Lesson 59

Our dog, Rex, used to sit outside our front gate and bark.
我们的狗雷克斯过去常常坐在前门外吠叫。
Every time he wanted to come into the garden he would bark until someone opened the gate.
每当他想进花园，他就会一直叫，直到有人开门。
As the neighbours complained of the noise, my husband spent weeks training him to press his paw on the latch to let himself in.
由于邻居们抱怨噪音，我丈夫花了数周时间训练它按住门闩让自己进来。
Rex soon became an expert at opening the gate.
雷克斯很快成为了开启这扇大门的专家。
However, when I was going out shopping last week, I noticed him in the garden near the gate.
然而，上周当我出门购物时，我注意到他在大门口附近的花园里。
This time he was barking so that someone would let him out!
这一次他拼命吠叫，以便有人能放他出去！
Since then, he has developed another bad habit.
从那时起，他已经养成了另一个坏习惯。
As soon as he opens the gate from the outside, he comes into the garden and waits until the gate shuts.
他一从外面打开大门，就走进花园，一直等到大门关上。
Then he sits and barks until someone lets him out.
然后他坐着吠叫，直到有人放他出去。
After this he immediately lets himself in and begins barking again.
在这之后，他立即让自己进来，并再次吠叫起来。
Yesterday my husband removed the gate and Rex got so annoyed we have not seen him since.
昨天我丈夫拆掉了大门，雷克斯非常生气，从那以后我们就再也没见过他了。
