杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿:丛林深处的四只老鼠

How SERIOUS Is IT, DR. SHRINKFUR? I was lying on the psychiatrist's couch. It was made of soft, fluffy cat fur. But I wasn't very comfortable. I was worried. "How serious is it, Dr. Shrinkfur?" I murmured, chewing my whiskers. The doctor leaned back in his chair. "Ach, first I haff to know more," he squeaked in his funny accent. "Vhen did Zis thing start?" I sighed. I was never the bravest mouse on the block. In fact, I guess you could say I've always been a bit of a fraidy mouse. I've never enjoyed spooky holidays like Halloween. I hide in my mouse hole on the

有多严重，医生? 我躺在心理医生的沙发上。 它是用柔软蓬松的猫毛做的。 但是我不太舒服。 我很担心。“有多严重?” Shrinkfur ?”我喃喃地说，咬着胡须。 医生向后靠在椅子上。 “啊，首先我得多了解一些。”他用他那滑稽的口音尖声说。 “这件事什么时候开始的?”我叹了口气。 我从来都不是街区里最勇敢的老鼠。 事实上，我想你可以说我一直都是一只胆小的老鼠。 我从来没有喜欢过像万圣节这样令人毛骨悚然的节日。 我躲在我的老鼠洞上

Fourth of July. Fireworks make me nervous. But lately, it seemed like everything was making me jumpy. "Well, at first I was only afraid to go to the dentist, but then I suddenly became afraid of ELEVAIORS. Then came the fear of flying. That was followed by a fear of spiders, snakes, closed spaces, and crowds. After that I became afraid of heights and the dark." I took a deep breath. Just talking about all of my fears was making me afraid! "Oh, yes, I almost forgot, Doctor," I added. "I'm also afraid of cats!" Dr. Shrinkfur waved his paw. "You are a mouse, you haff to be afraid of cats!" he said. I TWIRLED MY TAIL NERVOUSLY. Then I sat up. "Please, Dr. Shrinkfur," I squeaked. "Give it to me straight."

七月四日。烟花使我紧张。 但最近，似乎一切都让我紧张不安。 “嗯，一开始我只是害怕去看牙医，但后来我突然害怕电梯了。 然后是对飞行的恐惧。 其次是对蜘蛛、蛇、封闭空间和人群的恐惧。 从那以后，我开始恐高和怕黑。” 我深吸了一口气。光是谈论我所有的恐惧就让我害怕了!“哦，是的，我差点忘了，医生，”我补充说。 “我也害怕猫!”博士。 Shrinkfur挥舞着他的爪子。“你是一只老鼠，你必须害怕猫!”他说。 我紧张地摇着尾巴。 然后我坐了起来。“请,博士。 “胆小鬼，”我尖声说。“直说吧。”

He shook his head solemnly. "Vell, zis could be serious," he began. "Or it could not be. Zis is up to you!" I scratched my head. "Well, is the cure going to take long?" I asked. The doctor jotted down some notes on a pad. "Vell, it could be long," he said. "Or it could not be long. Zis is up to you!" Now I was confused. If everything was up to me, what was I paying the most famous psychoanalyst in New Mouse City to do? "Will this treatment be expensive?" I asked.

他严肃地摇了摇头。 “嗯，这可能很严重，”他开始说。 “或者不可能。这取决于你!”我挠了挠头。 “嗯，治疗需要很长时间吗?”我问。 医生在便笺簿上草草记下了一些笔记。 “嗯，可能会很长，”他说。 “或者不会太久。这取决于你!”现在我很困惑。 如果一切都由我做主，我花钱请新老鼠城最有名的精神分析学家做什么? “这个治疗会很贵吗?”我问。

The doctor stood up. "Vell, it could be expensive," he said. "Or it could not be. Zis is up to you!" This rodent was beginning to sound like a broken record. Just then, he put his paw on my shoulder. "Remember, Zis is all up to you!" he repeated. "You must FACE YOUR FEARS. Othervise you vill never get vell. I vill see you next Vednesday. For now, it vill be you hundred dollars. Thank you." I left Dr. Shrinkfur's office feeling much lighter. That's because my wallet was completely empty! well, if the most famous PSYCHOANALYST in NEW MOUSE CITY said it was up to me to get well, then I guess it was!

医生站了起来。“嗯，可能会很贵，”他说。 “或者不可能。这取决于你!”这只啮齿动物的声音开始像坏了的唱片。 就在这时，他把爪子放在我的肩膀上。 “记住，一切都取决于你!”他重复道。 “你必须面对你的恐惧。 否则你永远不会好起来。 下周三见。 现在，给你一百美元。 谢谢你。”离开Shrinkfur医生的办公室时，我感觉轻松多了。 那是因为我的钱包完全空了!好吧，如果新老鼠城最有名的精神分析学家说，康复取决于我，那么我想是的!
