Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE The Battle of the Bears Goldilocks, the Three Bears, the girls, and Moon-Face all went out of the little cottage. How strange it seemed to see roses blossoming over the walls, when ice and snow lay all around! "The thing is— where do we go to find the polar bears?" said Goldilocks. "Over there, towards the sun, said the father bear. Beth and Frannie were surprised to see both the moon and the sun shining in the sky. They followed the father bear, slipping and sliding, and holding on to one another. It was very cold, and their noses and toes felt as if they were freezing.

第五章 大熊之战 金发姑娘、三只熊、女孩们还有月亮脸都从小木屋走了出来。 四周全是冰雪覆盖，却看见墙上爬满了盛开的玫瑰，这景象多奇怪呀！ “问题是——我们要去哪儿找北极熊呀？”金发姑娘问。 “往那边，朝着太阳的方向走。”熊爸爸说。 贝丝和弗兰妮看见天空里同时亮着月亮和太阳，都惊讶极了。 他们跟在熊爸爸后面，一路滑滑溜溜的，互相搀扶着往前走。 天气冷极了，他们的鼻子和脚趾头都冻得快要失去知觉了。

Suddenly they saw the little snow-house that Joe had built for the Magic Snowman. "Look!" said the father bear. "We'd better make for that."

忽然，他们看见了乔之前给魔法雪人搭的那间小雪屋。 “看！”熊爸爸喊道。 “我们最好往那儿去。”

But before they got there a big white figure squeezed itself out of the snow-house and saw them. It was the Magic Snowman! As soon as he saw the Three Bears and the others, he began to shout loudly in a windy, snowy voice:

可还没等他们走到，一个白白的大身影就从雪屋里挤了出来，看见了他们。 是魔法雪人！ 他一看见三只熊和其他人，立刻扯着风沙沙、雪扑扑的嗓子大喊起来：

Enemies! Enemies! Hey, bears, come and send off the enemies!" "We're not enemies," yelled Moon-Face, and Goldilocks ran forward to show the Snowman that she was a little girl. But Moon-Face pulled her back. He didn't trust that old Snowman! The Snowman bent his big fat body down and picked up great handfuls of snow. He threw one at Goldilocks. She ducked down, and it passed over her and hit the baby bear. "Oooooch!" he said, and sat down in a hurry. Then everything happened at once. A crowd of white polar bears hurried out of their underground home to help the Snowman, and soon the air was full of flying snowballs.

敌人！ 敌人！ 嘿，熊们，快来把敌人赶走呀！” “我们不是敌人！”月亮脸大声喊，金发姑娘还往前跑，想让雪人看看她只是个小女孩。 可月亮脸一把把她拉了回来。 他才不信任那个老雪人呢！ 雪人弯下他胖滚滚的身子，抓起一大把一大把的雪。 他朝金发姑娘扔了一个雪球。 她赶紧蹲下，雪球从她头顶飞过去，砸到了熊宝宝。 “哎哟哟！” 他叫着，一屁股坐到了雪地上。 紧接着所有事都凑到一块儿发生了。 一群白色的北极熊匆匆从他们的地下家里跑出来帮雪人，很快天上就飞满了雪球。

The snow was hard, and the balls hurt when they hit anyone. It wasn't a bit of good the girls shouting that they were friends, not enemies. Nobody heard them, and soon

雪硬邦邦的，雪球砸到人身上可疼了。 女孩们大喊着她们是朋友，不是敌人，可一点用都没有。 没人听见她们的喊声，很快

there was a fierce battle going on! "Oh dear!" gasped Beth, trying her best to throw straight. "This is dreadful! We shall never rescue Joe by behaving like this!"

一场激烈的打雪仗就开打啦！ “哦，天呐！” 贝丝喘着气，尽量把雪球扔准点。 “这太糟糕了！ 我们这样闹下去，根本救不了乔呀！”
