2 Cootie Corner

Cooty corner.

Cooty角落。

Stink pulled Judy into the way-back corner of the yard. He pointed to the tall weeds. "That's right where it is. Cootie Corner." "Cootie Corner?" asked Judy. "I just named it that, because it has cooties now. Big, fat spider cooties." Judy pawed through the tall grass. "There's nothing here, Stink." "Nothing big and hairy?" said Stink. "Nope."

臭臭把朱迪拉到院子后面的角落里。 他指着高高的杂草。 “就在那儿。 虱子。”“虱子角？”朱迪问。 “我给它起了这个名字，因为它现在有虱子了。 又大又肥的蜘蛛虱子。”朱迪在高高的草丛中摸索。 “这里什么也没有，臭臭。” “没有又大又毛茸茸的东西吗？”臭臭说。 “不。”

"How about something with a hundred pink toes?" said Stink. "Nope," said Judy. "Maybe it was just a leaf. Or a piece of bark or something. Besides, tarantulas don't live around here anyway." "Where do they live?" "I think they live in the desert. Like in South America. Or Texas." "This one lives in Virginia," said Stink. "It was right here. I swear." "I'm going back inside," said Judy. "But we didn't find my dollar-bill frog!" called Stink, running after her. Stink called his friend Sophie of the Elves. Sophie came right over. Stink led her straight to Cootie Corner. But the spider was not there. No tarantula. Nothing. So Sophie went home.

“有一百个粉红色脚趾的怎么样？”臭臭说。 “不，”朱迪说。“也许只是一片叶子。 或者是一块树皮什么的。 再说，狼蛛也不住在这附近。” “他们住在哪里？”“我想他们住在沙漠里。 比如在南美洲。或德州”。 “这只住在弗吉尼亚，”臭臭说。 “它就在这里。我发誓。” “我要回屋里去，”朱迪说。 “但是我们没有找到我的一美元钞票青蛙！”臭臭追着她喊道。 臭臭打电话给他的精灵朋友苏菲。 苏菲就过来了。臭味直接把她带到了虱子角。 但是蜘蛛不在那里。 没有狼蛛。什么都没有。于是苏菲回家了。

Stink called his friend Webster Gomez. Webster came right over. Stink led him straight to Cootie Corner. But the spider was not there. No tarantula. Nada. "It was here, honest," said Stink. "And guess what. It had pink toes." "I believe you," said Webster. "My cousin Marcos has a red-knee tarantula. He knows about all kinds of tarantulas. He told me all about pinktoe tarantulas. They live in trees instead of on the ground, and they're nocturnal. They come out at night. They are one of the hairiest of all tarantulas, and they live in South America."

臭臭打电话给他的朋友韦伯斯特·戈麦斯。 韦伯斯特马上就过来了。臭味直接把他引到了虱子角。 但是蜘蛛不在那里。 没有狼蛛。没有什么结果。“它就在这儿，真的。”臭臭说。 你猜怎么着？它有粉红色的脚趾。” “我相信你，”韦伯斯特说。 “我表弟马科斯有一只红膝狼蛛。 他了解各种狼蛛。 他跟我说了很多关于粉趾狼蛛的事。 它们生活在树上而不是地面上，它们是夜行动物。 他们晚上出来。它们是所有狼蛛中毛最多的一种，生活在南美洲。”

"So what's a South American pink-toe tarantula doing in my backyard?" "I bet it escaped!" said Webster. "Tarantulas are super fast. They're escape artists. One time my cousin was cleaning his tarantula's cage, and he left the screen at the top open just a crack. The tarantula got loose and was missing for a whole day." "How did they find it?" "They put out some crickets and it came out when it got hungry. His tarantula was just hiding— inside his sneaker!" "Phew. Luckily my sneakers are too stinky even for a tarantula," said Stink. "Did you hear about the tarantula that went to college?" asked Webster. "He liked to surf the web?" Stink asked.

“那么一只南美粉趾狼蛛在我的后院做什么呢？”“我敢打赌它逃走了！”韦伯斯特说。 “狼蛛的速度非常快。 他们是逃生艺术家。有一次，我的表弟在清理他的狼蛛笼子，他把顶部的屏幕只开了一条缝。 狼蛛挣脱了束缚，消失了整整一天。” “他们是怎么找到的？”“他们放了一些蟋蟀，它饿了就出来了。 他的狼蛛就藏在——他的球鞋里！”“唷。 幸运的是，我的运动鞋对狼蛛来说太臭了。” “你听说过那个上大学的狼蛛吗？”韦伯斯特问。 “他喜欢上网？”臭问道。
