Hany just smiled proudly.

Hector and the cello.

赫克托和大提琴

Hector the Hippo wanted to play the cello more than anything else in the world.

河马赫克托这辈子最想做的事，就是拉大提琴。

But who in the wild wet jungle would teach him?

可在这片湿漉漉的野生丛林里，谁会教他呀？

Hector tramped through the jungle to find a cello teacher. First, he met a lion. I want to play the cello, said Hector. Whoever heard of a hippo playing the cello? roared the lion. He roared so loudly that his mane fell off.

赫克托踏着重重的步子穿过丛林，要找一位大提琴老师。 最先，他遇到了一头狮子。 赫克托说：“我想拉大提琴。” 狮子大吼道：“谁听说过河马会拉大提琴啊？” 他吼得太用力，连鬃毛都掉下来了。

Hector picked up the lion's mane and draped it round his neck. It was going to be a chilly night in the wild, wet jungle. On he tramped until…

赫克托捡起狮子的鬃毛，围在了自己的脖子上。 这片湿漉漉的野生丛林里，夜晚可是会很冷的哦。 他又继续往前走呀走，直到……

He met a leopard. I want to play the cello! said Hector. Whoever heard of a hippo playing the cello? growled the leopard. She growled so loudly that all her spots flew off.

他遇到了一只花豹。 赫克托说：“我想拉大提琴！” 花豹低吼道：“谁听说过河马会拉大提琴啊？” 她吼得太使劲，身上的斑点全都飞出去了。
