3. Me and My Peeps

3 Me and My Peeps After we drove a million hundred miles, my dad pulled the car into the driveway of a gigantic mansion. It looked like the White House. "WOW," I said, which is "MOM" upside down. "Who lives in this place, the president of the United States?" "No, this is Mayor Hubble's house," my mom told me. Mayor Hubble! He used to be the mayor of our town. But then he got in trouble by stealing money. I heard he was in jail. "The mayor cares so deeply about our town," Mom told me, "that he wanted to have an Easter celebration at his house even though he can't be here himself."

我和我的窥视者我们开了一百万英里之后，爸爸把车停在了一座巨大大厦的车道上。 它看起来像白宫。 “哇，”我说，这是“妈妈”的上下颠倒。 “谁住在这里，美国总统吗？”“不，这是哈勃市长的房子，”我妈妈告诉我。 市长哈勃望远镜!他曾经是我们镇的镇长。 但后来他因为偷钱惹上了麻烦。 我听说他在监狱里。“市长非常关心我们的小镇，”妈妈告诉我，“他想在他家举行复活节庆祝活动，尽管他不能亲自来这里。”

We walked inside. The place looked like a museum. There were paintings of Mayor Hubble hanging on the walls, and lots of servants too. Well, the servants weren't hanging on the walls. That would be weird.

我们走了进去。这个地方看起来像个博物馆。 墙上挂着哈勃市长的画像，还有许多仆人。 仆人们并没有挂在墙上。 那会很奇怪。

There were so many servants that I think some of the servants had servants. And they were all wearing tuxedos. Hey, how come guys in tuxedos look like penguins? What's up with that? The place was really fancy. I was afraid to touch anything or sit in a chair because a SWAT team might come running in and arrest me. Some musicians wearing tuxedos were playing that song "A-Tisket, A-Tasket," which makes no sense at all. What's a tasket? I bet they just made up that word because they couldn't think of anything else that rhymed with "basket." "Welcome to Hubble Manor," one of those servant guys said to us. "If I can do anything to make your visit here more enjoyable, please do not hesitate to ask." "Where are the Peeps?" I asked. "That's rude, A.J.!" my mom told me.

仆人太多了，我想有些仆人还有仆人。 他们都穿着燕尾服。 嘿，为什么穿燕尾服的男人看起来像企鹅？ 这是怎么回事？那地方真不错。 我不敢碰任何东西，也不敢坐在椅子上，因为特警队可能会冲进来逮捕我。 一些穿着燕尾服的音乐家正在演奏“A-Tisket, A-Tasket”这首歌，这完全没有道理。 什么是任务？我敢说这个词是他们编出来的，因为他们想不出任何和“篮子”押韵的词。 “欢迎来到哈勃庄园，”其中一个仆人对我们说。 如果我能做些什么使您在这里的访问更愉快，请尽管开口。 “窥视者在哪里？”我问。 “这太无礼了，aj !”妈妈对我说。

"You don't ask where the Peeps are! They'll give out Peeps when they're good and ready to give out Peeps." Mom was really mad. We walked around for a few minutes until some other servant guy came over. He was carrying a plate of food. "Or derves?" he asked. I didn't know what "or derves" were, but they looked yucky. "Man, you could get lost in this place," my dad said as he picked up one of those or derve things. "Hubble Manor has thirty-four bedrooms," said the or derve guy, "a library, a helicopter pad, twenty-three bathrooms..." Twenty-three bathrooms?! Was he joking? My house only has two bathrooms. Mayor Hubble must have to go to the bathroom all

“你不要问窥视者在哪里！”他们会在准备好发棒棒糖的时候发棒棒糖。” 妈妈真的很生气。我们走了几分钟，直到另一个仆人走了过来。 他端着一盘食物。 “还是应得的？”他问。我不知道“或应得”是什么，但它们看起来很恶心。 “天哪，在这个地方你可能会迷路的，”爸爸一边说一边拿起了其中一件值钱的东西。 “哈勃庄园有三十四间卧室，”那个家伙说，“一个图书馆，一个直升机停机坪，二十三间浴室……” 23浴室? !他是在开玩笑吗？ 我的房子只有两个浴室。 哈勃市长一定要去上厕所

the time. He should see a doctor about that instead of putting bathrooms all over his house." and four half bathrooms," said the or derve guy. "Half bathrooms?" I asked. "Why would anybody want half of a bathroom? What could you do with half a toilet bowl?" "A half bathroom is a powder room, sir," the guy told me. Powder room? "Mayor Hubble needs a whole room to hold powder?" I asked. "Why can't he just keep powder in a little box like normal people?" "Hmmm, most amusing," said the or derve guy as he walked away. "If you folks need anything, I am at your disposal." Disposal? What was he talking about? I didn't bring a garbage can with me.

时间。他应该去看医生，而不是在他的房子里到处建浴室。” 还有四个半浴室。” “半浴室?”我问。 “为什么会有人想要半个浴室？” 半个马桶你能做什么？”“半浴室是化妆间，先生，”那人告诉我。 粉的房间吗?“哈勃市长需要一整个房间来装火药？”我问。 “他为什么不能像正常人一样把粉末放在小盒子里呢？”“嗯，太有趣了，”那个正直的家伙说着走开了。 “如果你们需要什么，我随时为你们效劳。” 处理吗?他在说什么？ 我没带垃圾桶。
