27 The Twits Are Turned Upside Down

The Twits Are Turned Upside Down 'What's this?' gasped Mr Twit as they entered the living-room. 'What's happened?' screamed Mrs Twit. They stood in the middle of the room, looking up. All the furniture, the big table, the chairs, the sofa, the lamps, the little side tables, the cabinet with bottles of beer in it, the ornaments, the electric fire, the carpet, everything was stuck upside down to the ceiling. The pictures were upside down on the walls. And the floor they were

“这是什么?”他们走进客厅时，特威特先生喘着气说。 “发生了什么?特威特太太尖叫道。 他们站在屋子中间，抬起头来。 所有的家具，大桌子、椅子、沙发、灯、小边桌、装啤酒瓶的柜子、装饰品、电炉、地毯，所有的东西都倒挂在天花板上。 墙上的画是上下颠倒的。 他们在地板上

standing on was absolutely bare. What's more, it had been painted white to look like the ceiling. 'Look!' screamed Mrs Twit. 'That's the floor! The floor's up there! This is the ceiling! We are standing on the ceiling!' 'We're UPSIDE DOWN!' gasped Mr Twit. 'We must be upside down. We are standing on the ceiling looking down at the floor!' 'Oh help!' screamed Mrs Twit. 'Help help help! I'm beginning to feel giddy!' 'So am I! So am I!' cried Mr Twit. 'I don't like this one little bit!' 'We're upside down and all the blood's going to my head!' screamed Mrs Twit. 'If we don't do something quickly, I shall die, I know I will!' 'I've got it!' cried Mr Twit. 'I know what we'll do! We'll stand on our heads, then anyway we'll be the right way up!' So they stood on their heads, and of course, the moment the tops of their heads touched the floor, the sticky glue that the ravens had brushed on a few moments before did its job. They were stuck.

站在上面完全是光秃秃的。 更重要的是，它被漆成了白色，看起来像天花板。 “看!特威特太太尖叫道。 “那是地板!”地板在上面!这是天花板!我们站在天花板上了!“我们上下颠倒了!”推特先生喘着气说。 “我们一定是上下颠倒了。我们站在天花板上看着地板!“哦，救命!”特威特太太尖叫道。 “救命啊救命啊!”我开始觉得头晕了!“我也是!”我也是!推特先生叫道。 “我一点也不喜欢这个!”“我们倒过来了，所有的血都流到我的头上了!”特威特太太尖叫道。 “如果我们不赶快做点什么，我会死的，我知道我会死的!”“我找到了!”推特先生叫道。 “我知道我们该怎么办!”我们要头朝下倒立，这样我们就能爬起来了!”所以他们就倒立着，当然，当他们的头顶碰到地板的那一刻，几分钟前乌鸦刷上去的粘性胶水就起作用了。 他们被困住了。

They were pinned down, cemented, glued, fixed to the floorboards. Through a crack in the door the monkeys watched. They'd jumped right out of their cage the moment the Twits had gone inside. And the Roly-Poly Bird watched. And all the other birds flew in and out to catch a glimpse of this extraordinary sight.

它们被钉住、粘牢、粘牢、固定在地板上。 猴子们透过门缝看着。 特Twits一进去，它们就从笼子里跳出来了。 大鸟看着。 所有其他的鸟都飞进飞出，只为一睹这非凡的景象。
