3 Pens, Pencils and Writing Utensils

CHAPTER 3 PENS, PENCILS AND WRITING UTENSILS We arrive at the Two-Dollar Shop. Pinchy McPhee is out the front, waving his claws around and singing at the top of his voice.

第三章钢笔、铅笔和书写工具我们来到了两美元商店。 Pinchy McPhee在前面，挥舞着他的爪子，用最大的声音唱歌。

Grand Sale! Grand Sale! I'm having a great grand sale! All items in my Two-Dollar Shop Are priced at just TWO DOLLARS a pop! Not one, not three Not five: just TWO! Just TWO dollars! It's amazing—but true! So— 'Excuse me, Pinchy,' I say quickly (before he can start a third verse), 'but isn't everything in the Two-Dollar Shop always only two dollars?' 'Of course,' says Pinchy. 'But today is a grand sale

大减价!大减价!我在搞大甩卖！我的两美元商店里所有的东西都只标价两美元一件！不是一个，不是三个，不是五个，只有两个！只要两美元！这很神奇——但却是真的！所以——“对不起，Pinchy，”我很快地说（在他开始第三节之前），“但两美元商店里的东西不都只有两美元吗？”“当然，”Pinchy说。 但今天是大甩卖

so two dollars is an extra-special price!' Q What did the bird say at the sale? A Cheap! Cheap! Terry frowns. 'But if everything is normally two dollars and your sale price is two dollars, how is today different from any other day?' 'Because any other day is not a grand sale and today is!' says Pinchy, getting slightly crabby and waving his claws dangerously close to us. We nod and step into the shop before he can get

所以两美元是特惠价！”那只鸟在拍卖时说了什么？ 一个廉价的!便宜!特里皱眉。 “但如果所有东西通常都是两美元，你的售价也是两美元，那么今天和其他日子有什么不同呢？”“因为别的日子都不是大甩卖，而今天是！”Pinchy说，变得有点暴躁，危险地挥舞着爪子靠近我们。 我们点点头，在他走之前走进商店

any crabbier. 'Wow!' says Terry. 'This shop has everything! Check it out!' Q What do you call a sheep without legs? A A cloud. 'Hey, look at this electric banana,' says Terry. 'It's only two dollars!'

任何要更暴躁些。“哇!特里说。 “这家店什么都有！”看看吧！”没有腿的羊叫什么？ 一朵云。“嘿，看这个电动香蕉，”特里说。 “只要两美元！”

'And this giant glow-in-the-dark marshmallow is bigger than my head,' he says. 'And it's only two dollars, too!' Q What's yellow and smells like bananas? A Monkey vomit. 'And check out this model of our treehouse!' says

他说：“这个巨大的夜光棉花糖比我的头还大。” “而且只要两美元！”什么东西是黄色的，闻起来像香蕉？ 一只猴子在呕吐。“看看我们的树屋模型！”说

Terry. 'We could buy it and have a treehouse in our treehouse!' 'And there's also a model of the model of the treehouse!' he says. 'We could have a treehouse in our treehouse in our treehouse!' 'Oh, wow!' says Terry, picking up a golden toilet seat. 'Here's that solid gold toilet seat we've always wanted —and it's only two dollars as well! Can we get it,

特里。“我们可以买下它，在我们的树屋里建一个树屋！”“还有一个树屋模型的模型！”他说。 “我们可以在我们的树屋里建一个树屋！”“哦，哇！”特里说着，拿起一个金色的马桶盖。 “这是我们一直想要的纯金马桶盖——而且只要两美元！”我们能得到它吗？
