SYDNEY& TaYLOR

悉尼泰勒

THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD

整个广阔的世界

Chapter 1 Taylor is a hedgehog who lives with his friend Sydney in a burrow under Miss Nancy's potting shed. Sydney, being a skunk, likes to nap in the burrow. He likes to warm his feet by the fire. He likes to listen to the strong, steady heartbeat of the earth, which you can only hear underground. Taylor likes those things, too. But sometimes Taylor gets ideas. Big Ideas!

泰勒是一只刺猬，他和他的朋友西德尼住在南希小姐盆栽棚下面的一个洞穴里。 雪梨是一只臭鼬，喜欢在洞里打盹。 他喜欢在火旁暖脚。 他喜欢听大地强烈而稳定的心跳，这种声音只有在地下才能听到。 泰勒也喜欢这些东西。 但有时泰勒也会有想法。 伟大的想法!

"Sydney," said Taylor one morning, "I have a Big Idea! We should go somewhere!" "Why?" asked Sydney. "Our burrow is perfectly perfect." "Yes, it is," said Taylor. "But wouldn't it be exciting to go someplace new?" "Old is better than new," said Sydney. "And exciting is... exhausting."

“西德尼，”泰勒一天早上说，“我有一个好主意！我们应该去个地方！”“为什么？”西德尼问。 “我们的洞穴非常完美。” “是的，是的，”泰勒说。 “但是去一个新的地方不是很令人兴奋吗？”“旧的比新的好，”西德尼说。 “令人兴奋的是……辛苦。”

Taylor sighed. "You are a very contented skunk. But I would like to see more of the Whole Wide World." Sydney wanted his friend to be happy. "Well," he said, putting down his book. "Then we will."

泰勒叹了口气。“你是一只心满意足的臭鼬。 但我想更多地看看整个广阔的世界。” 西德尼希望他的朋友幸福。 “嗯，”他放下书说。 “那我们会的。”
