Chapter 3

CHAPTER THREE Ice-cream, Marbles and a Swimming Pool After a minute or two Joe woke up. He rubbed his eyes and sat up. Not far off he saw something that pleased him. It was an ice- cream seller. The man was ringing his bell loudly.

第三章 冰淇淋、弹珠和游泳池 过了一两分钟，乔醒了。 他揉了揉眼睛，坐了起来。 不远处，他看到了一样让他开心的东西。 是个卖冰淇淋的小贩。 那人正使劲摇着手里的铃铛。

"Hey, Moon-Face! Wake up!" cried Joe. "There's an ice-cream man. Have you got any money?" Everyone woke up. Moon-Face felt in his money bag and then stared in great surprise. It was full of marbles. "Now who put marbles there?" he wondered.

“嘿，月亮脸！ 快醒醒！”乔喊道。 “有个卖冰淇淋的叔叔在那儿。 你带钱了吗？” 大家都醒了。 月亮脸伸手摸了摸钱袋，接着惊讶地瞪大了眼睛。 钱袋里装满了弹珠。 “是谁把弹珠放进来的呀？”他心里纳闷。

The ice-cream man drove up. "Marbles will do to pay for my ice-cream," he said. So Moon-Face paid him six marbles.

卖冰淇淋的人开着车过来了。 “弹珠也能用来买我的冰淇淋哦。”他说。 于是月亮脸给了他六颗弹珠当钱。

The man gave them each a bag and drove off, ringing his bell. Moon-Face opened his bag, expecting to find a delicious ice- cream there- but inside there was a big whistle! It was really odd.

那人给了他们每人一个小袋子，就摇着铃铛开车走了。 月亮脸打开袋子，满心以为里面会有好吃的冰淇淋——可里面居然是个大哨子！ 这可太奇怪了。

Everyone else had a whistle too. "How extraordinary!" said Rick. "This is the kind of thing that happens in dreams!" "Well- after all- this is Dreamland!" said Beth. "I wonder if these whistles blow!"

其他人拿到的也都是哨子。 “太神奇啦！”里克说。 这种事只有做梦才会碰到呀！” “哎呀——毕竟——这里就是梦境国呀！”贝丝说。 “不知道这些哨子能不能吹响呢？”
