23. The Sad Hike 悲剧的徒步

Deborah and Paul Evans loved nature. They especially liked hiking. They hiked the mountain almost every evening. They always took their dog Buddy. Buddy loved his owners. Hiking was one of his favorite things, too.

黛博拉和伊万保罗喜欢大自然，他们特别喜欢徒步。他们几乎每晚都去山上徒步，而且总是带着他们的狗——布迪。布迪也很喜欢他的主人们，徒步也是它最喜欢的事情之一。

One day, the news reported a cougar sighting. "We advise hikers to beware the mountains tonight," said the reporter. Deborah and Paul thought about staying home that evening. "I'm sure we'll be safe," said Paul. "Cougars usually hide from humans."

有一天，新闻通告发现了一只美洲狮，记者说“我们建议徒步者今晚要特别留意山上”黛博拉和保罗想着晚上就呆在家里，保罗说，“我确定我们会安全的，美洲狮通常都是躲着人的”

Deborah, Paul, and Buddy made it to the top of the mountain. Suddenly, they heard a roar. The cougar jumped out. It leaped at Deborah's face. Buddy jumped to save her. He scared the cougar away. Mr. and Mrs. Evan bought him a thousand treats and toys the next day.

黛博拉，保罗和布迪到了山顶，突然他们听到一声咆哮，美洲狮跳了出来，它跳到了黛博拉的面前，布迪跳过去救她，他把美洲狮吓跑了。伊万先生和伊万夫人第二天给他买了很多好东西和玩具。
