格林伍德 · 4 Party Animals
CHAPTER SIX Awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga awooga! The next morning, Willow and Ted gave Sharon a big hug and left the caravan early. Both of them were wittering with excitement about going to Anoushka Wispy's auditions. After they left, Sharon sighed and pecked at one of Titus's freshly baked croissants. 'Maybe today's the day you get your mojo back!' chirruped Titus, who was making another pot of tea. 'Maybe,' said Sharon, wearily resting her head in a small puddle of jam. 'Wakey wakey! Rise and shine!' hooted Frank, who was being much more cheerful than usual. 'How's the patient?' 'She seems gloomy,' said Titus.
第六章Awooga Awooga Awooga Awooga !第二天早上,威洛和泰德给了莎伦一个大大的拥抱,早早地离开了大篷车。 两人都兴奋地说着要去参加Anoushka Wispy的试镜。 他们离开后,沙伦叹了口气,啄了一口提图斯刚烤好的羊角面包。 “也许今天是你找回魔力的日子!”提图斯又在泡一壶茶,他叽叽喳喳地说。 “也许吧,”莎伦说,疲惫地把头搁在一小滩果酱里。 “醒来吧醒来吧!起床了!弗兰克嚷道,他比平时高兴多了。 “病人怎么样了?”“她看起来很忧郁,”提图斯说。
'Well, I've had a fantastic idea to get our crow pal up and running again,' said Frank. 'And it means eating less pastries, and more PUNISHMENT MUESLI.' 'Oh no!' cried Titus. 'Not punishment muesli! The poor bird is suffering enough!' Punishment muesli was a horrendous breakfast that Titus sometimes ate when he was feeling sad. It was so disgusting and miserable it somehow made him happier. Euw! This looks disgusting! 'Let me ask you a question,' said Frank. 'Who's the most calm, steady, non-partyish animal in all of Grimwood?' There was a long pause. 'Errrrrm,' said Titus, grinding his hoof into the table. 'SOME people may even call this animal "boring",' continued Frank. 'But they would be wrong. So very wrong!' Titus stroked his nostrils thoughtfully. 'I suppose I can, erm, think of someone,' said Titus, trying not to look directly at Frank. 'Awwwwkward,' said an ant, poking out of the sugar bowl. 'Don't worry,' laughed Frank. 'It's ME, isn't it? I'm the most sensible animal in Grimwood, aren't I? Or, as some may say, I am dull and boring.'
“嗯,我有一个好主意,可以让我们的乌鸦朋友重新振作起来,”弗兰克说。 “这意味着少吃糕点,多吃惩罚麦片。”“哦,不!”提图斯喊道。 “不是惩罚麦片!”这可怜的鸟儿已经受够苦了!”惩罚什锦早餐是一种可怕的早餐,当提图斯感到悲伤时,他有时会吃。 这是如此令人作呕和痛苦,不知何故使他更快乐。 Euw !这看起来真恶心!“让我问你一个问题,”弗兰克说。 “谁是格里姆伍德最冷静、最稳重、最不喜欢派对的动物?”沉默了很长时间。 “呃……”提图斯说着,用蹄子在桌子上蹭来蹭去。 “有些人甚至会说这种动物‘无聊’,”弗兰克继续说道。 但他们错了。大错特错!”提图斯若有所思地抚摸着鼻孔。 “我想我可以,嗯,想到一个人,”提图斯说,尽量不直视弗兰克。 一只蚂蚁从糖碗里探出头来。 “别担心,”弗兰克笑着说。 “是我,是吗?”我是格里姆伍德最明智的动物,不是吗? 或者,就像有些人说的,我沉闷乏味。”
'Weeeell,' said Titus. 'I wouldn't call it dull. I'd call it… reliable.' 'It's fine,' said Frank. 'The important thing is, I am the total opposite to Sharon the Party Crow.' 'So?' said Titus. 'So, Sharon just needs to spend the day with me! She'll be bored stiff. And I bet you, that by the end of our time together, she will be so bored she will ping back to her usual loud, unbearable self.' And Frank folded his wings, because he was feeling very pleased with himself. Titus shrugged. 'I suppose anything's worth a go,' he said. 'OK, let's give Sharon the Saddest Day Ever!' 'Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!' cheered Frank, which was a very weird thing for him to do. I'm not entirely sure these animals are medical professionals. Anoushka Wispy had decorated the Grimwood Players' stage with flowers in glass jars, and furry rugs. It looked posh and cosy and delightful. Anoushka herself was sitting cross-legged on top of a big fluffy cushion. Her eyes were shut, her paws
“好吧,”提图斯说。“我不会说它乏味。 我认为它…可靠。“没事,”弗兰克说。 “重要的是,我和派对乌鸦莎伦完全相反。“所以呢?提图斯说。 “所以,莎伦只需要和我一起度过一天!”她会烦死的。 我敢跟你打赌,等我们在一起的时间结束了,她会觉得很无聊,又会变回她平时那个大声嚷嚷、让人难以忍受的样子。”弗兰克收起了翅膀,因为他对自己感到非常满意。 提图斯耸耸肩。“我想任何事情都值得一试,”他说。 “好吧,让我们给莎伦一个最悲伤的一天!”“Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay !弗兰克欢呼道,这对他来说是一件很奇怪的事。 我不确定这些动物是不是医学专家。 Anoushka Wispy用玻璃罐里的鲜花和毛茸茸的地毯装饰了格里姆伍德玩家的舞台。 它看起来豪华、舒适、令人愉快。 阿努什卡自己正盘腿坐在一个毛茸茸的大垫子上。 她的眼睛闭着,爪子也闭着
were pressed together and she had a massive sleepy smile on her face. Some wibbly harp music was playing softly out of a speaker in front of her. 'Cor, I just love Anoushka's style,' sighed Ted. 'She always looks so cool.' 'Chill, Tedders,' said Willow. 'Don't be too gushy. You don't want her to think you're in love with her or anything, that would be massively cringe.' As more hopeful dancers gathered in front of Anoushka, Ted suddenly got the wibbles. He chewed his paw and started quietly moaning. 'Now what?' hissed Willow. 'What if I'm rubbish at dancing?' fretted Ted. 'You know you're not,' said Willow. 'I'd never be friends with someone who couldn't dance.' 'That's not true,' said Ted, thinking about Wiggy, Frank and Nancy, who were all terrible dancers. 'Yeah, but we do routines together, Ted. We're amazing, remember?' She started to violently shake Ted backwards and forwards. 'Get your head in the game, soldier!' she barked, slapping Ted's face with a spare leg warmer. 'Ow, ow, OK, OK!' spluttered Ted. They were gently pulled apart by Anoushka Wispy, who had loped over to them. 'Heyyyy, so, um… violence isn't really, like, the vibe here,' she said. 'Are you guys cool with that?' 'Y-y-yes, Anoushka! Sorry, Anoushka,' spluttered Ted.
我们紧紧地挤在一起,她脸上挂着睡意朦胧的微笑。 她面前的扩音器里传出轻柔的竖琴音乐。 “唉,我就是喜欢阿努什卡的风格,”泰德叹了口气。 “她总是看起来很酷。“冷静,泰德,”威罗说。 “不要太多愁善感。你不想让她觉得你爱上她了,那就太让人害怕了。”当更多充满希望的舞者聚集在阿努什卡面前时,泰德突然浑身起了泡泡。 他咬着爪子,开始轻声呻吟。 “现在什么?威洛嘶嘶地说。 “如果我跳舞跳得很烂怎么办?”泰德烦躁地问。 “你知道你不是,”威罗说。 “我永远不会和不会跳舞的人做朋友。“那不是真的,”泰德说,想着维吉、弗兰克和南希,他们都跳得很糟糕。 “是的,但是我们一起做常规动作,泰德。 我们是了不起的,记得吗?”她开始猛烈地前后摇晃泰德。 “把你的注意力放在游戏上,士兵!”她咆哮着,用一个多余的暖腿器打了泰德的脸。 “噢,噢,好吧,好吧!”泰德气急败坏地说。 他们被阿努什卡·维斯皮轻轻地拉开了,他跑到他们身边。 她说:“嘿,所以,嗯……暴力并不是这里真正的氛围。” “你们不介意吗?”“是的,阿努什卡!”“对不起,阿努什卡。”泰德结结巴巴地说。
Willow half-closed her eyes, put her paws on her hips and pretended she was chewing bubble gum. 'Sure,' she shrugged. 'Like, whatever.' By now, the stage was full of wannabe dancers warming up their paws and tails. 'OK, everybody, let's start with some stretches,' trilled Anoushka. Because she was a hare, she had extremely long legs and as she raised her paws to the sky she seemed to double in size. 'Nnnnnggggf!' grunted Willow, who had slightly shorter legs but was determined to get as high as Anoushka. Then Anoushka fiddled with the speaker and suddenly much faster music was blaring out. 'OK, I wanna see you freestyle! Show me your best moves and I can, like, see what I've got to work with here.' Ted and Willow grinned at each other. This was their chance to GO FOR IT. They busted out some of their wildest moves. Ted did a little tap-dance while Willow jived on his shoulders. Then Willow jumped off Ted and wiggled on the ground like a caterpillar. Ted span on his head really fast. Then they held paws and danced the foxtrot so quickly their legs were just a blur. Everyone else stopped dancing and formed a circle around Ted and Willow, clapping and whooping as they got faster and faster, until, in a final flourish, Ted threw Willow high into the air. She did a triple somersault and landed on Ted's head, just as the music stopped.
威洛半闭着眼睛,把爪子放在屁股上,假装在嚼泡泡糖。 “当然,”她耸耸肩。“等,等等。”此时,舞台上挤满了想要跳舞的人,他们正在热身自己的爪子和尾巴。 “好了,各位,让我们开始做一些伸展运动,”阿努什卡颤音地说。 因为她是一只野兔,所以她的腿特别长,当她把爪子伸向天空时,她的大小似乎增加了一倍。 “Nnnnnggggf !威洛咕哝着说,她的腿比阿努什卡短一些,但她决心要爬到和阿努什卡一样高的地方。 接着,阿努什卡拨弄了一下扬声器,突然,快得多的音乐响起来了。 “好吧,我想看你freestyle!”把你最好的舞步展示给我,我就能看看我在这里能做些什么。”泰德和威洛相视而笑。 这是他们争取成功的机会。 他们表演了一些最疯狂的动作。 泰德跳了一段踢踏舞,威洛在他肩膀上跳起舞来。 然后威洛从泰德身上跳下来,像毛毛虫一样在地上扭动。 泰德的头翻得很快。 然后它们抓着爪子跳起狐步舞,跳得快得腿都模糊了。 其他人都停止了跳舞,围在泰德和威洛周围,随着他们越跳越快,大家鼓掌欢呼,直到最后,泰德把威洛高高抛向空中。 她翻了三个筋斗,落在泰德的头上,就在这时音乐停止了。
