Unit 17 Dick, The Dalmatian
第17单元 大麦町狄克
Randy and Dick have just called. The building on the corner of 16th St. and Maple Ave is on fire. Randy is a fire fighter and Dick is a Dalmatian and a fire-fighting dog. When the bell sounds at the fire hall, it means that Randy and Disk have to hurry.
蓝迪和狄克刚被派往第十六街和枫树大道转角一栋失火的建筑物那里。蓝迪是名消防员，狄克则是只大麦町，也是一只救火狗。当消防厅的警铃响起时，便意味着蓝迪和狄克得火速行动才行。
When they got to 26th and Maple, the fire which started on the 1st floor, had spread all the way up to the 4th floor. From a window, Randy saw a small girl screaming. She was stuck. Dick saw the girl too. Dick was a smart dog and very good at his job.
他们抵达第十六街和枫树大道转角时，火势已经从一楼一路延烧到了四楼。蓝迪看到有个小女孩在四楼窗户边尖叫着，她被困住了，而狄克也看到了那个女孩。狄克是只聪明的狗，对自己的工作很拿手。
He ran into the burning building to save the girl. Dick raced up the stairs and into the apartment where the girl was trapped. The girl jumped onto the Dick's back and they were heading down the stairs, when the celling came crashing down in front of them. The smoke was thick. He couldn't go down the stairs.
于是跑进起火的建筑物要救那名女孩。它冲到楼上，进入女孩被困住的公寓里；女孩则跳到狄克背上要和它一起下楼。结果天花板在他们面前垮了下来，再加上浓烟密布，他们已经无法下楼了。
He heard Randy calling him. Dick jumped out of the window and into the net. Both Dick and the girl were safe.
这时狄克听到蓝迪在叫它，便跳出窗子掉在救生网里。狄克和那名女孩总算平安无事了。
