Chapter 4

CHAPTER 4 LOCKED OUT Fergus and Zeke ran around the school looking for a way in. But the only open window was on the second floor. They couldn't jump that high. "That window is too high for jumping," said Zeke. "But it's not too high for throwing. Remember how strong I am?"

费格斯和齐克在学校里跑来跑去，想找一条进去的路。 但唯一开着的窗户在二楼。 他们跳不了那么高。 “窗户太高了，跳不下去。”齐克说。 “但它并不太高，不适合投掷。 还记得我有多坚强吗？”

"You are pretty strong," said Fergus. "Are you going to throw acorns in the window?" "No," said Zeke. "I am going to throw you." Fergus did not think that was the best idea. But he curled up as small as he could and let Zeke pick him up. "Ready?" asked Zeke. Fergus did not feel ready. Zeke counted, "One... two... three!" But before Zeke could throw Fergus, he lost his balance, tipped backward, and dropped him. Whumpf! "Ow!" said Fergus. "I'm sorry, said Zeke. "You are heavier than an acorn."

“你很强壮。”费格斯说。 “你要往窗户里扔橡子吗？”“不，”齐克说。 “我要把你扔出去。” 弗格斯认为这不是一个好主意。 但他尽量蜷缩起来，让齐克把他抱起来。 “准备好了吗？”齐克问。弗格斯觉得还没有准备好。 齐克数道：“一……两个…… 三!”但齐克还没来得及把费格斯扔出去，就失去了平衡，向后倾斜，把他摔了下去。 Whumpf !“哎呀！”费格斯说。 “对不起，齐克说。“你比橡子还重。”

Fergus looked up at the high window. Then he looked at the trees and the jungle gym. "We have tried jumping and throwing," he said, "but we have not tried climbing. And mice are especially good at that." Fergus and Zeke ran to the jungle gym. They shimmied up the monkey bars and balanced along the top.

费格斯抬头看着高高的窗户。 然后他看了看树和攀爬架。 “我们试过跳跃和投掷，”他说，“但我们没有试过攀登。 老鼠在这方面尤其擅长。” 费格斯和齐克跑去爬方格架。 他们滑上单杠，在顶端保持平衡。

Then they jumped to a tree branch. They climbed higher and higher. "Look!" Fergus pointed to the open window. "That is Miss Maxwell's classroom. I see Emma!"

然后他们跳到一根树枝上。 他们爬得越来越高。 “看!”费格斯指着敞开的窗户。 “那是麦克斯韦尔小姐的教室。 我看见艾玛了！”
