4 The Competition

Chapter 4 The Competition Mr. Roberts came storming over. "What were you doing, Billy?" You ruined the races!

罗伯茨先生怒气冲冲地走了过来。 “你在干什么，比利？”你毁了比赛！

"We'll have to talk about it later," his swimming teacher went on. The competition is about to start. Billy followed Mr. Roberts to the diving pool. He joined the other children on the benches. He could see his mum waving at him.

“我们以后再谈吧，”他的游泳老师接着说。 比赛就要开始了。 比利跟着罗伯茨先生来到跳水池。 他和其他孩子一起坐在长凳上。 他看见妈妈在向他招手。

One by one, all the other boys and girls jumped off the boards. Even the best, bravest swimmers didn't make it to the top one.

其他的男孩和女孩一个接一个地从木板上跳下来。 即使是最优秀、最勇敢的游泳运动员也没能到达顶峰。

At last it was Billy's turn. "I'll just hold my nose and shut my eyes," he told himself. And jump off the lowest board... Good luck, Billy! Go Billy!

最后轮到比利了。 “我就捏着鼻子闭上眼睛，”他对自己说。 从最低的板上跳下来…… 祝你好运，比利！去比利!

But as he walked past the high board he looked up. To his HORROR, there were the Mini Monsters. Climbing up the ladder. What are they doing UP THERE? They were safe under a towel!

但当他走过高台时，他抬起头来。 令他惊恐的是，那里有迷你怪物。 爬上梯子。他们在上面做什么？ 他们在毛巾下面是安全的！

The plan is working brilliantly. I can't believe the Mini Monsters are making me do this... Billy knew he had to get them back.

这个计划进行得很顺利。 我真不敢相信迷你怪物让我这么做…… 比利知道他必须把它们找回来。
