9 It’s Curtains

CHAPTER 9 IT'S CURTAINS HELP That night, I have a dream. Well, more like a nightmare.

第九章窗帘的帮助那天晚上，我做了一个梦。 更像是一场噩梦。

There's a bright stage and millions of people are sitting out in the audience. I'm standing in the middle of the stage. I can hear them all breathing. I'm wearing a purple tuxedo with a silver bow tie.

有一个明亮的舞台，数百万人坐在外面的观众中。 我正站在舞台中央。 我能听到他们的呼吸。 我穿着紫色的燕尾服，打着银色的领结。

I take off my pink top hat. I announce that I will pull a live rabbit out of my top hat. There's a slow drumroll as I reach into, the hat and pull out a mouse. Everyone shouts, "That's not a, rabbit!"

我摘下粉红色的礼帽。 我宣布，我将从我的大礼帽里拉出一只活兔子。 当我把手伸进帽子里拿出一只老鼠时，响起了一阵缓慢的鼓声。 每个人都喊道：“那不是一只兔子！”

I reach back in the hat and pull out a cat. The audience yells, "That's not a rabbit, either!" BOO

我把手伸进帽子里，拿出一只猫。 观众喊道：“那也不是兔子！”嘘

I keep on trying the trick until the stage looks like Noah's Ark. Everything from aardvarks to zebras—but not one rabbit. Everyone boos and then throws carrots at me. And finally, the curtain comes down. BOO BOO BOO BOO

我一直在试这个把戏，直到舞台看起来像诺亚方舟。 从食蚁兽到斑马，应有尽有——但没有一只兔子。 每个人都嘘我，然后朝我扔胡萝卜。 最后，幕布落下。 Boo Boo Boo Boo
