”她回答道。
     Just then the snake got scared and slipped away.
     就在这时，那条蛇被吓到滑下来跑掉了。
     "Get him back!" she cried.
     “把它捉回来！”她喊道。
     "Run for your lives!" my brother Eddie told his friend Raymond. （弟弟和弟弟的朋友都在文章里）
     “快逃命啊！”弟弟啸啸对他的朋友Raymond说。
     "More like 'Run for your wives!'"I snorted. (哈哈！太幽默了！这个snort还能这么用呢！)
      “怎么听着像是快逃婚啊！”我用鼻子哼道。 （这里多多用了英文押韵的谐音， 很难准确翻译，原意是‘快追老婆去。’）
     We chased the snake across the ground, up the bars down half way slide  and (only me) over a fence. The fence was a good speed up because of the protest of who will go.
     我们追赶那条蛇穿过一片地，越过滑楼梯，（只有我）翻过了栅栏。这个栅栏是对我们速度的考验。
     "You go!" commanded Chris.
     “你去吧！”Chris要求到.
     "Kevin, help me!"She cried.
     “多多！帮帮我！”她叫道。
     "Ok!" I screamed over their voices and I took off chasing. (瞧， 这个人英雄主义！就他一个人能翻过栅栏拯救全世界似的！)
     “好的！”我对他们大叫道， 开始了我的追逐。
     The snake went around a narrow jam between two storage rooms. It will be hard for you but no problem for me! I'm skinny! (like my family says or you can say complains?)But I only found an unmoving snake that looked a bit odd. I showed it to her and she burst(这小家伙真会用词) into tears.
     那条蛇从两间房子中间狭窄的空道跑了。 你可能过不去，可是我能。因为我很瘦。可是我看见一条不动的蛇， 这条蛇看起来怪怪的。 我把蛇拿给她看， 她眼中含满了泪水。
     “Don't worry, I 'll take you to the pet store.”I said in a hurry. We walked together toward the pet store. After showing it to the owner, she told us it was just skin.
     “别着急，我会把你带到宠物店去。”我匆忙地说。我们一起走到宠物店。 当店主看到那条蛇后，她告诉我们那仅仅是蛇蜕。
     "Then where's the snake? The snake needs skin." I inquired.
     “那蛇在哪里啊？蛇需要表皮啊？”我问道。
     "It shed it's skin."She answered.
      “蛇把表皮蜕掉了。”她回答。
     "Then that means the snake is running around with no skin!"I exclaimed.
      “那是不是意味着蛇没有皮就跑掉了！”我惊叫道。
     "No, no, not like that. The snake sheds its skin when it already grew new skin."she corrected.
      “不对， 不是这样的。 蛇在蜕皮的时候就已经长出新的表皮了。”她更正道。
     "Then what's this skin for if it always grows new skin?"I asked.
      “那蛇为什么总要长出新的表皮来呢？”我问道。
     "The snake needs different sizes."She answered. But I don't give up questioning easily.
     “蛇需要尺寸大小不一样的表皮。”她回答。 我可不会那么轻易的就放弃提问。
     "Then it needs this skin, like what if it shrinks?"I grinned.
      “那蛇一定需要这张皮，要是它变小了怎么办？”我坏笑道。
     "Huh?" she said as starting to get confused. Huh, this makes no sense.
      “啊？”她被我搞糊涂了。
     "Well, lets go find that snake!" Chris said.
     “好了，我们还是去找那条蛇去吧！”Chris说。
     They had to beg me again because I am a very experienced climber and a good detective. I took out a old camera and started taking pictures, "Later we can compare then."
     他们又要求我了， 因为我很擅长攀爬， 还是个很好的侦探。我带上一个老的相继开始了拍照，“我们可以比较这些照片。”
     One of my pictures looked a bit odd! I climbed on the roof of a storage room and took out a microphone and hold it out while the earphone in my ear. I heard something odd! Hisss... I poked my finger into the storage room. I felt something odd! I poked my nose into a hole in a log. I smelled something odd! Then, I compared the picture to the ground. Something was different. Then, I compared sound, Something was different. After I compared touch. Something was different. Lastly, I compared smell. Something was different. The ground, window, roof, and log has proven guilty. Then I sat down at a tree, thinking! This snake grew a lot! Four places at once! I felt jelly on my cheek. My tongue went out to lick it. Some weird taste swept across my tongue. The tree also proven guilty! Then, something moving caught my eye. It was the snake! It wasn't that big. It climbed up a tree. The tree was humongous! But I climbed after it as my friends(plus one girlfriend) cheered for me. I thought I heard music playing, the kind in video games when the good guy comes to save the world. I wasn't up to save the world but to save the girl's pet. I finally caught up at the top. I laid down my arm and the snake went on my arm. The snake looked down and curled up scared. I pulled off a branch and smacked it into the tree. Errch! It brought me down like an elevator.
      其中一张照片看起来有点怪异！我爬上了储藏室的屋顶， 拿出了一个麦克风， 我举着麦克风，耳机插在我的耳朵里。我听见奇怪的声音！嘶……我用手指戳进储藏室，感觉有些怪。我把我的鼻子凑近木头的一个洞口上， 我闻到一股奇怪的味道。然后，我比较了一下照片和当时的地面状况， 有些不同。我又比较了一下声音，味道， 触摸的感觉， 都不大一样。地面， 窗户，房顶， 木头都有可疑的痕迹。于是我坐在一棵树上，思考。这条蛇一定长了很多，在这么多地方都留下了痕迹。我觉得有果冻状的东西掉在我脸颊上。 我伸出了舌头舔了舔。奇怪的味道一下子传遍我整个舌头。这棵树也可疑！这时， 一个移动的物体吸引住了我的视线。 是那条蛇！它没有我想的那么大。 它爬上了树。这棵树巨大无比。我攀爬追逐着那条蛇，朋友们（包括一个女朋友）在为我呐喊加油。 我觉得我听见了音乐声，就是那种在游戏里当某个好人拯救了世界时放出的声音。我没有拯救世界，仅仅是救了一个女孩子的宠物。我最后爬到了最高点， 我把胳膊平放着， 蛇爬上了我的胳膊。 这条蛇看着下面， 蜷着身体抬起头有点害怕的样子。我拉下一个树枝， 使劲插进了树干。 哧! 这个树枝就像一个电梯一样把我带了下来。
      The snake was home at last!
      蛇终于得救回家了。
      (The End!)
