05 The BFG

The BFG The Giant picked up the trembling Sophie with one hand and carried her across the cave and put her on the table. Now he really is going to eat me, Sophie thought. The Giant sat down and stared hard at Sophie. He had truly enormous ears. Each one was as big as the wheel of a truck and he seemed to be able to move them inwards and outwards from his head as he wished. 'I is hungry!' the Giant boomed. He grinned, showing massive square teeth. The teeth were very white and very square and they sat in his mouth like huge slices of white bread. 'P… please don't eat me,' Sophie stammered. The Giant let out a bellow of laughter. 'Just because I is a giant, you think I is a man-gobbling cannybull!' he shouted. 'You is about right! Giants is all cannybully and murderful! And they does gobble up human beans! We is in Giant Country

巨人用一只手抱起浑身发抖的索菲，穿过山洞，把她放在桌子上。 现在他真的要吃了我了，索菲想。 巨人坐下来，目不转睛地盯着索菲。 他的耳朵真的很大。 每一个都像卡车的轮子一样大，他似乎可以随心所欲地把它们从他的头上移到里面或外面。 “我饿了!”巨人大声说。 他咧嘴一笑，露出又大又方的牙齿。 他的牙齿又白又方，嵌在嘴里，就像一片片巨大的白面包。 “哦……请不要吃我。”苏菲结结巴巴地说。 巨人发出一声大笑。 “就因为我是个巨人，你就认为我是个吃人的精明人!”他喊道。 “你说得差不多!”巨人都是狡猾的恶霸和凶残的!它们确实会吃人类的豆子!我们在巨人国

now! Giants is everywhere around! Out there us has the famous Bonecrunching Giant! Bonecrunching Giant crunches up two wopsey whiffling human beans for supper every night! Noise is earbursting! Noise of crunching bones goes crackety-crack for miles around!' 'Owch!' Sophie said. 'Bonecrunching Giant only gobbles human beans from Turkey' the Giant said. 'Every night Bonecruncher is galloping off to Turkey to gobble Turks.' Sophie's sense of patriotism was suddenly so bruised by this remark that she became quite angry 'Why Turks?' she blurted out. 'What's wrong with the English?' 'Bonecrunching Giant says Turks is tasting oh ever so much juicier and more scrumdiddlyumptious! Bonecruncher says Turkish human beans has a glamourly flavour. He says Turks from Turkey is tasting of turkey.' 'I suppose they would,' Sophie said. 'Of course they would!' the Giant shouted. 'Every human bean is diddly and different. Some is scrumdiddlyumptious and some is uckyslush.

现在!到处都是巨人!那就是著名的啃骨巨人!嘎吱嘎吱的巨人每天晚上都会嘎吱嘎吱地吃两颗呼呼作响的人类豆子当晚餐!噪音太大了!骨头嘎吱嘎吱的声音方圆几英里都能听到!“Owch !”苏菲说。 “啃骨头巨人只吃来自土耳其的人类豆子。”巨人说。 “每天晚上，‘啃骨头者’都跑到土耳其去吃土耳其人。”索菲的爱国主义意识突然被这句话深深伤害了，她非常生气。“为什么是土耳其人?”她脱口而出。 “英国人怎么了?”“嘎吱嘎吱的巨人说土耳其人尝起来比以前多汁多香!”Bonecruncher说土耳其人豆有一种迷人的味道。 他说来自土耳其的土耳其人正在品尝火鸡。"我想他们会的，"索菲说。 “他们当然会!”巨人喊道。 “每个人的豆子都是不一样的。 有些是美味的，有些是幸运的。

Greeks is all full of uckyslush. No giant is eating Greeks, ever.' 'Why not?' Sophie asked. 'Greeks from Greece is all tasting greasy' the Giant said. 'I imagine that's possible too,' Sophie said. She was wondering with a bit of a tremble what all this talking about eating people was leading up to. Whatever happened, she simply must play along with this peculiar giant and smile at his jokes. But were they jokes? Perhaps the great brute was just working up an appetite by talking about food. 'As I am saying,' the Giant went on, 'all human beans is having different flavours. Human beans from Panama is tasting very strong of hats.' 'Why hats?' Sophie said. 'You is not very clever,' the Giant said, moving his great ears in and out. 'I thought all human beans is full of brains, but your head is emptier than a bundongle.'

希腊人充满了幸运。 没有巨人吃希腊人，从来没有。“为什么不呢?”苏菲问。 “来自希腊的希腊人尝起来都很油腻。”巨人说。 “我想这也有可能，”索菲说。 她有点发抖，不知道这些关于吃人的谈话会导致什么结果。 无论发生什么，她都必须和这个奇怪的巨人一起玩，对他的笑话微笑。 但它们是玩笑吗?也许这只大野兽只是通过谈论食物来激发食欲。 “就像我说的，”巨人接着说，“所有的人类豆子都有不同的味道。 巴拿马人豆的味道很浓。“为什么是帽子?”苏菲说。 “你不太聪明，”巨人说着，把他的大耳朵前后摆动着。 “我以为所有的人类豆子都是有脑子的，但你的脑袋比捆包还空。”

'Do you like vegetables?' Sophie asked, hoping to steer the conversation towards a slightly less dangerous kind of food. 'You is trying to change the subject,' the Giant said sternly. 'We is having an interesting babblement about the taste of the human bean. The human bean is not a vegetable.' 'Oh, but the bean is a vegetable,' Sophie said. 'Not the human bean,' the Giant said. 'The human bean has two legs and a vegetable has no legs at all.' Sophie didn't argue any more. The last thing she wanted to do was to make the Giant cross. 'The human bean,' the Giant went on, 'is coming in dillions of different flavours. For instance, human beans from Wales is tasting very whooshey of fish. There is something very fishy about Wales.' 'You means whales,' Sophie said. 'Wales is something quite different.' 'Wales is whales', the Giant said. 'Don't gobblefunk around with words. I will now give you another example. Human beans from Jersey has a most disgustable woolly tickle on the

“你喜欢蔬菜吗?”索菲问道，希望把话题引到一种稍微不那么危险的食物上。 “你想转移话题，”巨人严厉地说。 “我们正在对人豆的味道进行有趣的讨论。 人豆不是蔬菜。"哦，可豆子是蔬菜啊。"索菲说。 “不是人类的豆子。”巨人说。 “人类的豆子有两条腿，而蔬菜根本没有腿。”索菲不再争辩了。 她最不想做的就是做那个巨大的十字架。 “人豆，”巨人接着说，“有无数种不同的口味。 例如，来自威尔士的人豆尝起来很像鱼。 威尔士有一些非常可疑的东西。"你是说鲸鱼吧，"索菲说。 “威尔士则完全不同。“威尔士就是鲸鱼，”巨人说。 不要在言语上胡言乱语。 现在我再举一个例子。 泽西岛出产的人豆有一种令人作呕的毛茸茸的痒

tongue,' the Giant said. 'Human beans from Jersey is tasting of cardigans.' 'You mean jerseys,' Sophie said. 'You are once again gobblefunking!' the Giant shouted. 'Don't do it! This is a serious and snitching subject. May I continue?' 'Please do,' Sophie said. 'Danes from Denmark is tasting ever so much of dogs,' the Giant went on. 'Of course,' Sophie said. 'They taste of great danes.'

“舌头。”巨人说。泽西岛的人豆尝起来有开衫的味道。"你是说运动衫吗? "索菲说。 “你又在胡说八道!”巨人喊道。 “别这样!”这是一个严肃的话题。 我可以继续吗?"请说。"索菲说。 “来自丹麦的丹麦人品尝了太多的狗，”巨人接着说。 "当然，"索菲说。“它们的味道很好。”
