6. Brian Sees Broccoli

Chapter 6 Brian Sees Broccoli The kids watched Ms. Tery cross Main Street. "She's headed for Bridge Lane," Nate remarked. "Let's go before we lose her!" Brian said. "We can't lose her," Nate sniggered. "She's too tall to lose." "She's going into the supermarket!" Lucy said.

第6章布莱恩看见了花椰菜。 穿过主街。“她往桥巷去了，”内特说。 “在我们失去她之前，我们走吧！”布莱恩说。 “我们不能失去她，”内特窃笑着说。 “她太高了，输不掉。”“她要去超市了！”露西说。

Ms. Tery disappeared inside the store. The kids waited for a WALK signal, then hurried across Main Street. "I'll go in to see what she's doing," Brian said. "The rest of you stay out here." Brian slipped through the supermarket door. "I wonder if Ms. Tery plans to steal something from the store," Bradley said, "and leave a sneaker behind." "How cool would it be to have a teacher who goes to jail for shoplifting!" Nate said. "Maybe we'd get a vacation!" Two minutes later Brian came running through the door. "Did she see you?" Bradley asked. Brian shook his head. "Nope. She's in the checkout line," he said. "And guess what she bought?" "Candy?" Nate guessed. "Nope," Brian said. "Hamster food?" Lucy offered. "Nope." "Brian, tell us right now!" Bradley said.

特里在店里消失了。 孩子们等着“步行”信号，然后匆匆穿过主街。 “我要进去看看她在干什么，”布莱恩说。 “剩下的人留在外面。” 布莱恩溜进了超市的门。 “我想知道特里女士是否打算从店里偷点什么东西，”布拉德利说，“然后留下一只运动鞋。” “如果有个老师因为入店行窃而进监狱，那该有多酷啊！”内特说。 “也许我们可以去度假！”两分钟后，布莱恩跑进门来。 “她看见你了吗？”布拉德利问。 布莱恩摇了摇头。“不。 她在排队结账，”他说。 “猜猜她买了什么？”“糖果?”内特猜。 “不，”布莱恩说。“仓鼠食物?”露西。 “不。”“布莱恩，现在就告诉我们！”布拉德利说。

"She got a bunch of carrots and some broccoli!" Brian said, his eyes all excited. The others just looked at him. "Don't you get it?" Brian said. "She bought orange and green stuff, like all the sneakers!" "Like her orange skirt and green shirt," Lucy added. "And look what I found!" Brian whipped a paper from his pocket. He showed it to the others. The printing on the paper said: SWEET FEET COMING SOON!!!!! Below the words was a picture of green-and-orange sneakers. "There was a pile of these flyers inside the door," Brian said. "What does sweet feet mean?" Nate asked. No one had an answer. "Yikes, she's coming out!" Nate hissed. The kids raced behind a row of shopping carts. Ms. Tery strolled outside and took a right, heading up Bridge Lane. Her shopping bag was fat. Bradley wondered what was in there besides

“她买了一堆胡萝卜和一些西兰花！”布莱恩说，他的眼睛充满了兴奋。 其他人只是看着他。 “你还不明白吗？”布莱恩说。 “她买了橙色和绿色的东西，就像所有的运动鞋一样！”“比如她的橙色裙子和绿色衬衫，”露西补充道。 “看我找到了什么！”布莱恩从口袋里抽出一张纸。 他把它拿给其他人看。 纸上写着：甜蜜的脚即将到来！！！！！文字下面是一张绿色和橙色运动鞋的图片。 “门里面有一堆这样的传单，”布莱恩说。 “甜脚是什么意思？”内特问道。 没有人知道答案。“哎呀，她出来了！”内特发出嘘嘘的声音。 孩子们跑在一排购物车后面。 特里走出屋外，向右拐，朝桥巷（Bridge Lane）走去。 她的购物袋很胖。布拉德利想知道里面还有什么

carrots and broccoli. Bobby Arnold's basketball? Mr. Vooray's tennis racket? A hamster named Goldi? The kids ran behind Bill's Bikes. They watched Ms. Tery walk past Pheasant Lane and Owl Road. She turned left onto Thrush Court. The four kids crept from behind the bike shop. They darted toward some hedges on the corner of Bridge Lane and Thrush Court. Now they had a perfect view of their teacher marching up the street. Ms. Tery turned in at a small yellow house. She walked up the steps, unlocked the front door, and disappeared inside. "Now what?" Nate asked. "Want to peek in her windows?"

胡萝卜和西兰花。鲍比·阿诺德的篮球？ 沃雷先生的网球拍？ 一只叫戈尔迪的仓鼠？孩子们跟在比尔的自行车后面跑。 他们看着特里走过雉鸡巷和猫头鹰路。 她向左拐进了画眉苑。 四个孩子从自行车店后面蹑手蹑脚地走出来。 他们奔向桥巷和画眉院拐角处的一些树篱。 现在他们可以清楚地看到他们的老师在街上走来走去。 特里女士在一幢黄色的小房子前进了房。 她走上台阶，打开前门，消失在里面。 “现在什么?”内特问道。“想偷看一下她的窗户吗？”

"No, that would be trespassing," Bradley said. "Let's just walk past her house. If she sees us, we can always say we're going to visit someone." The kids ambled past the yellow house, looking straight ahead. Bradley stole a peek into the yard. He saw some bushes. He saw a garage with a basketball hoop nailed over the door. "Look," Nate whispered. He jerked his head toward the front porch. They all saw a basketball on a small bench by the door. "I wonder if that's Bobby Arnold's," Brian said. "Don't stop and gawk!" Bradley said. "Let's go back!" The kids turned around and walked away. They stopped under a giant tree that grew on the corner of Thrush Court and Bridge Lane. The thick limbs spread all the way to the other side of Bridge Lane. "If we climbed this tree, we could see right into Ms. Tery's backyard," Brian said. The others gazed up into the tree. "Oh no!" Bradley yelled. "There's another one!"

“不，那是非法侵入，”布拉德利说。 “我们从她家门前走过吧。 如果她看到我们，我们就可以说我们要去拜访某人。” 孩子们缓步走过黄色的房子，直视前方。 布拉德利偷偷地往院子里偷看了一眼。 他看到了一些灌木丛。他看到一个车库，门上钉着一个篮球箍。 “看，”内特低声说。他朝前廊猛一摇头。 他们都看到门边的小板凳上有一个篮球。 “我想知道那是不是鲍比·阿诺德的，”布莱恩说。 “别停下来呆呆地呆着！”布拉德利说。 “我们回去吧！”孩子们转身走开了。 他们在画眉庭和桥巷拐角处的一棵大树下停了下来。 粗壮的树枝一直伸展到桥巷的另一边。 “如果我们爬上这棵树，我们就能看到她的内部。 特里的后院，”布莱恩说。 其他人抬头望着那棵树。 “哦,不!”布拉德利喊道。“还有一个！”

Hanging from a limb ten feet over their heads was a pair of sneakers. "Green-and-orange sneakers," Nate said. "Looks like the sneaker maniac is following us!"

在他们头顶上方十英尺的树枝上挂着一双运动鞋。 “绿橙相间的运动鞋，”内特说。 “看起来那个运动鞋狂在跟踪我们！”
