3 Are We There Yet

CHAPTER 3 ARE WE THERE YET?

第三章，我们到了吗？

'Are we there yet?' says Terry. 'Are you kidding?' I say. 'We only just left. Look, we haven't even passed Edward Scooperhands' ice- cream parlour yet.' 'Can we stop and get an ice-cream?' says Terry. 'I really want an ice-cream!' 'So do I,' I say. 'But I want a holiday more.' 'And you'll get one,' says Terry, 'right after we stop for an ice-cream. Besides, a holiday's not a holiday without ice-cream.'

“我们到了吗？”特里说。 “你在开玩笑吧？”我说。“我们刚刚离开。 瞧，我们还没经过爱德华·斯库柏汉的冰淇淋店呢。“我们能停下来吃个冰淇淋吗？”特里说。 “我真的想要一个冰淇淋！”’我说：‘我也是。 “但我更想度假。“你也会得到一个，”特里说，“等我们停下来吃冰淇淋之后。” 再说，没有冰淇淋，假日就不叫假日了。”

Terry's right, of course. We stop and go inside.

当然，特里是对的。我们停下来，走进去。

I choose a choc-banana, new bicycle, flying monkey combo, but Terry, as usual, is having trouble deciding. 'Hmm,' he says. 'We've got a long drive ahead of us so I think I'll have one with the lot, please, Edward.' 'A long drive?' says Edward. 'Where are you off to?' 'We're going on a camping holiday,' says Terry.

我选择了巧克力香蕉，新自行车，飞猴组合，但特里，像往常一样，很难决定。 “嗯，”他说。“我们还有很长的路要开，所以我想我还是和大家一起来一杯吧，爱德华。”“开很久的车？”爱德华说。 “你上哪儿去？”“我们要去露营度假，”特里说。

'A holiday!' says Edward. 'Wow, I haven't had a holiday since… um… actually, I don't think I've ever had a holiday.' 'Why don't you come with us?' says Terry. 'I'd love to,' says Edward. 'But if I go on holiday who would run the ice-cream parlour?' 'Nobody!' says Terry. 'But it won't matter, because Andy and I won't be here!' 'Then I accept!' says Edward. 'I'll just grab my portable ice-cream vendor tray and be right with you!'

“度假!爱德华说。“哇，我从……嗯……实际上，我想我从来没有休假过。”“你为什么不和我们一起去呢？”特里说。 “我很乐意，”爱德华说。 “但如果我去度假，谁来经营冰淇淋店呢？”“没人!特里说。 “不过没关系，因为安迪和我都不在这儿了！”“那么我接受！”爱德华说。 “我拿上我的便携式冰淇淋托盘，马上就来！”

Edward jumps into the back seat and we take off again. I was hoping it would just be Terry and me, but Edward is good company—and he does have a portable ice- cream tray—so I don't really mind. We drive for a few more minutes. 'Are we there yet?' says Terry. 'No,' I sigh, 'we're only just passing Mary Lollipoppins' lollipop shop.' 'Can we stop and get a lollipop?' says Terry. 'I don't think that's a good idea,' I say. 'We'll never

爱德华跳上后座，我们又起飞了。 我本来希望只有泰瑞和我，但爱德华是个好伙伴——他有一个便携式冰淇淋托盘——所以我真的不介意。 我们又开了几分钟车。 “我们到了吗？”特里说。 “不，”我叹了口气，“我们只是路过玛丽棒棒糖店。“我们能停下来买个棒棒糖吗？”特里说。 “我不认为这是个好主意，”我说。 “我们永远不会
