4 The Flying Potato

Chapter 4 The Flying Potato Billy stood in the lunch queue. It had been the longest morning ever. He'd left Peep and Gloop in his pencil case in the classroom. But how was he going to find the others?

比利站在排队买午饭的队伍里。 这是有史以来最漫长的一个早晨。 他把皮比和格卢普放在教室的铅笔盒里。 但他要怎么找到其他人呢？

Then he heard a small parp, followed by a TERRIBLE smell. Only one creature in the world could smell that bad... Trumpet?

接着，他听到一声轻微的啪啪声，接着是一股难闻的气味。 世界上只有一种生物闻起来这么难闻…… 小号?

"There he is!" Billy thought with relief. "I'll just ask for that potato. I'm so close now..." TOO LATE. Basil Brown was reaching across for the plate... Now he had Trumpet on his tray. If Billy didn't do something, Basil was going to EAT Trumpet.

“他在那儿！”比利如释重负地想。 “我要那个土豆。 我现在离成功很近了……”太迟了。 巴兹尔·布朗伸手去拿盘子…… 现在他的盘子里有了喇叭。 如果比利不做点什么，巴兹尔就要吃喇叭了。

"Actually," said Billy, in a small voice. "I wouldn't eat that potato, if I were you. I saw a... um... er... spider on it." "I don't believe you," Basil said. "You're acting really weird today." Then, to Billy's HORROR, Basil glanced down at his plate...

“事实上，”比利低声说。 “如果我是你，我就不吃那个土豆。 我看到了一个……嗯…呃…蜘蛛在上面。” “我不相信你，”巴兹尔说。 “你今天表现得很奇怪。” 然后，令比利惊恐的是，巴兹尔瞥了一眼他的盘子……

As Basil reached for the lettuce leaf to look for the spider, Billy grabbed the plate. Trumper... whirled through the air and landed... SPLOSH ...in the baked beans. The potato collided... SPLAT ...with Basil's face.

巴兹尔伸手去拿莴苣叶找蜘蛛时，比利抓起盘子。 喇叭……在空中旋转着降落…… 金钱……在烤豆里。 土豆撞在了一起……长条木板……巴兹尔的脸。

"Help!" cried Trumpet, his voice a small squeak. He tried to swim, but the sauce was too sticky. He slowly, slowly began to SINK into the beans... The next moment, Trumpet disappeared from view.

“救命！”喇叭叫道，他的声音有点刺耳。 他想游泳，但酱汁太黏了。 他慢慢地、慢慢地开始陷进豆子里…… 下一刻，喇叭从视野中消失了。
