Winnie AND Wilbur AROUND THE WORLD

《女巫温妮和威尔bur环游世界》

Winnie the Witch and her big black cat Wilbur were choosing their library books. Well, Winnie was choosing them. Wilbur just liked looking at the pictures. Winnie was looking at a book with lovely pictures of animals. "Look at this beautiful giraffe, Wilbur," Winnie said. "I've always wanted to see a giraffe in the wild."

女巫温妮和她的大黑猫威尔伯正在图书馆选书。 其实呢，选书的只有温妮。 威尔伯只是喜欢看上面的图画。 温妮正在看一本印着漂亮动物图片的书。 “看这只漂亮的长颈鹿，威尔伯，”温妮说。 “我一直都想看看野外生活的长颈鹿。”

Then Winnie had an excellent idea. Let's fly around the world and visit all the animals in the book," she said "It will be a great adventure. "Meeow," said Wilbur. I hope they don't eat me, he thought. Winnie borrowed the book, flew home and packed their suitcase, tied it to her broomstick, and they zoomed up into the air. Winnie looked at the first picture in the book, then she waved her magic wand, shouted, "Abracadabra!"

这时温妮想到了一个好主意。 “我们环游世界去吧，去看看这本书里所有的动物，”她说，“这一定会是一场很棒的冒险。” “喵——，”威尔伯叫了一声。 我可希望它们别把我吃了，威尔伯心想。 温妮借了这本书，飞回家收拾好行李箱，把箱子绑在飞天扫帚上，接着他们就嗖的一下飞到了空中。 温妮看了看书里的第一张图片，挥起魔法棒，大喊一声：“阿布拉卡达布拉！”

and they were sitting in a tree house watching some giraffes. "We'll have our lunch," Winnie said, and she unpacked the sandwiches. One of the giraffes walked over to look at them. "Isn't it beautiful, Wilbur," Winnie said. "Look at its long eyelashes. And its long tongue." FLICK! The sandwiches were gone. But at least it didn't eat ME, Wilbur thought. Winnie looked at the next picture. She waved her wand, shouted, "Abracadabra!"

接着他们就坐在树屋里看长颈鹿了。 “我们该吃午饭啦，”温妮一边说，一边拿出了三明治。 一只长颈鹿走过来看着他们。 “它是不是很漂亮呀，威尔伯，”温妮说。 “你看它长长的睫毛。 还有长长的舌头。” 咻！ 三明治不见了。 不过幸好它没吃我，威尔伯心想。 温妮翻到下一张图片。 她挥起魔法棒，大喊一声：“阿布拉卡达布拉！”

and they landed at an oasis. "Good!" said Winnie. "I've always wanted to ride a camel across the desert." Winnie ate some dates and Wilbur drank camels" milk. Then they joined a camel train and rode off across the desert, but it was very hot and the ride was bouncy. Luckily Winnie still had her broomstick, so they climbed on and flew away. The next picture in the book was...

然后他们降落在一片绿洲上。 “太棒了！”温妮说。 “我一直都想骑着骆驼穿越沙漠。” 温妮吃了些椰枣，威尔伯喝了骆驼奶。 之后他们加入了骆驼队，骑着骆驼穿越沙漠，但是天气太热了，而且骑骆驼颠得厉害。 幸好温妮还带着她的飞天扫帚，于是他们爬上去飞走了。 书里的下一张图片是……

kangaroos! One of the kangaroos had a baby in her pouch. Wilbur was interested in the pouch. That's an excellent way to travel, he thought. The baby kangaroo jumped out, Wilbur jumped in, and the kangaroo bounced away. "Meeooow!" cried Wilbur. The mother kangaroo looked into her pouch and bounced back to Winnie.

袋鼠！ 一只袋鼠的育儿袋里装着宝宝。 威尔伯对这个育儿袋很感兴趣。 这可是旅行的好方法呀，他心想。 袋鼠宝宝跳了出来，威尔伯跳了进去，大袋鼠蹦蹦跳跳地跑走了。 “喵——！”威尔伯大喊。 袋鼠妈妈看了看自己的育儿袋，蹦蹦跳跳地回到了温妮身边。
