8. Swooping

8 Swooping The children ran! They ran everywhere, I tell you! They ran to and fro! And up and down! And back and forth! And here and there! Also, Roger ran sideways. And Lennie ran in a circle. I watched them very fascinated. Some of the children were tackling and scuffling. Sheldon went through a shrub. That's when Lucille's daddy blew his whistle again.

孩子们跑了！他们到处乱跑，我告诉你！他们跑来跑去！上上下下！来来回回！这里和那里！罗杰也侧身跑开了。 伦尼绕着圈子跑。 我看着他们非常着迷。 有些孩子在扭打。 谢尔顿穿过了灌木丛。 这时露西尔的爸爸又吹起了口哨。

TWEET! TWEET! TWEET! "Everyone come back here right now!" he shouted real mad. Everyone came back. Sheldon had a stick in his ear. He sputtered and stuttered and pointed at May. "She pushed me! She pushed me! May pushed me through a bush!" May stamped her foot. "No, I did not, Sheldon! I did not push you! You pushed yourself!" she said. She turned and looked at the daddy. "It was the darnedest thing you ever saw," she said. "He shoved himself right through that shrub." The daddy stood there a real long time. Then he walked to a picnic bench. And he sat down real slow. And he hit himself in the head. I went over and tapped on him.

推特!推特!推特!“大家马上给我回来！”他非常生气地喊道。 所有人都回来了。谢尔顿耳朵里插了根棍子。 他结结巴巴地说着，指着梅。 “她推了我！”她推了我！梅把我推过了灌木丛！”梅跺着脚。 “不，我没有，谢尔顿！”我没有推你！你逼自己！”她说。 她转过身来看着爸爸。 “这是你见过的最可恶的东西，”她说。 “他从灌木丛中挤了过去。” 爸爸在那里站了很长时间。 然后他走向一张野餐长凳。 他慢慢地坐了下来。 他撞到了自己的头。 我走过去拍了拍他。

"I would just like to point out that the bunny did not run," I said. "The bunny was the only one who walked." May overheard me. "That's because the bunny can't run or the bunny falls down," she called. "The bunny should not get credit for that!" The daddy hit himself in the head again. I walked back to Herbert. He looked kind of worried. "The daddy is coming unglued," he said. I nodded. "Yes," I said. "The daddy is going to need backup, I believe." Backup is the grown-up word for the police might need to come, possibly. And guess what? Me and Herb were not the only ones thinking that, either. 'Cause just then, Lucille's nanna hollered out real loud. "Enough!" she hollered. "I have had

“我只是想指出兔子没有跑，”我说。 “兔子是唯一一个走路的。” 梅听到了我的话。“那是因为兔子跑不动，或者兔子掉下来了，”她喊道。 “兔子不应该得到这个荣誉！”爸爸又打了自己的头。 我走回赫伯特身边。他看起来有点担心。 “爸爸要发疯了，”他说。 我点了点头。“是的，”我说。“我相信爸爸需要后援。” 后援是成年人的说法，意思是警察可能需要来，可能。 你猜怎么着？我和赫伯也不是唯一这么想的人。 因为就在那时，露西尔的奶奶大声喊了起来。 “够了！”她喊道。“我有过

enough of this nonsense with you children!" Then she cupped her hands around her mouth. And she shouted out a brand-new rule. It was called, If there's any more running or fighting, she is going to call the cops. All of the children did a loud gulp. I looked at Herbert. "That new rule seems a little harsh," I said. Only guess what else? The new rule worked, I think. 'Cause pretty soon, the nanna started the egg hunt again. And this time, no one ran at all! No one even walked, hardly. Instead, we all behaved like little ladies and gentlemen. And we hunted for eggs very polite. May stuck to Sheldon like glue. I tried to stick to him, too. But my giant feet could not keep up that good.

别跟你们这些孩子胡闹了！”然后她用手捂着嘴。 她大声喊出了一条全新的规则。 它的名字是，如果再有人逃跑或打架，她就会报警。 所有的孩子都大声地喝了一声。 我看着赫伯特。“新规定似乎有点苛刻，”我说。 猜猜还有什么？我认为新规则起作用了。 因为很快，奶奶又开始找蛋了。 这一次，根本没有人跑！几乎没有人走路。 相反，我们都表现得像小淑女和小绅士。 我们很有礼貌地寻找鸡蛋。 梅像胶水一样粘着谢尔顿。 我也想跟他在一起。 但是我的大脚跟不上。

May kept on grouching. "You're not going to get the golden egg before I do, Sheldon. Even if you know where it is, I'll still beat you to it," she said. "I'm all over you like flies on egg salad." Sheldon rolled his eyes. "But I don't know where the golden egg is, May," he said. "I've already told you that. I don't know anything at all." I cupped my mitts around my mouth. "I believe you, Sheldon! I believe you don't know anything at all!" I shouted. "I've never thought you've known anything at all!" After that, I hurried to catch up to him. 'Cause I definitely thought he knew something, of course. Sheldon turned to wait for me. Then, all of a sudden, he glanced down at the ground. And he did a loud gasp. "I SEE ONE! I SEE ONE! I SEE ONE!" he shouted.

梅不停地发牢骚。“你不可能比我先拿到金蛋的，谢尔顿。 即使你知道它在哪里，我还是会抢在你前面，”她说。 “我就像苍蝇在鸡蛋沙拉上一样围着你转。” 谢尔顿翻了个白眼。“但是我不知道金蛋在哪里，梅，”他说。 “我已经告诉过你了。 我什么都不知道。” 我用手捂住嘴。 “我相信你，谢尔顿！”我相信你什么都不知道！”我叫道。 “我从没想过你什么都知道！”在那之后，我急忙赶上他。 因为我肯定觉得他知道些什么。 谢尔顿转身等我。 然后，突然，他低头看了看地面。 他大声地倒吸了一口气。“我看见一只！”我看到一个！我看见一个！”他喊道。

May and I turned to look. There was a bright green egg under the bushes. Sheldon clapped and laughed. Then he hurried over to pick it up. But… WHOOSH! SWOOP! SCOOP!

梅和我转过头去看。灌木丛下有一个亮绿色的蛋。 谢尔顿鼓掌大笑。 然后他赶紧过去把它捡起来。 但是……嗖!突然袭击!独家新闻!
