Chapter 7

CHAPTER 3 Homey can't believe it. "You've been hunting Kakapo?" he cries. "I am Ermine," says the weasel, sucking his thumb. "And I will not rest until I have EATEN him." "But he's endangered," gasps Rock. A mean smile creeps up Ermine's face. "Yes," he sneers. "I want to taste him before he goes extinct."

第三章 霍米简直不敢相信。 “你们一直在找鸮鹦鹉？” 他喊道。 “我是白鼬，”黄鼠狼吸着大拇指说道。 “不把他吃到肚子里，我绝不会罢休。” “可他是濒危物种啊！”洛克倒抽一口凉气。 白鼬的脸上慢慢勾起一抹恶意的笑。 “没错，”他嗤笑道。 “我就要赶在他灭绝之前尝尝他的味道。”

"I stole a boat when I saw Homey rescue him. And I've been following you ever since." "Why are you sucking your thumb?" says Barb. "Because I am starving!" screeches Ermine. "I've been hunting KAKAPO for weeks. I am saving my big hunger for him. Where is he?"

“我看见霍米救他的时候，就偷了艘船。 之后我就一直跟着你们。” “你为什么一直在吸大拇指呀？”巴布问。 “因为我快饿疯了！” 白鼬尖声叫道。 “我找鸮鹦鹉已经找了好几个星期了。 我要留着肚子，专门等吃他的时候大吃一顿。 他在哪儿？”

"I've forgotten," says Homey. He is starting to get a bad feeling in his tummy. "But even if I did know, I'd never tell you!" "As if I believe that," snarls Ermine. "Whatever, I'll find him. You don't look smart enough to win a game of hide-and-seek." Homey's bad feeling isn't hunger. It's guilt! He can feel himself starting to freak. "I'll be right back, PIGS," he says. "Are you OK?"

“我忘了。”霍米说。 他的肚子里开始冒出一种不舒服的感觉。 “就算我知道，也绝不会告诉你！” “说得好像我会信你似的。”白鼬低吼道。 “无所谓，我自己会找到他。 你们看起来笨得很，玩捉迷藏肯定赢不了我。” 霍米那不舒服的感觉不是饿。 是愧疚！ 他感觉自己快要绷不住了。 “我马上回来，伙计们。”他说。 “你没事吧？”

"Everything is coo!" says Homey. But he wanders around a corner and FREAKS OUT. "Ahhh!" "Rahhhh!" "Bahhh!" "Zahhh!" Because he hasn't saved Kakapo. He has put Kakapo in danger. Then-FREAK OUT over—he returns. "Sorry about that, PIGS," he says. "Where were we?"

“一切都好得很！”霍米说。 可他刚走到拐角处，就彻底崩溃了。 “啊！” “哇啊！” “天呐！” “呜啊！” 因为他根本没救到鸮鹦鹉。 反而把鸮鹦鹉置于危险之中了。 等崩溃劲儿过去，他又走了回来。 “刚才不好意思啊，伙计们。”他说。 “我们说到哪儿了？”

"I think you DO know where Kakapo is," says Ermine. "So I am going to hang out with you. You'll visit Kakapo eventually." He sucks his thumb and grins. "Barb, can you fetch Frillback?" whispers Rock. "We're going to need her super strength." "Sigh. I mean, sure!"

“我觉得你肯定知道鸮鹦鹉在哪儿。”白鼬说。 “所以我就跟着你们一起走。 你们早晚都会去找他的。” 他吸着大拇指，咧嘴笑了。 “巴布，你能去找卷背鸽吗？”洛克小声说。 我们需要她的超级力气。” “唉。 行吧，当然可以！”

Rock and Homey try to get rid of Ermine. "Hi!" "Hi!" "Hi!" Finally, the weasel gets distracted. "If these chips were KAKAPO-flavored, we could end this right now!" The pigeons fly off fast! Now they can concentrate on finding Kakapo.

洛克和霍米试着甩开白鼬。 “嗨！” “嗨！” “嗨！” 终于，这只黄鼠狼被分散了注意力。 “要是这些薯片是鸮鹦鹉味的，我们现在就能完事了！” 鸽子们飞快地飞走了！ 现在他们可以专心找鸮鹦鹉了。
