Chapter 3

Chapter 3 "Now?" gasped Taylor. "Right this very minute?" "There's no time like the present," said Sydney, heading upstairs. "But we don't even know how to make friends!" said Taylor.

“现在？”泰勒喘着气说。 “就在此刻？”“没有比现在更好的时间了。”西德尼说着上楼去了。 “但我们甚至不知道如何交朋友！”泰勒说。

"We'll figure it out as we go," said Sydney boldly. "It will be like our Great Expedition." "A Friend Expedition?" asked Taylor. "Exactly!" said Sydney.

“我们边走边想办法。”西德尼大胆地说。 “就像我们的大远征一样。” “朋友远征？”泰勒问。 “没错！”西德尼说。

"But who will be our friends?" asked Taylor. "Whatever animals we meet," said Sydney. He was thinking about lunch. He hoped making friends wouldn't take very long. "After all," he said brightly, "we already have one friend in the Backyard: Miss Nancy." Taylor stared. "Miss Nancy?"

“但谁会成为我们的朋友呢？”泰勒问。 “不管我们遇到什么动物，”西德尼说。 他在想午饭的事。 他希望交朋友不要花太长时间。 “毕竟，”他高兴地说，“我们在后院已经有了一个朋友：南希小姐。” 泰勒盯着。“南希小姐?”

Taylor's spine began to curl. He was in awe of Miss Nancy. And maybe a little afraid of her. Hedgehogs curl up when they are frightened. "Now, Taylor," said Sydney. "Don't you start to curl!" "But we've never met Miss Nancy!" said Taylor. "Oh my! Miss Nancy. She is not a friend!"

泰勒的脊椎开始卷曲起来。 他敬畏南希小姐。 也许还有点怕她。 刺猬受惊时会蜷缩起来。 “好了，泰勒，”西德尼说。 “你不要开始卷曲！”“可我们从来没见过南希小姐啊！”泰勒说。 “哦,我的天!南希小姐。她不是我的朋友！”

"Sure she is!" said Sydney. "Friends are like that great tree root over there. They show up when you least expect them!" He paused and thought for a moment. "Of course, then you can never get rid of them!"

“她当然是！”西德尼说。 “朋友就像那边那棵大树根。 他们会在你最意想不到的时候出现！”他停下来想了一会儿。 “当然，那样你就永远摆脱不了它们了！”

"What does that mean?" asked Taylor. "I have no idea!" shouted Sydney cheerfully. "Come on! We'll have our next great adventure. And then we'll have lunch." So together they stepped out into the Whole Wide World.

“这是什么意思？”泰勒问。 “我不知道！”西德尼高兴地喊道。 “来吧!我们将迎来下一次伟大的冒险。 然后我们吃午饭。” 于是他们一起走进了整个广阔的世界。
