Chapter 7

ChAPTER SEVEN Kate and Rupert were secretly breakfasting on stolen shrimp free pastries when the door to their cabin suddenly flew open. Bertie stood panting, holding a piece of paper out in front of him. "C.A. Bloom found out the wibbler's favourite food! Look!" He thrust the torn page at them.

第七章 凯特和鲁珀特正偷偷吃着偷来的无虾馅饼当早餐，这时他们小屋的门突然猛地开了。 伯蒂站在那儿喘着粗气，手里举着一张纸伸到他们面前。 “C.A.布鲁姆找到了晃悠怪最爱吃的东西！ 快看！” 他把那页撕下来的纸塞到他们面前。

"I can't believe we missed this!" exclaimed Rupert. "No time to worry about that!" said Kate. "We've got to get hold of some trumpetberries!" "But how?" mused Rupert. "We're on a moving boat..." "And I've never even heard of them before! It's not like Captain Mustard is going to keep poisonous berries in the fridge-" "I think I've got a plan, interrupted Bertie, "but it involves—" he gulped- "thievery." "Bertie! Stealing is wrong!" Rupert looked pointedly at the stolen breakfast spread out in front of them.

“我真不敢相信我们居然漏掉了这个！”鲁珀特惊呼道。 “没时间纠结这个了！”凯特说。 “我们得弄到一些喇叭莓！” “可是怎么弄呢？”鲁珀特若有所思地说。 “我们现在在一艘行驶的船上……” “而且我以前听都没听过这种东西！ 芥末船长总不可能把有毒的浆果放在冰箱里吧——”“我想到一个办法，”伯蒂打断他，“但是这个办法需要——”他咽了咽口水——“偷东西。” “伯蒂！偷东西是不对的！” 鲁珀特意有所指地看向他们面前摊开的、偷来的早餐。

"I mean for Bertie it's wrong! He's got to keep his badges or else he'll be kicked out of the Bird Brigade!" Bertie puffed himself up. "But if we pull this off, I'll be the greatest Bird Brigader ever! The General keeps a whole stash of bird stuff in the bottom of the boat- he's got a locker down there and-" "You think he might have some?" asked Kate. "Yes. I think if there's any chance of finding some trumpetberries, it's down there. This was more like it! A story with a pinch of piracy was just what she needed. And they were on a boat too!

“我是说对伯蒂来说偷东西不对！ 他得保住他的徽章，不然他会被飞鸟队开除的！” 伯蒂挺了挺胸。 “但要是我们这次成功了，我就会是有史以来最厉害的飞鸟队队员！ 将军在船底存了一大堆和鸟有关的东西——他在那儿有个储物柜，而且——” “你觉得他那儿可能有喇叭莓？”凯特问。 “对。 我觉得要是有机会找到喇叭莓，那肯定是在那儿。 这才像样嘛！ 带点冒险偷盗的故事正是她想要的。 而且他们刚好还在船上！
