小屁孩树屋历险记 · 02 The 26-Story Treehouse
CHAPTER 7 JILL'S STORY Once upon a time, there was a little girl who loved animals. And she didn't just love them- she could also understand them, and they could understand her.
第七章吉尔的故事从前,有一个喜欢动物的小女孩。 她不仅爱他们——她还能理解他们,他们也能理解她。
She spent every spare moment of her time with animals and helped them whenever possible.
她把所有的空闲时间都花在动物身上,并尽可能地帮助它们。
But what the little girl wanted more than anything was a pet of her very own, and even though her parents were really rich and could have afforded to buy her millions of pets, they wouldn't let her have even one... not even an ant. Can I have a pet cat? Cats are annoying. Can I have a pet dog? Dogs are noisy. Can I have a pet guinea pig? Too smelly. What about a pet crab? Too pinchy.
但小女孩最想要的是一只属于自己的宠物,尽管她的父母很有钱,有能力给她买数百万只宠物,但他们连一只都不让她养…… 连一只蚂蚁都没有。我能养只宠物猫吗? 猫很烦人。我可以养一只宠物狗吗? 狗很吵。我能养一只宠物豚鼠吗? 太臭。宠物蟹怎么样? 太pinchy。
The only thing her parents were interested in was having parties with their fancy friends on board their luxury super yacht.
她的父母唯一感兴趣的是和他们的高级朋友在他们的豪华超级游艇上开派对。
One day, the little girl was on the deck of her parents' yacht when she saw an enormous fish. It was creamy white with large, greenish-blue veins all over its body and it smelled like moldy old cheese.
一天,小女孩在她父母的游艇甲板上看到了一条大鱼。 它是乳白色的,全身都是青绿色的大血管,闻起来像发霉的旧奶酪。
The little girl, who knew everything there was to know about animals, recognized it at once as the legendary Gorgonzola-the greediest and most disgusting fish in the ocean. It stank like the stinky cheese it was named after and swam around the world eating everything in its path. As the little girl watched in horror. Gorgonzola swam closer... and closer... and closer.
这个小女孩对动物了如指掌,她立刻认出这是传说中的戈尔根佐拉鱼——海洋中最贪婪、最恶心的鱼。 它像臭奶酪一样臭,以它的名字命名,并在世界各地游泳,吃沿途的一切。 小女孩惊恐地看着。 戈尔根佐拉游得更近了……越来越近…… 越来越近。
