10 4-Ever After

4-EVER AFTER Camp Flaming Arrow was over. Harlan and Franny had been the last to go. Their dad was coming to pick them up the next day. "I'm going to ask him if we can come next year," Harlan said. "But this isn't a real camp," Franny said. "Is it?" Bean tried to look mysterious. "Time will tell." After they had said good-bye, Bean turned to the tent. "I guess we'd better take this thing down now."

火焰箭营结束后。 哈兰和弗兰尼是最后走的。 第二天，他们的爸爸要来接他们。 “我要问他我们明年能不能去，”哈兰说。 “但这不是一个真正的营地，”弗兰尼说。 “是吗?”比恩试图让自己看起来很神秘。 “时间会证明一切。”他们道别后，比恩转向帐篷。 “我想我们最好现在就把这东西拿下来。”

"Guess so," said Ivy. She pulled on a curtain. Nancy was lying inside. Bean stared. "What the heck are you doing?" "You spied on me, so I spied on you," said Nancy. "I wasn't spying on you," Bean said. "I was just sort of watching." "Did you like our rou-tine?" asked Nancy. "It was great!" lied Bean. "It looked super- fun." Nancy sighed. "Actually, it was kind of boring." "Yeah," agreed Bean. Nancy sighed

“我想是的，”艾薇说。她拉上窗帘。 南希躺在里面。Bean盯着。 “你到底在干什么？”“你监视我，所以我监视你，”南希说。 “我没有监视你，”比恩说。 “我只是在看。” “你喜欢我们的节目吗？”南希问。 “太棒了！”比恩撒谎道。 “看起来超级好玩。”南希叹了口气。 “实际上，它有点无聊。” “是啊，”比恩同意道。南希叹了口气

again. "I thought it was going to be fun. But then it was just the same thing over and over," she said. "Couldn't you quit?" asked Ivy. "I would have quit." "Nope," said Nancy. "Once you started, you had to finish. That was the rule." "That's a terrible rule," said Bean. "Our camp didn't have rules like that," said Ivy. Nancy smiled. "You guys had a pretend camp?" "It wasn't pretend!" Ivy said. "Whatever," said Nancy. She looked at Ivy's dress. "How'd you get all wet?" "I was Boudicca, Queen of the Britons," said Ivy proudly. "A Great Woman of History." "You had Great Women of History?" said Nancy, surprised. "So did we!"

再一次。“我以为会很有趣。 但后来就是同样的事情一遍又一遍地发生，”她说。 “你不能辞职吗？”艾薇问。 “我早就辞职了。”“不，”南希说。 “一旦开始，你就必须完成。 这是规矩。”“这是一个可怕的规定，”比恩说。 “我们的营地没有这样的规定，”艾薇说。 南希笑了。“你们有一个假装的营地？”“这不是假装的！”艾薇说。 “无所谓，”南希说。她看着艾薇的裙子。 “你怎么全身都湿了？”“我是布迪卡，英国女王。”艾薇自豪地说。 “一位伟大的历史女性。” “你们有《伟大的历史女性》？”南希惊讶地说。 “我们也是！”

"We fell in Monkey Fountain," Bean said. "Boudicca's whole army fell in." "We just had a slide show," said Nancy. "Slide shows and rules," said Bean. "Sounds like school."

“我们掉进了猴子喷泉，”比恩说。 “布迪卡的整个军队都倒下了。” “我们刚刚放了一个幻灯片，”南希说。 “幻灯片和规则，”比恩说。 “听起来像在学校。”

"It was kind of like school," said Nancy. "Do this, do that." "Yuck," said Ivy. Nancy looked between Ivy and Bean. "Was it just the two of you in your camp?" "No. There were lots of kids here," said Ivy. "We were the counselors." "We sort of followed this," said Bean, taking out the Girl Power 4-Ever brochure. "We were trying to be like Girl Power 4-Ever." Nancy sneered. "I don't think so." "We did all the same stuff!" said Bean. "We did crafts and nature study and first aid!" "What crafts did you do?" asked Nancy. "Friendship bracelets," Bean said. "That's how we started, anyway." "But we ended up learning how to escape from ropes," Ivy went on. "Like Houdini." Nancy burst out laughing. "You goons." "We're not goons!" said Bean. "It was fun!" "You want us to show you?" asked Ivy. "We can show you how to do it."

“这有点像学校，”南希说。 “做这个，做那个。”“恶心，”艾薇说。 南希看了看艾薇和比恩。 “只有你们两个在你们的营地吗？”“没有。 这里有很多孩子，”艾薇说。 “我们是顾问。”“我们差不多就是这么做的，”比恩说着拿出了《女孩力量4-永远》的宣传册。 “我们想成为‘Girl Power 4-Ever’那样的人。” 南希冷笑道。“我不这么认为。” “我们做的都是一样的！”比恩说。 “我们做了手工、自然研究和急救！”“你做了什么手工？”南希问。 “友谊手镯，”比恩说。 “不管怎么说，我们就是这样开始的。” “但我们最终学会了如何从绳索中逃脱，”艾薇继续说。 “像胡迪尼。”南希突然大笑起来。 “你打手。”“我们不是打手！”比恩说。 “很有趣！”“你想让我们给你看吗？”艾薇问。 “我们可以告诉你怎么做。”
