捕蝇草系列 · 2 The President's Mane Is Missing
Chapter 19 My phone rang. "Flyclap! Get down here! Statue's ready!" yelled the very familiar, very rude voice of President Horse G. Horse. "My name is—," I began. But he had already hung up. Nina pushed me down to the Capitol Building.
我的电话响了。“Flyclap !快下来!雕像准备好了!”马·G·总统非常熟悉、非常粗鲁的声音喊道。 马。“我的名字是——”我开始说。 但他已经挂了电话。 妮娜把我推到了国会大厦。
There was the enormous statue of President Horse G. Horse, and perched on its back was an even taller statue covered with an enormous tarp. The whole area was packed with turkey news reporters, donkey congressmen, sheep sculptors, duck Secret Service agents, a sloth eating a hot dog, and nine geese in their underwear. (These were the Supreme Court Justices. You may recall that their Robe Depository had been destroyed.) Thousands and thousands of other animal citizens were there, too. Nina pushed me up to the Capitol steps, where the President and Vanessa Cowcow were waiting.
那里有马·G总统的巨大雕像。 马的背上还有一座更高的雕像,上面盖着一块巨大的油布。 整个地区挤满了火鸡新闻记者、驴国会议员、羊雕塑家、鸭子特勤局特工、一只吃热狗的树懒和九只穿着内衣的鹅。 (这些是最高法院的法官。 你可能还记得他们的长袍仓库被毁了。)成千上万的其他动物公民也在那里。 尼娜把我推到国会大厦的台阶上,总统和凡妮莎·考克正在那里等我。
"Hurry! Hurry! The alien space fly is about to attack the White House! That's where I live!" "OK... unveil the sculpture!" shouted Vanessa Cowcow, and a team of oxen began pulling on the ropes attached to the tarp. Finally it fell free, and the world's most amazingly beautiful statue was revealed. It was me looking extremely brave... and, of course, handsome. But would it work? Would it really scare away the giant alien space fly? A loud roaring buzz gave us our answer! The mighty insect was zooming in close to get a good look! Then the giant alien space fly made a thunderous hacking and gagging sound.
“快点!快点!外星飞船要攻击白宫了!那就是我住的地方!”“好吧…… 为雕塑揭幕!”瓦妮莎·奶牛喊道,一队牛开始拉系在防水布上的绳子。 最后它自由了,世界上最美丽的雕像出现了。 我看起来非常勇敢…… 当然,还有帅气。但这能奏效吗? 它真的能吓跑巨大的外星太空苍蝇吗? 一个响亮的嗡嗡声给了我们答案!这只巨大的昆虫正凑近看个清楚!然后,巨大的外星太空苍蝇发出了雷鸣般的声音。
Then it turned skyward and zoomed away... up, up, up through the atmosphere and into space... leaving our planet in peace forever.
然后它转向天空,迅速飞走了…… 向上,向上,向上穿过大气层,进入太空…… 让我们的星球永远和平。
