13 The Last Chapter

CHAPTER 13 THE LAST CHAPTER Given that we've already built a 169-story treehouse, a treehouse school, and a supersonic paper plane, building a single-story cottage exactly like Jill's old one is easy and doesn't take us very long at all. "It's perfect," says Jill. "And the view from up here is spectacular! Now all I have to do is move my animals

鉴于我们已经建造了一座169层的树屋、一所树屋学校和一架超音速纸飞机，建造一座和吉尔的老房子一模一样的单层小屋很容易，而且根本不会花我们很长时间。 “太完美了，”吉尔说。 “从这里看到的景色太壮观了！”现在我要做的就是转移我的动物

in… Uh-oh…" "What's the matter?" I say. "I'm not sure where my animals are— I haven't seen them since the wind blew them and my cottage away." "Don't worry," says Terry. "The Grabinator can find them all and bring them to their new home." So Terry fires up the Grabinator and starts to grab.

“出什么事了？”我说。 “我不确定我的动物在哪里——自从风把它们和我的小屋吹走后，我就没见过它们。” “别担心，”特里说。 “抓取者可以找到它们，把它们带到它们的新家。” 于是特里启动了抓取器，开始抓取。

He grabs and grabs and grabs and grabs and grabs and grabs and grabs and grabs and grabs until all of Jill's animals (and a few others that aren't Jill's but don't seem to mind too much) have been grabbed and placed in their new home.

他抓住，抓住，抓住，抓住，抓住，抓住，抓住，抓住，直到吉尔的所有动物（还有一些不是吉尔的，但似乎不太介意的动物）都被抓住，安置在它们的新家。

"It's so nice to see you all again," says Jill. "I've missed you." "Hee-haw!" says Hee-Haw. "You're right about that," says Jill. "What did he say?" says Terry. "He said there's no place like home," says Jill. "Exactly!" says Terry. "And there's no home like a treehouse." "You can say that again," I say. "There's no home like a treehouse," says Terry. "There's no home like a treehouse… there's no home like a treehouse… there's no home like a—" "You can stop saying it now," I say.

“很高兴再次见到你们，”吉尔说。 “我想你了。”“嘻嗬！”嘻嗬说。 “你说得对，”吉尔说。 “他说什么？”特里说。 “他说没有地方比得上家。”吉尔说。 “没错！”特里说。“没有比树屋更好的家了。” “你说得对，”我说。 “没有比树屋更好的家了，”特里说。 “没有一个家像树屋……没有一个家像树屋……没有一个家像——”“你现在可以别说了，”我说。

"Why?" says Terry. "Because it's the end of the book," I say. "Wait," says Terry. "Can we have a zoom-out ending? We've never done that before." "Sure!" I say. "Yay!" says Terry. "Double yay," says Jill. "I love zoom-out endings!" "Okay then," I say. "One zoom-out ending coming up. Everybody hold on tight. That goes for you, too, readers. Here we go!"

“为什么？”特里说。“因为这是这本书的结尾，”我说。 “等等，”特里说。“我们能有一个缩小的结局吗？” 我们以前从未这样做过。” “当然!”我说。“耶！”特里说。 “好极了，”吉尔说。“我喜欢缩小结局！”“那好吧，”我说。 “一个放大结局即将到来。 大家抓紧了。这也适用于你，读者们。 我们走吧！”
