Chapter 17

Chapter 17 Sheesh! Riding like the wind and listening to thundering hooves can really give you a headache! Even worse, just when we thought we were about to catch the sloth, the squeaking stopped! Nina skidded to a halt and listened carefully. "Nope," she said. "He stopped." "He must be nearby!" I said. "Maybe he went into one of these buildings!" I looked around. There was a theater showing Sloth Luv Story. A cafeteria was featuring "All the sloth food you can eat!" A beauty parlor was advertising "Let us paint your sloth toe claws in rainbow glitter!" A store was selling "Pinstripe suits for the well- dressed sloth!" A newsboy was yelling, "Sloth News! Get your Sloth News!"

第十七章嘘！像风一样骑马，听着雷鸣般的马蹄声，真的会让你头疼！更糟糕的是，就在我们以为要抓住树懒的时候，吱吱声停止了！尼娜刹住脚步，仔细听着。 “不，”她说。”他停了下来。“ “他一定就在附近！”我说。 “也许他进了其中一栋楼！”我环顾四周。 有一家剧院正在放映树懒的爱情故事。 一家自助餐厅的特色是“树懒食物应有尽有！”一家美容院正在做广告：“让我们把你的树懒脚趾涂上彩虹亮片！”一家商店正在出售“为穿着讲究的树懒准备的细条纹西装！”一个报童喊道：“树懒新闻！得到你的树懒新闻！”

And a dog show.

还有狗狗表演。

"AHA!" I shouted and it felt really good to yell "AHA" again. "I know where he is! He's hiding in the—" "Dog show?" asked Nina. "Yes," I said. "How did you know?" "Stolen entry form," said Nina. "Well done, Nina!" I said. "Let's go!" Nina galloped into the dog show. "Wow, that's one ugly dog," said the dog selling tickets. He pointed at Nina. Nina ate the tickets and kept going.

“啊哈!”我喊了一声，再次喊“啊哈”的感觉真的很好。 “我知道他在哪儿！”他躲在——”“狗狗秀？”尼娜问。 “是的，”我说。“你怎么知道的？”“报名表被偷了，”尼娜说。 “干得好，尼娜！”我说。 “我们走吧!”尼娜策马跑进了狗展。 “哇，那只狗真丑，”卖票的狗说。 他指着尼娜。尼娜把票吃了，继续往前走。

We burst into the main arena. There were hundreds of dogs! Every one with beautiful makeup and lovely fluffy fur! And every one different! One of them must be the sloth. But which one? There was so much lovely fluffy fur I couldn't tell! There must be some way to separate a sloth from all these dogs...

我们冲进了主竞技场。 有好几百只狗！每个人都有漂亮的妆容和可爱的毛茸茸的皮毛！而且每个人都不一样！其中一个一定是树懒。 但是哪一个呢？有那么多可爱的绒毛，我都看不出来！一定有办法把树懒和这些狗区分开来……

"AHA!" I yelled. "I've got it." I grabbed the judge's microphone. "SIT!" Every dog and one sloth sat. The audience applauded, and the judges scribbled on their clipboards. "SPEAK!" Every dog and one sloth barked. The audience applauded, and the judges scribbled on their clipboards. "ROLL OVER!" Every dog and one sloth rolled over. The audience applauded, and the judges scribbled on their clipboards. "HANG UPSIDE DOWN!" Every dog just sat there, but the sloth nimbly jumped onto the big DOG SHOW banner and hung upside down. The audience applauded, and the judges scribbled on their clipboards.

“啊哈!”我喊道。“我知道了。” 我抓起法官的麦克风。 “坐!”每只狗和一只树懒都坐了下来。 观众们拍手叫好，评委们在写字板上乱写乱画。 “说话!”每只狗和一只树懒都在叫。 观众们拍手叫好，评委们在写字板上乱写乱画。 “翻滚吧!”每只狗和一只树懒都翻了个身。 观众们拍手叫好，评委们在写字板上乱写乱画。 “倒挂着！”每只狗都只是坐在那里，但树懒敏捷地跳到大狗展横幅上，倒挂着。 观众们拍手叫好，评委们在写字板上乱写乱画。
