（留）帕丁顿熊写给它阿姨的信
Dear Aunt Lucy, I have arrived in London. Andso far it has rained, poured, drizzled and chucked it down. And I miss you.
London is not how we imagined it. Hardlyanyone says hello or wears hats. And you can no longer simply turn up at thestation and get a home. It’s hard to see where a bear could ever belong in sucha strange, cold city. Luckily, I met the Browns, who are letting me sleep intheir attic. They have a lovely house, but I’m not going to be allowed to stay.
The Browns are a very curious tribe. MrBrown is something called a risk analyst. He says that having a bear in thehouse increases the chances of major disaster by 4,000%. Mrs Brown illustratesadventure stories. Her latest is set in the old tunnels and sewers underLondon. She says she’s stuck at the moment, because she can’t imagine what herhero looks like, but has no trouble coming up with nicknames for her daughterJudy. -Like”Twinkle” And “Coconut” And … Sweety pops. Judy suffers from aserious condition called”Embarrassment”. She is seeing a boy called Tony butwon’t bring him home. She is learning Chinese. So she can run away and start asmall business. When Jonathan grows up, he wants to be an astronaut. Last yearhe built a pair of rocket boots and is now only allowed to play with safe,educational, indoor toys from the olden days. They live with an old relativecalled Mrs Bird. Her husband was in the Navy, and she still likes everythingshipshape.
Tomorrow, they are taking me to theauthorities, who will house me in something that is not an orphanage, but stilldoesn’t sound like the sort of home we were really hoping for.
Tomorrow, we are going to find theexplorer.
Love from Paddington.
Oh. PS. That is now my name.
露西婶婶，我已经到伦敦了。到目前为止，一直在下雨，绵绵不绝的小雨，一直在下。我想你。
伦敦并不是我们想象的那样。人们见面很少问好，也很少戴帽子。你也不能随随便便出现在车站就能找到一个家。在这个陌生寒冷的城市里一只熊是很难找到归属。幸运的是，我遇到了布朗宜家，他们让我睡在他们家的阁楼。他们有一栋非常漂亮的房子，但是他们不允许我留下来。
布朗家是非常奇怪的一家。布朗先生更像是一个风险分析师。他说在家养一只熊，会让房子受灾的几率增加百分之四千。布朗太太喜欢画冒险故事。最近她画的故事，总是发生在伦敦老旧隧道或下水道里。她说她目前的创作陷入了瓶颈，因为她想象不出她的英雄长什么样子, 但她给自己的女儿朱迪起小名却没有任何问题。比如闪烁或椰子，或者… …甜心流行曲。朱迪患有严重的“窘迫症”，她喜欢上一个叫托尼的男孩，却不敢带回家。她在学习中文。所以她能离开这里，自己做点小事。乔纳森长大之后，想成为一名宇航员。去年，他自制了一双火箭靴… …现在他只能玩一些安全的、寓教于乐的室内玩具了，和过去说再见。他们同他们的亲戚拜尔德女士住在一起。她的丈夫曾在海军服役，她现在任然喜欢任何船状的东西。
明天，他们要把我交给政府机构，政府将把我放在一个不是孤儿院，但也不是我们原本期待的一个叫家的地方。
明天，我们要去找探险家。
爱你的，帕丁顿。
噢！顺便说一下，帕丁顿是我的新名字。
