Gordon · 3 Wins It All

Part 4

He cheated! There's no way he threw that! YOU'RE JUST A SORE LOSER! I WIN! I WIN! NAH NAH NA NAH NA! I WIN EVERYTHING! Gordon is so pleased to have won the whole Grand Tournament. Now everyone will know he's the best. He'll get his medals and his prize money and people will carry him on their shoulders and make him mayor of Grover Gardens. Gordon climbs onto the podium and raises his wings in the air-waiting for the crowd to cheer.

他作弊了! 他绝对投不出那个成绩! 你就是输不起! 我赢了! 我赢了! 呐呐呐呐呐! 我什么都赢了! 戈登赢下了整个盛大锦标赛,心里别提多得意了。 现在所有人都会知道他是最厉害的。 他会拿到奖牌和奖金,大家会把他扛在肩膀上,还会选他当格罗弗花园的市长。 戈登爬上领奖台,朝空中举起翅膀——等着人群为他欢呼。

But there is no one in the stadium. They've all gone home. Anthony too. And even the Meanest Goose Society has left. Gordon is alone. Gordon is beginning to realize what he's done-He's upset the whole town!

可体育场里一个人都没有。 大家都回家了。 安东尼也走了。 连“最坏鹅鹅协会”的成员都离开了。 戈登孤零零的。 戈登这才反应过来自己做了什么——他惹得全镇子的人都不高兴了!

Gordon hurries to Anthony's house. ANTHONY! I'M SO SORRY! I WAS TRICKED! NONE OF IT WAS MY FAULT! There's the sound of trotters on the wooden floor and then the door opens. Anthony looks very cross. Gordon! You may not be a completely good goose just yet; I understand that. Change takes time. But don't blame anyone else. I saw the mean geese help you to cheat, but it was you who cheated. To be good, you have to admit to your mistakes. And with that, Anthony closes his door.

戈登急匆匆赶去安东尼家。 安东尼! 我真的太抱歉了! 我是被骗了! 这一切都不是我的错! 木地板上传来蹄子的脚步声,接着门开了。 安东尼看起来气得不行。 戈登! 我知道,你可能现在还不算一只完全的好鹅。 改变是需要时间的。 但别把责任推到别人身上。 我看见那些坏鹅帮你作弊了,但作弊的人是你自己。 要当个好鹅,你得先承认自己的错误。 说完这话,安东尼就关上了门。

Gordon has not felt this sad in a long time. He's been so focused on winning at all costs that he's forgotten about how his actions might make other people feel. When Gordon takes a walk the next day, people avoid him. Mrs Elephant has baked a lovely pie, but it's not for Gordon. He is supposed to meet Anthony for their weekly litter collecting at the park, but Anthony doesn't show up.

戈登好久都没这么难过了。 他一门心思只想不惜一切代价赢,完全忘了自己的行为会给别人带来什么感受。 第二天戈登出门散步的时候,大家都躲着他。 大象太太烤了个香喷喷的派,可那不是给戈登的。 他本来该和安东尼去公园进行每周一次的垃圾捡拾活动,可安东尼根本没来。

Gordon is all alone. And so that night, Gordon does something he never thought he would do again— he attends the monthly Meanest Goose Society meeting at The Old Bakery. THE OLD BAKERY "Ha ha! Our plan worked," honk the other geese when they see Gordon walk through the door. "We knew you would come back sooner or later. You're a bad goose and this is where bad geese belong. Welcome back. Take a seat. Have some bread."

戈登彻底孤单了。 于是那天晚上,戈登做了一件他以为自己再也不会做的事——他去老面包店参加“最坏鹅鹅协会”的月度例会了。 老面包店 “哈哈! 我们的计划成功了,”其他鹅看见戈登走进门,都嘎嘎叫着说。 “我们就知道你早晚都会回来的。 你是只坏鹅,坏鹅就该待在这儿。 欢迎回来。 坐吧。 吃点面包。”

Gordon sits down. It feels good to be wanted. And it feels great to not be alone any more. He eats some bread. Pin-Eye Tula stands up and speaks to them all. "Today, our first task will be getting Anthony the Piglet back for trying to take Gordon away from us. We'll teach that piglet a lesson he won't forget!" Of course Gordon wants to say NO WAY! But he is starting to feel less sad and he doesn't want that feeling to go away just yet. So he listens as Pin-Eye Tula explains.

戈登坐了下来。 被人需要的感觉真好。 再也不用孤零零的,这感觉太棒了。 他吃了点面包。 斜眼图拉站起来,对着所有人讲话。 “今天,我们第一个任务就是报复小猪安东尼,谁让他想把戈登从我们身边抢走。 我们要给那小猪点颜色看看,让他一辈子都忘不了!” 戈登当然想大喊“没门!” 可他现在渐渐不那么难过了,他还不想让这种好心情马上消失。 所以他就听着斜眼图拉继续解释计划。
