A Different World

不同的世界

Huey’s fins opened and closed . They shone all different colors . But he was quiet. “ What’s the matter, Huey?” asked Jane. “ I’ve never said anything before, ” he said, “ but are you sure this is what you want?” Huey looked really worried.

休伊的鳍开合。 它们闪耀着不同的颜色。 但他很安静。 ”怎么了,休伊?”简问。 ”我以前从没说过什么,”他说, ”但你确定这是你想要的吗?” 休伊看起来很担心。

“ I don’t like being a child, ” Jane said. “ People always tell you what to do. But grown-ups can do whatever they want. ” Huey shook his head. “ No, Jane. Being grown-up is harder than you think. But this is your wish. ” His fins turned dark. Then the children felt a tickling in their arms and legs.

”我不喜欢当孩子,”简说。 ”人们总是告诉你该做什么。 但成年人可以为所欲为。” 休伊摇了摇头。 ”不,简。长大比你想象的要难。 但这是你的愿望。” 他的鳍变黑了。 然后,孩子们感到胳膊和腿在挠痒痒。

“ I’m growing! ” Bobby shouted . His chubby stomach disappeared as he continued to grow tall. “ Look at me! ” shouted Jane. Her hair turned darker as she also grew taller. Panther’s glasses disappeared and her face grew longer. Not only did Cy grow taller but he also got bigger.

”我在成长!”鲍比喊道。 当他继续变高时,他胖乎乎的肚子消失了。 ”看看我!”简喊道。 随着身高的增长,她的头发也变黑了。 黑豹的眼镜消失了,脸也变长了。 赛伊不仅长高了,还变大了。

他的肚子伸到了面前。 ”赛伊胖了!”鲍比调侃道。 ”闭嘴,鲍比,”赛伊喊道。 最后,挠痒痒的感觉停止了。 它们已经停止生长。 现在孩子们不再是孩子了。 “你们都长大了,”休伊伤心地说。

They looked at each other. Cy and Bobby were wearing suits. “ This tie is choking me, ” complained Bobby. Panther and Jane were wearing skirts and high heels. They carried purses. “ I’m a woman! ” Jane said happily. “ Well, my work is done. So if you’d please . . . ” Huey pointed to the well.

他们互相看着对方。 赛伊和鲍比穿着西装。 ”这条领带让我窒息,”鲍比抱怨道。 黑豹和简穿着裙子和高跟鞋。 他们带着钱包。 ”我是个女人!”简高兴地说。 ”我的工作完成了。 所以如果你愿意……”休伊指着井。
