Chapter 15

Chapter 15 Nina and I followed the dirt out of Snooty la Tooty Gardens, down the street, around the corner, and up a long hill. Nina complained and grumbled the whole way. Finally, at the top of the hill, the dirt trail led us into a big park. And then I saw what we were after... a beautiful rose... in a pot... on a skateboard... being pushed by a goat! "AHA!" I shouted. "I have solved another BIG DEAL mystery!"

妮娜和我踏着泥土走出了斯努蒂图蒂花园，穿过街道，拐过街角，爬上了一座长长的小山。 妮娜一路上不停地抱怨。 最后，在山顶上，土路把我们带进了一个大公园。 然后我看到了我们要找的东西… 一朵美丽的玫瑰……在锅里…… 在滑板上…被一只山羊推着！“啊哈!”我叫道。 “我又解开了一个大谜团！”

The other goat must have heard me, because suddenly it started pushing the rose really fast. "Quick, Nina, after them!" I shouted. The chase was on! The other goat was faster, but Nina was more daring and reckless. We gained ground by racing at full speed over big bumps, taking turns without slowing down, and weaving in between the feet of passing animals. Sure, I was worried about crashing, but I didn't ask Nina to slow down. My potting soil was spilling out, too, but I didn't care. To solve the mystery I had to catch that flower! Suddenly the flower slowed down and swerved onto the grass to go around some concrete steps.

另一只山羊一定是听到了我的声音，因为它突然开始以非常快的速度推那朵玫瑰。 “快，妮娜，去追他们！”我叫道。 追逐开始了！另一只山羊跑得更快，但尼娜更大胆、更鲁莽。 我们全速跑过大斜坡，不减速地转弯，在过往动物的两脚之间穿梭，从而取得了进展。 当然，我担心会撞车，但我没让妮娜放慢速度。 我的盆栽土也洒出来了，但我不在乎。 为了解开这个谜，我必须抓住那朵花！突然，那朵花放慢了速度，转到草地上，绕过了一些水泥台阶。

I closed my eyes. I knew what Nina was about to do and I just couldn't look. She hopped on behind me and we went flying over the steps. "Yee-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" shouted Nina. We went right over a sloth sitting on the steps reading a newspaper. When we hit the ground, I bounced and almost spilled. But somehow I stayed on the skateboard and we kept going. We were catching up to them.

我闭上眼睛。我知道妮娜要做什么，但我就是不敢看。 她在我后面跳上车，我们飞快地越过台阶。 “啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！” 我们正好撞上了一只坐在台阶上看报纸的树懒。 当我们着地时，我被弹了起来，差点洒了出来。 但不知怎么的，我留在了滑板上，我们继续前进。 我们赶上了他们。

But now we were on a long straight section of sidewalk. The other goat was just too fast. Nina got off and started pushing again, but we were falling behind. The rose was getting away. I looked ahead and saw that the rose was about to run into some sort of lumpy metal thing that was on the sidewalk. "Look out!" I shouted. "You're going to crash!" But it was too late. The rose's skateboard hit the metal lump, the skateboard flipped over, and the rose tumbled off. Nina had to use all four hooves as brakes to stop us just before we hit the metal lump, too. Now I could see

但现在我们是在一条又长又直的人行道上。 另一只山羊跑得太快了。 尼娜下了车，又开始推，但我们已经落在后面了。 玫瑰飞走了。 我朝前看了看，看到那朵玫瑰就要撞上人行道上的什么笨重的金属东西了。 “当心!”我叫道。“你会坠毁的！”但为时已晚。 玫瑰的滑板撞到了金属块上，滑板翻了，玫瑰掉了下来。 就在我们撞上那块金属块之前，妮娜不得不用四只蹄子刹车来阻止我们。 现在我可以看到

that it was in the shape of a pickle. It was a pickle paperweight that someone had dropped in the park. "AHA!" I shouted. "I have just solved two BIG DEAL mysteries at the same time!"
