Chapter 2

Chapter 2 "What?" asked Sydney. "Fly!" said Taylor. "Like a bird! I will finally see the Whole Wide World!" Sydney tried not to laugh. He covered his mouth. He scrunched his toes. He even bit the tip of his tongue.

第二章“什么？”西德尼问。 “飞！”泰勒说。“像只鸟！”我终于可以看到整个世界了！”西德尼忍住不笑。 他捂住嘴。他揉了揉脚趾。 他甚至咬着自己的舌尖。

But it was no use. Sydney laughed so hard he accidentally squirted some musk. Taylor stamped his foot. "You are not being a good friend!" "I'm sorry, Taylor!" said Sydney, gasping for air. "It's just that—a flying hedgehog?" Sydney fell to the ground, laughing.

但是没有用。西德尼笑得太厉害了，不小心喷出了一些麝香。 泰勒跺了跺脚。“你不是个好朋友！”“对不起，泰勒！”西德尼喘着气说。 “只是——一只会飞的刺猬？”西德尼笑着倒在地上。

"Other animals fly!" said Taylor. "Yes," said Sydney, "but other animals have wings." "Then I will get wings!" said Taylor. "I will make them. Or find them. Or borrow them."

“其他动物会飞！”泰勒说。 “是的，”西德尼说，“但是其他动物也有翅膀。” “那我就有翅膀了！”泰勒说。 “我来做。或者找到他们。 或者借。”

"Wings are not something you can make or find or borrow," said Sydney. "You must be born with wings." Taylor glared at Sydney. "A friend would help another friend fly," said Taylor. "I am going to fly all by myself!" Taylor stomped off. Sydney was loyal, as all skunks are. He helped Taylor with his Big Ideas, no matter how silly they were. But this Big Idea was impossible. Hedgehogs could not fly.

“翅膀不是你能制造、找到或借到的东西，”西德尼说。 “你一定是生下来就有翅膀的。” 泰勒怒视着西德尼。“朋友会帮助另一个朋友飞起来，”泰勒说。 “我要一个人飞！”泰勒跺着脚走开了。 西德尼很忠诚，就像所有臭鼬一样。 他帮助泰勒实现了他的伟大想法，不管这些想法有多愚蠢。 但这个伟大的想法是不可能的。 刺猬不会飞。
