10 Frobscottle and Whizzpoppers

Frobscottle and Whizzpoppers By now Sophie was beginning to feel not only extremely hungry, but very thirsty as well. Had she been at home she would have finished her breakfast long ago. 'Are you sure there's nothing else to eat around here except those disgusting smelly snozzcumbers?' she asked. 'Not even a fizzwinkel,' answered the Big Friendly Giant. 'In that case, may I please have a little water?' she said. 'Water?' said the BFG, frowning mightily. 'What is water?' 'We drink it,' Sophie said. 'What do you drink?' 'Frobscottle,' announced the BFG. 'All giants is drinking frobscottle.'

这时候，索菲开始觉得不仅饿极了，而且口渴极了。 如果她在家的话，她早就吃完早饭了。 “你确定这儿除了那些恶心的臭鼻涕就没有别的吃的了吗?”她问。 “连汽水都没有。”友善的大巨人回答。 “那样的话，我可以喝点水吗?”她说。 “水?好心眼巨人皱着眉头说。 “水是什么?”"我们喝它。"索菲说。 “你喝什么?”“frobscotle，”好心眼巨人宣布。 “所有的巨人都在喝冰淇淋。”

'Is it as nasty as your snozzcumbers?' Sophie asked. 'Nasty!' cried the BFG. 'Never is it nasty! Frobscottle is sweet and jumbly!' He got up from his chair and went to a second huge cupboard. He opened it and took out a glass bottle that must have been six feet tall. The liquid inside it was pale green, and the bottle was half full. 'Here is frobscottle!' he cried, holding the bottle up proud and high, as though it contained some rare wine. 'Delumptious fizzy frobscottle!' he shouted. He gave it a shake and the green stuff began to fizz like mad. 'But look! It's fizzing the wrong way!' Sophie cried. And indeed it was. The bubbles, instead of travelling upwards and bursting on the surface, were shooting downwards and bursting at the bottom. A pale green frothy fizz was forming at the bottom of the bottle.

“它和你的鼻涕一样脏吗?”苏菲问。 “讨厌!好心眼巨人叫道。“从来就不恶心!”Frobscottle又甜又乱!”他从椅子上站起来，走到第二个大橱柜前。 他打开它，拿出一个玻璃瓶，大概有六英尺高。 瓶子里的液体是淡绿色的，瓶子是半满的。 “这是雪人!”他叫道，骄傲地把瓶子高高举起，好像里面装着什么名贵的酒。 “冒泡的泡泡糖!”他喊道。 他摇了一下，绿色的东西开始疯狂地嘶嘶作响。 但看!它嘶嘶作响的方式不对!”索菲娅哭了。 确实如此。气泡不是向上移动并在表面破裂，而是向下喷射并在底部破裂。 瓶底冒出一股淡绿色的泡沫。

'What on earth is you meaning the wrong way?' asked the BFG. 'In our fizzy drinks,' Sophie said, 'the bubbles always go up and burst at the top.' 'Upwards is the wrong way!' cried the BFG. 'You mustn't ever be having the bubbles going upwards! That the most flushbunking rubbish I ever is hearing!' 'Why do you say that?' Sophie asked. 'You is asking me why?' cried the BFG, waving the enormous bottle around as though he were conducting an orchestra. 'You is actually meaning to tell me you cannot see why it is a scrotty mistake to have the bubbles flying up instead of down?'

“你到底是什么意思?”好心眼巨人问。 “我们的汽水里，”索菲说，“气泡总是往上浮，在顶部破裂。“向上是错误的方向!”好心眼巨人叫道。 “你绝对不能让泡泡向上!”这是我听过的最荒唐的废话!“你为什么这么说?”苏菲问。 “你在问我为什么?”好心眼巨人叫道，一边挥舞着那只巨大的瓶子，好像在指挥一支管弦乐队。 “你真的是想告诉我，你不明白为什么让泡泡向上飞而不是向下飞是一个可怕的错误?”

'You said it was flushbunking. Now you say it's scrotty. Which is it?' Sophie asked politely. 'Both!' cried the BFG. 'It is a flushbunking and a scrotty mistake to let the bubbles go upwards! If you can't see why, you must be as quacky as a duckhound! By ringo, your head must be so full of frogsquinkers and buzz-wangles, I is frittered if I know how you can think at all!' 'Why shouldn't the bubbles go upward?' Sophie asked. 'I will explain,' said the BFG. 'But tell me first what name is you calling your frobscottle by?' 'One is Coke,' Sophie said. 'Another is Pepsi. There are lots of them.' 'And the bubbles is all going up?' 'They all go up,' Sophie said. 'Catasterous!' cried the BFG. 'Upgoing bubbles is a catasterous disastrophe!' 'Will you please tell me why?' Sophie said. 'If you will listen carefully I will try to explain,' said the BFG. 'But your brain is so full of bugwhiffles, I doubt you will ever understand.' 'I'll do my best,' Sophie said patiently. 'Very well, then. When you is drinking this cokey drink of yours,' said the BFG, 'it is going

“你说这是卧铺。 现在你又说这很难缠。是哪一个?”索菲礼貌地问。 “这两个!好心眼巨人叫道。“让泡沫向上膨胀是一个愚蠢的错误!”如果你看不出原因，你一定像鸭子一样敏捷!天哪，你的脑子里一定充满了青蛙的吱吱声和嗡嗡声，如果我知道你怎么能思考，我就完蛋了!“为什么泡沫不应该向上?”苏菲问。 “我来解释，”好心眼巨人说。 “不过你先告诉我，你叫你的小青蛙什么名字?”“一种是可乐，”索菲说。 另一个是百事可乐。有很多。”“泡泡都往上冒了吗?"它们都往上走。"索菲说。 “Catasterous !好心眼巨人叫道。 “泡沫上升是一场灾难性的灾难!”“请告诉我为什么好吗?”苏菲说。 “如果你仔细听我解释，”好心眼巨人说。 “可是你脑子里满是胡思乱想，我怀疑你永远也不会明白。"我会尽力的，"索菲耐心地说。 “那好吧。“当你喝着你那杯可口可乐的时候，”好心眼巨人说，“它在走

straight down into your tummy. Is that right? Or is it left?' 'It's right,' Sophie said. 'And the bubbles is going also into your tummy. Right or left?' 'Right again,' Sophie said. 'And the bubbles is fizzing upwards?' 'Of course,' Sophie said. 'Which means,' said the BFG, 'that they will all come swishwiffling up your throat and out of your mouth and make a foulsome belchy burp!' 'That is often true,' Sophie said. 'But what's wrong with a little burp now and again? It's sort of fun.' 'Burping is filthsome,' the BFG said. 'Us giants is never doing it.' 'But with your drink,' Sophie said, 'what was it you called it?' 'Frobscottle,' said the BFG. 'With frobscottle,' Sophie said, 'the bubbles in your tummy will be going downwards and that could have a far nastier result.' 'Why nasty?' asked the BFG, frowning. 'Because,' Sophie said, blushing a little, 'if they go down instead of up, they'll be coming out

直接进入你的肚子。 对吗?还是左倾?"没错，"索菲说。 “气泡也会进入你的肚子。 向右还是向左?“又对了，”索菲说。 “气泡正在向上嘶嘶作响?”"当然，"索菲说。 “也就是说，”好心眼巨人说，“它们会嗖嗖地从你喉咙里出来，从你嘴里出来，发出一种令人作呕的打嗝声!"这常常是真的，"索菲说。 “但是偶尔打个嗝有什么不好呢?” 这是一种乐趣。“打嗝很恶心，”好心眼巨人说。 美国巨头从来没有这么做过。"但是你的饮料，"索菲说，"你叫它什么来着? "“frobscotle，”好心眼巨人说。 索菲说:“喝了frobscottle，你肚子里的泡泡就会往下压，结果会更糟糕。”“为什么讨厌?”好心眼巨人皱着眉头问。 "因为，"索菲有点脸红地说，"如果他们往下走而不是往上走，他们就会出来的

somewhere else with an even louder and ruder noise.' 'A whizzpopper!' cried the BFG, beaming at her. 'Us giants is making whizzpoppers all the time! Whizzpopping is a sign of happiness. It is music in our ears! You surely is not telling me that a little whizzpopping is forbidden among human beans?' 'It is considered extremely rude,' Sophie said. 'But you is whizzpopping, is you not, now and again?' asked the BFG. 'Everyone is whizzpopping, if that's what you call it,' Sophie said. 'Kings and Queens are whizzpopping. Presidents are whizzpopping. Glamorous film stars are whizzpopping. Little babies are whizzpopping. But where I come from, it is not polite to talk about it.' 'Redunculous!' said the BFG. 'If everyone is making whizzpoppers, then why not talk about it? We is now having a swiggle of this delicious frobscottle and you will see the happy result.' The BFG shook the bottle vigorously. The pale green stuff fizzed and bubbled. He removed the cork and took a tremendous gurgling swig. 'It's glummy!' he cried. 'I love it!'

另一个声音更大更粗鲁的地方。“吹口哨!”好心眼巨人笑着对她喊道。 “我们这些巨人一直在制造爆米花!”嗖嗖作响是幸福的标志。 这是我们耳朵里的音乐!你不会是在告诉我，人类的豆子里不允许有一点闪动吧?"这被认为是非常无礼的，"索菲说。 “但是你在嗖嗖作响，不是吗，时不时地?”好心眼巨人问。 苏菲说:“每个人都在吹口哨，如果你这么说的话。” “国王和王后都在蹦蹦跳跳。 总统们都是昙花一现。 迷人的电影明星们都在闪耀。 小婴儿们蹦蹦跳跳。 但在我的家乡，谈论它是不礼貌的。“Redunculous !好心眼巨人说。 “如果每个人都在制作爆米花，那为什么不谈论它呢?” 我们现在要尝一口美味的冰淇淋，你会看到满意的结果。”好心眼巨人使劲摇晃瓶子。 淡绿色的东西嘶嘶作响，冒着气泡。 他打开瓶塞，咕嘟咕嘟地喝了一大口。 “这是glummy !他叫道。“我爱它!”
