2 Awooga awooga!

CHAPTER TWO Awooga awooga! Of course, Ingrid the duck and her husband, Sir Charles Fotheringay (also a duck, duck fans), waddled into the party fashionably late. After many years of living a wild showbiz life in Hollywood, Ingrid had been to all the parties she would ever need to go to. She looked around, sighed dramatically, and plonked her feathery bottom on a velvet cushion her husband had brought along. She snapped open a small mirror and admired her eye make-up.

第二章呜嘎呜嘎！当然，鸭子英格丽德（Ingrid）和她的丈夫查尔斯·福瑟林盖爵士（Sir Charles Fotheringay）（也是一只鸭子，鸭迷们）很晚才时髦地摇摇摆摆地走进派对。 在好莱坞过了多年疯狂的娱乐圈生活后，英格丽德参加了所有她需要参加的聚会。 她环顾四周，戏剧性地叹了口气，把她那毛茸茸的屁股砰地一声放在她丈夫带来的天鹅绒垫子上。 她啪的一声打开一面小镜子，欣赏着自己的眼妆。

'You look absolutely dreamy, darling,' gushed Sir Charles. 'Yes, I know. I cannot help it,' said Ingrid. 'And now we must leave.' 'But we've only just got here, darling! We haven't even said happy birthday to Wiggy.' Ingrid rolled her eyes and waddled over to Wiggy. 'Happy birthday, wonderful party, so sorry, we have to go, goodbye,' she said, giving Wiggy air-kisses on both cheeks. 'Oh, hello! Thank you, Ingrid… and, um, goodbye, I suppose,' said Wiggy. Ingrid cleared her throat and turned to face the crowd. 'Everybody, stop having fun! You will all be late for MY party if you don't get a move on,' she snapped. 'Come at once! And bring the festive crow.' Everyone was too scared of Ingrid to argue, so began dutifully trudging from Wiggy's place to the second party of the day.

“亲爱的，你看上去简直像在做梦，”查尔兹爵士滔滔不绝地说道。 “是的，我知道。“我没办法，”英格丽德说。 “现在我们必须离开了。“可我们才到这儿，亲爱的！”我们甚至还没有对威吉说生日快乐呢。”英格丽德翻了个白眼，摇摇摆摆地走向威格。 “生日快乐，精彩的聚会，很抱歉，我们得走了，再见。”她说着，在威格的双颊上飞吻了一下。 “哦,你好!“谢谢你，英格丽德……我想，嗯，再见。”威格说。 英格丽德清了清嗓子，转身面对人群。 “大家别玩了！”“如果你们不快点，参加我的聚会就要迟到了。”她厉声说。 “马上来！”带上节日的乌鸦。”大家都害怕英格丽德，不敢跟她争辩，于是就开始顺从地从威格的地方走到当天的第二个聚会上。

'Oh well, it was wonderful while it lasted,' beamed Wiggy, who had guessed his party would be a small one. Grimwood Theatre had been repaired and rebuilt (again) after Pamela the eagle had accidentally destroyed it (again), and today was the grand re-opening party. Ingrid, who was in charge of the whole thing, had banned Pamela from the event. 'She is a feathered nightmare!' Ingrid had quacked. 'Always eating my actors and blowing up my stage and causing a commotion. I will not have her ruining my party and that is that.' It was hard for anyone to disagree. 'Oh dear,' fretted Titus. 'I know Pamela can be difficult but, well, I just hate the idea of anyone being left out of a party. It's just not the Grimwood way!' Ingrid's eyes narrowed. 'For a mayor, you are dreadfully feeble,' she hissed. 'I know!' nodded Titus, bursting into tears. When everyone arrived at the theatre there were many oohs and aahs, because it all looked very fancy. There were lots of candles flickering in jam jars, and a long red ribbon was tied between two small larch trees. In the middle of the stage, a beautiful hare in a floaty dress was playing the guitar. 'Gasp!' gasped Willow. 'Ted, look! It's the actual Anoushka Wispy, your favourite pop star!'

“哦，好吧，那真是太棒了。”威吉笑着说，他本来猜到他的客人不多。 格里姆伍德剧院（Grimwood Theatre）在老鹰帕梅拉（Pamela）不小心（再次）毁坏之后，已经（再次）进行了修复和重建，今天是盛大的重新开放派对。 英格丽德是整件事的负责人，她禁止帕梅拉参加这个活动。 “她是一个长着羽毛的噩梦！”英格丽嘎嘎叫着。 “总是吃我的演员，炸毁我的舞台，引起骚乱。 我不能让她毁了我的派对，就这样。”任何人都很难不同意。 “哦，天哪，”提图斯不安地说。“我知道帕梅拉很难相处，但是，我只是不喜欢有人被排除在派对之外。 这不是格里姆伍德的作风！”英格丽德眯起眼睛。 “作为一个市长，你虚弱得可怕，”她嘶嘶地说。 “我知道!提图斯点点头，哭了起来。 当大家到达剧院时，一片欢呼，因为一切看起来都很华丽。 果酱罐里有许多摇曳的蜡烛，两棵小落叶松之间系着一条长长的红丝带。 舞台中央，一只穿着飘逸长裙的漂亮兔子正在弹着吉他。 “喘息!威罗喘着气说。“泰德,看!这是真正的Anoushka Wispy，你最喜欢的流行歌星！”

Ted started squealing and jumping up and down, because he was a total 'Wisper', which was what you called a massive Anoushka Wispy fan. 'Like, heyyyy everybody,' said Anoushka, slowly blinking her long eyelashes. 'My name is Anoushka and I'm, like, so happy to welcome you to the grand opening of my brand-new dance studio.' 'QUAAAAACK!' 'Um, sorry,' stuttered Anoushka, glancing at a very angry Ingrid. 'I mean the grand opening of the Grimwood Players'

泰德开始尖叫，跳上跳下，因为他是一个完全的“小精灵”，也就是你所说的Anoushka小精灵的超级粉丝。 “嗨，大家好，”阿努什卡说，慢慢地眨着她的长睫毛。 我叫Anoushka我很高兴欢迎你们来参加我全新的舞蹈工作室的盛大开幕式。“QUAAAAACK !“嗯，对不起，”阿努什卡结结巴巴地看了一眼怒气冲冲的英格丽德。 “我指的是格里姆伍德剧团的盛大开幕。”

Theatre. Which will also be my dance studio. For a bit.' Ingrid waddled onto the stage and stood directly in front of Anoushka. 'Listen to me, you cretins! This is the Grimwood Players' Theatre and everybody must know this. Do you understand? I said, DO YOU UNDERSTAND?' 'Yes, Ingrid,' replied everyone. 'However,' she continued, 'while I am writing my next hit show for the Grimwood Players, I have agreed that Ms Wispy can borrow my theatre for her namby-pamby dancing. That is all. QUAAAAACK.' And she waddled off the stage. Anoushka gave a delicate cough and strummed her guitar. When she spoke, she blinked her eyelashes really slowly and sometimes put her paw to her forehead like she'd just forgotten something. All the Wispy fans sighed at how cute and cool she looked. 'OK, um, great. Like, thanks Ingrid,' said Anoushka. 'Hey, everyone. So yeah, I'll be, like, holding dance auditions over the next few days? Because, like, I need some dancers for my world tour.' Everybody gasped. Willow elbowed Ted extremely hard and waggled her eyebrows. 'Ted!' she hissed. 'That could be US!' Ted just shook his head in disbelief. Anoushka giggled shyly. 'Yeah, I know, pretty exciting, huh? So just, like, bring your legwarmers and a great attitude, yeah? Cool. So, um, I'm going

剧院。那也是我的舞蹈工作室。 有一段时间。”英格丽德摇摇摆摆地走上舞台，站在阿努什卡的正前方。 “听我说，你们这些笨蛋！”这里是格里姆伍德演员剧院，每个人都应该知道。 你明白吗？我说，你明白吗？“是的，英格丽德，”大家回答。 “不过，”她继续说道，“在我为格里姆伍德剧团写下一部热门剧目的时候，我已经同意小威小姐可以借用我的剧院来表演她那矫情的舞蹈。 就这些。QUAAAAACK。”她摇摇摆摆地走下了舞台。 阿努什卡轻轻地咳了一声，弹着吉他。 当她说话的时候，她慢慢地眨着睫毛，有时把爪子放在额头上，好像她刚刚忘记了什么。 所有的粉丝都感叹她看起来是多么可爱和酷。 “好的，嗯，太好了。“谢谢你，英格丽，”阿努什卡说。 “嘿,每一个人。所以，接下来的几天我会举行舞蹈试镜？ 因为我需要一些舞者来参加我的世界巡演。”每个人都气喘吁吁地说。 威洛用胳膊肘使劲地挤着特德，还摇了摇眉毛。 “泰德!她嘶嘶地说。“可能是我们！”泰德只是不相信地摇了摇头。 阿努什卡害羞地咯咯笑着。“是啊，我知道，很刺激，对吧？” 所以，带上你的护腿和良好的态度，好吗？ 酷。所以，我要走了

to sing you some songs if that's OK. So, um, if you could, like, shut up for a second that would be great, haha! This one is called "If Flowers Wore Trousers".' 'Oh yay, I love this one!' squealed Ted, clapping his paws. Anoushka sang in a gentle voice and began to sway from side to side. It was a slow song. It was a sad song. It was a boring song. Nancy groaned and rolled her eyes. 'She sounds like a droopy flower,' snipped Ingrid. 'Ooh, I think she's just marvellous,' sighed Wiggy. 'Yeah, that's cos you FANCY HER!' shouted Willow, and poor Wiggy's badgery face went bright red. Luckily, just at this moment, Sharon the Party Crow invaded the stage. She grabbed the microphone and shouted, 'AWOOOGA! AWOOOGA! IS THIS A PARTY OR IS THIS A FUNERAL? LET'S GET JIGGY WITH IT!' The crowd whooped and cheered and threw their party hats in the air. Where did they get party hats from? Well, WHO KNOWS, it was just the kind of crazy thing that happened whenever Sharon was around.

如果可以的话，我想给你唱几首歌。 所以，嗯，如果你能，比如，闭上一秒钟那就太好了，哈哈！这幅叫做“如果花穿裤子”。“哦耶，我喜欢这个！”泰德尖叫着，拍着爪子。 阿努什卡轻轻地唱着歌，开始左右摇摆。 这是一首慢歌。这是一首悲伤的歌。 这是一首无聊的歌。南希呻吟着，翻白眼。 “她的声音听起来像一朵下垂的花。”英格丽打断道。 “哦，我觉得她太棒了。” “是啊，那是因为你喜欢她！”威洛喊道，可怜的威吉那张带徽章的脸涨得通红。 幸运的是，就在这时，“派对乌鸦”莎伦出现在舞台上。 她抓起麦克风喊道：“哇哦！”AWOOOGA !这是派对还是葬礼？ 让我们动起来吧！”人群欢呼雀跃，把他们的派对帽抛向空中。 他们从哪儿弄来的派对帽？ 谁知道呢，只要莎伦在身边，这种疯狂的事情就会发生。
