4 Rock, Balloon, Squeak Toy

ROCK, RALLOON, SQUEAK TOY

岩石，气球，吱吱的玩具

Pree-eep! Craw-awk! Sque-enk! Stink listened to frog calls on the computer. He listened to frog sounds that he taped with his own tape recorder (by sticking it out the window at night!). Stink listened to frog calls on the way to school Monday morning and in the car on the way to swim lessons. Pre-eep! Craw-awk! Sque-enk! At swim practice, he tried some out on his friends. "You sound like a duck," said Webster. "You sound like a squeak toy," said Sophie. "You sound like a sick banjo," said Riley. "Thanks!" said Stink. "See, spring peepers sound like squeak toys. And wood frogs sound like ducks quacking." "You're quacked," said Webster. Sophie and Riley cracked up. "You guys sound like Southern leopard frogs. A leopard frog sounds like a person laughing. No lie." "Yeah, but nothing sounds like a sick banjo," said Riley. "Nothing except for the Northern green frog. It sounds like a loose banjo string. You know, like a rubber-band twang."

Pree-eep !Craw-awk !Sque-enk !臭臭在电脑上听青蛙的叫声。 他听着用自己的录音机录下的青蛙的声音（晚上把录音机放在窗外！） 臭臭星期一早上在去学校的路上和去上游泳课的车上听着青蛙的叫声。 Pre-eep !Craw-awk !Sque-enk !在游泳训练时，他在朋友身上试了几次。 “你听起来像只鸭子，”韦伯斯特说。 “你听起来像个吱吱叫的玩具。”苏菲说。 “你听起来像个生病的班卓琴。”莱利说。 “谢谢！”臭臭说。“看，春天的窥视者听起来像吱吱作响的玩具。 林蛙的叫声就像鸭子呱呱叫。” “你在嘎嘎叫，”韦伯斯特说。 苏菲和莱利大笑起来。 “你们听起来像南方豹蛙。 豹纹蛙听起来像人在笑。 没有说谎。”“是啊，但没有什么声音像病态的班卓琴。”莱利说。 “除了北方绿蛙什么也没有。 听起来像松了的班卓琴琴弦。 你知道，就像橡皮筋发出的撞击声。”

"You sure are freaky for frogs," said Riley. "Thanks!" said Stink. "You should marry a frog, you like them so much." "Hardee-har-har," said Stink. Stink could not wait till swimming was over. He had a freaking great idea for how to learn frog sounds. He would need a comb, a balloon, two rocks, a can of spray paint, a rubber band, a rubber duck, some jingle bells, and that's all. Stink blew up the balloon and rubbed it with his hand. He clicked rocks together. He twanged a rubber band. Judy poked her head into Stink's room. Mouse squeezed past her. "Stink, I'm trying to study my times tables and I can't hear myself—" She stopped when she saw the pile of junk on Stink's floor. "What? I'm using this stuff to make frog sounds. Here. I'll show you." Stink rubbed his finger

“你对青蛙可真怪。”莱利说。 “谢谢！”臭臭说。“你应该嫁给一只青蛙，你那么喜欢它们。” “哈——哈——哈，”臭臭说。 臭臭等不及游完泳。 他有个学青蛙叫声的好主意。 他需要一把梳子，一个气球，两块石头，一罐喷漆，一根橡皮筋，一只橡皮鸭，一些铃铛，这些就够了。 臭小子吹起气球，用手揉搓。 他把石头敲在一起。 他拨动橡皮筋。朱迪把头伸进臭臭的房间。 老鼠从她身边挤过去。“臭臭，我在学习乘法表，我听不见自己在说什么——”当她看到臭臭家地板上的一堆垃圾时，她停住了脚步。 “什么?我用这个东西来制造青蛙的声音。 在这里。我来告诉你。”臭臭揉了揉手指

along the teeth of a comb. "This sounds like a chorus frog." Stink shook the can of spray paint. "And this sounds like a Northern cricket frog." Mouse darted under the bed. "And this— AARGH!— sounds like Mom when she sees the mess in your room," said Judy. "Hardee-har-har," chuckled Stink. "You're croaking me up!" "Can you please shut your door so I don't have to hear Froggle Rock all day?" Stink squeaked his rubber duck down the stairs. He snored up a storm while he made a snack. He shook the can of paint, clicked the stones, and jingled the bells. "Wood frog, pickerel frog, cricket frog," he recited. "Stink, keep it down, please," said Dad, poking his head around the corner. "I'm on the phone." "No spray-painting in the house," said Mom. "Take that outside." "I'm not painting," said Stink. "Doesn't anybody around here know a Northern cricket frog when they hear one?" Mom crinkled her forehead.

沿着梳子的齿。 “这听起来像一只合唱青蛙。” 臭气使喷漆罐摇晃。 “这听起来像北方蟋蟀蛙。” 老鼠窜到床底下。 “还有这个——啊！”——听起来就像妈妈看到你房间里乱七八糟的样子，”朱迪说。 “哈——哈——哈。”臭臭咯咯地笑着。 “你把我弄哭了！”“你能把门关上吗，这样我就不用整天听到青蛙岩的声音了？”臭小子吱吱地叫着他的橡皮鸭下了楼。 他一边做点心，一边呼呼大睡。 他摇晃着油漆桶，敲着石头，敲着铃铛。 “林蛙，琵琶蛙，蟋蟀蛙，”他背诵道。 “臭臭，小点声，”爸爸说着，从墙角探出头来。 “我在打电话。”“家里不准喷漆，”妈妈说。 “拿出去。”“我不是在画画，”臭臭说。 “难道这里没有人听到北方蟋蟀蛙就能认出来吗？”妈妈皱起了眉头。

"It's homework," said Stink. "I have to take a test." "A frog test," said Judy, coming into the kitchen. "I have to learn frog calls," said Stink. "For the First Annual Frog Neck Lake Frog Count on Friday." "Riigggght," said Mom.

“这是家庭作业，”臭臭说。 “我得参加考试。”“青蛙测试，”朱迪走进厨房说。 “我得学青蛙叫，”臭臭说。 “为了周五举行的首届蛙颈湖蛙年度统计” “好的，”妈妈说。
