9 Amelia Bedelia Play Ball

Amelia Bedelia walked by the baseball field. The Grizzlies team was there.

阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚路过棒球场。 灰熊队的队员们都在那儿。

"I never saw such gloomy faces," said Amelia Bedelia. "Did something terrible happen?" "We play the Tornados today," said Jimmy. "And Donny has the measles." "There is no one to take his place," said Tom.

“我从没见过这么闷闷不乐的脸呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 “是不是发生什么糟糕的事啦？” “我们今天要和龙卷风队比赛，”吉米说。 “可是唐尼出麻疹了。” “没人能代替他的位置，”汤姆说。

"What about me?" said Amelia Bedelia. "You!" said the boys. "Great!" "But I don't know much about the game," said Amelia Bedelia. "I will explain it to you," said Tom. "The idea of the game is to hit the ball and run to each of the bases. The other team tries to get the ball and tag you out," he said. "That is easy enough," said Amelia Bedelia.

“那我来怎么样？”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 “你！”男孩子们都叫出声来。 “太棒啦！” “可是我对打棒球不太懂哦，”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。 “我来给你讲解规则，”汤姆说。 “这个比赛的玩法就是，先击球，然后依次跑到每个垒包那里。 另一队的人会想办法拿到球，碰到你你就出局了，”他说。 “这听起来挺简单的呀，”阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚说。

"Maybe we should warm her up at bat," said Bob. "Good idea," said Tom. "Amelia Bedelia, you hit the ball when Bob throws it." "All right," she said. Bob pitched the ball, but Amelia Bedelia missed it. "No, no," said Tom. "You must step in to meet the ball."

“我们或许应该先让她练练击球，热身一下，”鲍勃说。 “好主意，”汤姆说。 “阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚，等鲍勃把球扔过来的时候你就挥棒打。” “好的，”她答应道。 鲍勃把球投了过来，可是阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚没打中。 “不对不对，”汤姆说。 “你得往前跨步，迎着球打呀。

Bob pitched the ball again. And Amelia Bedelia stepped in to meet it. "Ouch!" she said. "This game hurts!"

鲍勃又把球投了过来。 阿米莉亚·贝迪利亚往前跨步去迎球。 “哎哟！” 她叫了一声。 “这个游戏好疼呀！”
