3 No, No, NO!
3 不,不,不行!
"Caw! Caw!" Overhead, a flock of birds cuts across the sky. "Safe travels! See you next spring!" Gully calls to them. "Do you ever want to join your friends?" Blue asks. "It's much warmer down south during the fall and winter." "I'm already with my best friend," Gully replies. "Awww…me too," says Blue. "Besides," Gully says, "it's cozy inside with you and Mama. And even Pearl." Blue shivers. "It might be cozy inside, but it's so chilly outside," they say. "That's true. But there are nice things about being outdoors, too," says the seagull. "Like the sound of wind moving the tree branches." Blue takes a moment to listen.
“呱!呱!” 头顶上,一群鸟划过天空。 “一路平安呀! 明年春天见!” 格利对着它们喊道。 “你有没有想过和你的朋友们一起走呀?” 布鲁问道。 “秋天和冬天的时候,南方要暖和多啦。” “我已经和我最好的朋友在一起啦。”格利回答。 “哎呀……我也是呀。”布鲁说。 “再说呀,”格利说,“和你还有妈妈待在屋里可舒服了。 就连珀尔一起也挺好的。” 布鲁打了个寒颤。 “屋里是很舒服,可是外面好冷呀。”他们说。 “那倒是真的。 不过待在户外也有好玩的事呀。”海鸥说。 “比如风吹过树枝的声音呀。” 布鲁花了点时间仔细听了听。
"There's also the crunch of leaves beneath my bicycle wheels," they note. "And the crackle of our firepit in the evenings." As they arrive at Mayor Kishi's house, Blue and Gully hear some…less nice sounds. "Isla, please stop that!" "No!" "Isla, you're not listening!"
“还有我自行车轮压过树叶的咔嚓声呀。”他们补充道。 “还有晚上我们家篝火噼啪响的声音呀。” 等他们走到岸市长家的时候,布鲁和格利听到了一些……不太好听的声音。 “艾拉,快别闹了!” “不!”“艾拉,你没在听我说话呀!”
"No!" "Isla, please—" "No, no, NO!" "Uh, maybe we can leave their delivery on the porch?" Gully suggests. Blue takes a deep breath. "When in doubt, be brave," they say, ringing the doorbell. Mr. Kishi answers the door. His face is red, and he looks a little messy and very tired. "Oh, Blue," he says. "I'm so sorry, I forgot you were delivering today." "I've got your sea urchin scones," says Blue. "Ah, those are our favorites! Why don't you come in for a minute?" Mr. Kishi says. "We've had a rough afternoon here, and you're always a breath of fresh air."
“不!”“艾拉,拜托——”“不,不,不行!” “呃,要不我们把要送的东西放在门廊上就走吧?” 格利提议道。 布鲁深吸了一口气。 “拿不准的时候,就勇敢点。”他们说着,按响了门铃。 岸先生开了门。 他的脸红红的,看起来有点狼狈,还特别疲惫。 “哦,布鲁啊,”他说, “真对不起,我忘了你今天要送东西过来了。” “我给你们带了海胆烤饼哦。”布鲁说。 “啊,那可是我们的最爱! 你要不要进来坐一会儿呀?” 岸先生说。 “我们今天下午过得糟透了,你来了总能让人心情变好。”
"I'm going to wait outside," Gully whispers to Blue. "Something tells me I'll be safer here on the porch." "You're a wise bird," Blue whispers back. The Kishis have a beautiful home, but today it's not looking its best. "Sorry it's such a mess," Mr. Kishi says. He picks up blocks and stuffed animals and other toys, then calls to his daughter. "Isla, Blue's come for a visit. Why don't you say hello?" "No!" Isla shouts.
“我在外面等你哈。”格利小声对布鲁说。 “我总觉得我待在门廊这儿更安全。” “你可真是只聪明的小鸟。”布鲁低声回应。 岸家的房子很漂亮,可今天看起来却不太对劲。 “抱歉家里乱得很。”岸先生说。 他捡起积木、毛绒玩具还有别的玩具,然后喊他的女儿。 “艾拉,布鲁来看我们啦。 你要不要来打个招呼呀?” “不!” 艾拉大喊道。
Mayor Kishi comes out of the kitchen. "I think I've cleaned up all the pasta," she says. She looks messy and tired, too. "Oh, hello, Blue." "Blue has delivered our favorites," Mr. Kishi says. The mayor sinks into a chair. She lifts the lid of the bakery box. "Mmm, sea urchin scones, with cranberry and orange and chocolate. These smell delicious." "And some half-and-half cookies, too, for the equinox," says Blue. "Compliments of Witchycakes." "These are just what we needed," says Mayor Kishi. "Is…everything all right?" Blue asks. Mr. Kishi nods. Mayor Kishi shakes her head. They both laugh. "We've been having a little trouble with Isla lately," Mr. Kishi whispers. "She won't do what we say, and she won't listen," whispers Mayor Kishi. BONK! A stuffed frog hits Mr. Kishi in the head.
岸市长从厨房走了出来。 “我觉得我已经把意面都清理干净啦。”她说。 她看起来也乱糟糟的,很疲惫。 “哦,你好呀,布鲁。” “布鲁给我们送最爱吃的东西来啦。”岸先生说。 市长瘫坐到椅子上。 她掀开烘焙盒的盖子。 “嗯,海胆烤饼,还有蔓越莓、橙子和巧克力的。 闻起来可香了。” “还有些对半曲奇,是过秋分的哦。”布鲁说。 “是魔女蛋糕店免费送的。” “这些来得正是时候。”岸市长说。 “请……请问一切都还好吗?” 布鲁问道。 岸先生点了点头。 岸市长摇了摇头。 两个人都笑了。 “我们最近和艾拉有点小矛盾。”岸先生小声说。 “她说什么都不肯听,也不照着我们说的做。”岸市长小声说。砰! 一只毛绒青蛙砸到了岸先生的头上。
