Chapter 8

CHAPTER 4 Frillback quickly makes a wing-roof, and they all hide under it. "I'll see you later." "Not yet- we need you!" Homey feels defeated. Ermine is just too clever. He's outwitted them at every stage. If only Homey could remember where he hid Kakapo.

第四章 卷羽鸽飞快用翅膀搭成一个顶篷，大家都躲到了下面。 “咱们回头见。” “别啊——我们需要你！” 霍米觉得挫败极了。 白鼬实在太聪明了。 他每一步都把他们耍得团团转。 要是霍米能想起自己把鸮鹦鹉藏在哪儿就好了。

He loves bread crumbs. But Homey would never put Kakapo in danger just to have a snack. And didn't he say he hid Kakapo in the safest place in the city? Homey's eyes grow as big as bread loaves. "I know where I hid Kakapo," he cries. "And it's not the bakery."

他超爱面包屑的。 但霍米绝不会为了吃一口小零食，就让鸮鹦鹉陷入危险。 他之前不是说自己把鸮鹦鹉藏在城里最安全的地方了吗？ 霍米的眼睛瞪得跟长条面包一样大。 “我知道我把鸮鹦鹉藏在哪儿了！”他大叫起来。 “而且不是面包店。”

"It's time to beat it," says Rock. "And by IT, I mean OUR WINGS!" "Follow me, PIGS!" Homey shouts. The pigeons speed through the city. "Are you sure?" "I'm pretty sure." They land in the arms of the big old pine tree. Grandpouter and Tumbler are there, waiting. "Hi!"

“该溜了！”洛克说。 “我说的‘溜’，就是扇动咱们的翅膀飞啊！” “跟我来， pigeon 小队！” 霍米大喊道。 鸽子们飞快地穿梭在城市上空。 “你确定吗？” 我相当确定。” 他们落在了那棵高大的老松树的树杈间。 凸胸鸽爷爷和翻飞鸽已经在那儿等着了。 “嗨！”

Homey spreads his wings wide. "PIGS, I DID hide Kakapo in the safest place in the city," he says. "And everyone knows the safest place is wherever the REAL PIGEONS are." "What are you saying, Homey?" says Rock. "Did you hide Kakapo in my feathers?" "Did I wrap myself around Kakapo and not notice?" "I'll bet I hid Kakapo in this very tree," says Homey. "Because this is where you all were."

霍米把翅膀张得大大的。 “小队的伙伴们，我确实把鸮鹦鹉藏在了城里最安全的地方。”他说。 “而且大家都知道，最安全的地方，就是真正的 pigeon 小队所在的地方呀。” “霍米，你这话是什么意思？”洛克问。 “你难道把鸮鹦鹉藏在我的羽毛里了？” “难道我把鸮鹦鹉裹在自己羽毛里，自己都没发现？” “我敢说我就是把鸮鹦鹉藏在这棵树上了。”霍米说。 “因为你们大家都在这儿呀。”

The pigeons look all over the tree. Between branches. Under leaves. Until there's only one place left to check. Homey flies up to the wasp's nest at the very top of the tree. He tips it over. Homey is about to make a huge discovery. OR get very stung.

鸽子们把整棵树都搜了个遍。 树枝缝隙里都找了。 叶子底下也翻了。 最后只剩下一个地方没检查了。 霍米飞到树顶最高处的那个马蜂窝旁。 他把蜂窝掀翻了。 霍米马上就要有个重大发现了。 不然就是要被蛰得满头包。

Thankfully, there are no wasps. Just a large green bird. "KAKAPO IS HERE!" cries Kakapo. "Woo-coo!"

幸好，里面根本没有黄蜂。 只有一只大大的绿色鸟儿。 “鸮鹦鹉在这儿呢！” 鸮鹦鹉大叫道。 “呜——咕！”
