大卫威廉姆斯 · 7 The World Worst Pets
Bad BUNNY IF YOU HAD ONE of the world's worst owners, you might become one of the world's worst pets. That was the fate of a fluffy white rabbit called Houdini. She was named after the greatest magician of all time, Harry Houdini. Unfortunately, Houdini belonged to the direst
如果你有一个世界上最糟糕的主人,你可能会成为世界上最糟糕的宠物之一。 这就是一只名叫胡迪尼的毛茸茸的白兔的命运。 她以有史以来最伟大的魔术师哈利·胡迪尼的名字命名。 不幸的是,胡迪尼属于最可怕的
magician of all time, the Great Fiasco (although his real name was Colin). The Great Fiasco was a shambles of a man, who looked as if he'd been dragged through a hedge backwards. He had a long, straggly moustache and wore a shiny purple suit, which gave him the appearance of a star in show business. Underneath the suit, he wore an old string vest, which rather shattered the illusion. Like most children's entertainers, the Great Fiasco HATED children. The magician could be guaranteed to ruin any kid's party. By the end of every Fiasco performance, the birthday boy or girl would be in floods of tears, as the Great Fiasco would: ...slurp up all the jelly and ice cream. GURGLE!
史上最伟大的魔术师,大惨败(尽管他的真名是科林)。 “大惨败”是一副狼狈不堪的样子,看上去就像是被人从树篱里拖出来的。 他留着又长又乱的小胡子,穿着一件闪亮的紫色西装,这使他看起来像是娱乐圈的明星。 在西装下面,他穿了一件旧背心,这打破了他的错觉。 像大多数儿童艺人一样,大惨败讨厌孩子。 魔术师肯定会毁了任何孩子的派对。 每次Fiasco表演结束时,过生日的男孩或女孩都会泪流满面,就像伟大的Fiasco一样:……把果冻和冰淇淋都吃完。 咯咯!
...snatch one of the grown-ups' watches to perform a disappearing trick and then never make it reappear... SWIPE! ...scratch his bottom with his magic wand, then tap children on the head with it... SCRATCH! ...hand the birthday boy or girl too many of his special gas-filled balloons so they would fly away... WHOOSH! ...perform the famous magic trick of sawing a person in half- and then completely forget how to make it magic... "ARGH!"
…抢走大人的手表表演一个消失的把戏,然后再也不会让它出现…… 刷卡!…用他的魔杖挠他的屁股,然后用它轻拍孩子们的头…… 划痕!…给过生日的男孩或女孩很多他特制的充气气球,这样他们就会飞走…… 嗖!…表演著名的把人锯成两半的魔术——然后完全忘记如何使它变魔术…… “啊!”
...sneeze while shuffling a pack of cards, then ask a child "to pick a card" when every single one was coated in snot... "ATISHOO!" ...and, worst of all, Fiasco would YANK Houdini out of his top hat... "YELP!" For the Great Fiasco, the rabbit was just another prop. After racing home from that day's party on his purple motorcycle with Houdini in the sidecar, he would shove the rabbit back into her battered old hutch. The hutch was dark, cold and damp, having been wedged under the Great Fiasco's caravan for years. The Great Fiasco would ram a mouldy old carrot through the wire for the rabbit's dinner. "There you go, you mangy old beast!" he'd shout. "Now, I don't want you waking me up in the middle of the night with your yelping! I don't care if the foxes come back! The Great Fiasco needs his beauty sleep!"
…一边洗牌一边打喷嚏,然后让一个孩子“挑一张牌”,因为每张牌都沾满了鼻涕…… “阿嚏!”…最糟糕的是,菲亚斯科会把胡迪尼从他的大礼帽里拽出来…… “YELP !”对于大惨败来说,兔子只是另一个道具。 那天的派对结束后,他骑着紫色的摩托车,胡迪尼坐在挎斗里,他会把兔子推回她破旧的旧笼子里。 厨房又黑又冷又潮湿,已经被塞在大费周旋的商队下面好多年了。 大惨败会把一根发霉的老胡萝卜塞进铁丝里,作为兔子的晚餐。 “你又来了,你这可恶的老畜生!” “现在,我不想让你在半夜用你的叫声把我吵醒!”我才不管狐狸会不会回来呢!大败将需要睡个美容觉!”
The foxes roamed the caravan park every single night. Foxes love nothing more than a nice juicy rabbit. But, paw as they might at the rabbit's cage, they just couldn't break in. Houdini would cower at the back, wishing she could make herself disappear. Our story begins one Saturday afternoon, when the Great Fiasco had been booked to perform at another child's birthday party. Despite how awful he was, the magician did get work, as he was the cheapest children's entertainer in town. As was his way, Fiasco woke up hideously late and in a vile temper. The magician had
狐狸每天晚上都在大篷车公园里游荡。 狐狸最喜欢肥美多汁的兔子了。 但是,尽管他们用爪子抓着兔子的笼子,他们就是打不开。 胡迪尼畏缩在后面,希望她能让自己消失。 我们的故事开始于一个星期六的下午,当时“大惨败”乐队预定在另一个孩子的生日派对上表演。 尽管他有多糟糕,魔术师还是找到了工作,因为他是镇上最廉价的儿童艺人。 菲亚斯科总是醒得很晚,而且脾气很坏。 魔术师有
