7. The Show Must Go On

Chapter 7 THE SHOW MUST GO ON FRIDAY Dear Diary, Today was dress rehearsal. (Dress rehearsal is showbiz for "practice run with costumes) But I fell asleep in the scrap pile last night! Duchess still didn't have a costume! Or so I thought...

第七章演出必须在星期五进行亲爱的日记：今天是彩排。 （彩排是演艺圈里“穿着戏服练习”的意思）但是我昨晚在废料堆里睡着了！公爵夫人还是没有戏服！或者我是这么想的……

Wow! Did YOU make that costume? I had to... SOMEONE fell asleep. Fair enough.

哇!那套服装是你做的吗？ 我不得不……有人睡着了。 很好。

I put on my costume, too. I hated to admit it, but Duchess and I looked amazing together. We practiced all day. The act was flawless!

我也穿上了戏服。我不愿承认，但我和公爵夫人在一起看起来棒极了。 我们练了一整天。表演完美无瑕！

When Bella and Jack got home, it was time for dress rehearsal to start. All the performers gathered backstage. For some reason, Nutz was there, too. Not you again. What are you doing? I'm sweeping. Every show needs a backstage crew. Not this show!

当贝拉和杰克回到家，是时候开始彩排了。 所有的表演者都聚集在后台。 出于某种原因，纳茨也在那里。 又不是你。你在干什么？ 我扫。每场演出都需要后台工作人员。 不是这个节目！

Duchess and I waited backstage for Bella to introduce my act. This was it— how would Bella react to Duchess's surprise appearance? I rolled onstage when Bella called my name. Here's Bub!

公爵夫人和我在后台等贝拉介绍我的表演。 就是这样——贝拉对公爵夫人的意外出现会作何反应？ 贝拉叫我的名字时，我滚上了舞台。 这是小弟弟!

I did a stunt, rolled offstage, and picked up Duchess. Then we both rolled back onstage. Huh? What's Duchess doing in Bubby's act? And WHAT is Duchess wearing?!

我做了个特技，滚下舞台，抱起了公爵夫人。 然后我们都回到了舞台上。 嗯?公爵夫人在布比的表演中做什么？ 公爵夫人穿的是什么？
