CHAPTER 3 SPIN, SPIN, SPIN Fine. So Mr Big Shot doesn't want me in the movie. I don't care.
第三章旋转,旋转,旋转得很好。 所以大腕先生不想让我拍电影。 我也不在乎。
It's not like I haven't got more important things to do. That giant unhatched egg, for instance—it's not going to hatch itself. I'd better go and sit on it right now! I don't mind. This is important work. Much more important than making some dumb movie.
我又不是没有更重要的事要做。 例如,那个巨大的未孵化的蛋,它不会自己孵化。 我最好现在就去坐在上面!我不介意。 这是一项重要的工作。比拍什么烂电影重要多了。
Hang on. That's a weird noise. It sounds a bit like Jill and her intergalactic space-animal rescue service returning through the Earth's atmosphere. It is Jill and her intergalactic space-animal rescue service!
坚持下去。那声音真奇怪。 这听起来有点像吉尔和她的星际太空动物救援服务通过地球大气层返回。 是吉尔和她的星际太空动物救援服务!
'Hi, Andy,' says Jill. 'I just got back from the moon. I had to rescue some mice whose rocket crashed while they were on a cheese-seeking mission. It doesn't seem to matter how many times I tell them the moon is not made of cheese, they just don't listen.' 'Yeah, well, I'm doing some pretty important work here, too,' I say. 'I'm helping this giant unhatched egg to hatch.'
“嗨,安迪,”吉尔说。“我刚从月球回来。 我不得不拯救一些老鼠,它们在执行寻找奶酪的任务时火箭坠毁了。 不管我告诉他们多少次月亮不是奶酪做的,他们就是不听。“是啊,我也在这里做一些很重要的工作,”我说。 我在帮这只未孵化的巨蛋孵化
'That's great!' says Jill. 'I can't wait to see what comes out.' 'Me neither,' I say. 'Where's Terry?' says Jill. 'He's with a film crew. They're making a Treehouse movie.' 'Wow!' says Jill. 'How come you're not there?' I sigh. 'The big shot Hollywood director Mr Big Shot said he didn't need a narrator.'
“太好了!吉尔说。 “我迫不及待地想看看结果如何。“我也是,”我说。 ”特里在哪儿?吉尔说。 “他和一个摄制组在一起。他们在拍《树屋》电影。“哇!吉尔说。 “你怎么不在那儿? ”我叹了口气。 “好莱坞大腕导演大腕先生说他不需要旁白。”
'Isn't it called a "voiceover" when it's in a movie?' 'Yeah, well, whatever it's called, Mr Big Shot didn't want it.' 'That's too bad,' says Jill. 'Still, a movie—that's pretty exciting!' 'I guess so,' I say, 'if you like electricorns, that is.' 'Electricorns?' says Jill. 'Yeah,' I say. 'Terry used the combining machine to combine an electric eel and a unicorn. They're filming a re-enactment.'
“在电影里不叫‘画外音’吗?”“是啊,不管它叫什么,反正大腕先生不想要。”“那太糟糕了,”吉尔说。 “不过,电影还是挺刺激的!”“我想是的,”我说,“如果你喜欢电子兽的话。”“Electricorns吗?吉尔说。 “是的,”我说。特里用这台组合机把一只电鳗和一只独角兽组合在一起。 他们正在拍摄一场重演。”
