10-I'M AFRAID OF FLYING!

I'M AFRAID OF FLYING! By now, I'd had ENOUGH. "Take me back home!" I insisted. "I got on that elevator, but I am not getting on a plane! I'M AFPAID OF FLYING! As usual, my cousin seemed to ignore me. Instead, he raised his eyebrows. "Look over there!" he whispered in my ear. It was the pretty mouse we had met earlier. She was standing at the check-in desk. I couldn't help smiling. She really was attractive. And she was a fan of my books. What a great combination! I should have found out her name. Maybe we could be pen pals. Maybe we could share a grilled cheese sandwich at the Squeak & Chew sometime.

我害怕坐飞机!到现在为止，我受够了。 “带我回家!”我坚持。 “我上了电梯，但我不上飞机!”我讨厌坐飞机!像往常一样，我的表弟似乎不理睬我。 相反，他扬起了眉毛。 “看那边!”他在我耳边低语。 这就是我们之前见过的那只漂亮的老鼠。 她站在办理登机手续的柜台前。 我忍不住笑了。她真的很迷人。 她是我书的粉丝。 多么好的组合啊!我应该知道她的名字。 也许我们可以成为笔友。 也许我们可以找个时间在Squeak & Chew一起吃烤奶酪三明治。

I stared dreamily into space. I didn't notice my cousin scamper over to the MOUSAIR check-in counter. He returned, waving three tickets in the air. "Here we are!" he squeaked, waking me out of my daydream. "Thea, Benjamin, and I have seats at the back of the plane. Geronimo, you are in seat 11B." I shook my head. "B-b-but I can't sit alone," I stammered. "I just told you, I'm afraid of flying!"

我如梦似幻地凝视着天空。 我没有注意到我的表弟跑到MOUSAIR的登记柜台。 他回来了，在空中挥舞着三张票。 “我们到了!”他尖声叫道，把我从白日梦中叫醒。 “西娅、本杰明和我的座位在飞机的后面。 杰罗尼莫，你的座位是11B。” 我摇了摇头。“但是我不能一个人坐着。”我结结巴巴地说。 “我刚告诉过你，我害怕坐飞机!”

Then i heard a soft voice behind me. It was the pretty stranger. "Did you say you are sitting in 11B?" she murmured. I nodded. "How exciting!" she exclaimed. "I am in 11A. That means we'll sit together!" I grinned. What a sweet mouse. It would be nice to spend more time with a fan. Maybe I could get on the plane after all. Beside me, Trap winked. For some reason, he looked very pleased with himself. What was this all about? But there was no time to think. We were about to board. "By the way, where are we going?" I whispered to Trap as we stood in line.

然后我听到身后有一个轻柔的声音。 原来是那个漂亮的陌生人。 “你是说你坐在11B吗?”她喃喃地说。 我点了点头。“多么令人兴奋啊!”她惊呼道。 “我在11A。这意味着我们要坐在一起!”我咧嘴笑了笑。 多可爱的老鼠啊。多花点时间和粉丝在一起就好了。 也许我还是可以上飞机的。 在我身边，特拉普眨了眨眼睛。不知什么原因，他看起来对自己很满意。 这是怎么回事?但是没有时间思考。 我们正要登机。“顺便问一下，我们要去哪儿?”我们排队时，我低声对特拉普说。

"Um, yes, well, it's a beautiful place," he mumbled. "Lots of fresh air and sunshine. You're going to love it." For the first time since I'd been mousenapped, I began to relax. Maybe a little vacation would do me some good. I could sleep until noon. Take a dip in the pool. Watch the sun set over the ocean. "That's right," Trap continued. "We're headed for RATTYTRAP JUNGLE on the Rto MOSQUITO." My eyes popped open. Rattytrap Jungle? Rio Mosquito? What an odd place for a resort. fclnef. Oh, well, I sighed. Maybe the mosquitoes were friendlier in the tropics.

“嗯，是的，嗯，那是个美丽的地方，”他咕哝着说。 “有很多新鲜空气和阳光。 你会喜欢的。”自从我被抓老鼠以来，我第一次开始放松下来。 也许放个假对我有好处。 我可以一直睡到中午。在游泳池里泡一泡。 看太阳从海上落下。 “没错，”特拉普接着说。 “我们要去‘蚊子号’上的‘鼠窝丛林’。” 我的眼睛突然睁开了。Rattytrap丛林? 里约热内卢蚊子吗?真是个奇怪的度假胜地。 哦，好吧，我叹了口气。也许热带地区的蚊子更友好。
