CHAPTER TWELVE Awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga! Nancy couldn't help but laugh when she saw Ted making his way to the narrowboat. 'I wondered where my leather jacket had got to,' she said. 'Looking tough, little brother.' 'Ooh, do I?' said Ted, hopefully. 'Nah,' said Nancy. 'You look adorable, as always. Where's the bunny? Are you two friends yet?' 'Hmph!' said Ted, and he kicked a stone hard enough that it boinged into a tree trunk. 'I'll take that as a no then,' said Rufus, who was sitting on the roof of the narrowboat chewing on a cheese sandwich.
第十二章阿伍加阿伍加阿伍加阿伍加阿伍加阿伍加阿伍加阿伍加阿伍加!南希看到特德朝小船走去,不禁笑了起来。 她说:“我不知道我的皮夹克到哪里去了。” “看起来很坚强,小兄弟。“哦,是吗?”泰德满怀希望地说。 “不,”南希说。“你看起来一如既往地可爱。 兔子在哪里?你们俩是朋友了吗?“嗯!泰德说,他狠狠地踢了一块石头,结果石头撞到了树干上。 “那我就当你不同意了。”鲁弗斯说,他正坐在小船的顶篷上嚼着一块奶酪三明治。
'She told me off for being too bossy and then she said that now she's best friends with Anoushka Wispy and then—' 'Urgh,' said Nancy. 'I'm bored of hearing you go on about it. You two just need to have a massive punch-up.' 'Erm,' said Rufus. 'I'm not sure that would be the best way of handling it.' 'You're right,' said Nancy. 'The bunny would flatten Ted in seconds. Hmm.' Rufus hopped down from the boat, tore his sandwich in two and gave one half to Ted. 'Why don't you have a talk?' he said, gently. 'You know. A proper chat, where you don't scream at each other or play mean games or try and make each other jealous.' And then Ted quite unexpectedly stopped being tough. He burst into tears and ran over to Nancy, burying his face in her armpit.
“她责备我太专横,然后她说她现在和阿努什卡·维斯皮是最好的朋友,然后——”“呃,”南希说。 "我听你没完没了地说这个烦透了。 你们俩只需要好好打一架。“嗯,”鲁弗斯说。 “我不确定这是不是最好的处理方式。“你说得对,”南希说。 兔子会在几秒钟内把泰德压扁。 嗯。”鲁弗斯从船上跳下来,把三明治撕成两半,一半给了泰德。 “你们为什么不谈谈呢?”他温柔地说。 “你知道的。好好聊聊,不要朝对方大吼大叫,不要玩卑鄙的游戏,也不要让对方嫉妒。”然后泰德出人意料地不再强硬了。 他突然大哭起来,跑向南希,把脸埋在她的腋窝里。
'I… j-just… w-w-want… Willow back!' he sniffled, shaking off the leather jacket. 'I ain't cool and tough and I don't wanna be if it means I don't have my best friend anymore!' 'Right,' said Rufus, adjusting his hat and neckerchief. 'Where are you going?' said Nancy, cuddling Ted close. 'To get Ted his Willow back,' he said, and he stomped in the direction of Bunnyville. When Willow's mum opened the door to her warren, she was somewhat startled to find a large fox standing in front of her. Her paw quickly reached for the hammer she kept in her toolbelt. 'Woah! Who are you?' she said. 'Don't even think about eating up any of my kids, cos I'll bash you in the face.' 'Lovely to meet you too!' said Rufus, with a grin. 'I'm Rufus. I'm Ted's older brother.' Flora's eyes narrowed. 'Who the heck is Ted?' she snarled. 'Oh, you must know Ted!' said Rufus. 'Willow's best friend.' Flora frowned. 'My Willow?' she said, eventually. 'Parpy Willow? The smelly one?' Rufus nodded. 'Yes,' he said. 'Ted is her best friend, but they seem to have had a big bust-up about something. I'm not sure what, exactly. And I was wondering if you could help?'
“我……只是……只是……希望……威洛回来!”他抽泣着,抖掉皮夹克。 “我既不酷也不强硬,如果这意味着我失去了我最好的朋友,我也不想这样!”“好的,”鲁弗斯说着,整理了一下帽子和围巾。 “你上哪儿去?”南希说着,紧紧地搂着特德。 “去把泰德的柳树弄回来。”他说着,朝邦尼维尔的方向走去。 当威洛的妈妈打开沃伦的门时,她有点吃惊地发现一只大狐狸站在她面前。 她的爪子迅速伸手去拿她放在工具腰带里的锤子。 “哇!你是谁?她说。 别想吃掉我的孩子,不然我会揍你的脸。“见到你我也很高兴!”鲁弗斯咧嘴笑着说。 “我鲁弗斯。我是泰德的哥哥。”弗洛拉眯起眼睛。 “泰德到底是谁?”她咆哮道。 “哦,你一定认识泰德!”鲁弗斯说。 “威洛最好的朋友。”植物皱起了眉头。 “我的柳树吗?她终于说。 “Parpy柳树吗?那个发臭的?”鲁弗斯点了点头。 “是的,”他说。“泰德是她最好的朋友,但他们似乎因为什么事大吵了一架。 我不确定具体是什么。 我想知道你能不能帮忙?”
Flora sighed and put her paw to her forehead. 'What was your name again?' she said. 'I'm Rufus,' he grinned. 'What's your name?' 'My name is Flora, but nobody ever calls me that. All I hear is "mum" this and "mum" that. Have you got kids, Rufus? No? Well, good for you. Don't get me wrong, I love them to bits, but I've got 374 of them. Do you know how many pants I have to wash? How many mouths I have to feed? How much homework I have to pretend to help with?' Rufus opened his mouth to speak but it seemed like Flora was only just getting started. 'I'm always folding clothes! The laundry never ends. Also, everyone wants feeding ALL THE TIME! Who decided there were so many meals in the day? Not to mention snacks? And they've all got so much ENERGY, it drives me mad. And who deals with it all? MUGGINS, here, that's who!' shouted Flora, pointing at herself. Rufus took a deep breath. 'Does anybody help you?' he said. 'You know, does anyone do the washing or cook or help with the laundry?' 'No,' said Flora. 'Anyway. Let me talk to Willow, all right? I'll find out what the matter is.' And she shut the door firmly in his face. 'Oh well,' said Rufus. 'I tried.'
弗洛拉叹了口气,把爪子放在额头上。 “你叫什么名字来着?”她说。 “我是鲁弗斯。”“你叫什么名字?”“我叫弗洛拉,但从来没有人这么叫我。” 我听到的都是“妈妈”这个和“妈妈”那个。 你有孩子吗,鲁弗斯没有? 对你有好处。别误会,我非常喜欢,但我有374个。 你知道我要洗几条裤子吗? 我要养活多少张嘴? 我得假装帮你做多少家庭作业?”鲁弗斯张开嘴想说话,但似乎弗洛拉才刚刚开始。 “我总是叠衣服!”衣服永远洗不完。 而且,每个人都一直想要吃东西!谁决定一天要吃这么多饭的? 更不用说零食了?他们都精力充沛,快把我逼疯了。 谁来处理这一切? 马金斯,就是他!弗洛拉指着自己喊道。 鲁弗斯深吸了一口气。“有人帮你吗?”他说。 “你知道,有人洗衣服、做饭或帮忙洗衣服吗?”“不,”弗洛拉说。 ”。让我和薇罗谈谈,好吗? 我去弄清楚是怎么回事。”她当着他的面把门关上了。 “哦,好吧,”鲁弗斯说。“我试过了。”
He should have asked me to help. I'm good at folding things. Look! Most of the residents of Grimwood were gathered by the Magic Tower, helping Sharon collect sticks for her mysterious mission. 'Well done rounding everyone up, Frank,' said Dr Khan. 'Och, we all love Sharon,' said Frank. 'Everyone's happy to help.'
他应该找我帮忙的。 我擅长叠东西。 看!格里姆伍德的大多数居民都聚集在魔法塔旁,帮助莎伦收集木棍,完成她的神秘任务。 “弗兰克,把大家都召集起来干得好,”可汗博士说。 “哦,我们都爱沙伦,”弗兰克说。 “每个人都很乐意帮忙。”
By now, the pile of sticks was almost as high as the Magic Tower itself. Dr Khan was flicking through Party Crows: An Illustrated History. 'This has all got to be connected to the legend of the Raving Raven,' said Dr Khan, who was a clever pigeon. 'I just know it.' 'But why does she need so many sticks?' asked Frank. 'They are building materials, I suppose. But I don't know how one small crow will manage to build anything out of all of this… stuff.' Frank shook his head helplessly. Titus, meanwhile, was pedalling around on his bicycle trying to feed everyone jam doughnuts. 'It's important to keep up morale!' he said, wobbling up the hill. 'Well done, everyone. Marvellous work!' Sharon, meanwhile, kept flying around the pile of sticks, occasionally picking one up and dropping it again. She seemed very agitated. Ted shivered and pulled his scarf around his neck a little more. It was a chilly late afternoon, and he was tired. It had been a long day. He gave a yawn and a big stretch. Then he noticed something. 'What's that, Nancy? Up in the sky?' he said, pointing high above them. Nancy squinted at the clouds. 'Well, well, well,' she chuckled. 'It looks like things are about to get even weirder around here.' 'SQUAAAAAAAAAAWK!'
现在,那堆木棍几乎和魔法塔一样高了。 可汗博士正在翻阅《派对乌鸦:历史画报》。 “这一切都与乌鸦的传说有关,”可汗博士说,他是一只聪明的鸽子。 “我就是知道。“可她为什么需要这么多棍子呢?”弗兰克问。 “我想它们是建筑材料吧。 但我不知道一只小乌鸦怎么能把这些……东西造出来。”弗兰克无奈地摇了摇头。 与此同时,提图斯正骑着自行车四处走动,试图给每个人喂果酱甜甜圈。 “保持士气很重要!”他摇摇晃晃地向山上走去。 “大家干得好。了不起的工作!”与此同时,沙伦不停地绕着那堆木棍飞来飞去,偶尔捡起一根,又掉下去。 她似乎很激动。泰德打了个寒颤,又把围巾绕在脖子上拉了一下。 那是一个寒冷的傍晚,他很累。 这是漫长的一天。他打了个哈欠,伸了个懒腰。 然后他注意到了一件事。 “那是什么,南希?”在天空中?他指着他们上方说。 南希眯着眼睛看着云层。 “好吧,好吧,好吧,”她轻声笑着说。 “看来这里的事情要变得更奇怪了。“SQUAAAAAAAAAAWK !”
