The Last Wish
最后的愿望
The next morning, the Barth children were feeling much better. Still, they missed their parents very much . It was over a week since Mom and Dad had left. Of course they called every night. But it wasn’t the same. “ I hope Mom and Dad come home soon, ” said Bobby.
第二天早上,巴特的孩子们感觉好多了。 尽管如此,他们还是非常想念父母。 爸爸妈妈离开已经一个多星期了。 当然,他们每晚都会打电话。 但情况并非如此。 ”我希望爸爸妈妈很快回家,”鲍比说。
“ I miss them so much, ” Jane said, almost in tears. “ Dad has to find a job first, ” said Cy bravely. Inside, he, too, missed his parents. “ I wish he would find one today, ” said Panther. Almost at the same time, the children looked up.
”我太想念他们了,”简几乎哭着说。 ”爸爸必须先找到工作,”赛伊勇敢地说。 在里面,他也想念他的父母。 ”我希望他今天能找到一个。”黑豹说。 几乎同时,孩子们抬起头来。
“ Are you thinking what I’m thinking?” asked Cy. ” Huey, ” Bobby said under his breath. “ But we said no more wishes, ” argued Panther. “ Each of us got two wishes . That’s it! ” “ But this is different, ” said Cy. “ It’s not for us, it’s for Mom and Dad. ”
你在想我在想什么吗?”赛伊问。 “休伊,”鲍比低声说道。 ”但我们没有说更多的愿望,”黑豹争辩道。 ”我们每个人都有两个愿望。就是这样!” ”但这是不同的,”赛伊说。 ”这不是给我们的,是给爸爸妈妈的。”
The children thought about this. “ And we didn’t say good-bye to Huey, ” added Jane. “ That’s true, ” admitted Panther. So the children set out to see Huey once again. Cy lowered the bucket as usual. But it took longer to locate Huey’s shell . Finally Cy found him and pulled him up.
孩子们想到了这一点。 ”我们没有和休伊道别,”简补充道。 ”这是真的,”黑豹承认。 于是,孩子们再次出发去看休伊。 赛伊像往常一样放下了铲斗。 但找到休伊的外壳花了更长的时间。 最后赛伊找到了他,把他拉了起来。
“ Where were you, Huey?” asked Cy when the magical creature appeared. “ Just busy with something, ” Huey answered, avoiding their eyes. Huey seemed different from his usual self. But the children were afraid to ask if something had happened to him. ” Whose turn is it today?” Huey said, his voice back to normal.
”你在哪里,休伊?”赛伊问这个神奇的生物何时出现。 “只是忙着什么,”休伊回答,避开了他们的目光。 休伊似乎和往常不同。 但孩子们不敢问他是否出了什么事。 “今天轮到谁了?”休伊说,他的声音恢复了正常。
