Chapter 13

Chapter 13 My phone didn't ring. "Hey, Nina," I said. "I wonder why we're not getting any phone calls about BIG DEAL mysteries." She didn't answer. She was busy chewing on something. "Maybe there are no more BIG DEAL mysteries," I said.

第13章我的电话没响。 “嘿，尼娜，”我说。“我想知道为什么我们没有接到任何关于‘大交易’神秘事件的电话。” 她没有回答。她正忙着咀嚼什么东西。 “也许再也没有什么大不了的谜团了，”我说。

Nina just kept chewing. "Hey, maybe that's a BIG DEAL mystery!" I said. "The Mystery... of No More Mysteries! What do you think?" Nina just kept on chewing. "Hey, what are you eating over there?" I asked. "Phone," she said. "The phone!?! No wonder we're not getting any phone calls, Nina! You're ruining the Flytrap Detective Agency!" "Big deal," said Nina. "Well, it's a big deal to me. Quick, push me to the phone store!" When we got to the phone store, the salesperson showed me the newest kind of phone. It was very, very small and had lots of neat extras, like a camera, electronic maps, and a high-powered 3-D video magnifying glass.

尼娜只是不停地咀嚼。“嘿，也许这是个大秘密！”我说。 “神秘…不再神秘！你觉得怎么样？”尼娜只是继续咀嚼。 “嘿，你在那边吃什么？”我问。 “电话，”她说。“电话! ? !难怪我们没有接到任何电话，妮娜！你毁了捕蝇器侦探事务所！”“有什么大不了的，”尼娜说。 “嗯，这对我来说很重要。 快，把我推到手机店去！”当我们到达手机店时，售货员给我看了一款最新款的手机。 它非常非常小，而且有很多整洁的额外设备，比如一个摄像头、电子地图和一个高倍的3d视频放大镜。

"Wow!" I said. "That would be perfect for my job as a detective. What do you think, Nina?" She ate it in one bite. "Too small," she said. "Do you have any goat-proof phones?" I asked the salesperson. He showed me to the goat-proof-phone aisle. All the goat-proof phones were big and clunky and didn't have cameras or any other cool stuff. "All right," I said. "I guess I'll take the biggest, clunkiest, least cool phone you've got."

“哇!”我说。“这对我的侦探工作来说再合适不过了。 你觉得呢，尼娜？”她一口就吃完了。 “太小了，”她说。“你们有防山羊的手机吗？”我问售货员。 他带我去了防山羊手机通道。 所有防山羊手机都又大又笨重，没有摄像头或任何其他酷的东西。 “好吧，”我说。“我想我会选你们现有的最大、最笨重、最不酷的手机。”

Back at the office, I plugged in the enormous new phone. It rang right away! "Flytrap Detective Agency. Do you have a mystery?" A grumpy voice said, "Yeah, Mr. Flytrap, I sure do!" "Actually, my name is Inspector Flytrap," I said. "Who cares! All I care about is getting somebody to solve this mystery." "Is it a BIG DEAL mystery?" "Duh! Of course it is." said the grumpy voice. "I wouldn't waste my time calling you over a SMALL deal mystery."

回到办公室，我给那部巨大的新手机插上电源。 它马上就响了！捕蝇蝇侦探事务所。 你有什么秘密吗？”一个暴躁的声音说：“是的，捕蝇草先生，我当然知道！”“实际上，我的名字是捕蝇草探长，”我说。 “谁在乎!我唯一关心的是找人解开这个谜团。” “这是一个大谜团吗？”“咄!当然是。” 那个暴躁的声音说。“我不会浪费时间给你打电话，因为一个小小的交易谜题。”

The grumpy voice told me all about it. "I'll be right over," I said and hung up the phone. "Nina, will you please push me to Snooty la Tooty Gardens? Someone has stolen their largest and most beautiful flower." "Big daffodil," said Nina. "No," I said. "It's a rose."

那暴躁的声音把一切都告诉了我。 “我马上过来，”我说完就挂了电话。 “尼娜，你能把我推到史努比·拉·图蒂花园吗？” 有人偷走了他们最大、最美丽的花。” “大水仙花，”尼娜说。 “不，”我说。“这是一朵玫瑰。”
