3 HELP MUH!

HELP MUH! On Saturday, Bean was unfortunately being swallowed by quicksand. First her feet—slurp!— and then her legs—slurp!—and then her middle —slurp! Inch by inch, she was sucked to her doom. It was a tragic scene. Nancy came into the living room and unrolled her yoga mat. Bean struggled for survival.

帮助mu !星期六，比恩不幸被流沙吞没了。 首先是她的脚——哗！——然后她的腿——“哗”的一声！然后她的中间发出一声！一寸一寸地，她被吸向了末日。 这是一个悲惨的场面。南希走进客厅，展开她的瑜伽垫。 比恩为生存而挣扎。

Nancy held her leg behind her back. Oh no! The quicksand was up to Bean's shoulders! It was just a matter of time. Nancy held her other leg behind her back. Bean was a goner. Nancy bent in half until her head touched her knees. But wait! Where there was life, there was hope! Bean used the last of her strength to leap to freedom.

南希把腿放在背后。 噢,不!流沙快到比恩的肩膀了！这只是时间问题。 南希把另一条腿放在背后。 比恩是一个失败者。南希弯成两半，直到头碰到膝盖。 但是等等!有生命就有希望！比恩用尽最后的力气向自由一跃。

Good golly, what a leap! The tips of her fingers scraped the edge of a nearby raft. She would be saved, if only she could stretch just a little farther, like this: Eeeeeeep! Her fingers closed around the life-giving raft. She was saved! "Get your grubby hands off my yoga mat!" puffed Nancy, upside down. "Wa-tuh! Wa-tuh!" croaked Bean. Now she was dying of thirst. It was just one thing after another out here in the jungle. "Help muh!" Muh was the same thing as me, only sadder. "Go away!" Nancy huffed. Bean groaned. Nancy fell over. "Bean! That was a perfect downward-dog and you ruined it. Mom! Bean's driving me bonkers!" "Stop doing whatever you're doing, Bean," called their mom from another room. "Okay!" yelled Bean. What a good kid she was! She was so good, she decided to help Nancy. "You know, that doesn't look anything

天哪，多么大的跳跃啊！她的指尖擦到了附近一只木筏的边缘。 她会得救的，只要她能再伸展一点，就像这样：咿咿呀！她的手指紧紧握住了救生木筏。 她得救了！“把你的脏手从我的瑜伽垫上拿开！”南希喘着气说，头朝下。 “Wa-tuh !哇——哇！”比恩嘶哑地说。 现在她快要渴死了。 丛林里的事情一件接着一件。 “帮助mu !”他和我一样，只是更悲伤。 “走开!”南希怒喝道。豆呻吟着。 南希摔倒了。“豆!那是个完美的下犬式，被你毁了。 妈妈!豆子快把我逼疯了！”“别做你正在做的事，豆子。”他们的妈妈从另一个房间喊道。 “好吧！”比恩喊道。她真是个好孩子！她是如此的好，她决定帮助南希。 “你知道，这看起来没什么

like a dog," Bean said helpfully. "I think you're doing it wrong. Here's a dog." She got on her hands and knees and panted. "A-yerp! A-yerp, yerp, yerp!" Nancy fell over again. "STOP MESSING ME UP! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Bean stopped barking. "I thought yoga was supposed to make you calm." "MO-OMM!" bellowed Nancy. She rushed out of the room. Sheesh. Bean rolled onto Nancy's yoga mat and lay there. At least someone around here was calm.

像狗一样，”比恩帮助地说。 “我觉得你做错了。 这是一只狗。”她跪在地上喘着气。 “A-yerp !是的，是的，是的！”南希又摔倒了。 “别把我弄得一团糟！”放开我！”比恩停止了吠叫。 “我以为瑜伽能让你平静下来。” “妈——妈！”南希吼道。她冲出房间。 震惊或印象深刻。比恩滚到南希的瑜伽垫上，躺在那里。 至少这里有人很冷静。

"Bean!" There was Bean's mom. She seemed to be frowning. "If you can't leave Nancy alone, you'll have to go outside until she's done." She glared some more. "Can you leave Nancy alone?" A trick question if Bean had ever heard one. "It's my house, too," she began. "Out you go!" said her mom, pointing to the backyard. "What?" yelped Bean. "I was helping Nancy. And I was here first!" "Outside, Bean," said her mother, still pointing. "You guys are ganging up on me! Two against one! It's not fair!" huffed Bean. "Who said life was fair?" asked Bean's mom. "Blame it on Bean!" huffed Bean. "That's the motto of this family!" She thumped down on the back steps. "There I am, lying on the floor,

“豆!”是比恩的妈妈。 她似乎在皱着眉头。 “如果你不能让南希一个人呆着，你就得到外面去，直到她做完为止。” 她又瞪了他几眼。“你能别烦南希吗？”如果比恩听过这样的问题的话，这是一个诡计。 “这也是我的房子，”她开始说。 “你滚出去！”妈妈指着后院说。 “什么？”比恩叫道。“我在帮南希。 而且是我先来的！”“出去，比恩。”她妈妈说，仍然指着。 “你们这些家伙联合起来对付我！”二对一！这不公平！”比恩生气地说。 “谁说生活是公平的？”比恩的妈妈问。 “都怪比恩！”比恩生气地说。 “这是我们家的座右铭！”她重重地落在后面的台阶上。 “我躺在地板上，

minding my own business, and all of a sudden, Nancy comes in, and bing bang bong, Bean's a criminal!" Bean turned toward the house and yelled (but not very loud), "Just because she's older doesn't make her right!" Then she slapped the step with her hand—ow!—and wished for the millionth time that she wasn't a little sister. "Bean! Are you there?" It was Ivy, on the other side of the fence. "Ivy! Come on in, old buddy, old pal!" yelled Bean. Just in the nick of time! A friend! Ivy came charging through the gate. "I've got it! The cure!"

我正忙着自己的事，突然，南希进来了，砰，砰，比恩是个罪犯！”比恩转身冲着屋子喊道（但声音不大）：“不能因为她年纪大就说她是对的！”然后她用手拍了拍台阶——啊！——无数次地希望她不是我的小妹妹。 “豆!你在吗？”是篱笆另一边的艾薇打来的。 “常春藤!进来吧，老伙计，老伙计！”比恩喊道。 来得正是时候！一个朋友!艾薇从大门冲了进来。 “我找到了！”治愈!”
