07 Bucket-List Buddies

Bucket-List Buddies On Friday after school, Judy was just about to cross off Learn a musical instrument from her list in pen when Stink said, "Stop! You can't actually cross that one off." "Why not?" "Because no way is the kitchen table an instrument." ROAR! Was Stink right? It was true-not-false that she had not/hadn't played an actual drum. But if she couldn't cross this one off, her kick-the-bucket list was a big fat flop so far. "I'm calling Grandma Lou," she told him.

星期五放学后，朱迪正准备用笔从她的遗愿清单上划掉“学一门乐器”，臭臭说：“停！你不能把它划掉。” “为什么不?”“因为厨房的桌子绝不可能是一种乐器。” 咆哮!臭臭是对的吗？她没有真正打过鼓，这是对的，不是错的。 但如果她不能完成这一项，她的遗愿清单到目前为止就是一个巨大的失败。 “我要给卢奶奶打电话，”她告诉他。

Judy told Grandma Lou all about her list. Even though she had gotten triple stickers on her homework, learning to cartwheel was a bust, she was nowhere near going to Antarctica, and she hadn't actually played a drum. Grandma Lou reminded Judy that a bucket list takes time. "I'm helping to raise money for books at the library. They lost a lot of kids' books when the library flooded during the hurricane. I've been working on it for a long time, but we haven't reached our goal yet. So don't give up, Jelly Bean. I bet you'll be playing a real drum in no time."

朱迪把她的清单告诉了卢奶奶。 尽管她的作业上贴了三张贴纸，但学习侧手翻是件很失败的事，她离去南极洲还差得远，而且她还没有真正打过鼓。 卢奶奶提醒朱迪，遗愿清单需要时间。 “我正在为图书馆的图书筹款。 飓风期间图书馆被淹，他们丢失了许多儿童书籍。 我已经做了很长时间了，但我们还没有达到目标。 所以不要放弃，软糖。 我打赌你很快就会成为真正的鼓手了。”

"Don't give up. Got it," said Judy. "The thing about a bucket list is... getting there is half the fun. It's not just about crossing things off the list." "Have fun. Got it," said Judy. "Tell you what," said Grandma Lou. "There's a dude ranch not far from where I live. Why don't I pick you up Saturday and take you there for a horseback ride?" "Saturday? As in the day after today? As in tomorrow?" "As in tomorrow." Judy put down the phone and tried to cartwheel through the house. Wheee... oops! Plop. Rats! It was more like an uncartwheel.

“不要放弃。明白了，”朱迪说。 “遗愿清单的意义在于…… 到达那里是一半的乐趣。 这不仅仅是勾掉清单上的事情。” “玩得开心。明白了，”朱迪说。 “告诉你吧，”卢奶奶说。 “离我住的地方不远有一个度假牧场。 我星期六来接你，带你去那儿骑马怎么样？”“周六? 就像后天一样？ 明天吗？”“就像明天一样。” 朱迪放下电话，试着侧手翻着穿过房子。 Wheee……哦!扑通一声地。老鼠!它更像是一个未侧翻的车轮。

Judy told Mom and Dad about the dude ranch. Bad move. Stink wanted to go, too. Judy tried to protest. "But it's for my kick-thebucket list." "So?" said Stink. "Who wouldn't want to go to a dude ranch and dress up in cowboy boots and a ten-gallon hat and... Grandma Lou's my grandma, too." It was no use. Stink called Grandma Lou and before you could say horse feathers, Stink was

朱迪把度假牧场的事告诉了爸妈。 糟糕的举动。臭臭也想去。 朱迪试图抗议。“但这是我的遗愿清单。” “那又怎样？”臭臭说。“谁不想去度假牧场，穿着牛仔靴，戴着一顶十加仑的帽子…… 卢奶奶也是我的奶奶。” 这没有用。臭臭叫卢奶奶还没来得及说马毛，臭臭就

going, too. Once they got upstairs, Judy said, "Listen, Stinkerbell, since you're coming to Grandma Lou's, you have to call me Queen Judy all weekend." "Not!" said Stink. "Then I bet you five dollars toward my Antarctica trip that I can get you to call me Queen Judy three times before the weekend is up. Starting right now." "No way am I ever calling you Queen Judy!" "That's one," said Judy, grinning. "You already owe me one dollar and sixty-six cents." Saturday at last! Dude Ranch Day. Ride-a-Horse and Kick-the-Bucket-List Day. All morning, Stink galloped around on a

也会。他们一上楼，朱迪就说：“听着，臭铃铛，既然你要来卢奶奶家，整个周末你都得叫我朱迪女王。” “不！”臭臭说。“那我跟你赌五美元，赌我去南极洲旅行，我能让你在周末结束前叫我三次朱迪女王。 从现在开始。”“我绝对不会叫你朱迪女王！”“这是一个，”朱迪笑着说。 “你已经欠我1美元66美分了。” 星期六终于来了！度假牧场日。 骑马和完成遗愿清单日。 整个上午，臭臭都骑着一匹马
