9. Thanksgiving Friends

Chapter 9 Thanksgiving Friends Everyone got a chance to go inside the space shuttle. Finally, the kids began to yawn. "Okay, it's time to call it a night," Bradley's father said. "Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!" Bradley, Brian, Nate, and Lucy went back to the twins' room. Within minutes, they were all asleep. On Thanksgiving morning, a loud barking woke Bradley. He crawled over Nate's sleeping bag and looked down at the ground. On the other side of

每个人都有机会进入航天飞机内部。 最后，孩子们开始打呵欠。 “好了，今晚到此为止，”布拉德利的父亲说。 “大家感恩节快乐！”布拉德利、布莱恩、内特和露西回到双胞胎的房间。 几分钟后，他们都睡着了。 感恩节的早晨，一声响亮的狗叫声惊醒了布拉德利。 他爬过内特的睡袋，低头看着地面。 在…的另一边

the fence, Daisy was barking. Pal was sitting on his side of the fence, barking right back! Brian woke up and looked out the window. Mr. Pinto and Mr. Sargent were standing by the fence, talking. Mr. Sargent was holding his chain saw. Nate sat up. "What's going on?" he asked. "My dad and Mr. Sargent are out there talking," Bradley said. Lucy's head popped up. She rested her chin on the sill and looked down. Suddenly Mr. Sargent started the chain saw. He began cutting the fence. In two minutes, there was a big space where a section of the fence had fallen to the ground. Pal raced into the Sargents' yard. He and Daisy began chasing each other. "Oh my gosh, there's a big hole in the fence!" Bradley said. "Charlie and Maddy are already playing in the shuttle!" Brian said. The four kids ran downstairs and dashed outside. Charlie and Maddy waved to them. "Come on up!" they yelled.

篱笆边，黛西在叫。 那哥们就坐在他那一边的篱笆上，冲着他叫！布莱恩醒了，朝窗外望去。 平托先生和萨金特先生站在篱笆旁边谈话。 萨金特先生拿着他的链锯。 内特坐了起来。“发生了什么事？”他问。 “我爸爸和萨金特先生在外面谈话，”布拉德利说。 露西抬起头来。她把下巴搁在窗台上，往下看。 突然，萨金特先生开动了链锯。 他开始剪篱笆。 两分钟后，一段篱笆倒在地上，出现了一个很大的空间。 帕尔冲进萨金斯家的院子。 他和黛西开始互相追逐。 “哦，我的天哪，篱笆上有一个大洞！”布拉德利说。 “查理和玛蒂已经在玩穿梭机了！”布莱恩说。 四个孩子跑下楼，冲到外面。 查理和玛蒂向他们挥手。 “上来吧！”他们喊道。

The cutout section of fence was lying on the grass. Mr. Sargent was measuring it with his shiny tape. "I can make a nifty gate out of this wood," he said. "I think I've got some hinges in the barn," Bradley's father said. "What're you doing, Dad?" Bradley asked his father. "Our new neighbor decided there should be a gate here," Mr. Pinto said. Mr. Sargent smiled. "Our grandkids will be leaving soon, and we want you kids to play in the space shuttle while they're gone," he said. "The gate will always be unlocked for you." Mrs. Sargent poked her head out the back door. "What's all the racket?" she asked. "Grandpa cut part of the fence down!" Charlie said. "Oh, what a marvelous idea!" Mrs. Sargent said. "Now it will be so much easier to get to know our new friends!" Bradley's mother opened her back door. "Everyone come over for juice and muffins!" she called across the yard.

篱笆的剪断部分躺在草地上。 萨金特先生正在用闪亮的卷尺测量它。 “我可以用这些木头做一个漂亮的门，”他说。 “我想谷仓里有一些铰链，”布拉德利的父亲说。 “你在干什么，爸爸？”布拉德利问他的父亲。 “我们的新邻居决定在这里建一扇门，”平托说。 萨金特先生笑了。“我们的孙子们很快就要离开了，我们希望你们这些孩子在他们离开的时候能在航天飞机上玩耍，”他说。 “大门永远为你敞开。” 萨金特太太从后门探出头来。 “怎么这么吵？”她问。 “爷爷把一部分篱笆砍倒了！”查理说。 “哦，多棒的主意！”萨金特太太说。 “现在了解我们的新朋友就容易多了！”布拉德利的妈妈打开了后门。 “大家都过来喝果汁和松饼！”她隔着院子喊道。

Charlie and Maddy came down, and they all walked through the hole where the fence once stood.

查理和玛蒂走了下来，他们都穿过了曾经有栅栏的那个洞。

Bradley whispered to his mother, "Mom, can we invite everyone over for Thanksgiving dinner?" His mother smiled. "I already asked them," she whispered back. "Now I just have to figure out where to get a bigger table!"

布拉德利低声对妈妈说：“妈妈，我们能邀请大家来吃感恩节晚餐吗？”妈妈笑了。 “我已经问过他们了，”她小声回答。 “现在我只需要想办法去哪里弄一张更大的桌子！”
