Gordon · 1 The Meanest Goose On Earth

Part 4

LET'S DIG A DEEP HOLE OUTSIDE ANTHONY'S HOUSE AND PUT LEAVES OVER THE TOP, SO HE WON'T SEE THAT IT'S A HOLE, AND WHEN ANTHONY FALLS IN, WE ASK HIM WHY HE GAVE YOU THE FLOWER! Everyone is shocked. Shouty never has good ideas. But this one seems good and mean. "Brilliant," says Gordon. "We'll get to the bottom of this, but not before Anthony the Piglet gets to the bottom of that deep hole!"

咱们去安东尼家房子外面挖个深坑,在上面盖满树叶,这样他就看不见底下是坑啦。等安东尼掉进去,咱们就问他为什么要送你花! 大家都惊呆了。 小霸王之前从来没出过什么好主意。 但这次的点子听起来又棒又坏。 “太妙了。”戈登说。 “咱们肯定能把这件事查得水落石出,不过得等小猪安东尼先掉进那个深坑的坑底再说!”

And so, all through the night the five members of the Meanest Goose Society dig a deep hole, right outside Anthony's house. Well, only four members do any actual digging. Gordon doesn't help. He's the MEANEST! Just before the sun comes up, the mean geese cover the hole with branches and leaves. And then they hide behind some old dustbins, and they wait. At 7:05 the front door opens and out steps Anthony. He's got a lovely mug of hot chocolate. He takes a sip and then steps down onto the path, then he walks right...

于是,一整夜的时间,“最坏大鹅协会”的五个成员就在安东尼家房子外面挖着深坑。 哦,其实只有四个成员真的在挖土。 戈登没帮忙。 他可是最最最坏的! 就在太阳快升起的时候,这些坏大鹅用树枝和树叶把洞口盖得严严实实。 然后他们躲到几个旧垃圾桶后面,等着看好戏。 7点05分的时候,前门打开了,安东尼走了出来。 他手里端着一杯热乎乎的美味巧克力。 他抿了一口,走下台阶到了小路上,然后直直地朝着……

AROUND the hole! Anthony is a piglet, but Anthony wasn't born yesterday! "What now?" whispers Gordon. "Well, you could just... ask him why he gave you the flower," says Pin-Eye Tula. "But that way he doesn't fall down a hole." "No, I suppose he doesn't. But you would still find out about the flower." Gordon steps out from behind the dustbins. Anthony stops. WHY DID YOU GIVE ME THIS FLOWER?

坑的边上绕过去了! 安东尼是只小猪,可他又不是昨天才刚出生的小傻蛋! “现在怎么办?”戈登小声问。 “嗯,你其实可以……直接去问他为什么送你花呀。”斜眼图拉说。 “不过这样的话他就不会掉进坑里了。” “是哦,确实不会掉进去。 但你还是能知道花到底是怎么回事呀。” 戈登从垃圾桶后面走了出来。 安东尼停下了脚步。 你为什么要送我这朵花?

"Well," says Anthony. You were so mean to me that I wondered whether anyone had ever actually been kind to you." YOU'RE A SILLY PIGLET AND SMELL LIKE... But before Gordon can finish talking, Anthony gives him a great big hug. It's OK," says Anthony. "You'll get there." Then Anthony lets go of Gordon and walks into town.

“嗯,”安东尼开口说。 你对我总是凶巴巴的,我就想知道,是不是从来都没有人好好对你好过呀。” 你这只蠢小猪,身上闻起来就像…… 可戈登还没把话说完,安东尼就给了他一个大大的拥抱。 “没关系的。”安东尼说。 “你慢慢就会懂啦。” 然后安东尼松开了戈登,往镇子的方向走去。

"I can't BELIEVE that piglet!" shouts Honk Tooth. "How DARE he?" shouts Jerry Coolshades. "We'll GET him for this!" shouts Coolshades. Tula. Shouty McGoosen shouts. WHY DO THEY CALL IT A SANDWICH? But Gordon doesn't say a single word. Not one.

“我真不敢相信那只小猪居然敢这么做!”豁牙昂克大叫道。 “他怎么敢啊?”戴酷墨镜的杰瑞大喊。 “我们一定会找他算账的!”酷墨镜喊着。 图拉。 大嗓门麦古森大声嚷嚷起来。 为什么大家要管那个东西叫三明治啊? 可戈登一句话都没说。 一个字都没说。

The next morning, Gordon goes down to the beach and sits alone and watches the waves. He doesn't even throw rubbish into the sea or stomp on children's sandcastles like he normally does.

第二天早上,戈登走到海滩边,一个人坐着看海浪起起伏伏。 他甚至没像往常那样往海里扔垃圾,也没去踩坏小朋友堆的沙堡。
