5. Showstopper

Chapter 5 SHOWSTOPPER WEDNESDAY Dear Diary, We had our first rehearsal today. ("Rehearsal" means "practice run" in showbiz talk.) I went first and did my act onstage. Everything went perfectly!

亲爱的日记：今天我们进行了第一次排练。 （“Rehearsal”在娱乐圈用语中是“练习”的意思。）我先上台表演。 一切都很顺利！

Then it was the puppies turn. I still loved their act. Someone else loved it, too. Woooo-hoooo! What are you up to, Nutz? Just cheering on a good act!

然后轮到小狗了。 我仍然喜欢他们的表演。其他人也喜欢它。 Woooo-hoooo !你在做什么，纳茨？ 只是为一场精彩的表演欢呼而已！

I needed to keep an eye on Nutz. But it was time for Luna's act. I couldn't miss the surprise! You better not make any trouble! You have bigger things to worry about. I looked where Nutz was pointing... and I did NOT like what I saw.

我得盯着纳茨。 但卢娜的表演时间到了。 我不能错过这个惊喜！你最好别惹麻烦！你有更重要的事要担心。 我看了看纳茨指的地方…… 我不喜欢我所看到的。

Jack and Luna were pulling out a kiddie pool and a ladder. Luna was going to do a high-dive into the pool! That meant lots of WATER! I need a place to hide. NOW!

杰克和卢娜正在拉出一个儿童游泳池和一个梯子。 卢娜要在泳池里做一个高台跳水！这意味着很多水！我需要一个藏身之处。 现在!

I rushed out of the splash Zone and under the stage just in time. Guess who was hiding under there? Oh no. Did Bubby-kins almost get wet? Look who's talking. You were hiding here first.

我冲出水花区，及时跑到舞台下面。 猜猜谁躲在下面？ 哦,不。泡泡包差点被弄湿了吗？ 看看是谁在说话。你先躲在这里的。

Then it hit me. For not wanting to be in the show, Duchess was hanging around A LOT. I wanted some answers. Why ARE you here? You said you didn't want to be in the show. I never said that. I would have auditioned. But nobody asked me.

然后我恍然大悟。因为不想出现在剧中，公爵夫人经常在剧中闲逛。 我想知道答案。你为什么在这里？ 你说过你不想参加这个节目。 我从没这么说过。我会去试镜。 但没人问我。
