原文:
Yesterday I bumped into a cat on my way home. She was orange and thin. She looked like a homeless cat. No one seemed like her owner. When I was approaching her a little, she didn't step bak and made a sad sound. Like said "I am hungry, I am hungry!" I felt so sorry for her. But I didn't have anything to eat by myself. So I rushed to a convenient shop and bought some sausages. Then I returned, and she was there waiting. I peeled off one. I put it in front of her. She came close happily and sniffed at it. Then she took off proudly. Just like that. Without a Meow and vanished. What a rude cat!

1⃣️ She looked like a homeless cat. No one seemed like her owner. ➡️ She looked like a stray cat. She didn't seem to have an owner.
2⃣️ When I was approaching her a little, she didn't step bak and made a sad sound. Like said "I am hungry, I am hungry!" ➡️ When I approached her, she didn't run away. She started meowing and seemed hungry.
问题1: When I was doing something, something happened. 表示一个比较长的事情中间,发生了另一件事。

问题3: 地道表达:
meow v. 喵喵叫
That cat is meowing. 那只猫在叫
问题4: 逻辑关系
猫叫和她听起来饿,有直接联系,所以放到一起。
