2 Wild Weather

CHAPTER 2 WILD WEATHER If you're like most of our readers, you're probably wondering why I'm still in bed. Well, it's Monday morning, and I love a good Monday morning sleep-in. Uh-oh. Looks like rain. But that's not a problem. Fortunately, I have my emergency Monday morning sleep-in umbrella right here. Ah, that's better. Nice and warm and dry.

如果你和我们的大多数读者一样，你可能想知道为什么我还在床上。 好吧，今天是周一早上，我喜欢周一早上好好睡一觉。 哦。看起来要下雨了。但这不是问题。 幸运的是，我这里有我周一早上的紧急睡伞。 啊，好多了。又暖和又干燥。

Actually, now it's a little too warm because the rain has stopped and the sun's come out. And when I say "the sun's come out," I mean the sun has really come out—it's actually really, really hot! Eeek! My umbrella just caught fire. See? I told you it was hot!

实际上，现在有点太热了，因为雨停了，太阳出来了。 当我说“太阳出来了”的时候，我的意思是太阳真的出来了——它真的非常非常热！嘿!我的伞刚刚着火了。 看到了吗?我告诉过你很热的！

Now it's started raining again! Which is kind of good because it's put out the fire… but it's also kind of bad because now it's raining so hard I really need an umbrella… Oh, great—the wind just blew all the blankets off my bed. This is the most unrelaxing Monday morning sleep-in ever!

现在又开始下雨了！这是件好事，因为它扑灭了火，但也有点糟糕，因为现在雨下得很大，我真的需要一把伞，哦，太好了，风把我床上的毯子都吹走了。 这是有史以来最不放松的周一睡懒觉！

And then it gets even more unrelaxing when, with a loud WHUMP and a high-pitched EEK, Jill lands on my bed! "Jill?" I say. "What are you doing here?" "I don't know!" she says. "One moment I was having a lovely indoor picnic with my animals, then the next thing I knew, there was this huge storm and it blew my cottage away. And then it blew me away as well and I landed here!"

然后更让人不安的是，随着一声响亮的“砰”的一声，吉尔落在我的床上！“吉尔?”我说。 “你在这儿干什么？”“我不知道！”她说。 “前一刻我还在和我的动物们在室内野餐，然后我所知道的下一件事就是，一场巨大的风暴把我的小屋吹走了。 然后它也把我吹走了，我降落在这里！”

Suddenly, Terry crashes down onto the bed beside us. "Terry?!" I say. "Did the storm blow you here as well?" "Sort of," says Terry. "You see, I thought it would be nice to start the day with a little rain shower. So I went to the Whatever-Weather-You-Want dome and turned on the rain, and then I wanted to get dry so I turned on a good, strong, hot wind, but I got too hot, so I turned on the snow to cool off, but then there was too much snow and it turned into a blizzard, so I turned on a tornado to blow it away, but it blew me away instead

突然，特里倒在我们旁边的床上。 “特里? !”我说。“暴风雨也把你吹到这里来了吗？”“差不多吧，”特里说。 “你看，我想以小雨开始新的一天会很好。 所以我就去了“随便你想要什么天气”的圆顶，开了雨，然后我想要干一点，所以我开了一股强劲的热风，但是我太热了，所以我开了雪来降温，但是后来雪太多了，变成了暴风雪，所以我开了龙卷风想把它吹走，但它却把我吹走了

and here I am." "Did you remember to shut the door before you started the weather?" I say. "No," says Terry. "Was I supposed to?" "OF COURSE YOU WERE!" I say. "How was I supposed to know that?" says Terry. "Because I put up a sign!" I say.

我就在这里。”“你记得在预报天气之前把门关上吗？”我说。 “不，”特里说。“我应该这么做吗？”“你当然是！”我说。 “我怎么会知道呢？”特里说。 “因为我贴了个牌子！”我说。
