Chapter 2 All Alone

第二章孤身一人

The coach pulled up outside the museum. "Wow!" said Billy. It was HUGE. "Everyone out of the coach," said Billy's teacher, Miss Potts. "I want you all to line up and hold hands." It's just like I thought. No one wants to be my partner.

马车在博物馆外停了下来。 “哇！”比利说。它是巨大的。 “大家都下车，”比利的老师波茨小姐说。 “我要你们都排好队，手拉手。” 和我想的一样。没人想做我的搭档。

"Now," said Miss Potts, once they were inside. "We're going to go round the museum in pairs and do a quiz." Does everyone have a partner? Billy put up his hand. I don't have a partner. Oh, you had better join in to make a three. Billy looked at the other children. They all looked very happy in their pairs.

“好了，”他们一进去，波茨小姐就说。 “我们要两人一组在博物馆里转一圈，做一个小测验。” 每个人都有伴侣吗？ 比利举起手来。我没有搭档。 哦，你最好一起来个3。 比利看着其他孩子。 他们一对对看起来都很开心。

He wanted to ask if he could join in, but he felt too shy. I think I'll do the quiz on my own.

他想问他是否可以加入，但他感到太害羞了。 我想我还是自己做测试吧。

Miss Potts handed out the quiz sheets. "There'll be a prize for the winning team," she said. "I really hope I win," thought Billy. "Then maybe people will notice me." MUSEUM OF EVERYTHING QUIZ QUESTIONS 1. How many fingers does a I. rex have? 2. What is an insect? 3. What is a mollusc? 4. How did the Ancient Eguptians make their mummies?

波茨小姐发了小考卷。 她说：“获胜的团队会得到奖励。” “我真的希望我能赢，”比利想。 “也许人们会注意到我。” 博物馆的一切测验问题1。 一个I有多少个手指？ 雷克斯?2. 什么是昆虫？ 3. 什么是软体动物？4. 古埃及人是如何制作木乃伊的？

The questions looked really hard. Billy decided it was time to ask the Mini Monsters for help. He opened up his bag. But to his horror he saw that his bag was... completely empty!

这些问题看起来真的很难。 比利决定是时候向小怪兽们求助了。 他打开包。但令他惊恐的是，他看到他的包是…… 完全空!
