3 Catch a Falling Star

CHAPTER 3 CATCH A FALLING STAR It's the 9th inning. I'm standing in right field in a big ballpark. I hear the crack of the bat. I look up into the sky. No sun—it's a night game. The sky is full of stars—thousands of stars. Suddenly, one begins to fall. I have to catch it or we'll lose the game. It's falling fast. But a star has a long way to fall. OH, NO!

第三章抓住流星现在是第九局。 我站在一个大棒球场的右外场。 我听到球棒的噼啪声。 我仰望天空。没有太阳，这是一个夜间游戏。 天空布满了星星——成千上万颗星星。 突然，一个人开始跌倒。 我必须抓住它，否则我们会输掉比赛。 它下落得很快。但一颗星要坠落还有很长的路要走。 哦,不!

Should I run forward? Should I run back? It looks like it's going to fall outside of the stadium. I run into the street. It's falling out of town. I run down the road. It's going to fall in the ocean. I get into a boat and row after it. But I can't row fast enough. The star splashes down in the water. Eight sharks in baseball caps surround my boat and shout out, "You lost the game!"

我应该向前跑吗？我应该跑回去吗？ 看起来它要掉到球场外面了。 我跑到街上。它要出城了。 我沿着路跑。它会掉到海里。 我上了船，跟着它划。 但是我划得不够快。 星星溅落在水中。 八只戴着棒球帽的鲨鱼围着我的船大喊：“你输了！”

GADS! WAY TO GO. Go HOME. THANKS, HUBIE. YOU STINK!

迦得!干得好。回家了。谢谢,胡比-。 你臭!

I wake up. My new mitt is still on the dresser. I inhale its aroma for reassurance... cowlogne... I'm ready. This season things are going to be different. SMELLS GREAT!

我醒了。我的新手套还在梳妆台上。 我吸入它的香气来安慰自己…… cowlogne……我准备好了。这个赛季的情况将会有所不同。 闻起来太好了!
