Snick was a space bug. He lived on a planet in the middle of the Milky Way. Every day, Snick took his ship into space to explore.

斯尼克是一只太空虫。他住在银河系中央的一颗行星上。 每天，斯尼克驾驶他的飞船进入太空探索。

One day, when he got back from a trip, two guards grabbed him. They put him in a shuttle and took him away. "What's happening?" asked Snick. "Where are you taking me?" "To see the Queen," said the guards.

一天，当他旅行回来时，两个警卫抓住了他。 他们把他放进穿梭机里带走了。 “出什么事了?”斯尼克问。 “你要带我去哪儿?”“去见女王。”卫兵说。

When Snick saw the Bug Queen, she was not happy. "What's in your bag?" asked the Queen. "A bone," said Snick. "Where did you get it?" she asked. "I found it on a new planet," Snick said. The Queen took the bone and asked, "What new planet?" "It's called Earth," said Snick. "It has water, mountains, ice, and deserts. It's not a good place for space bugs."

当斯尼克看到虫后时，她很不高兴。 “你包里装的是什么?”王后问。 “一根骨头。”“你从哪儿弄来的?”她问。 “我在一个新的星球上发现了它，”斯尼克说。 王后接过骨头问道:“什么新行星?”“它叫地球。”斯尼克说。 “它有水、山、冰和沙漠。 这对太空虫子来说不是一个好地方。”

The Queen looked at the bone. "What lives there?" she asked. "Earthlings," said Snick. The Queen sniffed the bone, and asked, "This bone belongs to the Earthlings?" Snick said, "Yes. I landed my ship beside some trees. The Earthlings were digging up old bones. They were very happy when they found one."

王后看了看那块骨头。 “那里住着什么?”她问。 “地球人。”斯尼克说。王后闻了闻骨头，问道:“这块骨头是地球人的吗?”斯尼克说:“是的。 我把船停在一些树旁。 地球人在挖老骨头。 当他们找到一只时，他们非常高兴。”

The Queen asked, "How did you get this one?" Snick said, "When it was night and the Earthlings were asleep, I grabbed it." "Not all of them were asleep," said the Queen. "One saw you." "No!" Snick said. "Yes!" said the Queen. "The Earthling came back with you."

王后问:“你是怎么得到这个的?”斯尼克说:“到了晚上，地球人都睡着了，我就抓住了它。” “不是所有的人都睡着了。”王后说。 “有人看见你了。”“不!”切说。 “是的!”王后说。“地球人和你一起回来了。”
