2 Andy’s Aching Toothache

CHAPTER 2 ANDY'S ACHING TOOTHACHE If you're like most of our readers (moan), you're probably wondering (groan) why I'm moaning and groaning so much. Well, the reason is I've got a really bad toothache. 'Hi, Andy,' says Terry, prancing towards me with a

如果你和我们的大多数读者一样（呻吟），你可能会想知道（呻吟）为什么我总是呻吟和呻吟。 嗯，原因是我牙疼得很厉害。 “嗨，安迪，”特里说着，带着一个

couple of lambs by his side. 'What a lovely day it is in our beautiful sunny meadow full of buttercups, butterflies and bluebirds!' 'No, it's not,' I say. 'It's a terrible day! I've got the most aching toothache in the world!' Q What time do you go to the dentist? A Two-thirty.

他身边有两只羊羔。 “多么可爱的一天啊，在我们美丽的阳光明媚的草地上，到处都是毛茛、蝴蝶和蓝鸟！”“不，不是的，”我说。 “真是糟糕的一天！”我的牙痛得世界上最厉害了！”你什么时候去看牙医？ 一个二百三十年。

'Hey, that reminds me of a joke,' says Terry. 'What time did the boy go to the dentist?' 'I don't know and I don't care!' I say. 'My tooth is hurting!' 'That's right,' he says, laughing. 'Two-thirty. Get it? Tooth-hurty. Just like you!' 'Yes, I get it,' I say. 'Then why aren't you laughing?' 'Because my tooth is hurting too much! It's hard to

“嘿，这让我想起了一个笑话，”特里说。 “那男孩什么时候去看牙医的？”“我不知道，也不在乎！”我说。 “我的牙疼！”“没错，”他笑着说。 二百三十年。明白了吗?Tooth-hurty。 就像你一样！“是的，我明白了，”我说。 “那你为什么不笑呢？”“因为我的牙疼得厉害！”这很难

laugh when I'm in so much pain.' 'That's too bad,' says Terry, 'because I love jokes! I reckon we should write a whole book of them.' 'I'd love to,' I say, 'but with this toothache I just don't feel funny enough to write jokes. In fact, I'm not sure I even feel funny enough to write this book.' Q If life gets tough, what do you have that you can always count on? A Your fingers. 'But we have to write this book,' says Terry.

在我如此痛苦的时候笑。“那太糟糕了，”特里说，“因为我喜欢开玩笑！”我想我们应该写一本关于他们的书。“我很想写，”我说，“但是牙痛让我觉得写笑话不够有趣。” 事实上，我甚至不确定自己是否觉得有足够的幽默感来写这本书。”如果生活变得艰难，你有什么可以依靠的？ A你的手指。“但我们必须写这本书，”特里说。

'Otherwise, Mr Big Nose will get mad!' 'I know,' I say. 'I just don't know how we're going to do it. This toothache is killing me.' 'Hey, look up there in the sky!' says Terry. 'It's a bird!' I look up to where Terry's pointing. 'I don't think it's a bird,' I say. 'That's Superfinger.' 'No, it's not a bird or Superfinger,' says Terry. 'It's a biplane! And it's got a sign!'

“否则，大鼻子先生会生气的！”“我知道，”我说。 “我只是不知道我们该怎么做。 我牙痛得要命。“嘿，看看天空！”特里说。 “是一只鸟！”我抬头看了看特里指的地方。 “我想那不是鸟，”我说。 “这是Superfinger。“不，它不是鸟，也不是超级手指，”特里说。 “是一架双翼飞机！”它还有个标志呢！”

Q Why did the plane crash? A Because the pilot was a loaf of bread. 'A joke-writing pencil, Andy!' says Terry. 'That's exactly what we need! It could help us write jokes and it might even help us write our book even though you have a toothache. We should get one. Today!' 'But where from?' I say, just as a second biplane flies overhead.

问：飞机为什么坠毁？ A因为飞行员是一块面包。 “写笑话的铅笔，安迪！”特里说。 “这正是我们需要的！”它可以帮助我们写笑话，甚至可以帮助我们写书，即使你牙痛。 我们应该买一个。今天!“可是从哪儿来的？”我说，就像第二架双翼飞机飞过头顶。
