A Really Hot Day!

A really hot day.

天气可真热呀。

It was a busy day in downtown Metro City. People hurried along the sidewalk. Cars and buses filled West Street. Rumble! Rumble! Suddenly, the ground shook. Earthquake! A woman shouted. A large shadow fell over the street. Everyone looked up.

大都会市中心的这一天热闹极了。 人行道上的人们脚步匆匆。 西大街上挤满了小汽车和公交车。 轰隆隆！ 轰隆隆！ 突然间，地面晃了起来。 地震啦！ 一个女人大叫道。 一片巨大的阴影笼罩了整条街。 所有人都抬头往上看。

A man gulped. Wha -what is that? Jack had a new frisbee. Roxy and her friends were playing with it in Mara's backyard. Hey Mara, catch! yelled Jack. He threw the frisbee.

一个男人倒吸了一口凉气。 什、什么东西啊？ 杰克有一个新飞盘。 罗克西和朋友们正在玛拉家的后院玩飞盘。 嘿，玛拉，接住！ 杰克大喊道。 他把飞盘扔了出去。

Mara ran fast to catch it. Got it! Throw it over here! Called Terrell. Terrell caught the frisbee and then threw it to Roxy. She caught it and then threw it to Jack. Jack fanned himself with the frisbee. It's so hot today, he said. I wish we could go swimming.

玛拉飞快地跑过去接飞盘。 接到啦！ 扔到我这边来！ 特雷尔喊道。 特雷尔接住飞盘，接着把它扔给了罗克西。 她接住飞盘，又把它扔给了杰克。 杰克拿着飞盘给自己扇风。 今天可太热了，他说道。 真希望我们能去游泳啊。

I asked my mom to take us to the city pool, said Mara, but she has too much work to do today. It's too bad we can't go to the new water park, said Terrell. It's got water slides and a really cool wave machine. That's even better than a pool. Mara shrugged. We can't do anything about the heat, she said. So let's just keep playing frisbee. Here, Roxy, catch!

我求过妈妈带我们去市立泳池，玛拉说，可她今天的工作实在太多了。 咱们去不了新开的水上乐园可太可惜了，特雷尔说。 那里有水滑梯，还有超酷的造浪机，比泳池好玩多啦。 玛拉耸了耸肩。 天这么热我们也没办法呀，她说道。 所以咱们还是接着玩飞盘吧。 给，罗克西，接住！

Roxy caught the frisbee. Then she flung it toward Terrell. Oops! Sorry about that, Terrell! she called. That was a bad throw! Terrell chased after the frisbee, but he couldn't grab it before it sailed over the fence. It dropped into a neighbor's backyard.

罗克西接住飞盘，接着就把它朝特雷尔扔了过去。 哎呀！对不起呀，特雷尔！ 她喊道。 刚才扔得太偏了！ 特雷尔追着飞盘跑，可还没等他抓住，飞盘就飞过了围栏。 它落到了邻居家的后院里。
