5 The Guinea Pig Whisperer

The GuineaPig Whisperer

豚鼠语者

Beep, beep! Beep, beep, beep! Mrs. B. drove like crazy around the parking lot, honking the horn to get people's attention. Then she parked under a big shade tree right next to a busy coffee shop. "Say hello to Squeals on Wheels!" called Mrs. Birdwistle. "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Great Guinea Pig Giveaway! Adopt a guinea pig," Stink called. "Or two. Or three. How about four fur balls?" "I hope all one hundred and one guinea pigs get adopted soon," said Webster. "Except for you, Astro," said Stink, whispering to his favorite guinea pig. Kids and parents crowded into the camper. "Who wants to pet a guinea pig?" asked Stink. "Me! Me! Me!" yelled all the kids.

哔哔,哔哔!哔，哔，哔！B太太。 在停车场疯狂地开车，按喇叭以引起人们的注意。 然后，她把车停在一棵大树荫下，旁边是一家繁忙的咖啡店。 “向车轮上的尖叫问好！”伯德威斯尔太太喊道。 “女士们先生们，伟大的天竺鼠赠品！”领养一只豚鼠吧。”臭臭喊道。 ”或两个。或三个。四个皮球怎么样？”韦伯斯特说：“我希望所有101只豚鼠都能尽快被收养。 “除了你，阿斯特罗，”臭臭对他最喜欢的豚鼠耳语道。 孩子们和家长们挤进了露营车。 “谁想抚摸一只豚鼠？”臭臭问。 “我!我!我！”所有的孩子都喊道。

"Okay, Guinea Pigs 101: Never grab a guinea pig by the fur on its neck," said Stink, "or you'll scare it. Hold a piggy from underneath, like this." "Brush your guinea pig every day," said Sophie.

“好了，豚鼠入门课：永远不要抓豚鼠脖子上的毛，”臭臭说，“否则你会吓到它的。 像这样从下面抓一只小猪。” “每天给你的豚鼠刷牙。”苏菲说。

"And feed them fresh fruits and veggies," said Webster, "you know, like parsley and cherry tomatoes." "Tug of war!" said Stink as Snickers and Oreo raced to munch a bunch of parsley Webster tossed into their cage. Two girls wearing ponytails and matching headbands asked, "Do you have any twin guinea pigs? We like everything twins." "We have Fuzzy and Wuzzy!" Sophie showed them two brown-and-white pups with curly ears. Fuzzy and Wuzzy wiggled their fluffy white butts. "They look like they're wearing tutus," said one twin. "We'll take them!" said the other. "Only ninety-nine more to go!" said Sophie. A tall lady with black-and-white hair and red shoes chose a white-crested guinea pig. "That lady looked just like Cruella De Vil," said Stink.

韦伯斯特说：“喂它们新鲜的水果和蔬菜，比如欧芹和圣女果。” “拔河比赛！”臭臭说，士力架和奥利奥跑过去大嚼韦伯斯特扔进笼子里的一束欧芹。 两个扎着马尾辫、戴着相称发带的女孩问：“你们有双胞胎豚鼠吗？” 我们什么都喜欢双胞胎。” “我们有毛茸茸的和软软的！”索菲给他们看了两只棕色和白色的小狗，它们的耳朵是卷曲的。 毛茸茸的和毛茸茸的扭动着它们毛茸茸的白屁股。 “他们看起来就像穿着芭蕾舞裙，”双胞胎中的一个说。 “我们要带走他们！”另一个说。 “还差九十九个呢！”索菲说。 一位黑白头发、穿红鞋的高个女士选择了一只白冠豚鼠。 “那位女士看起来就像库伊拉·德维尔。”臭臭说。

"And the guinea pig she picked looked just like her," said Webster. "At least she wasn't wearing a fur coat," said Sophie. "Take home a guinea pig," yelled Stink. "Take two. Take three. Guinea pigs are happier with a friend!" "We'll take five," said Parker, a kid Stink knew from Virginia Dare School. He was with his little brother, Cody. "Score!" said Stink, scooping up the guinea pigs they picked out. They chose Butterscotch, Blackberry, Hash Brown, Jelly Bean, and... Astro!

韦伯斯特说：“她挑选的豚鼠和她长得很像。” “至少她没有穿皮大衣。”苏菲说。 “带一只豚鼠回家，”臭小子喊道。 “把两个。三。豚鼠和朋友在一起更快乐！”“我们要五个，”帕克说，他是臭臭在弗吉尼亚冒险学校认识的一个孩子。 他和他弟弟科迪在一起。 “得分！”臭臭说着，把他们挑出来的豚鼠捞了起来。 他们选择了奶油糖果、黑莓、薯饼、果冻豆和…… 阿斯特罗!

"Sorry. You can't have that one," said Stink. "Why not?" asked Parker. "You just can't," Stink said. "Is he yours?" "Not exactly," said Stink. "Well, whose is he?" "Nobody's, but— look, there are ninety-nine million guinea pigs here. Midnight has a black patch over one eye like a pirate. Shredded Wheat has tons of hair. And Snowball's super-friendly." Cody started to cry. He wanted Astro and only Astro. No way did Stink want to give up Astro. But he knew the time would come when he'd have to, and he didn't want to blow his chance to give away FIVE guinea pigs. Stink took a deep breath. "You'll be okay, boy," he whispered into Astro's ear. "I'll come visit you, I promise." Stink handed him over.

“对不起。你不能吃那个。”臭臭说。 “为什么不呢？”帕克问。“你就是不能，”臭鼬说。 “他是你的吗？”“不完全是，”臭臭说。 “那么，他是谁的呢？”“没有，但是——看，这里有9900万只豚鼠。 午夜的一只眼睛上有一块像海盗一样的黑眼罩。 碎小麦有大量的毛发。 而且斯诺鲍非常友好。” 科迪哭了起来。他只想要阿斯特罗。 臭臭绝对不想放弃阿斯特罗。 但他知道，当他不得不这么做的时候，总有一天他会这么做的，他不想失去送出5只豚鼠的机会。 臭臭深深地吸了一口气。“你会没事的，孩子。”他对阿斯特罗耳语道。 “我会来看你的，我保证。” 臭臭把他交出去了。
