" Let's go outside and watch Maggie's riding lesson," Henry suggested

“我们出去看玛吉的骑术课吧，”亨利建议道。

旁白 neutral

" Someone might do something suspicious."

“说不定有人会做出可疑的举动。”

旁白 neutral

" Okay. Maybe you should bring Maggie's sandals so they don't get stolen," Cole said

“好吧。也许你该把玛吉的凉鞋带上，免得被偷。”科尔说。

旁白 neutral

Henry was pretty sure Cole was joking. But he picked up the sandals anyway

亨利很肯定科尔是在开玩笑。但他还是拿起了凉鞋。

旁白 neutral

" That's a good idea," he said

“好主意，”他说。

旁白 neutral

" If these sandals disappear, Maggie's parents will freak out."

“要是这双凉鞋不见了，玛吉的父母会很着急的。”

旁白 neutral

Cole nodded." I think Maggie said the riding ring is this way."

科尔点点头。“我记得玛吉说练习场在这边。”

旁白 neutral

He headed toward the back door

他朝后门走去。

旁白 neutral

On their way out, the boys passed Jill

出门的时候，他们经过了吉尔。

旁白 neutral

She was trying to yank a wheelbarrow out of a stall

她正使劲把一辆手推车从马厩隔间里拽出来。

旁白 neutral

It was piled high with horse manure

上面高高地堆着马粪。

旁白 neutral

" Ugh!" Jill cried as the wheelbarrow almost tipped over

“哎呀！”吉尔叫道，手推车差点翻了。

旁白 neutral

Then she spotted the boys." Hey," she said." Will you two help me?

这时她看见了男孩们。“嘿，”她说，“你们俩能帮我一下吗？

旁白 neutral

My wheelbarrow is stuck."

我的手推车卡住了。”

旁白 neutral

" Sure." Henry put down the sandals. Then he and Cole grabbed the wheelbarrow

“没问题。”亨利放下凉鞋，然后和科尔一起抓住了手推车。

旁白 neutral

Working together, they soon pulled it into the aisle

齐心协力，他们很快就把车拉到了过道上。

旁白 neutral

" Whew! Thanks." Jill wiped sweat off her forehead

“呼！谢谢。”吉尔擦了擦额头上的汗。

旁白 neutral

" I thought I'd never get it out of there."

“我还以为再也弄不出来了呢。”

旁白 neutral

" Cleaning all these stalls must be hard work," Henry said

“打扫所有这些畜栏一定很辛苦吧，”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" It is." Jill frowned." And Ms. Wood doesn't pay me very much."

“是啊。”吉尔皱着眉头，“而且伍德小姐付给我的钱也不多。”

旁白 neutral

" So why do you do it?" Cole asked

“那你为什么还要做呢？”科尔问道。

旁白 neutral

" Because it's the only way to pay for extra riding lessons."

“因为那是挣额外骑术课费用的唯一办法。”

旁白 neutral

Jill sighed." I wish I had a way to earn more cash!

吉尔叹了口气。“我真希望有办法多挣些钱！

旁白 neutral

Then I could ride every day and not have to clean a bunch of stinky stalls first."

那样我就能每天骑马，不用先清理一堆臭烘烘的马厩了。”

旁白 neutral

Henry and Cole said good-bye to Jill and headed outdoors

亨利和科尔跟吉尔道别，朝户外走去。

旁白 neutral

" Are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

“你想的和我想的一样吗？”

旁白 neutral

Cole asked as they sat down on a bench outside the riding ring

他们在骑马场外的长椅上坐下时，科尔问道。

旁白 neutral

" Yes, if you're thinking that Jill should be a suspect."

“是的，如果你在想吉尔应该是嫌疑人。”

旁白 neutral

Henry put Maggie's sandals on the bench

亨利把玛吉的凉鞋放在长椅上。

旁白 neutral

" It sounds like she'd do anything to get more money for riding."

“听起来她为了挣更多骑马的钱，会做任何事。”

旁白 neutral

" Including steal stuff?" Cole asked

“包括偷东西吗？”科尔问。

旁白 neutral

" Who knows?" Henry said

“谁知道呢？”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" She could probably sell Maggie's gloves and charm bracelet

“她大概可以把玛吉的手套和幸运手镯卖掉。

旁白 neutral

And she might have thought she could cash that check."

而且她可能以为能兑现那张支票。”

旁白 neutral

" Okay, we'll put her on the suspect list," Cole said

“好，我们把她列入嫌疑人名单。”科尔说。

旁白 neutral

" But we'd better not let her know she's on there

“但我们最好别让她知道她在名单上。

旁白 neutral

If she turns out to be innocent again, she'll be really annoyed!"

如果结果她又是清白的，她会非常恼火！”

旁白 neutral

Henry laughed

亨利笑了。

旁白 neutral

The Lemonade Detectives had suspected Jill of stealing during their very first mystery

柠檬汁侦探在第一起谜案中就怀疑过吉尔偷东西。

旁白 neutral

She'd turned out to be innocent in that case

那件案子最后她证明是清白的。

旁白 neutral

But that didn't mean she was innocent now too

但那并不代表她现在也是清白的。

旁白 neutral

Henry glanced at the riding ring." We should be watching our other suspects."

亨利瞥了一眼骑术场。“我们应该留意其他嫌疑人。”

旁白 neutral

He and Cole watched the lesson for a while

他和科尔看了一会儿课。

旁白 neutral

Ms. Wood stood in the middle of the ring and told the riders what to do

伍德女士站在场地中央，指挥骑手们如何做。

旁白 neutral

First she had them walk their horses around in a big circle

她先让他们让马绕一个大圈慢步。

旁白 neutral

Then she told them to trot

然后她叫他们快步。

旁白 neutral

Henry noticed that trotting was faster, and it looked kind of bouncy

亨利注意到快步更快，而且看起来有点颠簸。

旁白 neutral

" This is no fun!" Zach complained loudly

“一点都不好玩！”扎克大声抱怨。

旁白 neutral

" Every time my pony trots, I almost fall off."

“每次我的小马快步，我差点就摔下来。”

旁白 neutral

" That kid really doesn't want to be here, does he?" Cole whispered

“那孩子真不想待在这儿，对吧？”科尔小声说。

旁白 neutral

" It's easy, Zach!" Daisy called out." Just watch me."

“这很简单，扎克！”黛西喊道。“看我的就行。”

旁白 neutral

As Daisy trotted past the others, Eleanor's pony slowed to a walk

当黛西小跑着经过其他人时，埃莉诺的小马慢下来，变成了走步。

旁白 neutral

" Ms. Wood, my pony is lazy!" Eleanor called out

“伍德女士，我的小马太懒了！”埃莉诺喊道。

旁白 neutral

" I have to squeeze him so often, my leg muscles are tired!"

“我老是得夹紧它，我腿上的肌肉都累了！”

旁白 neutral

" You're doing fine, Eleanor," Ms. Wood said

“你做得很好，埃莉诺，”伍德女士说。

旁白 neutral

" Daisy, please come back and join the others."

“黛西，请回到队伍里来。”

旁白 neutral

" But I was just showing Zach how to trot," Daisy said

“但我正在给扎克示范怎么小跑呢，”黛西说。

旁白 neutral

" I was doing it right, wasn't I?"

“我做的是对的，不是吗？”

旁白 neutral

" Daisy is pretty competitive," Cole whispered to Henry

“黛西好胜心挺强的，”科尔小声对亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" She tried out for the swim team, remember?"

“她参加过游泳队的选拔，记得吗？”

旁白 neutral

Henry nodded." Maybe she's afraid Maggie is a better rider

亨利点点头。“也许她怕玛吉骑得更好。”

旁白 neutral

Daisy could be taking Maggie's stuff so Maggie will get in trouble and have to quit."

黛西可能拿走玛吉的东西，让玛吉惹上麻烦，不得不退出。”

旁白 neutral

" Zach has a good motive too," Cole said." He hates this place

“扎克的动机也很充分，”科尔说。“他讨厌这个地方。”

旁白 neutral

Maybe he's stealing stuff just to cause trouble."

也许他偷东西只是想制造麻烦。”

旁白 neutral

" Or he could be trying to get his sister in trouble," Henry said

“或者他可能是想给他姐姐惹麻烦，”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" If she gets fired, his parents probably wouldn't make him ride anymore."

“如果她被解雇了，他父母大概就不会再逼他骑马了。”

旁白 neutral

Cole looked out at the ring again

科尔又望向练习场。

旁白 neutral

Eleanor was still whining about her pony being too slow

埃莉诺还在抱怨她的小马太慢了。

旁白 neutral

" What about Eleanor?" he said

“那埃莉诺呢？”他说。

旁白 neutral

" She's the only one who doesn't seem to have a motive

“她好像是唯一一个没有动机的人。”

旁白 neutral

Maybe she thought that jingling Maggie's charm bracelet at her pony would make him go faster."

也许她以为把玛吉的幸运手链在小马面前叮当响，能让它跑快些。”

旁白 neutral

Henry laughed." I doubt that

亨利笑了。“我看不太可能。”

旁白 neutral

We don't know Eleanor very well," he reminded Cole

我们不太了解埃莉诺，”他提醒科尔。

旁白 neutral

" Maybe she has a motive that we haven't figured out yet."

“也许她有我们还没搞清楚的动机。”

旁白 neutral

Cole nodded." All we know is that she's kind of lazy and she has a dog."

科尔点点头。“我们只知道她有点懒，还有一条狗。”

旁白 neutral

" Speaking of her dog, there he is."

“说到她的狗，它来了。”

旁白 neutral

Henry saw Little Spot wandering toward them

亨利看见“小不点”朝他们溜达过来。

旁白 neutral

The dog stopped to sniff at something on the ground

小狗停下来嗅了嗅地上的什么东西。

旁白 neutral

Then he came toward them

然后它朝他们走来。

旁白 neutral

" Here, Little Spot." Cole held out his hand

“过来，小不点。”科尔伸出了手。

旁白 neutral

Little Spot ignored him. He grabbed one of Maggie's sandals and took off!

小不点没理他。它叼起玛吉的一只凉鞋就跑了！

旁白 neutral

" Hey!" Henry cried

“嘿！”亨利喊道。

旁白 neutral

" Aha!" Cole said." I think we just caught the thief!"

“啊哈！”科尔说。“我想我们刚抓到小偷了！”
