65 THE INVITATION

CHAPTER 65 THE INVITATION Roz was the first to arrive at the next Dawn Truce. She had an important announcement to make. The robot patiently waited in the Great Meadow as the sky slowly brightened and the animals slowly gathered. And once everyone was milling around and chatting, Roz began speaking in her perkiest voice. "Pardon the interruption! If I could please have a moment of your time!" The crowd settled down and listened to their robot friend. "We made it through a terrible winter. A new generation of youngsters is arriving. And my son, Brightbill, has just returned to the island with his flock. I think we can all agree that there is much to celebrate. So in addition to the Dawn Truce this morning, I would like us to have another truce this evening. We can call it the Evening Truce, or better yet, the Party Truce!" The crowd began chattering with excitement. "I have planned a celebration!" Roz continued.

第六十五章邀请下一次黎明休战时，罗兹是第一个到达的。 她要宣布一件重要的事。 机器人耐心地等待在大草地上，天空慢慢变亮，动物慢慢聚集起来。 当所有人都围在一起聊天时，罗兹开始用她最活泼的声音说话。 “请原谅我的打扰！”我能占用你一点时间吗？”人群安静下来，听他们的机器人朋友讲话。 “我们熬过了一个可怕的冬天。 新一代的年轻人正在到来。 我的儿子布莱特比尔，刚刚带着他的羊群回到岛上。 我想我们都同意有很多事情值得庆祝。 所以除了今早的黎明休战，我希望今晚我们能再休战一次。 我们可以称它为晚间休战，或者更好一点，叫党派休战！”人群开始兴奋地叽叽喳喳起来。 “我计划了一个庆祝活动！”警察仍在继续。

"And you are all invited! I will take care of everything. Just please meet back here at dusk. Oh! And I have a little surprise. Actually, it is not little— it is quite large. The point is, I have planned a celebration, and I hope to see you all there." "Sounds great, Roz, but I'm afraid there's one problem with your plan." Mr. Beaver blinked his beady eyes. "The moon won't be out this evening, so it'll be too dark for some of us to see!" "You are half-correct!" said Roz. "Tonight will be moonless, but it will not be dark. I promise. Now, if you will excuse me, I must prepare for our party. I will see everyone back here at dusk! Good-bye!"

“你们都被邀请了！”我会处理好一切的。 请黄昏时在这里见面。 哦!我有个小惊喜。 事实上，它并不小——它相当大。 重点是，我计划了一个庆祝活动，希望你们都能去。” “听起来不错，罗兹，但恐怕你的计划有一个问题。” 比弗先生眨了眨他的大眼睛。 “今天晚上月亮不会出来，所以太黑了，我们有些人看不见！”“你说对了一半！”罗兹说。 “今晚没有月亮，但不会天黑。 我保证。现在，如果你不介意的话，我得为我们的聚会做准备了。 黄昏时我将在这里见大家！再见!”
