亲爱的同学们，今天是赵校长英语小课堂坚持日更的第81天。
一天一个英语小知识，相信日积月累的力量。
今天，赵校长继续带来长期占据美国亚马逊畅销榜第一名的《Who Moved My Cheese?》的翻译之第8节：
Finally, he put his hands on his hips, his face turned red, and he screamed at the top of his voice, "It's not fair!"
最后，他把双手放在屁股上，脸色通红，声嘶力竭地尖叫道：“这不公平!”
Haw just shook his head in disbelief. He, too, had counted on finding Cheese at Cheese Station C. He stood there for a long time, frozen with shock. He was just not ready for this.
唧唧只是不相信地摇了摇头。他也指望能在奶酪C站找到奶酪。他在那儿站了很长时间，仿佛被震惊给冻住了。他只是还没为这个做好准备。
Hem was yelling something, but Haw didn't want to hear it. He didn't want to deal with what was facing him, so he just tuned everything out.
哼哼在叫喊着什么，但唧唧不想听。他不想去处理他所面临的问题，所以他就把一切都排除在外了。
The littlepeople's behavoir was not very attractive or productive but it was understandable. Finding Cheese wasn't easy, and it meant a great deal more to the littlepeople than just having enough of it to eat every day.
小矮人的行为不怎么吸引人，也不怎么富有成效，但这是可以理解的。找到奶酪并不容易，对这两个小矮人来说，它比每天有足够的奶酪吃，要远重要得多。
Finding Cheese was the littlepeoples' way of getting what they thought they needed to be happy. They had their own ideas of what Cheese meant to them, depending on their taste.
找到奶酪是小矮人获得他们认为自己需要的快乐的方式。他们根据自己的口味，对奶酪的意义有自己的看法。
For some, finding Cheese was having material things. For others it was enjoying good health, or developing a spiritual sense of well-being.
对一些人来说，找到奶酪意味着拥有物质上的东西。对另一些人来说，它是身体健康，或者是获得一种精神上的幸福感。
For Haw, Cheese just meant feeling safe, having a loving family someday and living in a cozy cottage on Cheddar Lane.
对唧唧来说，奶酪意味着一种安全感，意味着有一天能拥有一个幸福的家庭，住在切达巷(Cheddar Lane)里一个舒适的小房子里。
To Hem, Cheese was becoming A Big Cheese in charge of others and owning a big house atop Camembert Hill.
对哼哼来说，他心中的奶酪是成为一个大人物，可以管理其他人，并且在卡门贝尔山(Camembert Hill)上拥有一所大房子。
Because Cheese was important to them, the two littlepeople spent a long time trying to decide what to do. All they could think of was to keep looking around Cheeseless Station C to see if the Cheese was really gone.
因为奶酪对他们很重要，两个小矮人花了很长时间，来努力决定该怎么办。他们所能想到的就是继续在“无奶酪C站”周围转悠，看看奶酪是否真的消失了。
While Sniff and Scurry had quickly moved on, Hem and Haw continued to hem and haw.
当嗅嗅和匆匆快速向前的时候，哼哼和唧唧还在不停地哼哼和唧唧。
