9 All the Way Home

All the Way Home

一路回家

When Stink got home, he gave his family a souvenir— a box of saltwater taffy. And he told Mom, Dad, and Judy every last little thing about his trip, everything from the Town of Ham to the giant bubble-bath fountain to Mt. Trashmore to the guinea pig amusement park. Mom could not stop laughing over the coffee caper in the camper. Judy tried to laugh, but her teeth were stuck together from all the saltwater taffy. "I wish I got Judy taffy a long time ago!" Stink joked. "That's the longest I ever got to talk in my whole life without her butting in." As long as Stink's family was laughing and telling stories, Stink missed Astro and the other guinea pigs a little bit less.

当臭臭回到家时，他给了家人一个纪念品——一盒盐水太妃糖。 他把这次旅行的每一件小事都告诉了妈妈、爸爸和朱迪，从火腿镇到巨大的泡泡浴喷泉，再到山。 把垃圾运到豚鼠游乐园。 妈妈在露营车里喝咖啡时笑个不停。 朱迪想笑，但她的牙齿被盐水太妃糖粘在一起了。 “我希望我很久以前就有朱迪太妃糖了！”臭开玩笑说。 “这是我一生中最长的一次没有她插嘴的谈话。” 只要臭臭的家人还在笑着讲故事，臭臭就不会那么想念阿斯特罗和其他豚鼠了。

Mouse came into the kitchen, dragging Stink's backpack along, a strap held between her teeth. "Hey, Mouser!" said Stink. "Yes, that's my backpack. Yes, I'm home now."

老鼠走进厨房，拖着臭臭的背包，嘴里叼着一条带子。 “嘿，老鼠！”臭臭说。 “是的，那是我的背包。是的，我现在回家了。”

"I can't believe it," said Judy. "I can't believe she actually came out from under my bed. She's been moping there the whole time you were gone, like she was in a bad mood or something." "Did you miss me, girl?" asked Stink, tugging on his backpack. But Mouse would not give it up. "Weird," said Judy. "Strange," said Mom. "I need my backpack, Mouse," said Stink. "You're going to have to give it back sooner or later." "Yeah, sooner," said Judy. "Because we have school tomorrow and I bet you didn't do your homework yet!" "Stink, is that true?" asked Dad. "Well... see..." said Stink. Just then, Mouse made a funny sound. Everybody got quiet. The funny sound sounded like a purr, but the purr wasn't coming from Mouse. No, the funny sound was coming from Stink's backpack.

“我真不敢相信，”朱迪说。 “我不敢相信她真的从我床底下出来了。 你不在的时候她一直闷闷不乐，好像心情不好什么的。” “你想我吗，女孩？”臭臭问，拽着他的背包。 但是老鼠不愿放弃。 “真奇怪，”朱迪说。“真奇怪，”妈妈说。 “我需要我的背包，老鼠，”臭鼬说。 “你迟早得把它还给我。” “是的，快一点，”朱迪说。 “因为我们明天还要上学，我敢打赌你还没做作业！”“臭，是真的吗？”爸爸问。 “嗯……你看……”臭臭说。 就在这时，老鼠发出了一种奇怪的声音。 大家都安静了。这有趣的声音听起来像是咕噜声，但咕噜声不是老鼠发出的。 不，奇怪的声音是从臭臭的背包里发出的。

There was only one thing Stink knew that purred like a cat but wasn't a cat. He reached into his backpack and scooped out a tiny ball of fur, the cutest hair ball he'd ever seen. "Astro!" said Stink, nuzzling noses with his favorite fur ball. "I don't get it— you're supposed to be in Virginia Beach." Stink sat on the floor,

臭臭只知道一件事，它像猫一样咕噜咕噜叫，但又不是猫。 他把手伸进背包里，拿出一团毛，这是他见过的最可爱的毛球。 “阿斯特罗！”臭臭说，用他最喜欢的毛球蹭鼻子。 “我不明白——你应该在弗吉尼亚海滩。” 臭气坐在地板上，

held Astro in his lap, and scratched him under the chin. "Stink! You kept him and brought him back?" Judy asked. "Stink, I thought we agreed—" Dad started. "I didn't keep him! Honest! I didn't even know he was in there. He must have stowed away in my backpack for the whole ride home." "One cat plus one guinea pig equals Trouble with a capital T," said Judy. Just then, Mouse crawled onto Stink's lap. "Mouse, no!" shouted Stink. But Mouse only licked Astro from top to bottom, just as if the guinea pig were a tiny kitten. Dad looked at Mom. Mom looked at Dad. And before Stink could even ask, they both nodded. As in Y-E-S, he could keep Astro! Ooh-la-la. Stink was in pig heaven. Guinea pig heaven, that is. Astro-nomical!

把阿斯特罗抱在膝上，搔他的下巴。 “臭!你把他留下，又把他带回来了？”朱迪问。 “臭，我以为我们说好了——”爸爸开口了。 “我没有养他！”诚实的!我都不知道他在里面。 他一定是一路藏在我的背包里回家的。” “一只猫加一只豚鼠等于一个大麻烦，”朱迪说。 就在这时，老鼠爬上了臭臭的腿。 “老鼠，不要！”臭臭喊道。 但是老鼠只是从上到下舔阿斯特罗，就好像这只豚鼠是一只小猫。 爸爸看着妈妈。妈妈看着爸爸。 还没等臭臭开口，他们俩都点了点头。 就像在Y-E-S里一样，他可以留下阿斯特罗！时尚宣言。 臭味在猪的天堂。那是豚鼠的天堂。 天文!
