22 Along the Corridor

22 Along the Corridor 'Well, well, well,' sighed Mr Willy Wonka, 'two naughty little children gone. Three good little children left. I think we'd better get out of this room quickly before we lose anyone else!' 'But Mr Wonka,' said Charlie Bucket anxiously, 'will Violet Beauregarde ever be all right again or will she always be a blueberry?' 'They'll de-juice her in no time flat!' declared Mr Wonka. 'They'll roll her into the de-juicing machine, and she'll come out just as thin as a whistle!' 'But will she still be blue all over?' asked Charlie. 'She'll be purple!' cried Mr Wonka. 'A fine rich purple from head to toe! But there you are! That's what comes from chewing disgusting gum all day long!' 'If you think gum is so disgusting,' said Mike Teavee, 'then why do you make it in your factory?' 'I do wish you wouldn't mumble,' said Mr Wonka. I can't hear a word you're saying. Come on! Off we go! Hurry up! Follow me! We're going into the corridors again!' And

“好啦，好啦，好啦，”威利·旺卡先生叹了口气，“两个淘气的小孩走了。 剩下三个好孩子。 我想我们最好在失去其他人之前赶紧离开这个房间!“可是旺卡先生，”查理·巴克特焦急地说，“维奥莱特·博雷加德还会好吗?还是她会永远是个蓝莓?”“他们很快就会把她榨干的!”旺卡先生宣布。 “他们会把她扔进榨汁机，她出来的时候就瘦得像个哨子!”“但她还是会浑身发青吗?”查理问。 “她会变成紫色的!”旺卡先生叫道。 “从头到脚都是鲜艳的紫色!”但你在这里!这就是整天嚼恶心口香糖的结果!“如果你觉得口香糖这么恶心，”迈克·蒂维说，“那你为什么还要在工厂里生产?”“我真希望你不要喃喃自语，”旺卡先生说。 你说的话我一个字都听不见。 来吧!我们走吧!快点!跟我来!我们又要到走廊里去!”和

so saying, Mr Wonka scuttled across to the far end of the Inventing Room and went out through a small secret door hidden behind a lot of pipes and stoves. The three remaining children – Veruca Salt, Mike Teavee, and Charlie Bucket – together with the five remaining grown-ups, followed after him. Charlie Bucket saw that they were now back in one of those long pink corridors with many other pink corridors leading out of it. Mr Wonka was rushing along in front, turning left and right and right and left, and Grandpa Joe was saying, 'Keep a good hold of my hand, Charlie. It would be terrible to get lost in here.' Mr Wonka was saying, 'No time for any more messing about! We'll never get anywhere at the rate we've been going!' And on he rushed, down the endless pink corridors, with his black top hat perched on the top of his head and his

旺卡先生一边说着，一边飞快地跑到发明室的尽头，从一扇隐藏在许多管子和炉子后面的小暗门走了出去。 剩下的三个孩子——维露卡·索特、迈克·蒂维和查理·巴克特——和剩下的五个成年人跟着他。 查理·巴克特看到他们现在又回到了一条长长的粉红色走廊里，还有许多其他的粉红色走廊从里面延伸出来。 旺卡先生冲在前面，左拐右拐，左拐左拐，乔爷爷说:“抓住我的手，查理。 在这里迷路太可怕了。”旺卡先生说:“没时间再胡闹了!照这样下去，我们哪儿也去不了!”他继续往前冲，穿过一望无际的粉红色走廊，黑色的大礼帽顶在他和他的头顶上

plum-coloured velvet coat-tails flying out behind him like a flag in the wind. They passed a door in the wall. 'No time to go in!' shouted Mr Wonka. 'Press on! Press on!' They passed another door, then another and another. There were doors every twenty paces or so along the corridor now, and they all had something written on them, and strange clanking noises were coming from behind several of them, and delicious smells came wafting through the keyholes, and sometimes little jets of coloured steam shot out from the cracks underneath. Grandpa Joe and Charlie were half running and half walking to keep up with Mr Wonka, but they were able to read what it said on quite a few of the doors as they hurried by. EATABLE MARSHMALLOW PILLOWS, it said on one. 'Marshmallow pillows are terrific!' shouted Mr Wonka as he dashed by. 'They'll be all the rage when I get them into the shops! No time to go in, though! No time to go in!' LICKABLE WALLPAPER FOR NURSERIES, it said on the next door. 'Lovely stuff, lickable wallpaper!' cried Mr Wonka, rushing past. 'It has pictures of fruits on it – bananas, apples, oranges, grapes, pineapples, strawberries, and snozzberries…' 'Snozzberries?' said Mike Teavee.

紫红色的天鹅绒燕尾服在他身后飘扬，就像风中飘扬的旗帜。 他们经过墙上的一扇门。 “没时间进去了!”旺卡先生喊道。 “继续!媒体上!”他们经过了一扇门，一扇又一扇。 现在走廊上每隔二十步左右就有一扇门，门上都写着什么，有几扇门后面传来奇怪的丁当声，香味从钥匙孔里飘进来，有时从下面的裂缝里喷出彩色的小蒸汽。 乔爷爷和查理为了跟上旺卡先生，半跑半走，但当他们匆匆经过时，还是能读到不少门上写的东西。 可食用的棉花糖枕头，其中一个上写着。 “棉花糖枕头太棒了!”旺卡先生冲过去喊道。 “等我把它们卖到商店里去，它们会大受欢迎的!”可是没时间进去了!没时间进去了!”可舔的托儿所墙纸，隔壁的门上写着。 “可爱的东西，可舔的墙纸!”旺卡先生喊道，冲了过去。 “上面有水果的图片——香蕉、苹果、橙子、葡萄、菠萝、草莓和雪莓……”迈克·蒂维说。

'Don't interrupt!' said Mr Wonka. 'The wallpaper has pictures of all these fruits printed on it, and when you lick the picture of a banana, it tastes of banana. When you lick a strawberry, it tastes of strawberry. And when you lick a snozzberry, it tastes just exactly like a snozzberry…' 'But what does a snozzberry taste like?' 'You're mumbling again,' said Mr Wonka. 'Speak louder next time. On we go! Hurry up!' HOT ICE CREAMS FOR COLD DAYS, it said on the next door. 'Extremely useful in the winter,' said Mr Wonka, rushing on. 'Hot ice cream warms you up no end in freezing weather. I also make hot ice cubes for putting in hot drinks. Hot ice cubes make hot drinks hotter.' COWS THAT GIVE CHOCOLATE MILK, it said on the next door. 'Ah, my pretty little cows!' cried Mr Wonka. 'How I love those cows!' 'But why can't we see them?' asked Veruca Salt. 'Why do we have to go rushing on past all these lovely rooms?' 'We shall stop in time!' called out Mr Wonka. 'Don't be so madly impatient!' FIZZY LIFTING DRINKS, it said on the next door. 'Oh, those are fabulous!' cried Mr Wonka. 'They fill you with bubbles, and the bubbles are full of a special kind of gas, and this gas is so terrifically lifting that it lifts you right

“不要打扰!旺卡先生说。 “墙纸上印着所有这些水果的图片，当你舔香蕉的图片时，它有香蕉的味道。” 当你舔草莓的时候，它尝起来有草莓的味道。 当你舔雪莓的时候，它的味道和雪莓一模一样……”“但是雪莓是什么味道呢?“你又在喃喃自语了，”旺卡先生说。 “下次说大声点。走吧!快点!”冷天热冰淇淋，隔壁的门上写着。 “在冬天非常有用，”旺卡先生说着，继续往前走。 在寒冷的天气里，热冰淇淋总是能让你感到温暖。 我也做热冰块，用来放热饮。 热冰块会让热饮更热。”隔壁的门上写着:产巧克力奶的奶牛。 “啊，我可爱的小母牛!”旺卡先生叫道。 “我多爱那些牛啊!”“可是为什么我们看不见他们呢?”维露卡·索特问。 “我们为什么要匆匆走过这些可爱的房间呢?”“我们会及时停下来的!”旺卡先生喊道。 “别这么不耐烦!”“汽水提神饮料，”隔壁的门上写着。 “哦，太棒了!”旺卡先生叫道。 “它们让你的身体充满气泡，这些气泡中充满了一种特殊的气体，这种气体的提振效果非常好，它能把你抬起来。

off the ground just like a balloon, and up you go until your head hits the ceiling – and there you stay.' 'But how do you come down again?' asked little Charlie. 'You do a burp, of course,' said Mr Wonka. 'You do a great big long rude burp, and up comes the gas and down comes you! But don't drink it outdoors! There's no knowing how high up you'll be carried if you do that. I gave some to an old Oompa-Loompa once out in the back yard and he went up and up and disappeared out of sight! It was very sad. I never saw him again.' 'He should have burped,' Charlie said. 'Of course he should have burped,' said Mr Wonka. 'I stood there shouting, "Burp, you silly ass, burp, or you'll never come down again!" But he didn't or couldn't or wouldn't, I don't know which. Maybe he was too polite. He must be on the moon by now.' On the next door, it said, SQUARE SWEETS THAT LOOK ROUND. 'Wait!' cried Mr Wonka, skidding suddenly to a halt. 'I am very proud of my square sweets that look round. Let's take a peek.'

像气球一样离开地面，然后向上飞，直到你的头碰到天花板——然后你就呆在那里了。”“可是你怎么再下来呢?小查理问。 “当然是打个嗝，”旺卡先生说。 “你打了一个又长又粗的嗝，气就上来了，你就下来了!”但是不要在户外喝!如果你那样做，谁也不知道你会被抬到多高。 有一次我在后院给了一个老奥柏伦柏一些，他就越爬越高，然后就消失了!这是非常悲伤的。 我再也没见过他。“他应该打个嗝才对，”查理说。 “他当然应该打嗝，”旺卡先生说。 “我站在那里大喊:‘打嗝，你这个蠢驴，打嗝，否则你永远不会再下来了!’”但他没有，或者不能，或者不愿，我不知道是哪一个。 也许他太有礼貌了。他现在一定在月球上了。”隔壁的门上写着:方形的糖果。 “等等!旺卡先生叫道，突然刹车。 “我为我的方形圆形糖果感到非常自豪。 让我们看一看。”
