Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 No pigeon wants to visit a CAT museum. Not even a REAL PIGEON. But they can't leave the Cat's Eye on the museum doorstep. Not with everyone trying to steal it. "There's got to be another way to return the emerald," says Rock.

第三章 没有鸽子愿意去猫咪博物馆参观。 哪怕是真·鸽子也不想去。 但他们总不能把“猫之眼”丢在博物馆门口。 现在所有人都想偷这块宝石，可不能就这么放着。 “肯定还有别的办法把翡翠还回去的。”洛克说。

They peer around a corner and see someone leaning out of a window, eating a burger. SLOP SLURP! "It's that museum lady, Bertie Berd-Byrd!" cries Rock. As Bertie goes back inside, the pigeons move to the ledge. It's covered in burger juice. "Hey!" cries Rock. "You're all getting dirty!"

他们躲在拐角处探头张望，看见有人正趴在窗台上吃汉堡。 吸溜吸溜！吧唧吧唧！ “是博物馆的那个阿姨，贝蒂·伯德-伯德！”洛克叫道。 等贝蒂退回屋里，鸽子们就飞到了窗沿上。 窗沿上沾的全是汉堡汁。 “嘿！”洛克喊道， “你们都要弄脏啦！”

"Chill, dude," says Homey. "We can give the Cat's Eye straight to Bertie and get out of here." They all peer inside. "When the night guard arrives at the back door at nine, tell him to keep an extra eye out for the thief!" "Yes, ma'am!" Bertie has a cat. But thankfully, he hasn't seen them yet. "How will we get past that cat?" asks Grandpouter.

“淡定嘛老兄。”霍米说。 “我们直接把猫之眼给贝蒂，马上就能走啦。” 他们都凑过去往屋里看。 “晚上九点夜班保安到后门的时候，告诉他多留心小偷！” “好的，女士！” 贝蒂养了一只猫。 不过还好，那只猫还没发现他们。 “我们要怎么躲过那只猫呀？”格兰德普特问。

"Maybe we can disguise ourselves as feather dusters?" says Rock. "Or feather earrings?" "Hey, does anyone else smell something flowery, like shampoo?" "Hello, pigeons!" The cat grabs the birds with his tail. He laughs, and it sounds like claws scratching a blackboard.

“也许我们可以伪装成鸡毛掸子？”洛克说。 “或者羽毛耳环？” “哎，你们有没有闻到香香的味道，像洗发水似的？” “你们好呀，小鸽子们！” 猫伸出尾巴一把抓住了几只小鸟。 他笑起来，声音尖利得像指甲刮黑板。

"My name is Shampoo," says the cat. "Because I shampoo myself every morning. I believe in being CLEAN! But you are typical DIRTY pigeons." "Actually, we're here to return-" "You're wrong!" shouts Rock. "Pigeons are NOT dirty." "Then why is your buddy licking up burger juice?" says Shampoo. "HOMEY!" "Technically, I'm CLEANING it up."

“我叫香香。”猫开口说。 “因为我每天早上都会给自己洗香香。 我最爱干净了！ 可你们嘛，就是典型的脏鸽子。” “其实我们是来还——”“你胡说！”洛克大喊， “鸽子才不脏呢。” “那你的朋友为什么在舔汉堡汁呀？”香香说。 “霍米！” “严格来说，我是在把这里打扫干净。”

The cat leans forward and opens his mouth. His white teeth glisten in the sun. "Now get..." "...into..." "...my..." "...hang on..." CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN "...NOW GET INTO MY MOUTH!"

猫往前凑了凑，张开了嘴。 他的白牙在阳光下闪闪发亮。 “现在给我进……” “……到……”“……我……”“……等等……” 干净干净干净干净干净干净干净干净干净干净干净干净干净干净“现在赶紧进到我嘴里来！”
