12 Wedding Beeps

CHAPTER 12 WEDDING BEEPS Did somebody say WEDDING? 'I feel sorry for Fred,' says Jill, 'but I feel even sorrier for the hobyahs.' 'Are you kidding me?' I say. 'They tied you up in a bag, poked you with a stick and yelled "Hobyah!" at you over and over!' 'And not only that, but they stole my camera!' says Jimmy. 'I've lost all of my what-were-sure-to-be

第十二章婚礼的哔哔声有人说婚礼了吗？ “我为弗雷德感到难过，”吉尔说，“但我为霍比亚夫妇感到更难过。“你在开玩笑吗？”我说。 “他们把你绑在一个袋子里，用棍子戳你，一遍又一遍地对你喊‘霍比亚！’”“不仅如此，他们还偷了我的照相机！”吉米说。 “我失去了所有我肯定会有的东西

award-winning photos!' 'And they stole my notebook and pen,' says Wanda. 'All my notes. All my interviews. All burned up by a dragon. Now we have no story!' I hear a clanking sound and look around. Mary and Edward have put their heads together and are whispering excitedly.

获奖的照片!“他们还偷了我的笔记本和笔，”旺达说。 “我所有的笔记。我所有的面试。 都被一条龙烧掉了。 现在我们没有故事了！”我听到叮当声，环顾四周。 玛丽和爱德华把头凑在一起，兴奋地窃窃私语。

Edward looks up. 'Maybe Mary and I can help,' he says to Wanda. 'I think we might have a scoop for you!' 'Thanks, Edward,' says Wanda, 'but I don't feel like ice-cream at the moment. What I need is a story.' 'That's exactly what we're offering you,' says Mary. 'We're not talking about a scoop of ice-cream—we're talking about news.'

爱德华抬起头。“也许玛丽和我能帮忙，”他对旺达说。 “我想我们可能有独家新闻给你！”“谢谢，爱德华，”旺达说，“但我现在不想吃冰淇淋。” 我需要的是一个故事。“这正是我们提供给你的，”玛丽说。 我们说的不是一勺冰淇淋，而是新闻。

'News?' says Wanda. 'What sort of news?' 'Edward and I have decided to get married,' says Mary. 'That's wonderful!' I say. 'We've never had a wedding in the treehouse before.' We all crowd around Edward and Mary and congratulate them.

“消息?旺达说。“什么消息？”“爱德华和我决定结婚了，”玛丽说。 “那太好了!”我说。 “我们以前从来没有在树屋举行过婚礼。”我们都围在爱德华和玛丽的周围祝贺他们。

'Can we throw nuts and bolts, instead of confetti?' says Terry. 'Of course,' says Edward. 'That's what happens at robot weddings.' 'That is definitely great news,' says Wanda. 'I'm very happy for you both. But, unfortunately, GO AWAY! magazine doesn't cover weddings—it's only about holidays.'

“我们能扔一些具体的东西，而不是五彩纸屑吗？”特里说。 “当然，”爱德华说。这就是机器人婚礼上发生的事情。“这绝对是个好消息，”旺达说。 “我为你们俩感到高兴。 但是，不幸的是，走开！这本杂志不报道婚礼，只报道假日。”

'We know!' says Mary. 'And that's what we're talking about—we would like to offer GO AWAY! magazine exclusive rights to our wedding and our honeymoon holiday!' 'Yes,' says Edward. 'We are going to Ye Olde Worlde Historical Village where we will feast on old- efashioned ice-cream and lollipops, have a carriage ride down the olde-fashioned main street, get our circuits tuned by an olde-fashioned technician and take part in an olde-fashioned bar room brawl in Ye Olde Historical Saloon!'

“我们知道!玛丽说。“这就是我们要谈的——我们想提议——走开！”杂志独家报道我们的婚礼和蜜月假期！“是的，”爱德华说。 “我们要去耶奥尔德世界历史村，在那里我们将享用老式的冰淇淋和棒棒糖，乘坐马车沿着老式的主要街道行驶，让我们的电路由老式的技术人员调试，并参加耶奥尔德历史沙龙的老式酒吧斗殴！”
