CHAPTER 4 NINETY-NINE AND A HALF CHEESE PUFFS After the children left, Fergus and Zeke climbed out of their cage to explore. "There must be one hundred of something in our classroom," Fergus said. First they checked Miss Maxwell's desk. "I found some paper clips!" Zeke called.

孩子们走后，费格斯和齐克爬出笼子去探险。 “我们教室里一定有一百个什么东西。”费格斯说。 首先，他们检查了麦克斯韦尔小姐的书桌。 “我找到了一些回形针！”齐克。

But when he counted, there were only seventy. "How about crayons?" said Fergus. "Or pencils? Or something from the first-aid kit?" But there were only sixty-four crayons in Neela's crayon box...

但当他数的时候，只有七十个。 “蜡笔怎么样？”费格斯说。 “还是铅笔?还是急救箱里的东西？”但是尼拉的蜡笔盒里只有64支蜡笔……

forty-one pencils in the sharing jar... and fifty-two bandages in the first-aid kit.

共用的罐子里有41支铅笔…… 急救箱里还有52块绷带。

"It's impossible to find one hundred of anything!" Fergus looked around the room. "And now we have made one hundred messes." "It's okay," Zeke said. He was nibbling a cheese puff. "We still have time to search. And time to clean up." "Zeke?" Fergus said. "Where did you get that cheese puff?" Zeke didn't answer. Fergus ran to the shelf with the hundredth-day projects. When he counted Lucy's cheese puffs, there were only ninety-nine. "Zeke!" Fergus grabbed the cheese puff. "You almost ruined Lucy's project." Fergus climbed up to the project shelf and put the cheese puff back.

“任何东西都不可能找到一百个！”费格斯环顾了一下房间。 “现在我们已经弄得一团糟了。” “没关系，”齐克说。他在啃一块奶酪泡芙。 “我们还有时间搜索。 是时候打扫了。”“齐克?”费格斯说。 “你从哪儿弄来的奶酪泡芙？”齐克没有回答。 费格斯拿着第一百天的项目跑到架子上。 他数了数露西的芝士泡芙，只有九十九个。 “齐克!”费格斯抓起奶酪泡芙。 “你差点毁了露西的项目。” 费格斯爬上架子，把奶酪泡芙放回原处。
