48 The Cute Quarter

48 The Cute Quarter The colours were amazing. Duck-egg blues, lime greens, fuchsia pinks and lemon yellows. This section of the Strip felt like a very happy place. Fun, too. For a start, the shops looked exactly like the items they sold. Next to the Cute Fruit stall was a small baker's in the shape of a cupcake, complete with a towering swirl of glittery, rainbow-coloured frosting. Opposite that stood an elegant teapot cafe, painted white and pink and topped with a jolly red bow. Next to that, a honey pot with mechanical bees buzzing around its chimney, and then a giant, sleepy: looking teddy bear's head, whose yawning mouth doubled up as the door. Further down the street were giant Ice creams, sunflowers, hot dogs, cacti, milk bottles and unicorns.

48 可爱街区 这里的色彩漂亮极了 鸭蛋蓝、青柠绿、樱粉和柠檬黄 条纹街的这片区域是个特别开心的地方 还处处充满乐趣 首先,商店的外形都和售卖的商品一模一样 可爱水果摊旁,有一家纸杯蛋糕造型的小面包店,顶部堆着高耸的、闪闪发光的彩虹糖霜漩涡 对面是一家雅致的茶壶咖啡馆,刷着白粉色,顶上装饰着一个喜庆的红蝴蝶结 再隔壁是蜜罐造型店铺,烟囱周围有机械蜜蜂嗡嗡打转,接着是一只硕大睡眼惺忪的泰迪熊头,它打哈欠的嘴巴正好用作店门 沿着街道再往里走,还有巨型冰淇淋、向日葵、热狗、仙人掌、奶瓶和独角兽造型的建筑

Don't tell me you can actually buy a unicorn here," scoffed Rockwell. The characters filling the streets of this area were, again, of a very different nature to those that they'd encountered further up the road. For a start, they were nearly all either animals or walking, talking items of food. They were very simply drawn, with bold outlines and flat colours, but incredibly beautiful at the same time. They all had huge, shiny eyes, button noses and sweet smiles. There were no speech bubbles anywhere. Excuse me," said Peanut to a passing frog who was wearing a rather fetching kimono. "Can you tell me where we are? We're a little bit lost. Why, of course!" he said with a heart-melting smile. "This is the Cute

“你该不会说这里真能买到独角兽吧?”罗克韦尔嗤笑道 这片街区的居民,和他们刚才在上游遇到的角色性子完全不同 首先,它们几乎不是动物,就是会走路说话的食物 它们造型简约,粗线条轮廓搭配平涂色块,却又格外好看 它们个个都长着大大的亮眼睛、纽扣小鼻子和甜甜的笑容 这里到处都找不到对话气泡 “打扰一下,”皮纳特对路过的、穿了一身漂亮和服的青蛙说 “你能告诉我们现在在哪儿吗 我们有点迷路了 “当然可以啦!” 他带着能融化人心的笑容说道 “这里是可爱

Quarter. And you are all very welcome here." Of course it's the Cute Quarter," whispered Rockwell. "I think I might stay here forever, said Little-Bit. "Ooh, look at her..." Across the street, in front of a two-storey pizza slice, stood the most adorable panda that the children had ever seen. She was wearing a long grass skirt, a garland around her neck comprising of pink, red and orange flowers, and a headband to match. She looked over at them with her enormous eyes and batted her ridiculously long lashes. She smiled and sashayed over. "Why, hello there." Her voice was smooth and sweet. "My name is Lulu Kawaii. Do y'all need some help?"

街区。 非常欢迎你们来到这里。" 果然这里就是可爱街区呀。”罗克韦尔低声说 “我觉得我可能会永远留在这里。”利特比特说 “哇,你看她……" 街对面,两层楼高的披萨片造型店铺前,站着这群孩子见过的最可爱的熊猫 她穿着长长的草裙,脖子戴着粉、红、橙三色花朵编成的花环,头上还有配套发带 她睁着大大的眼睛望向他们,眨了眨长得不得了的长睫毛 她微笑着款款走了过来 “哎呀,你们好呀。" 她的声音温柔又甜美 “我的名字叫露露·卡哇伊 你们需要帮忙吗?"
