FLAT STANLEY的世界冒险11在法国装裱

1 La Mission Impossible Stanley Lambchop stood before the map that his teacher, Ms. Merrick, had yanked down at the front of the classroom. She nodded at him to begin. "I've traveled all over the world," Stanley told his class. "I've been to Canada, Mexico, Egypt, Japan, Kenya, and China." He pointed to each country as he spoke. His classmate Molly raised her hand. "Do you always travel by mail?" she asked. Ever since the bulletin board over Stanley's bed had fallen and flattened him, he had been easy to fold and mail in an envelope. "Not always. Sometimes I fly," Stanley replied. He thought for a moment. "On a plane, I mean. Or I can float thousands of miles if the wind is right."

斯坦利·兰普切站在地图前，他的老师邓文迪。 麦里克在教室前面猛拉了一下。 她点头示意他开始。 “我走遍了世界，”斯坦利告诉他的同学们。 “我去过加拿大、墨西哥、埃及、日本、肯尼亚和中国。” 他一边说话一边指着每个国家。 他的同学莫莉举起了手。 “你总是通过邮件旅行吗?”她问。 自从史丹利床上的布告栏掉下来把他压扁后，他就很容易折起来装进信封里寄出去了。 “不总是正确的。有时我会飞。”斯坦利回答。 他想了一会儿。“我是说在飞机上。 如果风合适的话，我也可以漂几千英里。”

Stanley's friend Carlos raised his hand next. "So you've never been to Europe?" Stanley turned and found Europe on the map. He scanned the countries that made up the continent: England... Spain... France... Germany... Italy... "Actually, no, I haven't been to any of the European countries.... But I have been to Australia." He reached over, past Europe and Asia, and proudly tapped the country in the bottom right corner.

斯坦利的朋友卡洛斯接着举起了手。 “这么说你从来没去过欧洲?”斯坦利转过身，在地图上找到了欧洲。 他扫视了一下组成欧洲大陆的国家:英格兰…… 西班牙…法国……德国…… 意大利……“事实上，没有，我没有去过任何欧洲国家.... 但我去过澳大利亚。” 他越过欧洲和亚洲，骄傲地在右下角点了一下这个国家。

The map shuddered and snapped up like a window shade. All at once it was dark, and Stanley's body felt very tightly wound. He'd been rolled up with the map! "Hilph!" Stanley cried. He could hear his classmates laughing. Suddenly there was a muffled announcement over the loudspeaker. A moment later Stanley felt

地图颤抖着，像窗帘一样啪的一声弹了起来。 突然间天黑了，斯坦利的身体感到非常紧张。 他和地图一起被卷起来了!“Hilph !”斯坦利哭了。 他能听到同学们的笑声。 突然，扩音器里传来低沉的通告。 过了一会儿，斯坦利觉得

himself being unwound. "Stanley," Ms. Merrick said as she pulled the map back down. "You are to report to the principal's office at once." "But it was an accident!" Stanley pleaded. "I wasn't trying to be funny. The map just snapped!" "I know, Stanley," his teacher said gently. "I'm sure it's nothing serious."

他自己被解开了。“斯坦利女士。 麦里克说着把地图拉了下来。 “你必须马上到校长办公室去报到。” “但那是个意外!”斯坦利辩护。 “我不是想搞笑。 地图刚刚断了!”“我知道，斯坦利，”他的老师温柔地说。 “我肯定没什么大不了的。”

Stanley slouched into the office, but the principal wasn't there. Instead Stanley found someone else —a man he recognized! "Mr. Dart!" Stanley cried. "What are you doing here?" Mr. O. Jay Dart was the director of the Famous Museum. Stanley had once helped him catch some art thieves. Stanley had been forced to disguise himself as a shepherd girl in a painting, which was very embarrassing. It was worth it, though, because he caught the thieves red-handed. "Hello, Stanley," Mr. Dart said, quickly closing the door. "The principal was kind enough to lend me an office. I've come on official business." He laid a leather briefcase on the desk. "Stanley," he continued as he turned the combination lock on the front of his briefcase. "Have you ever heard of the Mona Lisa?" "The painting?" "That's right," Mr. Dart said as the case unlocked with a click. "She was painted around 1505 by the great artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci. When you see her, say hello for me, will you?" Mr. Dart winked mysteriously and lifted the

斯坦利没精打采地走进办公室，但校长不在。 相反，斯坦利找到了另一个人——一个他认识的人!“先生。 镖!”斯坦利哭了。“你在这儿干什么?”O先生。 杰伊·达特是著名博物馆的馆长。 斯坦利曾经帮他抓过几个艺术品窃贼。 斯坦利被迫在一幅画中伪装成一个牧羊女，这很尴尬。 不过这一切都是值得的，因为他当场抓住了小偷。 “你好，斯坦利，”达特先生说着，迅速关上了门。 “校长很好心，借给我一间办公室。 我是因公来的。” 他把一个皮公文包放在桌子上。 “斯坦利，”他一边继续说，一边转动公文包前面的密码锁。 “你听说过蒙娜丽莎吗?”“这幅画?”“没错，”达特说，箱子咔哒一声打开了。 她是1505年左右由伟大的艺术家和发明家列奥纳多·达·芬奇创作的。 你见到她时，替我问好，好吗?”达特先生神秘地眨了眨眼，举起了
