11 The Wishing Well

The Wishing Well

许愿井

"Hey, Terry," I said. "Did you borrow my pencil sharpener?" "Yes," said Terry. "Can I have it back?" "No," said Terry. "Why not?" "Because I ate it." "You ate it?" "Yeah," said Terry. "I was hungry. I wanted a banana cream pie but I couldn't find one, so I ate the pencil sharpener instead." "I wish you hadn't done that," I said. "So do I," said Terry. "It didn't taste very nice." "Of course it didn't!" I said. "It was a pencil sharpener." "Do you know what I wish?" said Terry.

“嘿，特里，”我说。“你借了我的卷笔刀吗？”“是的，”特里说。 “我能拿回去吗？”“不，”特里说。 “为什么不?”“因为我吃了。” “你把它吃了？”“是的，”特里说。 “我饿了。我想要一个香蕉奶油派，但是我找不到，所以我吃了卷笔刀。” “我希望你没有那样做，”我说。 “我也是，”特里说。“味道不太好。” “当然没有！”我说。 “那是一个卷笔刀。” “你知道我希望什么吗？”特里说。

"No, what?" "I wish we had a wishing well," said Terry. "We do," I said. "It's on the wishing-well level, remember?" "Yay!" said Terry. "I got my wish! I wish we could go there right now!" "We can!" I said. "Yay!" said Terry. "I got another wish, and we're not even at the wishing well yet!" I was about to explain to him that to get a true wish you have to make your wish and then throw a wishing- well coin down the wishing well, but at that moment Jill arrived.

“没有,怎么了?”“我希望我们有一个许愿井，”特里说。 “是的，”我说。“在许愿井那一级，记得吗？”“耶！”特里说。 “我的愿望实现了！”我希望我们现在就能去那里！”“我们可以!”我说。 “耶！”特里说。“我还有一个愿望，我们还没到许愿井呢！”我正要向他解释，要得到一个真正的愿望，你必须许一个愿，然后把一个许愿井的硬币扔到许愿井里，但就在这时，吉尔来了。

"Hi, Jill!" said Terry. "We're going to the wishing- well level.

“嗨，吉尔！”特里说。“我们要去许愿井那一层。

Do you want to come?" "Ooh, yes, please," said Jill.

你想去吗？”“哦，好的，谢谢。”吉尔说。

So we began climbing. On the way we stopped at Pinchy McPhee's Two

于是我们开始爬山。在路上，我们在Pinchy McPhee's 2停了下来
