10 Treebonkin

CHAPTER TEN Treebonkin' Nancy went and sat by the pond. She wasn't sure what all these weird feelings were that were pinging about inside her. 'Go away, feelings,' she said. 'Get lost.' And she threw an acorn into the murky water. After a few seconds, the acorn was thrown back and it hit Nancy on the nose. 'Ow!' said Nancy and threw it back in again. The pond threw back an even bigger acorn. 'Oi!' said Nancy, jumping to her feet. 'You! Pond! Stop throwing things at me!' 'Arguing with water now, are we?' asked Frank, who was perched on the branch of a nearby hollybush. 'Wouldn't surprise me.' Nancy spun round and pointed at the pond. 'Did you see that?' she barked. 'That ain't normal!' Frank shrugged. 'Lot of things aren't "normal" around here, kid. You

第十章爬树南希走到池塘边坐下。 她不确定这些奇怪的感觉是什么，在她的内心回响。 “走开，感情，”她说。 “迷路”。她把一颗橡子扔进浑浊的水里。 几秒钟后，橡子被甩了回来，正好打在南希的鼻子上。 “噢!南希说着又把它扔了进去。 池塘里又扔出了一颗更大的橡子。 “Oi !南希说着跳了起来。 “你!池塘!别朝我扔东西！“我们在和水争论吗？”弗兰克坐在附近一棵冬青树的树枝上问。 “不会让我吃惊的。”南希转过身，指着池塘。 “你看到了吗？”她吼道。 “那不正常！”弗兰克耸了耸肩。 “这里有很多不‘正常’的事情，孩子。 你

may as well get used to it.' Nancy gave a hollow laugh, and Frank spun his head around so it was almost back-to-front, which is something all owls like to do now and then just to show off. WOOH! LOOK AT ME AND MY SPINNY HEAD 'I think I know something that might help,' said Frank. 'Come with me, kid.' Nancy had to run to keep up with the massive owl as he weaved his way expertly through the branches. Every now and then he had to swoop and duck as a squirrel shot overhead shouting, "TREEBONK!'

不妨习惯一下。”南希空洞地笑了一声，弗兰克把头转了过来，几乎是前后颠倒的，这是所有猫头鹰偶尔都会做的事情，只是为了炫耀。 WOOH !“我想我知道一些可能有用的东西，”弗兰克说。 “跟我来，孩子。”当这只巨大的猫头鹰熟练地在树枝间穿行时，南希不得不跑着跟上它。 不时地，当一只松鼠从头顶飞过，大叫一声：“树邦！”

'Right, that's it,' cried Nancy. 'What IS treebonk? Why do I keep seeing squirrels smashing themselves into tree trunks?' Frank gave a chuckle. 'Treebonk is the official sport of Grimwood, and we take it very seriously indeed,' he said. 'I remember when I first landed here, I couldn't make head nor tail of it. But it's really very simple.' 'OK, well, I'm listening,' said Nancy. Frank took a deep breath and began to explain.

“好了，就是这样，”南希叫道。 “树树干是什么？”为什么我总是看到松鼠把自己撞到树干上？”弗兰克咯咯地笑了。 他说：“树桩是格里姆伍德的官方运动，我们对此非常重视。” “我记得当我第一次登陆这里的时候，我一点也不明白。 但这真的很简单。“好吧，我在听，”南希说。 弗兰克深吸了一口气，开始解释。

ERIC DYNAMITE'S Beginner's Guide to TREEBONK! With additional material by E. Dynamite Foreword by Ericus Dynamitus What is treebonk? Treebonk is a game where players (or 'bonkers') fling themselves into large trees. Then they must immediately bounce off that tree onto another tree, and then another, and so on, for as long as possible. That sounds quite hard. It is. Are you allowed to touch the ground?

埃里克炸药的初学者指南树邦！E。 什么是树树？ Treebonk是一款玩家（或“疯子”）将自己扔到大树上的游戏。 然后，它们必须立即从这棵树上弹到另一棵树上，然后再弹到另一棵树上，以此类推，越长越好。 听起来很难。它是。 你可以碰地面吗？

Nope. How many bonkers are on one team? There is no limit to the number of bonkers you can have on a treebonk team. But both teams must have an equal amount of bonkers. This means there can be a great big treebonk battle with a hundred bonkers on each team. Or there can be an intense duel with bonker against bonker. What else happens? Players can upset their opponents using the following methods: Colliding in mid-air so you both crash to the ground. Hiding in trees to tickle the armpits of the enemy. Leaving sticky things on trunks (e.g. honey or glue) to slow down other treebonkers. How do you win at treebonk? The last treebonker standing wins the match. I thought you weren't allowed to stand? Oh, you know what I mean. Is treebonk dangerous? Yes.

不。一队有多少疯子？ 在treebonk团队中，你可以拥有的疯子数量是没有限制的。 但两支球队的疯子数量必须相等。 这意味着可能会有一场巨大的树洞战斗，每队有100个疯子。 或者是一场激烈的决斗，一个疯子对另一个疯子。 还会发生什么？玩家可以使用以下方法来扰乱对手：在半空中相撞，这样你们都会摔到地上。 躲在树上挠敌人的胳肢窝。 在树干上留下黏糊糊的东西。 蜂蜜或胶水)来减缓其他树痴的速度。 你是怎么在树树上赢的？ 最后一个站着的树疯子赢得比赛。 你不是不能站着吗？ 哦，你知道我的意思。树桩危险吗？ 是。

Is treebonk stupid? Yes. Why are we all playing treebonk then? There wasn't room for a tennis court. 'Right,' said Nancy. 'I think I understand. Is it only squirrels who play?' 'Aye,' said Frank. 'They're well suited to it. Big tails. Enjoy flinging themselves off trees. I coach them sometimes. I teach them about gliding. I took over after Pamela… after she… well, it doesn't matter.' At this point, three squirrels zoomed overhead and splatted against the tree boughs. 'Hi, Frank!' 'Hullo!' 'Howdy!' Frank gave the bonkers a nod as he swooped by. Nancy shook her head. Treebonk sounded like a ridiculous game. Though she could imagine all that whizzing and bouncing could be kind of… fun. 'Ah,' said Frank after a while. 'Here we are.' Nancy looked up and saw the electricity pylon. 'They call it "the Magic Tower",' said Frank. 'It's an electricity pylon,' said Nancy flatly. 'Aye, I know, clever clogs,' said Frank. 'It certainly used to be. But now… well, now it's a little bit more than

树树笨吗？是。那我们为什么都在玩树猿游戏？ 没有地方建网球场。 “好的，”南希说。“我想我明白了。 只有松鼠才玩吗？“是啊，”弗兰克说。 “他们非常适合。 大尾巴。享受从树上跳下来的乐趣。 我有时会指导他们。我教他们滑翔。 “我接替帕梅拉……接替她……嗯，没关系。”这时，三只松鼠从头顶呼啸而过，扑通一声撞在树枝上。 “嗨,弗兰克!“咦!“你好!”弗兰克冲过去时朝那两个疯子点了点头。 南希摇了摇头。《树邦》听起来像个可笑的游戏。 虽然她可以想象所有的嗖嗖和弹跳可能是一种……乐趣。 “啊，”过了一会儿弗兰克说。 “我们到了。”南希抬起头来，看到了电塔。 “他们叫它‘魔塔’，”弗兰克说。 “那是一个电塔，”南希平静地说。 “是啊，我知道，聪明的笨蛋，”弗兰克说。 “过去当然是这样。但是现在，嗯，现在比
