1 Welcome to Time-Out

Chapter 1 Welcome to Time-Out Hey, friend! Over here, in the time-out corner. It's me, Roscoe. I'm pretty sure I only have to stay in time-out for about three more minutes. That should be plenty of time for me to tell you how I ended up here. Oops. Mom checked the clock. Turns out I have seven more minutes. I thought seven was supposed to be a lucky number! My teacher says when you think a number is lucky, that's called a superstition. She says there's no such thing as a lucky number. And that seven is just like eight and forty-seven and a gazillion. A plain, old, everyday number.

第1章欢迎来到暂停时间嘿，朋友!在这里，在暂停的角落里。 是我，罗斯科。我很确定我只需要再多待三分钟。 我应该有足够的时间告诉你我是怎么到这里来的。 哦。妈妈看了看钟。 结果我还有七分钟。 我还以为7是个幸运数字呢!我的老师说，当你认为一个数字是幸运的，那就叫做迷信。 她说根本就没有什么幸运数字。 这个7就像8又47又1亿。 一个普通的、古老的、日常的数字。

I used to think lots of things were lucky. Things like numbers and four-leaf clovers and horseshoes. I used to think lots of things were unlucky, too. That's sort of how I ended up in time-out. One thing led to another, and before I knew it, I was being chased down the street by a humongous pumpkin. And let me tell you, those guys can MOVE. You've been chased by a giant piece of food before, haven't you? No? How about normal-size food? Not even a little bitty grape? Oh. I guess being chased by food doesn't come up all that often. But I can explain everything. Have you got seven minutes to spare?

我曾经认为很多事情都是幸运的。 比如数字，四叶草和马蹄铁。 我过去也认为很多事情都是不吉利的。 这就是我被罚暂停的原因。 一件事接一件事，在我反应过来之前，我在街上被一个巨大的南瓜追赶着。 让我告诉你，这些家伙可以移动。 你以前被一大块食物追过，不是吗? 没有?正常大小的食物怎么样? 连一小颗葡萄都没有? 哦。我想被食物追赶的情况并不经常发生。 但我可以解释一切。 你有七分钟的空闲时间吗?
