CHAPTER 2 SHOWSTOPPER

第二章 惊艳全场的表演

Ms. Coco looked up the phone number for the ice rink. Rufus waited for Ms. LaBone's limo. He perked up his ears, listening for the crrrrrunch of tires on the hotel driveway. Swishhhhhhhhhhhhhh. "What was that?" Rufus wondered. He peeked out the hotel's glass door. A big, boxy vehicle had pulled up in front. "That must be Ms. LaBone. What a strange limo!" Rufus rushed to meet her. The second he stepped outside, his paws hit a patch of ice. So there really IS thin ice at the Woofmore! he thought.

可可女士查了溜冰场的电话号码。 鲁弗斯等着拉博恩女士的豪华轿车。 他竖起耳朵，听着酒店车道上轮胎碾过地面的嘎吱声。 嗖—————— “那是什么声音？” 鲁弗斯纳闷道。 他从酒店的玻璃门往外瞧。 一辆方方正正的大车停在了门前。 “那肯定是拉博恩女士。 这豪车可真奇怪呀！” 鲁弗斯冲出去迎接她。 他刚踏出门，爪子就踩在了一块冰上。 原来沃夫莫尔酒店真的有薄冰呀！ 他心里想。

Rufus slipped. "Wh-wh-WHOA!" "Easy does it," said a friendly voice. Rufus felt a paw on his back. A small beagle was holding him steady. "Thank you!" Rufus said. "Be careful. It's slippery out here."

鲁弗斯滑了一下。 “哇、哇——哇呀！” “慢点儿哦。”一个友好的声音说道。 鲁弗斯感觉到背上搭了一只爪子。 一只小比格犬正扶着他，让他站稳。 “谢谢你！” 鲁弗斯说。 “小心点哦。 这儿外面滑得很。”

"Not to me, it isn't." The beagle winked. "Oh, of course! A little ice wouldn't slip you up, Ms. LaBone." "Please, call me Furya."

“对我来说可不滑哦。” 小比格犬眨了眨眼。 “哦，当然啦！ 一点冰可难不倒你，拉博恩女士。” “拜托，叫我芙瑞雅就好啦。”

Rufus opened the hotel door. He led Furya inside. "Welcome to the Woofmore!" he said. "I'm Rufus. If you need anything at all, just let me know." "Well, I do need something—but it's something I have to come up with myself," said Furya. "A showstopper!" "Huh?" Rufus tilted his head. "A show... what?"

鲁弗斯推开酒店的门。 他领着芙瑞雅走了进去。 “欢迎来到沃夫莫尔酒店！” 他说。 “我是鲁弗斯。 你要是需要任何东西，尽管告诉我就好。” “唔，我确实需要一样东西——不过这得我自己想出来才行。”芙瑞雅说。 “一个能惊艳全场的表演！” “啊？” 鲁弗斯歪了歪脑袋。 “一个表演…什么？”
