10 The Declaration of UN-Independence

The Declaration of UN-Independence On the bus ride home, Rocky told Judy how much he liked her book report. "When I first saw you looking like a pilgrim, I was sure it would be boring. But it was WAY not boring." "Thanks," said Judy. "I hope I get a way good grade and it shows my Mom and Dad how grown-up and responsible I am." "Just think," Rocky said, "how super scary it must have been when Sybil rode through the woods... and it was dark and robbers were all around." "But she had to stop the British from burning down the whole town of Danbury!"

在回家的公共汽车上，洛基告诉朱迪他是多么喜欢她的读书报告。 “当我第一次看到你像个朝圣者的样子时，我就知道这会很无聊。 但这一点也不无聊。” “谢谢，”朱迪说。“我希望我能取得一个很好的成绩，这可以向我的父母展示我是多么成熟和负责任。” “想想看，”洛奇说，“当西比尔骑马穿过树林时，那该有多可怕…… 当时天很黑，到处都是强盗。” “但她必须阻止英国人烧毁整个丹伯里镇！”

"Yeah. But if she got caught, the bad guys might think she was a spy!" Rocky said. Judy and Rocky talked about Sybil all the way home. When they got off the bus, Judy started walking, then said, "Oops, I almost forgot. I rode my bike to the bus stop today." "Okay. See ya!" called Rocky as he loped off

“是的。但如果她被抓住了，坏人可能会认为她是间谍！”岩石说。 朱迪和洛奇在回家的路上一直在谈论西比尔。 当他们下车时，朱迪开始走路，然后说：“哎呀，我差点忘了。 我今天骑自行车去了公共汽车站。” “好吧。再见！”洛奇一边跑一边叫道

toward his house. Judy unlocked her bike. Behind her, the doors of the bus hissed and closed, and the brakes squeaked as it pulled away from the curb. Wait... something was not right. Stink? STINK! Stink did not get off the bus! Stink had never NOT gotten off the bus before. Judy could not think. She was sure she'd seen him get ON the bus. Should she yell for help? Race home and get Mom? "HEY!" yelled Judy. "Mr. Bus Driver! HEY!" she shouted. The bus was already driving off down the street. WWBFD? What would Ben Franklin do? Go to bed early? Save a penny? Judy did not think

朝他的房子走去。朱迪打开自行车的锁。 在她身后，公共汽车的门嘶嘶地关上了，当它驶离路边时，刹车吱吱作响。 等待……有些地方不对劲。 臭吗?臭!臭臭没下车！臭臭以前从来没有下不了车。 朱迪无法思考。她确信她看见他上了公共汽车。 她应该大声呼救吗？跑回家接妈妈？ “嘿！”朱迪喊道。“巴士司机先生！”嘿！”她喊道。 公共汽车已经沿着街道开去了。 WWBFD吗?本·富兰克林会怎么做？ 早点睡觉？省一分钱？ 朱迪不认为

sugar packet sayings could help her now. There was only one thing to do. Chase the bus! Mom would worry if she didn't come right home, but there was no time to go tell her. Not when her brother was being kidnapped by a runaway bus. She, Judy Moody, had to get her brother back. No matter how stinky he was, he was still her brother. Judy hitched up her pilgrim skirt and hopped on her bike. She pedaled hard. She pedaled fast. She rode like the wind. She rode like Sybil on Star. She chased that bus down the street and around the corner and up the hill and down the hill. Cars whizzed by. Whoosh! Dirt flew in her face. She swerved to miss a big hole in the road.

现在，糖袋里的谚语对她有帮助了。 只有一件事可做。 追公共汽车！如果她不马上回家，妈妈会担心的，但是没有时间去告诉她。 她哥哥被一辆失控的巴士绑架了。 她，朱迪·穆迪，必须把她的哥哥找回来。 不管他有多臭，他仍然是她的哥哥。 朱迪撩起朝圣裙，跳上自行车。 她使劲蹬车。她骑得很快。 她骑得飞快。她骑着马就像西比尔骑着星。 她追着那辆公共汽车跑过街道，拐过街角，上了山又下了山。 汽车呼啸而过。嗖!尘土飞到她脸上。 她突然转向，没撞上路上的一个大洞。

What if she fell off her bike and broke her head? Judy kept riding. She tooted her horn. She yelled, "HEY! Mr. Bus! My brother's on there. GIVE! ME! BACK! MY! BROTHER!" The bus kept going. A dog barked at her. What if a big meany dog got loose and chased her? What if she got bitten by a wild dog? A wild dog with RABIES? Judy pedaled faster. Wind flapped her skirt and whipped her thirteen curls every which way. A big green garbage truck screamed by, way too close. Judy's wheels wobbled. Her handlebars shook. The truck honked at her, wooomp, deep like a foghorn. Her heart pounded. What if she got run over by a P.U. garbage truck? She rode her bike all the way to Bacon

如果她从自行车上摔下来摔破了头怎么办？ 朱迪继续骑行。她吹响了喇叭。 她喊道：“嘿！总线先生!我哥哥在上面。 给!我!回来了!我的天!哥哥!”公共汽车继续行驶。 一只狗对着她狂吠。如果一只大狗跑出来追她怎么办？ 如果她被野狗咬了怎么办？ 一只得了狂犬病的野狗？朱迪蹬得更快了。 风拍打着她的裙子，把她的十三卷卷发吹向四面八方。 一辆绿色的大垃圾车呼啸而过，离得太近了。 朱迪的轮子摇晃着。她的车把摇晃着。 卡车向她鸣笛，低沉如雾号。 她的心怦怦直跳。要是她被警察撞了怎么办 垃圾车?她一路骑自行车去了培根

Avenue. Traffic! Cars! Trucks! Red lights! Then she saw it. The bus! The school bus, bright as a big cheese in the middle of the road. It had crossed the intersection and was heading up the hill on the other side of Third Street. Mom and Dad would FREAK if she crossed the busy street in the middle of traffic by herself. But they might freak more if she came home

大道。交通!汽车!卡车!红灯!然后她看到了。 公共汽车!校车，在路中间亮得像一块大奶酪。 它穿过十字路口，向第三街另一边的山上驶去。 如果她在车流中独自穿过繁忙的街道，爸爸妈妈会生气的。 但如果她回家，他们可能会更害怕
