01-WAKE UP! WAKE UUUUUUP!

Geronimo Stilton THE CURSE OF THE CHEESE PYRAMID

杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿:奶酪金字塔的诅咒

WAKE Up! WAKE UUUUUUUP! It was just before dawn in the middle of winter. The moon shone down over the mouse holes of New Mouse City. I was fast asleep under my comfy, cozy blankets, snoring away. Suddenly, the phone rang. I stumbled out of bed, sinking my paws into my new cat-fur rug. It was so soft. I had bought it last weekend at The Fur Mart with my uncle Nibbles. It was expensive, but worth every penny! Still half asleep, I stared down at the fluffy carpet. Then I picked up the phone.

醒醒吧!UUUUUUUP醒来!那是隆冬的黎明前。 月亮照在新老鼠城的老鼠洞上。 我盖着舒适舒适的毯子，呼呼大睡。 突然，电话响了。我跌跌撞撞地下了床，爪子陷进了新买的猫毛地毯里。 它是如此柔软。上周末我和尼布尔斯叔叔在毛皮市场买的。 它很贵，但物有所值!我还在半睡半醒，低头盯着毛茸茸的地毯。 然后我拿起电话。

"Hello! Stilton speaking, Geronimo Stilton," I mumbled. A strangely familiar voice shrieked back at me. "WAKE UP!" it cried. WAKEUUUUP My ears were ringing like church bells at Christmousetime. "W-who... w-what... who is it?" I stammered. But the mad shrieker had already hung up. I glanced at the alarm clock. RANCID RAT HAIRS! It was six o'clock in the morning! I dove back under my covers and continued snoring. I woke up again at eight o'clock. I called a taxi to take me to the office. I arrived at nine o'clock sharp.

“你好!我是斯蒂尔顿，杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿。” 一个奇怪而熟悉的声音冲着我尖叫起来。 “醒醒!”它叫道。我的耳朵像圣诞节时教堂的钟声一样响个不停。 “知道谁…w-what……是谁呀?”我结结巴巴地说。 但是那个疯狂的尖叫者已经挂了电话。 我瞥了一眼闹钟。 腐臭的老鼠毛!这是早上6点钟!我钻进被窝，继续打鼾。 我八点钟又醒了。 我叫了一辆出租车送我去办公室。 我九点整到达。

Oh, yes, I forgot to mention that I run a newspaper. It is called The Rodent's Gazette. It is the most popular newspaper on Mouse Island! I'd like to say the paper's a success just because of me. But I have lots of help. Still, I'm the big cheese at the office. As I was saying, I got to work at nine o'clock sharp. I opened the door to my office wide... ...and found myself snout-to-snout with my grandfather William Shortpaws— also known as Cheap Mouse Willy. Grandfather William is a tough-talking mouse. Everyone at the office is afraid of him. That's because he is the founder of The Rodent's Gazette!

哦，对了，我忘了说我经营一家报纸。 它叫《啮齿动物公报》。 它是老鼠岛上最受欢迎的报纸!我想说报纸的成功全是因为我。 但我有很多帮助。不过，我还是办公室里的大人物。 正如我所说的，我九点整开始工作。 我把办公室的门打开了。 …我发现自己和我的祖父威廉·短爪——也被称为廉价老鼠威利——亲密无间。 威廉爷爷是一只说话很凶的老鼠。 办公室里的人都怕他。 那是因为他是《啮齿动物公报》的创始人!
