5 Happy Campers

HAPPY CAMPERS Ivy had just finished tying Bean's arm and leg

艾薇刚刚把比恩的胳膊和腿绑好

together behind her back when they heard a voice say, "That's weird." "What?" said Ivy, looking around. She got up to investigate. "Hey!" called Bean. "You can't just walk away!" "What are you doing?" asked Ivy. "I'm trying to get the heck out of this rope!" yelled Bean. But Ivy was talking to someone else. Two someone elses. They were peeking out of a bush.

当他们听到一个声音说：“这太奇怪了。” “什么？”艾薇环顾四周说。 她起身去调查。 “嘿！”比恩喊道。“你不能就这么一走了之！”“你在做什么？”艾薇问。 “我想把这该死的绳子弄出来！”比恩喊道。 但艾薇在跟别人说话。 两个是别人。他们正从灌木丛中往外偷看。

"We're running away from home," said one of them. He was a little kid, littler than Ivy and Bean. "No, we're not. He says anything," the other one said. She was about their age. "Are you doing a trick?" "Welcome to Camp Flaming Arrow," said Bean in her best counselor voice. It was hard to look like a counselor with her foot tied to her hand but she tried. "Camp What?" asked the girl. "Camp Flaming Arrow," said Ivy. "You know, whoosh through the air, sizzle." She added, "Some people call it Camp Neanderthal." The girl looked at Bean. "Why is she all tied up?" "Crafts!" yelled Bean, struggling to get her foot free. The boy set down his backpack. "That's a good craft. Can I be in your camp?" "I thought you were running away from home," said Ivy.

“我们要离家出走，”其中一个说。 他是个小孩，比艾薇和比恩还小。 “不，我们没有。他什么都说。”另一个说。 她和他们差不多大。“你在耍花招吗？”“欢迎来到火焰箭营。”比恩用她最好的顾问腔调说。 把脚绑在手上很难看起来像个辅导员，但她努力了。 “什么营？”女孩问。 “火焰箭营。”艾薇说。 “你知道，嗖嗖地穿过空气，嘶嘶作响。” 她补充说，“有些人称之为尼安德特人营地。” 女孩看着比恩。“她怎么被绑起来了？”“工艺品！”比恩大叫，挣扎着把脚挪开。 男孩放下背包。 “这是一门好手艺。我能加入你的阵营吗？”“我还以为你要离家出走呢，”艾薇说。

"No." The girl shook her head. "We're visiting our great-aunt. She told us to come here and play. We can't go back to her house until dinner." "Wow," said Ivy. "Dinner's a long time from now." The girl nodded. "She's kind of crabby." Bean heaved herself over onto her side with a thump. She smiled, showing all her teeth. "Welcome to Camp Flaming Arrow, a week of fun and inspiration for g—kids." The boy was a boy, so it couldn't be just for girls. "I'm Counselor Bean, and that girl is Counselor Ivy." The boy's name was Harlan, and he was six years old. His sister was Franny, and she was seven. Harlan asked where the other campers were. Bean tried to think of a good answer. She couldn't. "Actually, there aren't any other—" "Camp doesn't really start until next week," Ivy broke in.

“没有。”女孩摇了摇头。 “我们要去拜访我们的姑母。 她叫我们来这里玩。 我们要到晚饭后才能回她家。” “哇，”艾薇说。“晚饭还有很长时间呢。” 女孩点点头。“她有点暴躁。” 比恩砰的一声翻了个身。 她笑了，露出了所有的牙齿。 “欢迎来到火焰之箭夏令营，这是为g孩子们提供乐趣和灵感的一周。” 那男孩是个男孩，所以不可能只适合女孩。 “我是宾顾问，那个女孩是艾薇顾问” 这个男孩叫哈兰，今年六岁。 他的妹妹叫弗兰妮，七岁。 哈兰问其他露营者在哪里。 比恩试图想出一个好答案。 她不能。“其实，没有别的——”“夏令营要到下星期才开始。”艾薇插嘴说。

"Right!" said Bean. "This is practice week. Just for counselors." "But we'll make an exception for you," said Ivy. Bean nodded seriously. "You're lucky. If you came next week, you might not get in. This camp is pretty popular." Ivy nodded seriously, too. "You don't look very old to be counselors," said Franny. "Oh, we're old all right," said Bean. "We're short for our ages," said Ivy. "Really short." She sighed sadly. Harlan and Franny could tell that it wouldn't be polite to ask any more questions about that. "Now! We always start with a little talk about camp rules!" said Bean, rubbing her hands together. "So sit down! Crisscross applesauce! Hop to it!" Harlan and Franny plopped down on the grass and waited obediently. Ivy and Bean looked at each other with shining eyes. This was

“对！”比恩说。“这是练习周。 只是给辅导员的。”“但我们会为你破一次例，”艾薇说。 比恩严肃地点点头。“你是幸运的。 如果你下星期来，你可能进不去。 这个营地很受欢迎。” 艾薇也认真地点了点头。 “你看起来不太老，不适合做顾问，”弗兰尼说。 “哦，我们老了，”比恩说。 “我们比我们的年龄矮，”艾薇说。 “真的。”她伤心地叹了口气。 哈兰和弗兰妮看得出来，再问这个问题是不礼貌的。 “现在!我们总是先谈谈营地的规矩！”比恩搓着双手说。 “那就坐下吧！”双腿交叉!跳吧！”哈兰和弗兰妮扑通一声坐在草地上，乖乖地等着。 艾薇和比恩的眼睛闪闪发光，彼此看着对方。 这是

going to be good. No one ever let them make the rules. "Rule number one!" said Bean. "You can only have as much fun as you are willing to get hurt!" "What?" said Franny. "Rule two!" said Ivy. "Live and learn!" Her mom said that a lot. "Rule three!" yelled Bean. "The counselor is always right!" Ivy began to giggle. "Rule four! If you want to make an omelet, you're going to have to break some eggs!" "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em!" bellowed Bean.

会很好的。没人让他们定规矩。 “规则一！”比恩说。 “只有你愿意受伤，你才能玩得开心！”“什么？”弗兰妮说。 “规则二！”艾薇说。“活到老学到老！”她妈妈经常这么说。 “第三条规则！”比恩喊道。 “辅导员永远是对的！”艾薇开始咯咯地笑。 “规则四个!如果你想做煎蛋卷，你就得打破一些鸡蛋！”“如果你打不过他们，就加入他们！”比恩吼道。
