6-11 Mercy Watson Something Wonky This Way Comes

Chapter 11. Mercy discovered that there was hot buttered popcorn everywhere. Every car had big buckets of popcorn. Every car had open windows. The popcorn was buttery. The popcorn was crunchy. The popcorn was delicious.

第十一章 梅西发现到处都是热乎的黄油爆米花。 每辆车里都放着大桶的爆米花。 每辆车的车窗都开着。 爆米花黄油香味十足。 爆米花脆脆的。 爆米花好吃极了。

Mercy helped herself. She helped herself again and again.

梅西自顾自吃了起来，吃了一口又一口。

People screamed. People laughed. People fainted. Mercy kept eating.

人们尖叫起来。 人们哈哈大笑。 有人晕了过去。 梅西还在不停地吃。

In the meantime, Mr. Watson and Frank returned to the convertible with several bottomless buckets of popcorn. Mrs. Watson was crying. My darling, my dear, said Mr. Watson, what is wrong? It's a tragedy, said Mrs. Watson. I wouldn't exactly call it a tragedy, said Eugenia Lincoln. Mercy is missing, said Stella. Don't worry, said Mr. Watson, we'll find her.

就在这时，沃森先生和弗兰克回到了敞篷车旁 手里拎着好几桶怎么吃都吃不完的爆米花。 沃森太太正在哭。 "我亲爱的，亲爱的，"沃森先生问道，"你怎么了？" "这简直是场悲剧啊。"沃森太太说。 "要我说这可算不上什么悲剧。"尤金妮娅·林肯说道。 "梅西不见了。"斯特拉说。 "别担心，"沃森先生说，"我们会找到她的。"

I'll wait here if you don't mind," said Eugenia Lincoln. She helped herself to some hot buttered popcorn.

"要是你们不介意的话，我就在这儿等着。"尤金妮娅·林肯说道。 她自己拿了些热乎的黄油爆米花吃。
