2 Cooking

CHAPTER TWO Cooking Ted and Nancy arrived at Titus's caravan as the sun was rising. Outside was a large wooden table, upon which sat jam jars stuffed with flowers. Chairs and friendly-looking logs were dotted all over the place, because Titus LOVED having visitors. Ted rapped on the door. 'Titus!' he shouted. 'Are you awake?' There was no answer. 'I'll wake him,' announced Willow, Ted's best friend. 'Where did you come from?' grumbled Nancy. 'Oh, I've been up for AGES!' Willow grinned. 'I've already read five books, been swimming, built a wardrobe and learnt

泰德和南希在太阳升起的时候来到了提图斯的商队。 外面有一张大木桌，上面放着装满鲜花的果酱罐。 椅子和看起来很友好的圆木到处都是，因为提图斯喜欢有客人。 泰德重重地敲着门。“提多!他喊道。 “你醒着吗？”没有人回答。 “我来叫醒他，”泰德最好的朋友威罗宣布。 “你从哪儿来？”南希嘟囔着。 “哦，我睡了好长时间了！”柳笑了。 “我已经读了五本书，游了泳，做了衣橱，学了很多东西

how to skateboard. Now I'm here to help Titus bake a cake.' Nancy shook her head. 'You're too much, bunny.' 'I'm PERFECT, actually,' announced Willow, and, with her small but firm paw, she thwacked open Titus's caravan door. A hairy lump with massive antlers was snoring underneath a flowery quilt. The lump was Titus, OBVIOUSLY. He was talking in his sleep. 'SNGGGGGGGGG… pheeeeeeeeeee… SNGRLRLRLRL… pheeeeeeeeeee… Oh yes, another cup, please, Vicar… SNRRGOOOR… pheeee… Ooh, is this Darjeeling? What a fabulous blend. Why, yes, it is an antique teapot…' Willow rolled her eyes. 'He's dreamin' about winning that jam competition again,' she said. 'That's one of his fave dreams.' She marched over to Titus's fridge, took out two slices of cheese, and hopped up onto his bed. 'WAKEY, WAKEY!' she bellowed, jumping up and down on poor Titus and slapping his face with cheese. 'RISE AND SHINE!' 'Mmmmnnnnaaaargh!' yelled Titus and suddenly sat bolt upright. He blinked, shook his snout back and forth a few times, and then noticed Willow and the cheese slices. 'Ooh, yum, breakfast in bed!' he said. 'Thank you, young Willow! You are so thoughtful.' He gently folded the cheese slices into his mouth. A few minutes later, everyone was sitting around Titus's table. Nancy poured herself a cup of strong black coffee, while

如何玩滑板。现在我是来帮提多烤蛋糕的。”南希摇了摇头。 “你太过分了，兔子。“我很完美，实际上，”威洛宣布，然后，用她的小而坚定的爪子，砰的一声打开了提图斯的大篷车门。 一个长着巨大鹿角的毛茸茸的家伙在花被子下面打呼噜。 这个肿块显然是提图斯。 他在说梦话。 “呜——呜——呜……呜——呜——呜……呜——呜……哦，对了，再来一杯，牧师……呜——呜……呜……哦，这是大吉岭吗？” 多么美妙的混合。“啊，是的，这是一个古董茶壶……” 她说：“他梦想着再次赢得果酱比赛。” 这是他最喜欢的梦想之一。”她大步走向提图斯的冰箱，拿出两片奶酪，跳上他的床。 “醒来吧,醒来吧!她吼道，在可怜的提图斯身上跳上跳下，用奶酪打他的脸。 “起床了！”“Mmmmnnnnaaaargh !提图斯喊道，突然坐直了身子。 他眨了眨眼睛，前后摇了几下鼻子，然后注意到了威洛和奶酪片。 “哦，好吃，在床上吃早餐！”他说。 “谢谢你，小威罗！”你想得真周到。”他轻轻地把奶酪片放进嘴里。 几分钟后，大家都围着提多的桌子坐了下来。 南希给自己倒了一杯浓咖啡，同时

Ted and Willow enjoyed some Crazyhorns Power Juice. Hello! In case you'd forgotten, Crazyhorns Power Juice is a delicious smoothie made by Titus. Goodness knows what he puts in it. Best not to ask, 1 think. Titus, who was now wearing a chef's hat and apron, plonked some bowls and spoons on the table. 'I can't believe I overslept!' he said. 'Today of all days! I've got to bake the best wedding cake there's ever been!' For weeks, Grimwood had been a-buzz with preparations for a grand wedding of two squirrels, Romeo and Juliet. Romeo was from Grimwood, and Juliet was from Twinklenuts, a lovely place right next door to Grimwood. For years, the two neighbourhoods had been separated by the Swamp of Despair. But Twinklenuts and Grimwood had banded together after a

泰德和薇洛喝了些疯狂角能量果汁。 你好!如果你忘了，疯角能量果汁是提图斯制作的美味奶昔。 天知道他往里面放了什么。 我想最好还是别问了。提图斯现在戴着厨师帽，系着围裙，把一些碗和勺子砰地一声放在桌子上。 “我不敢相信我睡过头了！”他说。 “偏偏是今天！”我要烤出有史以来最好的结婚蛋糕！”几个星期以来，格里姆伍德一直在为两只松鼠罗密欧和朱丽叶的盛大婚礼做准备。 罗密欧来自格里姆伍德，朱丽叶来自格里姆伍德隔壁的一个可爱的地方——Twinklenuts。 多年来，这两个社区一直被“绝望沼泽”隔开。 但是，经过一段时间后，Twinklenuts和Grimwood走到了一起

power-crazed fox called Sebastian Silver wanted to turn the whole place into a car park or something. You can read all about these adventures in another book which isn't this one. I can't remember the name of it. It certainly wasn't The Eric Dynamite Story', which I think you'll agree is the one we're all waiting for. Anyway, Ingrid the duck kept quacking on about how two squirrels called Romeo and Juliet getting married was a bad idea. 'You lot are total nincompoops,' she quacked. 'Everybody knows the famous play by William Shakespeare called Romeo and Juliet, do they not?' Her husband, Sir Charles Fotheringay, ruffled his feathers. 'Darling, I fear this riffraff know nothing of the theatre,' he sighed. 'Yeah, I've seen the film, actually,' said Willow helpfully. 'It was well good. There was fighting and car chases in it and everything.' Ingrid and Sir Charles shivered.

一个叫塞巴斯蒂安·西尔弗的权力狂想把整个地方变成停车场什么的。 你可以在另一本书中读到这些冒险故事，而不是这本书。 我记不起它的名字了。 这当然不是《埃里克炸药的故事》，我想你会同意这是我们都在等待的故事。 不管怎样，鸭子英格丽德一直嘎嘎叫着说两只叫罗密欧和朱丽叶的松鼠结婚是个坏主意。 “你们都是笨蛋，”她嘎嘎地说。 “大家都知道威廉·莎士比亚的名剧《罗密欧与朱丽叶》，是不是？”她的丈夫查尔斯·福瑟林盖爵士激怒了他。 “亲爱的，恐怕这些乌合之众对戏剧一窍不通，”他叹了口气。 “是的，实际上我看过这部电影。” “非常好。里面有打斗、追车等等。”英格丽德和查尔斯爵士打了个寒颤。

'Movies these days aren't what they were,' said Ingrid snootily. And she knew what she was talking about, because Ingrid used to be a successful movie star, as well as a top- secret government spy and the owner of a global chain of hotels. I know, this sounds like quite a lot for a duck. But when was the last time you sat down and talked- I mean really talked- to a duck? They get up to much more than you'd think, you know. 'Anyway,' continued Ingrid. 'In the play it ended BADLY for Romeo and Juliet.' 'Er, like, SPOILER ALERT,' said Willow, adjusting her chef's apron. 'Anyway, that doesn't mean things will go badly for Romeo and Juliet the squirrels, does it?' Nancy rolled her eyes. 'Things always go bonkers around here,' she scoffed. 'Don't see why a squirrel wedding will be any different.' Titus, meanwhile, was counting eggs. 'That's a lot of eggs,' said Nancy. 'Is there any reason you're trying to build a tower out of them?' 'Just… for… fun!' said Titus, his hoof quivering as he slowly balanced one egg on top of another.

“现在的电影已经今非昔比了，”英格丽德傲慢地说。 她知道自己在说什么，因为英格丽德曾经是一位成功的电影明星，也是一名绝密的政府间谍，还是一家全球连锁酒店的老板。 我知道，对于一只鸭子来说，这听起来太多了。 但是你上一次坐下来和一只鸭子说话——我是说真正地说话——是什么时候？ 他们比你想象的要能干得多。 “不管怎样，”英格丽德接着说。 在剧中，罗密欧与朱丽叶的结局很糟糕。“呃，比如，剧透警告，”威洛说着，整理着她的厨师围裙。 “不管怎么说，这并不意味着罗密欧和茱丽叶的松鼠们会遭遇不幸，对吧？”南希翻了个白眼。 “这里的事情总是一团糟，”她嘲笑道。 “我看不出松鼠婚礼有什么不同。”与此同时，提图斯正在数鸡蛋。 “好多鸡蛋啊，”南希说。 “你想用它们建一座塔有什么原因吗？”“只是……为了……好玩！”提图斯说，他的蹄子颤抖着，慢慢地把一个蛋放在另一个蛋上。
