24-SWEET, SWEET MOUSE ISLAND!

SWEET, SWEET MOUSE ISLAND! Can a land be sweet! I don't mean sweet like sugar on a cream-cheese doughnut. I mean sweet as in "melt your heart sweet." Yes, there was no other place like sweet, sweet Mouse Island. We sailed toward land, grinning from ear to ear. Our smiles were so wide we could have been poster mice for Flossy, my dental rat. It felt so good to be home at last! By now you know how much I HATE traveling! We sailed by the statue that stands at the entrance to New Mouse City Harbor. It is the Statue of Liberty, holding up a big piece of

可爱，可爱的老鼠岛!土地会是甜蜜的吗?我不是说像奶油芝士甜甜圈上的糖那样甜。 我说的甜是"融化你的心脏的甜" 是的，再没有比老鼠岛更甜美的地方了。 我们驶向陆地，笑得合不拢嘴。 我们的笑容如此灿烂，简直可以成为我的牙鼠Flossy的海报老鼠。 终于回家了，感觉真好!现在你知道我有多讨厌旅行了吧!我们乘船经过新老鼠城港口入口处的雕像。 那是自由女神像，举着一大块

cheese. Mice come from all over just to see her. Today a crowd of rodents had gathered at her feet. They all gave us puzzled stares as we sailed by. "Let's show those mice a real pirate's homecoming!" Trap shouted. We bowed low. Then we waved our hats and cheered, "Hooray for New Mouse City!" Next, before we could stop him, Trap fired a round from our ship's one hundred cannons. Luckily,

奶酪。老鼠从四面八方赶来就是为了看她。 今天，一群啮齿动物聚集在她的脚边。 当我们驶过时，他们都困惑地看着我们。 “让我们给那些老鼠看看真正的海盗是怎么回家的!”陷阱喊道。 我们深深地鞠了一躬。然后我们挥舞着帽子欢呼，“新老鼠城万岁!”接着，我们还没来得及阻止他，特拉普就用我们船上的一百门大炮开了一枪。 幸运的是,

the mice below knew it was only meant as a greeting. Leave it to my cousin to come in with a bang! The other ships in the water quickly let us pass. Then they followed behind us in a line. It was like we were leading a floating mouse parade.

下面的老鼠知道这只是一种问候。 把它留给我的表弟，让他砰的一声进来!水里的其他船只很快就让我们通过了。 然后他们排成一行跟在我们后面。 就像我们在带领一个漂浮的老鼠游行。

"We are going to be famous, ratlets!" cried Trap. He was waving to the mice below as if he were a famouse rock star or a big-time movie mouse. "Look at them!" he squeaked excitedly. "They're practically drooling over us! Wait until they see the treasure!" We lowered the sails. The Silver claw dropped anchor right in the middle of the harbor.

“我们要出名了，老鼠们!” 他向下面的老鼠挥手，好像他是一个著名的摇滚明星或一个大电影的老鼠。 “看他们!”他兴奋地尖叫着。 “他们对我们垂涎三尺!”等着他们看到宝藏吧!”我们降下了帆。 银爪号就在港口中央抛锚了。

The four of us climbed into a rowboat and reached the shore. The crowd was extra noisy. They had enough questions to sink our ship! "Where do you come from? And where does that enormouse ship come from?" "Why the cannons? And what about that flag with the skull?" "Look at their clothing! Hey, isn't that geronimo stilton, the newspaper mouse? You know, the one who published the YELLOW PAGES? Remember all those wrong numbers?" Oops! I had forgotten all about the phone book disaster.

我们四个人爬上一只划艇，来到岸边。 人群格外吵闹。 他们的问题多得足以把我们的船弄沉!“你是哪里人?” 那艘巨大的船是从哪儿来的?”“为什么要用大炮?” 那面骷髅旗呢?”“看看他们的衣服!”嘿，那不是那个报纸老鼠杰罗尼莫·斯蒂尔顿吗? 就是那个出版黄页的人? 还记得那些错误的号码吗?”哦!我完全忘记了电话簿的灾难。
