03 Guests

CHAPTER THREE GUESTS When Ricky's parents returned home, they saw the gigantic, towering fort that Ricky and his Robot had made. Ricky's mother was not happy. "You boys are in BIG TROUBLE!" she said. "It was Dad's idea!" said Ricky Ricky's dad was in big trouble, too.

当里基的父母回到家时，他们看到了里基和他的机器人建造的巨大的、高耸的堡垒。 里基的妈妈很不高兴。 “你们有大麻烦了!”她说。 “这是爸爸的主意!”里基说，里基的爸爸也遇到了大麻烦。

"We are having guests over for dinner," said Ricky's mother. "I want that mess cleaned up right now!" "But Dad said we didn't have to clean it up until AFTER we were done playing," Ricky said. Ricky's dad was in even bigger trouble.

“我们有客人过来吃晚饭，”里基的妈妈说。 “我要你马上把这烂摊子收拾干净!”“但是爸爸说我们在玩完之后才需要清理，”里基说。 里奇的爸爸有更大的麻烦。

Ricky and his Mighty Robot played in their giant fort until their guests arrived. When Uncle Freddie and Auntie Ethel pulled into the driveway, Lucy and her Jurassic Jackrabbits jumped out of the truck and bounded into the backyard.

里基和他的强大机器人在他们的巨大堡垒里玩耍，直到他们的客人到来。 当弗雷迪叔叔和埃塞尔阿姨把车开进车道时，露西和她的侏罗纪长耳兔跳出卡车，跑进后院。

"Wow!" said Lucy. "I love your new castle." "It's not a castle," said Ricky. "It's a FORT!" "That's silly," said Lucy as she climbed up the ladder. "Who ever heard of a princess living in a fort? Come on up, Fudgie! Climb aboard, Cupcake! Welcome to our new castle, Waffles!" Lucy and her giant pets made themselves right at home.

“哇!”露茜说。“我喜欢你的新城堡。” “这不是城堡，”里基说。 “这是一个堡垒!”“这太愚蠢了。”露茜一边说，一边爬上梯子。 “谁听说过公主住在堡垒里?” 上来吧，福吉!快上船，小蛋糕!欢迎来到我们的新城堡，华夫饼!”露西和她的大宠物们就像在家里一样。

Cupcake rode on the roller coaster, Waffles swung on the swing ...

纸杯蛋糕坐过山车，华夫饼在秋千上荡秋千……

... and Fudgie jumped up and down on the trampoline. "What this place needs is some curtains," said Lucy. "And let's paint everything PINK!" "But said Ricky.

…福吉在蹦床上跳上跳下。 “这地方需要一些窗帘。”露茜说。 “让我们把所有的东西都漆成粉红色吧!”但是里基说。
