6. Jump, Frog, Jump!

Chapter 6 Jump, Frog, Jump! We decided to play fetch with Goofy in the front yard. We threw lots of tennis balls. Sometimes Goofy brought them back. But mostly he just chewed them. He even got three balls in his mouth at once. He had a big, hairy clown smile. When a boy walked by with his dog, Goofy ran over to say hello.

第六章跳啊，青蛙，跳啊!我们决定和高飞在前院玩接球游戏。 我们扔了很多网球。 有时高飞会把它们带回来。 但大多数时候他只是咀嚼它们。 他甚至一次把三个球含在嘴里。 他有一个大大的、毛茸茸的小丑微笑。 当一个男孩带着他的狗走过时，高飞跑过去打招呼。

The dog was a little white poodle. He was wearing a silly doggie sweater with kitties on it. "Sit, Edward," the boy said to the poodle. Edward sat down. He did not move. He looked like a puffy statue. Goofy raced around Edward in crazy circles. He barked. And sniffed. And barked some more. He looked goofy. "I'm Martin," the boy said. "I just moved here a couple weeks ago. We used to live in Alaska."

这只狗是一只白色的小狮子狗。 他穿着一件愚蠢的狗狗毛衣，上面有小猫。 “坐下，爱德华，”男孩对贵宾犬说。 爱德华坐了下来。他没有动。 他看起来就像一尊浮肿的雕像。 高飞疯狂地围着爱德华转。 他咆哮道。和嗅。又叫了几声。 他看起来傻乎乎的。“我叫马丁，”男孩说。 “我几个星期前刚搬到这里。 我们以前住在阿拉斯加。”

"Did you live in one of those ice cube houses?" I asked. "He means an igloo," Emma said. Martin laughed. "Nope. Just a regular old house." "Yeah," Gus said. "We live in regular old houses, too." Martin pointed to my sweater. "Is that a poodle on your shoulder?" "We're still trying to figure that out," I said. "I really like animals," Martin said. "It's a cool sweater." I waited for him to laugh. But he didn't. "I'm Roscoe," I said at last. "And that's Gus and Emma." "Shake hands, Edward," Martin said.

“你住在那种冰块房子里吗?”我问。 “他说的是冰屋，”艾玛说。 马丁笑了。“不。就是一栋普通的老房子。” “是啊，”格斯说。“我们也住在普通的老房子里。” 马丁指着我的毛衣。 “你肩膀上的是贵宾犬吗?”“我们还在努力弄清楚，”我说。 “我真的很喜欢动物，”马丁说。 “这是件很酷的毛衣。”我等着他笑。 但他没有。“我是罗斯科，”我最后说。 “那是格斯和艾玛。” “握手吧，爱德华。”马丁说。

Edward held up his paw. Gus shook it. Emma shook it. I shook it. Goofy licked it. "Say hello, Edward," Martin said. "Arf-arf," Edward said. It was not exactly "hello," but you could tell what he meant. "Wow! Your dog is amazing," said Emma. "I was going to enter him in the Truly Terrific Trick Contest this weekend," Martin said. "But I have a tuba lesson." "Do you mean the contest at the street fair?" Emma asked. "I saw a poster for that. Kids and their dogs can enter. And the winner gets a trophy." "A trophy?" I asked. "Really?"

爱德华举起爪子。格斯摇了摇它。 艾玛摇了摇它。我摇了摇它。 高飞舔了舔它。“打个招呼，爱德华。”马丁说。 “啊——啊。”爱德华说。这不是确切的“你好”，但你可以看出他的意思。 “哇!你的狗太棒了，”艾玛说。 “我打算让他参加这个周末的‘真正了不起的把戏大赛’，”马丁说。 “但是我有一节大号课。” “你是说集市上的比赛吗?”艾玛问道。 “我看到了一张海报。孩子们和他们的狗可以进入。 获胜者会得到一个奖杯。” “奖杯?”我问。“真的吗?”

"Do they have a prize for Stupidest Pet Trick?" Gus asked. "I'll bet Goof could win that one!" Goofy lay on his back on the sidewalk. I think he was ignoring Gus. "What's your dog's name?" Martin asked. "Goofy," I said. It sounded kind of lame next to a name like Edward. Goofy wriggled on his back like a snake. His tongue was hanging out. "What's he doing?" Martin asked. "Itching," I said. "Edward is never itchy," Martin said. He reached into his backpack. "Watch this." Martin took out a book. "Just a regular book, right?" He showed it to me. "Now read it." "I've already read that," I said.

“他们有最愚蠢的宠物把戏奖吗?”格斯问道。 “我打赌笨蛋会赢!”高飞仰面躺在人行道上。 我觉得他忽略了格斯。 “你的狗叫什么名字?”马丁问道。 “高飞，”我说。跟爱德华这样的名字放在一起听起来有点逊。 高飞像蛇一样在背上扭动。 他的舌头伸出来了。 “他在干什么?”马丁问道。 “痒，”我说。“爱德华从不痒，”马丁说。 他把手伸进背包。 “看这个”。马丁拿出一本书。 “就是一本普通的书，对吧?”他给我看了。 “现在读吧。”“我已经读过了，”我说。

"Not you," Martin said. "Edward." I laughed. "Your dog cannot read!" "Why not?" Martin asked. "Because he is a dog," I said. I said it very slowly and clearly. Since apparently Martin was a little crazy. "Just watch," Martin said. He put the book on the ground. It was called Frog on a Log. "Open the book, Edward," said Martin. Edward put his little white poodle paw on the book. He pulled on the cover. The book flipped open.

“不是你，”马丁说。“爱德华”。 我笑了。“你的狗不识字!”“为什么不?”马丁问道。 “因为他是一条狗，”我说。 我说得又慢又清楚。 显然马丁有点疯了。 “等着瞧吧，”马丁说。 他把书放在地上。 它的名字叫《木头上的青蛙》。 “打开书，爱德华。”马丁说。 爱德华把他白色的小爪子放在书上。 他拉上了盖子。书翻开了。
