9 A WORLD OF TROUBLE

A WORLD OF TROUBLE "We're going to starve," said Bean.

“我们要饿死了，”比恩说。

"I guess we could eat spiders," said Ivy. "Birds do it." Bean shivered. She didn't want to eat spiders. All those hairy legs. They were quiet. Now that she had started, Bean couldn't stop thinking about spiders. "Ivy?" "Yeah?" "Do you ever worry that there's a giant spider who's the grandma of all the spiders you've ever squashed and that she's going to come and get you in the middle of the night?" "I worry that there's a big potato bug inside my bed," said Ivy. "Not spiders so much." Bean squinted into the shadows. There were probably spiders crawling all over the attic. Spiders she couldn't see. Something brushed against her leg, and Bean jumped to her feet. "This is an emergency," said Bean. "This calls for action." "Okay," agreed Ivy. "What action?"

“我想我们可以吃蜘蛛，”艾薇说。 “是鸟干的。”Bean颤抖。 她不想吃蜘蛛。 那些毛茸茸的腿。他们很安静。 现在她已经开始了，比恩无法停止对蜘蛛的思考。 “艾薇?”“是吗?”“你有没有担心过，有一只巨大的蜘蛛，是你压扁过的所有蜘蛛的祖母，她会在半夜来抓你？”“我担心我的床上有一只大土豆虫，”艾薇说。 “不太喜欢蜘蛛。”比恩眯着眼睛望向阴影。 阁楼上可能爬满了蜘蛛。 蜘蛛她看不见。有什么东西擦过她的腿，比恩跳了起来。 “这是紧急情况，”比恩说。 “这需要行动起来。”“好吧，”艾薇同意了。 “什么行动?”

Bean gulped. "I think we need to scream for help." "Help from who?" asked Ivy. "Well," said Bean. "Nancy."

Bean一饮而尽。“我想我们需要大声呼救。” “谁的帮助？”艾薇问。 “嗯，”比恩说。“南希”。

"She is the babysitter," said Ivy. "She's supposed to take care of you." "Right!" said Bean. "She's getting paid to take care of me." "Okay," said Ivy. "Let's yell for her. One." "Two," said Bean. "Three!" they said together. And then they screamed, They had to scream for a million years. That's what it felt like anyway. Finally, they heard Nancy. Nancy was yelling, too. "BEAN? WHERE ARE YOU? WHAT'S HAPPENED? ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" They could hear doors slamming and Nancy's feet

“她是保姆，”艾薇说。 “她应该照顾你的。” “对！”比恩说。“她拿钱来照顾我。” “好吧，”艾薇说。“让我们喊她。 一个。”“两个。”比恩说。“三个！”他们一起说。 然后他们尖叫，他们必须尖叫一百万年。 这就是我的感觉。 最后，他们听到了南希的声音。 南希也在大喊大叫。“豆? 你在哪里？发生了什么事? 你没事吧？”他们能听到关上门的声音和南希的脚步声

running. "ARE YOU OKAY? ARE YOU IN THE BATHROOM?" Once Bean knew that she was going to be rescued, she stopped feeling spiders on her legs. After a minute, it was even kind of fun to hear Nancy freaking out. Bean felt cheerful again. "I've got an idea," she said, "Let's scream, but no words this time, just a scream." "She's going to have a heart attack," Ivy said. "AAAAAAAHHHHHH," they screeched. "OH NO!" Nancy shrieked. Bean took a deep breath and screeched, "WE'RE STUCK IN THE ATTIC! HELP!"

运行。“你没事吧？”你在洗手间吗？”当比恩知道自己会被救出来时，她不再觉得腿上有蜘蛛了。 过了一会儿，听到南希抓狂的声音还挺有趣的。 比恩又高兴起来。“我有个主意，”她说，“让我们尖叫吧，但这次不要说话，只是尖叫。” “她会心脏病发作的，”艾薇说。 “啊——啊——啊——”他们尖叫着。 “哦,不!”南希尖叫起来。比恩深吸了一口气，尖叫道：“我们被困在阁楼里了！救命!”

"Bean! Where are you?" Nancy opened the closet door. "WE'RE UP HERE! HELP!" "You're up there?" said Nancy in a surprised voice. "How'd you get up there?" Suddenly she didn't sound very worried. "HELP US! WE'RE STARVING! BUGS ARE EATING US!" hollered Bean. "Is that Ivy, too?" Nancy asked. "What's she doing here?" Nancy was beginning to sound more grumpy than scared. Ivy and Bean looked at each other. "HELLLLLP!" they howled. "Okay, okay. I'm getting the ladder," grumbled Nancy. "Hang on." She padded away and came back a minute later. "Sheesh. This thing is heavy." "Quiiiick," moaned Bean. "We're dying." She wanted Nancy to be leaping up the ladder. Something crashed into something else below them. "Ouch!" said Nancy. Then she said a bad word. Ivy and Bean giggled.

“豆!你在哪儿？”南希打开了壁橱的门。 “我们在上面！”救命!”“你在上面？”南希惊讶地问。 “你是怎么上去的？”突然，她听起来不那么担心了。 “帮助我们!我们挨饿!虫子在吃我们！”憨豆大叫。 “那也是艾薇吗？”南希问。 “她在这儿干什么？”南希听起来与其说是害怕，不如说是暴躁。 艾薇和比恩面面相觑。 “哈——哈——哈！”“好吧,好吧。 “我去拿梯子。”南希嘟囔着。 “稍等。”她轻轻地走开了，一分钟后又回来了。 “天哪。这东西很重。” “快！”比恩呻吟道。“我们死。” 她想让南希跳上梯子。 有东西撞上了下面的东西。 “哎哟！”南希说。然后她说了一句脏话。 艾薇和比恩咯咯地笑。
