SYDNEY& TaYLOR and the Great Friend EXPeDition

西德尼、泰勒和伟大的朋友探险队

Chapter 1 Sydney and Taylor live in a burrow under Miss Nancy's potting shed. Most days are quiet. Sydney likes to do crossword puzzles. Taylor likes to make acorn sculptures. But sometimes Taylor gets a Big Idea. Sydney wishes Taylor did not get so many ideas. He would rather stay home.

第一章西德尼和泰勒住在南希小姐盆栽棚下面的一个洞里。 大多数日子都很安静。雪梨喜欢玩填字游戏。 泰勒喜欢做橡子雕塑。 但有时泰勒会有一个伟大的想法。 西德尼希望泰勒不要有这么多想法。 他宁愿呆在家里。

One morning, Taylor burst into the kitchen. "I have a Big Idea!" Sydney sighed. "What is it this time?" "We should make friends!" said Taylor. "Make friends?" asked Sydney. "Why?" Taylor had many reasons.

一天早上，泰勒冲进厨房。 “我有一个好主意！”悉尼叹了口气。 “这次又是怎么回事？”“我们应该交朋友！”泰勒说。 “交朋友？”西德尼问。 “为什么?”泰勒有很多理由。

They could have parties and picnics. They could celebrate holidays and share nut cake. They could even have dances in the Backyard under a bright full moon. You couldn't have a dance with just two friends.

他们可以举行聚会和野餐。 他们可以庆祝节日，分享坚果蛋糕。 他们甚至可以在明亮的满月下在后院跳舞。 你不能只和两个朋友跳舞。

"It will be our biggest adventure yet!" said Taylor. "I don't like adventures," said Sydney. "They make me late for lunch." "Oh, Sydney!" said Taylor. "You always like things just the way they are." "I am a very contented skunk," said Sydney. He settled into a chair while Taylor put bread in the toaster. "Besides, we are friends. Isn't that enough?"

“这将是我们最大的一次冒险！”泰勒说。 “我不喜欢冒险，”西德尼说。 “他们让我午饭迟到了。” “哦，西德尼！”泰勒说。 “你总是喜欢事物本来的样子。” “我是一只非常满足的臭鼬，”西德尼说。 泰勒把面包放进烤面包机时，他在椅子上坐了下来。 “再说，我们是朋友。这还不够吗？”
