Chapter 4 Godfrey is in trouble
第4章 戈弗雷有麻烦了
Godfrey was not very surprised to find that Dunstan had not come home after his day's hunting.
戈弗雷对于邓斯坦在狩猎的第二天没有回家来一点儿也不奇怪。
Perhaps he was staying the night at a public house.
他也许又在哪间酒馆呆了一夜。
But when Dunstan did not return home the next day, Godfrey began to worry about Wild-fire.
可第三天邓斯坦还没回来，戈弗雷开始有些为他的野火担心了。
He did not trust his brother, and wondered if Dunstan had gone away to spend the money on gambling.
他信不过他的兄弟，怀疑邓斯坦是不是去把钱花在赌场上了。
So he decided to go to look for him.
于是他决定去找邓斯坦，
On the road near Raveloe he met his neighbour, John Bryce, who had arranged to buy Wildfire from Dunstan.
在离瑞福洛不远的路上他遇到了邻居约翰·布莱斯，那个想从邓斯坦那里买走野火的人。
'Well, Godfrey, 'said Bryce, 'did your brother tell you about the horse? '
"怎么样，戈弗雷，"布莱斯说，"你弟弟告诉你关于马的事儿了吗？"
'What do you mean, John? 'replied Godfrey quickly.
"什么意思，约翰？"戈弗雷马上问，"
'No, he hasn't been home yet. What's happened to my horse? '
他还没回家。我的马怎么了？"
'Ah, so he was yours, was he?
"噢，那是你的马，是吗？
Dunstan told me you'd given him Wildfire.
邓斯坦告诉我你把野火给他了，
I was going to buy him, you know. '
你知道我曾经想买那马。"
