3 Part 03

'Here we go!' the Pelican whispered to me, and with a swish and a swoop he carried me up to the very top of the cherry tree and there he perched. 'Pick them, Billy!' he whispered. 'Pick them quickly and put them in my beak!' The gardener got such a shock he fell off the ladder. Down below us, the Duke was shouting, 'My gun! Get me my gun! Some damnable monster of a bird is stealing my best cherries! Be

“我们走吧!”鹈鹕低声对我说，然后嗖的一声，它把我带到了樱桃树的顶端，在那里栖息。 “把它们摘下来，比利!”他低声说。 “快把它们捡起来，放进我的嘴里!”园丁吓得从梯子上摔了下来。 在我们下面，公爵喊道:“我的枪!把枪给我!有只该死的怪物鸟在偷我最好的樱桃!是

off with you, sir! Go away! Those are my cherries, not yours! I'll have you shot for this, sir! Where is my gun?' 'Hurry, Billy!' whispered the Pelican. 'Hurry, hurry, hurry!' 'My gun!' the Duke was shouting to the gardener. 'Get me my gun, you idiot! I'll have that thieving bird for breakfast, you see if I don't.' 'I've picked them all,' I whispered to the Pelican. At once the Pelly flew down and landed right

走吧，先生!走开!那是我的樱桃，不是你的!我要枪毙你，先生!我的枪在哪里?“快点，比利!”鹈鹕低声说。 “快，快，快!”“我的枪!”公爵对园丁喊道。 “把枪给我，你这个白痴!”我要把那只偷东西的鸟当早餐吃，你看我不吃。“我把它们都摘了，”我低声对鹈鹕说。 Pelly立刻飞了下来，降落在右边

beside the furious figure of the Duke of Hampshire, who was prancing about and waving his stick in the air! 'Your cherries, Your Grace!' I said as I leaned over the edge of the Pelican's beak and offered a handful to the Duke. The Duke was staggered. He reeled back and his eyes popped nearly out of their sockets. 'Great

旁边是汉普郡公爵愤怒的身影，他正跳来跳去，在空中挥舞着他的手杖!“您的樱桃，陛下!”我边说边探过鹈鹕的喙边，递给公爵一把。 公爵惊呆了。他摇摇晃晃地往后走，眼睛几乎要从眼窝里蹦出来了。 “大

Scott!' he gasped. 'Good Lord! What's this? Who are you?' And now the Giraffe, with the Monkey dancing about on her back, emerged suddenly from the bushes. The Duke stared at them. He looked as though he was about to have a fit. 'Who are these creatures?' he bellowed. 'Has the whole world gone completely dotty?' 'We are the window-cleaners!' sang out the Monkey. 'We will polish your glass Till it's shining like brass And it sparkles like sun on the sea! We will work for Your Grace Till we're blue in the face, The Giraffe and the Pelly and me!' 'You asked us to come and see you,' the Giraffe said.

斯科特!他喘着气说。“上帝!这是什么? 你是谁?”这时长颈鹿突然从灌木丛中钻了出来，猴子在长颈鹿背上跳来跳去。 公爵盯着他们。他看上去好像要发作了。 “这些人是谁?”他吼道。 “整个世界都疯了吗?”“我们是擦窗户的!”猴子叫道。 “我们会把你的玻璃擦亮，直到它像黄铜一样闪闪发光，像阳光照在海面上!”我们将为陛下鞠躬尽瘁，长颈鹿，鹈鹕和我!“你叫我们来看你的，”长颈鹿说。

The truth was at last beginning to dawn on the Duke. He put a cherry into his mouth and chewed it slowly. Then he spat out the stone. 'I like the way you picked these cherries for me,' he said. 'Could you also pick my apples in the autumn?'

公爵终于开始明白了真相。 他把一颗樱桃放进嘴里，慢慢地咀嚼。 然后他把石头吐了出来。 “我喜欢你为我摘樱桃的样子，”他说。 “你也能在秋天摘我的苹果吗?”

'We could! We could! Of course we could!' we all shouted. 'And who are you?' the Duke said, pointing his stick at me. 'He is our Business Manager,' the Giraffe said. 'His name is Billy. We go nowhere without him.' 'Very well, very well,' the Duke muttered. 'Come along with me and let's see if you're any good at cleaning windows.' I climbed out of the Pelican's beak and the kindly old Duke took me by the hand as we all walked towards the house. When we got there, the Duke said, 'What happens next?' 'It is all very simple, Your Grace,' the Giraffe replied. 'I am the ladder, the Pelly is the bucket and the Monkey is the cleaner. Watch us go!'

“我们可以!我们可以!我们当然可以!我们都喊道。 “你是谁?”公爵用手杖指着我说。 “他是我们的业务经理。”长颈鹿说。 “他叫比利。没有他我们哪儿也去不了。“好吧，好吧，”公爵嘟囔着。 "跟我来，让我看看你擦窗户的手艺好不好。"我从鹈鹕的嘴里爬了出来，和蔼可亲的老公爵拉着我的手，我们都朝房子走去。 我们到了那里，公爵说:“接下来会发生什么?“很简单，陛下，”长颈鹿回答。 “我是梯子，桃子是水桶，猴子是清洁工。 看着我们走吧!”
