9 The Queen’s Garbage

THE QUEEN'S GARBAGE The last day of Camp Flaming Arrow started out quietly. In front of the tent, Harlan and Franny and Dino and Sophie W. gathered around Ivy and Bean. Juanito and Leo were hiding inside the tent. The Puppet Fun! counselor had given up on Ella and the three zombies as long as they promised to stay in Monkey Park, so they were there, too. Everyone was listening to Ivy. Ivy was going to read from a book called Daredevils in Dresses: Heroines of History. "Boudicca, Queen of the Britons," Ivy read. She looked up. "Boudicca had red hair, like me."

女王的垃圾火焰箭营的最后一天平静地开始了。 在帐篷前，哈伦、弗兰妮、迪诺和索菲。 围着艾薇和比恩。 胡安尼托和利奥躲在帐篷里。 木偶的乐趣！辅导员已经放弃了艾拉和那三个僵尸，只要他们答应留在猴子公园，所以他们也在那里。 每个人都在听艾薇。 艾薇准备朗读一本书的选段，书名是《穿裙子的冒险者：历史上的女英雄》。 “布迪卡，不列颠女王，”艾薇念道。 她抬起头来。“布迪卡有一头红头发，和我一样。”

Boudicca, it turned out, was a tough patootie who had lived a long time ago. When her husband died, she was supposed to get his kingdom, but the rotten Roman governor said ha, ha, I'm the governor and I get what I want.

事实证明，布迪卡是一个生活在很久以前的坚强的人。 她丈夫死后，她本应得到他的王国，但腐朽的罗马总督说，哈，哈，我是总督，我得到了我想要的。

He took her kingdom and he even threw her in jail. But then he made a big mistake. He went on vacation. Boudicca escaped from jail and told all the men in her kingdom to get off their duffs and fight for her. But they said no. They were wimps. Boudicca said fine, I'll do it myself, and she led an army from her chariot. A chariot is a bitty carriage pulled by horses. Boudicca swung her sword left and right and mowed down all the Romans in sight. There was a very interesting picture of that in the book. "And when the

他夺取了她的王国，甚至把她关进了监狱。 但后来他犯了一个大错误。 他去度假了。布迪卡从监狱里逃了出来，她告诉王国里所有的男人脱掉衣服，为她而战。 但他们拒绝了。他们是懦夫。 布迪卡说，好吧，我自己来，于是她从马车上率领一支军队。 战车是由马拉的小马车。 布迪卡左右挥舞着她的剑，扫射了视线内所有的罗马人。 书中有一张非常有趣的图片。 “当……

governor heard that Boudicca was coming in her chariot, he and his army ran away," read Ivy. "With their knees quaking in terror." "Quaking in terror," Bean repeated. Boudicca was brave. Boudicca was cool. There was a silence while they all thought about Boudicca. "Now," said Ivy, putting the book down, "it's time for hands-on learning." Bean nodded like she knew what that was. Maybe someone else would ask. "Hands-on what?" said Dino. "Hands-on learning means I get to be Boudicca first, because I have red hair," said Ivy. "Bean's my sister. You guys," she pointed at Sophie W., Dino, Ella, and the zombies, "you're the Roman Army. The rest of you," she waved her hand, "are the Briton warriors."

总督听说布迪卡驾着她的马车来了，他和他的军队逃跑了，”艾薇读到。 “他们的膝盖因恐惧而颤抖。” “吓得发抖。”比恩重复道。 布迪卡很勇敢。布迪卡很酷。 大家都想着布迪卡，一阵沉默。 “现在，”艾薇放下书说，“是动手学习的时候了。” 比恩点了点头，好像她知道那是什么。 也许别人会问。 “动手做什么？”迪诺说。 “动手学习意味着我要先成为布迪卡，因为我有一头红头发，”艾薇说。 “比恩是我妹妹。“你们这些家伙，”她指着索菲·W、迪诺、艾拉和僵尸们，“你们是罗马军队。 剩下的人，”她挥挥手，“是不列颠战士。”

The Roman Army slept peacefully on the grass. Little did they know that Queen Boudicca, her sister Bean, and the Briton warriors were creeping up on them. They didn't know it until Bean leaped out from behind a bush, screeching "Surrender, Roman dogs!"

罗马军队安静地睡在草地上。 他们一点也不知道，布迪卡女王、她的妹妹比恩和不列颠战士正在向他们逼近。 他们不知道，直到比恩从灌木丛后面跳出来，尖叫着“投降，罗马狗！”

Two of the zombies caved at once, but Dino, Sophie W., and Ella put up a good fight. In fact, they chased Harlan around until he surrendered, which was not what was supposed to happen. They put him in jail, but he was bravely rescued by Queen Boudicca and her sister, who duked it out, stick to stick, with Dino and Ella. Juanito double-crossed the queen by switching sides halfway through, but then Leo caught him and put him in chains, which was okay because the chains were really jackets. The two zombies decided they wanted to be Briton warriors instead of Roman soldiers. Bean

两只僵尸立刻屈服了，但迪诺、索菲·W和艾拉顽强地战斗着。 事实上，他们一直追着哈兰，直到他投降，这是不应该发生的。 他们把他关进了监狱，但他被布迪卡王后和她的妹妹勇敢地救了出来，她们带着迪诺和埃拉，一根一根地坚持下去。 胡安尼托中途倒戈背叛了王后，但里奥抓住了他，把他锁上了锁链，这没关系，因为锁链其实就是夹克。 这两个僵尸决定他们想成为英国战士而不是罗马士兵。 豆
