Chapter 8 Small Wonders

Chapter 8 Small Wonders Arthur crouched on top of the bookshelf in the corner of the room he and Stanley shared. "Ready?" he asked. "Ready," said Stanley. "Remember, don't—" Arthur leaped from the bookshelf and belly-flopped onto the bed. He bounced up into the air... waved his arms and legs... and crashed right into Stanley, flattening him to the ground.

第八章小奇迹阿瑟蹲在他和斯坦利合住的房间一角的书架上。 “准备好了吗?”他问。“准备好了。”斯坦利说。 “记住，不要——”阿瑟从书架上跳下来，扑通一声跳到床上。 他弹到了空中。 挥舞着他的胳膊和腿…… 正好撞上了斯坦利，把他撞倒在地。

Mr. Lambchop appeared in the doorway. "Arthur," he asked, "don't you think your brother is flat enough already?" Arthur got up off Stanley. "Stanley's training me!" he said excitedly. "That was not what I told you to do," said Stanley. "Was too!" said Arthur. "Was not!" "Was too!" "Was not!"

兰彻先生出现在门口。 “亚瑟，”他问道，“你不觉得你哥哥已经够扁了吗?”阿瑟从斯坦利身上站起来。 “斯坦利在训练我!”他兴奋地说。 “我没叫你这么做，”斯坦利说。 “以前也是!”阿瑟说。“没有!”“太!”“没有!”

"I understand." Mr. Lambchop nodded wisely. "You are opposing forces in balance." "Boys!" called Mrs. Lambchop. "Your friend Carlos is here!" Carlos bounded into the room. "Stanley, you are back!" he said. "How was China?" "Amazing," Stanley replied. "I got torn by a giant panda bear." "No!" Carlos's eyes bulged. Arthur gestured to the bulletin board, where Stanley had hung the photograph that Yang had taken at the zoo. Carlos took one look and let out a long whistle.

“我明白了。”兰彻先生明智地点点头。 “你们是处于平衡的对立力量。” “孩子们!”兰彻太太叫道。 “你的朋友卡洛斯来了!”卡洛斯跳进了房间。 “斯坦利，你回来了!”他说。 “中国怎么样?”“太神奇了，”斯坦利回答。 “我被一只大熊猫撕破了。” “不!”卡洛斯的眼睛鼓了起来。 阿瑟指了指布告栏，斯坦利把杨在动物园拍的照片挂在那里。 卡洛斯看了一眼，吹了一声长长的口哨。

"Stanley was just training me to be a Flying Wonder," announced Arthur. "Oh," said Carlos. "I can come back later." Stanley looked at him curiously. "You need only two people to play Flying Chinese Wonders," Carlos explained with a frown. "I do not want to be a third wheel." Stanley smiled. "You don't understand," he said gently. He positioned Arthur on one side of the room, and Carlos on the other. "Sometimes, for balance," he continued, climbing atop the bed, "a third wheel is just what you need."

“斯坦利只是在训练我成为一名飞行奇迹。”阿瑟宣布。 “哦，”卡洛斯说。“我可以过会儿再来。” 斯坦利好奇地看着他。 “玩《中国飞天奇景》只需要两个人，”卡洛斯皱着眉头解释道。 “我不想当电灯泡。” 斯坦利笑了。“你不明白，”他温和地说。 他让阿瑟站在房间的一边，卡洛斯站在另一边。 “有时候，为了保持平衡，”他爬到床上继续说，“你正需要一个电灯泡。”

And with that, Stanley Lambchop shot into the air.

说完，斯坦利·兰博切飞向空中。
