23 Square Sweets That Look Round

23 Square Sweets That Look Round Everybody stopped and crowded to the door. The top half of the door was made of glass. Grandpa Joe lifted Charlie up so that he could get a better view, and looking in, Charlie saw a long table, and on the table there were rows and rows of small white square-shaped sweets. The sweets looked very much like square sugar lumps – except that each of them had a funny little pink face painted on one side. At the end of the table, a number of Oompa-Loompas were busily painting more faces on more sweets. 'There you are!' cried Mr Wonka. 'Square sweets that look round!' 'They don't look round to me,' said Mike Teavee. 'They look square,' said Veruca Salt. 'They look completely square.' 'But they are square,' said Mr Wonka. 'I never said they weren't.' 'You said they were round!' said Veruca Salt. 'I never said anything of the sort,' said Mr Wonka. 'I said they looked round.'

环顾四周的方形糖果大家都停下来，挤到门口。 门的上半部分是玻璃做的。 乔爷爷把查理举起来，这样他就能看得更清楚一些，查理往里看，看到了一张长桌子，桌子上放着一排排白色的方形小糖果。 这些糖果看起来很像方糖块——只是每一块的一边都画着一张有趣的粉红色小脸。 在桌子的另一头，一些奥柏伦柏人正忙着在更多的糖果上画更多的脸。 “你在这儿!”旺卡先生叫道。 “圆圆的方形糖果!”“他们不回头看我，”迈克·蒂维说。 “它们看起来是方形的，”维露卡·索特说。 “它们看起来完全是方形的。“但它们是方的，”旺卡先生说。 “我从没说过他们不是。“你说它们是圆的!”维露卡·索特说。 “我从来没说过那样的话，”旺卡先生说。 “我说他们环顾四周。”

'But they don't look round!' said Veruca Salt. 'They look square!' 'They look round,' insisted Mr Wonka. 'They most certainly do not look round!' cried Veruca Salt. 'Veruca, darling,' said Mrs Salt, 'pay no attention to Mr Wonka! He's lying to you!' 'My dear old fish,' said Mr Wonka, 'go and boil your head!' 'How dare you speak to me like that!' shouted Mrs Salt. 'Oh, do shut up,' said Mr Wonka. 'Now watch this!' He took a key from his pocket, and unlocked the door, and flung it open… and suddenly… at the sound of the door opening, all the rows of little square sweets looked quickly round to see who was coming in. The tiny faces actually turned towards the door and stared at Mr Wonka. 'There you are!' he cried triumphantly. 'They're looking round! There's no argument about it! They are square sweets

“但是他们没有回头看!”维露卡·索特说。 “它们看起来是方形的!”“他们环顾四周，”旺卡先生坚持说。 “他们肯定不会回头看的!”维露卡·索特喊道。 “维露卡，亲爱的，”索特夫人说，“别理旺卡先生!他在骗你!“我亲爱的老鱼，”旺卡先生说，“去煮你的头吧!”“你怎么敢这样对我说话!”索特夫人喊道。 “哦，闭嘴，”旺卡先生说。 “现在看这个!”他从口袋里掏出一把钥匙，打开了门，猛地把门打开……突然……听到开门的声音，所有一排排的小糖果都迅速转过身来，想看看谁进来了。 那些小脸真的转向门，盯着旺卡先生。 “你在这儿!”他得意洋洋地叫道。 “他们在四处张望!”这是没有争议的!它们是方形的糖果

that look round!' 'By golly, he's right!' said Grandpa Joe. 'Come on!' said Mr Wonka, starting off down the corridor again. 'On we go! We mustn't dawdle!' BUTTERSCOTCH AND BUTTERGIN, it said on the next door they passed. 'Now that sounds a bit more interesting,' said Mr Salt, Veruca's father. 'Glorious stuff!' said Mr Wonka. 'The Oompa-Loompas all adore it. It makes them tiddly. Listen! You can hear them in there now, whooping it up.' Shrieks of laughter and snatches of singing could be heard coming through the closed door. 'They're drunk as lords,' said Mr Wonka. 'They're drinking butterscotch and soda. They like that best of all. Buttergin and tonic is also very popular. Follow me, please! We really mustn't keep stopping like this.' He turned left. He turned right. They came to a long flight of stairs. Mr Wonka slid down the banisters. The three children did the same. Mrs Salt and Mrs Teavee, the only women now left in the party, were getting very out of breath. Mrs Salt was a great fat creature with short legs, and she was blowing like a rhinoceros. 'This way!' cried Mr Wonka, turning left at the bottom of the stairs. 'Go slower!' panted Mrs Salt. 'Impossible,' said Mr Wonka. 'We should never get there in time if I did.'

那就回头看看!“天哪，他说得对!”乔爷爷说。 “来吧!旺卡先生说着，又朝走廊走去。 “走吧!”我们不能磨蹭!”“奶油糖和奶油金，”他们经过的隔壁门上写着。 “现在听起来更有趣了，”维露卡的父亲索特先生说。 《光荣的东西!旺卡先生说。 “奥柏伦柏人都很喜欢它。 它使它们很干净。听!你现在都能听到他们在里面大声喊叫。”从关着的门里可以听到刺耳的笑声和断断续续的歌声。 “他们喝得烂醉如泥，”旺卡先生说。 “他们在喝奶油糖和苏打水。 他们最喜欢这个。 Buttergin和tonic也很受欢迎。 请跟我来!我们真的不能再这样停下来了。”他向左转。 他向右拐。他们来到一段长长的楼梯前。 旺卡先生从栏杆上滑了下来。 三个孩子也照做了。 索尔特太太和蒂维太太，这群人中仅剩的两个女人，已经上气不接下气了。 索特夫人是一个又大又胖、腿又短的人，她像犀牛一样吹着气。 “这种方式!旺卡先生喊道，在楼梯底下向左转。 “走慢!索特夫人喘着气说。 “不可能。”旺卡先生说。 "要是我走了，我们就不能及时赶到那儿了。"

'Get where?' asked Veruca Salt. 'Never you mind,' said Mr Wonka. 'You just wait and see.'

的在哪里?维露卡·索特问。 “没关系，”旺卡先生说。 你就等着瞧吧。
