Chapter 4

Chapter 4 The little blue bird took a deep breath. "I have a really big problem." Dirt and Sugar exchanged glances. "What is it, Weird Blue Chicken?" asked Sugar. "What seems to be your problem?" "It's a bird," answered the little bird. "What does he look like?" asked Dirt. "He's six feet tall," answered the bird. "Are you sure about that?" asked Sugar. "Yes, I'm sure," answered the bird. "Birds don't come in that size," said Sugar. "You must have had a bad dream. I can't help you if your problem is a big bird bad dream." Dirt looked Weird Blue Chicken up and down. "How tall are you?" she asked. "I'm about four feet tall," answered the little bird.

第四章小蓝鸟深吸了一口气。 “我真的有一个大问题。” 污垢和糖交换了一下眼色。 “这是什么，奇怪的蓝鸡？”糖问道。 “你有什么问题吗？”“是一只鸟，”小鸟回答。 “他长什么样？”泥土问。 “他有六英尺高，”小鸟回答。 “你确定吗？”糖问道。 “是的，我肯定。”小鸟回答。 “鸟没有那么大，”糖糖说。 “你一定做了一个噩梦。 如果你的问题是一个大鸟的噩梦，我帮不了你。” 脏兮兮的蓝鸡上下看起来怪怪的。 “你有多高？”她问。 “我大约四英尺高，”小鸟回答。

"Ah, I see," said Dirt kindly. "I think you are confusing inches with feet. It's a common mistake. You are about four inches tall." The little bird shrugged. Sugar rolled her eyes. "What else can you tell me about this bird?" asked Dirt. "He's yellow," answered the bird. "Can you be more specific, ma'am?" asked Dirt. "For example, I'm kind of a canary yellow. Sugar is kind of a dandelion yellow. Let me get my crayon box..."

“啊，我明白了。”泥土和蔼地说。 “我想你把英寸和英尺搞混了。 这是一个常见的错误。你大约有四英寸高。” 小鸟耸耸肩。甜甜翻了个白眼。 “关于这只鸟，你还能告诉我什么？”泥土问。 “他是黄色的，”小鸟回答。 “你能说得更具体一点吗，夫人？” “例如，我是淡黄色的。 糖有点像蒲公英黄色。 让我拿我的蜡笔盒……”

"Pipe down," said Sugar. "Let the chicken talk." The little bird said nothing. "Back to this other bird," said Sugar. Her voice was serious. "You said he was in some kind of trouble." "No" said the little bird. "He is the trouble." "That's odd," said Sugar. "Birds don't usually cause trouble." "Actually, birds cause trouble all the time," said Dirt. "Pipe down!" said Sugar. "Let the chicken talk." The little bird still said nothing.

“安静点，”糖说。“让鸡说话吧。” 小鸟什么也没说。 “回到另一只鸟身上，”糖说。 她的声音很严肃。“你说他遇到了什么麻烦。” “不，”小鸟说。 “他就是麻烦。”“真奇怪，”糖说。 “鸟通常不会制造麻烦。” “事实上，鸟儿一直在制造麻烦。” “安静点！”糖说。“让鸡说话吧。” 小鸟还是什么也没说。

"What exactly do you think this bird did?" asked Dirt, using her kindest voice. "He kidnapped my house." "That is a very serious accusation, Weird Blue Chicken!" said Sugar. "What kind of proof do you have?" "He's sitting in my house, and he won't leave," answered the little bird. "House-kidnapping is kind of an awkward phrase," said Dirt. "I think we should call it a house-napping." "Pipe down!" said Sugar. "Let the chicken talk." The little bird said nothing. "What makes you so sure it's a bird?" asked Sugar. "I know a bird when I see one," said the little bird.

“你认为这只鸟到底做了什么？”泥土用她最亲切的声音问道。 “他绑架了我的房子。”“这是一个非常严重的指控，奇怪的蓝鸡！”糖说。 “你有什么证据？”“他坐在我的房子里，他不愿离开，”小鸟回答说。 “绑架房子是个很别扭的说法。”泥土说。 “我想我们应该把这叫做在家里打盹儿。” “安静点！”糖说。“让鸡说话吧。” 小鸟什么也没说。 “你凭什么这么肯定那是只鸟？”糖问道。 “我一看到鸟就知道是鸟，”小鸟说。
