The thing that worried Mr. Little most was the mousehole in the pantry. • Pantry (n) a cupboard/closet or small room in a house, used for storing food 食品儲藏室 Synonym: larder
He didn’t know where the hole led to, and it made him uneasy to think that Stuartmight some day feel the desire to venture into it. • Venture (v) 冒險 to go somewhere even though you know that it might be dangerous or unpleasant Example: This is the first time the company has ventured into movie production.
