3 Why the Sharks Ate Terry’s Underpants

CHAPTER 3 WHY THE SHARKS ATE TERRY'S UNDERPANTS I look at Terry for a minute as I try to understand what he just said. "I'm sorry," I say. "I must have misheard you. It sounded like you said the sharks ate your underpants."

第三章为什么鲨鱼吃了特里的内裤我看了特里一会儿，试图理解他刚才说的话。 “对不起，”我说。“我一定是听错了。 听起来像是你说鲨鱼吃了你的内裤。”

"I did say that!" says Terry. "And now the sharks are really sick! They're just lying on the bottom of the tank not moving." "But why did they eat your underpants?" I say. "I mean, how did they even get them?" "Well," he says, "I came up with the idea of using the shark tank to wash my underpants. I dangled a dummy over the top of the water and the sharks thought it was a real person, and were jumping all around trying to bite it, and that churned up the water—you know, like in a washing machine. "So then I put my underpants on the end of a stick and lowered them into the water.

“我确实这么说过！”特里说。 “现在鲨鱼真的病了！”它们只是躺在水箱底部不动。” “但它们为什么要吃你的内裤呢？”我说。 “我是说，他们到底是怎么拿到的？”“嗯，”他说，“我想到了用鲨鱼池洗内裤的主意。 我把一个假人吊在水面上，鲨鱼以为那是真人，到处乱跳，想咬它，水就被搅得乱七八糟——你知道，就像在洗衣机里一样。 于是我把内裤绑在一根棍子的末端，然后把它们放进水里。

"But the sharks were jumping around so much, they knocked the underpants off the stick and then they ate them. Now the sharks are just lying on the bottom of the tank and they've turned a weird green color!" You know, Terry has done some dumb things in the past, but this has got to be the dumbest ever!

“但是鲨鱼跳来跳去，它们把内裤从棍子上撞下来，然后吃掉了它们。 现在鲨鱼只是躺在水箱底部，它们变成了一种奇怪的绿色！”你知道，特里过去做过一些蠢事，但这绝对是最蠢的！

The top 5 dumbest things Terry has ever done. 5. Put gelatin (lots) in the penguin bath. 4. Rode his horse along the beach and past the sign that read DANGER: QUICKSAND It's going to work out just fine, Horse.

特里做过的最愚蠢的五件事。 5. 将明胶（大量）放入企鹅浴中。 4. 他骑着马沿着海滩，经过写着“危险：流沙”的牌子。一切都会好起来的，马。

3. Went rowing with his elephant friend. 2. Took his bad constrictor to a movie. 1. Tried to wash his underpants in the shark tanks.

3. 和他的大象朋友去划船。 2. 带他的坏蟒蛇去看电影。 1. 想在鲨鱼池里洗内裤。

"What are we going to do, Andy?" says Terry. "I'm not sure," I say. "If only we knew somebody who loves animals and knows all about them and lives close by so they could get here in a hurry." "Yeah," says Terry, "somebody like Jill." "Yeah," I say, "somebody exactly like Jill." "Hey, I know!" says Terry. "Why don't we call Jill?" "Great idea!" I say. In case you don't know who Jill is, she's our neighbor. She lives just on the other side of the forest and she loves animals and knows all about them. She's got two dogs, a goat, three horses, four goldfish, one cow, six rabbits, two guinea pigs, one camel, one donkey, and thirteen flying cats.

“我们要做什么，安迪？”特里说。 “我不确定，”我说。“要是我们认识一个热爱动物、了解动物的人就好了，而且住得很近，这样他们就能赶紧来这里了。” “是的，”特里说，“像吉尔那样的人。” “是的，”我说，“一个和吉尔一模一样的人。” “嘿，我知道了！”特里说。 “我们为什么不叫吉尔呢？”“好主意!”我说。 如果你不知道吉尔是谁，她是我们的邻居。 她就住在森林的另一边，她喜欢动物，对它们了如指掌。 她有两条狗，一只山羊，三匹马，四条金鱼，一头牛，六只兔子，两只豚鼠，一头骆驼，一头驴和十三只飞猫。
