03 Bu-bu

Chapter three, Boo Boo. The gorilla's fur was very black against the green leaves. She had large nostrils and small ears. Her bright brown eyes were full of mischief. Boo, boo, boo, she said, boo, boo. Boo boo yourself, said Annie. The gorilla hid behind the leaves again. Then she poked her head out. Peek -a -boo, said Annie. The gorilla clapped her hands together.

第三章，布布。 在绿叶的衬托下，大猩猩的毛发格外黑。 她长着大鼻孔和小耳朵。 她那双亮棕色的眼睛里满是调皮劲儿。 “布，布，布，”她说，“布，布。” “你才是布布呢。”安妮说。 大猩猩又躲到了叶子后面。 接着她探出头来。 “躲猫猫呀。”安妮说。 大猩猩拍起了手。

She stuck out her tongue. Jack and Annie both laughed. Boo, boo, boo, the gorilla said. Then she bounded away through the misty forest. Hey boo boo, don't leave us, Annie called. Jack rolled his eyes. Don't name her boo boo, he said to Annie. You don't have to. Wait boo boo, Annie shouted. She took off after the small gorilla. Turn every animal into your best friend, Jack finished. He shook his head. Then he made a list in his notebook. Gorilla behavior, plays peekaboo, claps hands, sticks out tongue.

她吐了吐舌头。 杰克和安妮都笑了。 “布，布，布。”大猩猩说。 说完她就蹦跳着跑进了雾蒙蒙的森林里。 “嘿布布，别丢下我们呀。”安妮喊道。 杰克翻了个白眼。 “别给她起名叫布布。”他对安妮说。 你管不着嘛。 “等等布布。”安妮大喊。 她拔腿就追那只小大猩猩。 “把每只动物都变成你最好的朋友。”杰克接话道。 他摇了摇头。 接着他在笔记本上列了个清单。 大猩猩行为：玩躲猫猫、拍手、吐舌头。

As he wrote, Jack heard Annie laughing. But then he heard high shrieks. He caught his breath. A leopard? he wondered. Carrying his notebook, Jack hurried in the direction of the noise. He found Annie and the small gorilla perched in two trees. What's wrong? said Jack, standing beneath the trees. Nothing, called Annie. We're just playing. The small gorilla screeched again. Then she scratched her head and hiccuped. Annie screeched too. She scratched her head and hiccuped. While they played, Jack studied the gorilla a bit more.

杰克正写着，听见安妮的笑声，可紧接着又听到尖锐的叫声，他顿时 屏住了呼吸。是豹子吗？他暗想。杰克拿着笔记本，赶紧朝着 声音传来的方向跑去。他看见安妮和小大猩猩分别蹲在两棵树上。 “怎么了？”杰克站在树下问道。 “没事呀。”安妮喊道，“我们就是在玩呢。” 小大猩猩又叫了一声，接着挠挠头打了个嗝。安妮也跟着叫 了起来，也挠挠头打了个嗝。她们玩的时候，杰克又仔细观察了 大猩猩一会儿。

He noticed she was about the size of a three -year -old kid. Her fingers looked like human fingers. They even had fingernails. He made a new list. Young gorilla, size of three -year -old, fingers like humans, fingernails. Jack heard the tree leaf shaking. He looked up. Annie and the gorilla had both climbed higher. Hey, come down, Annie, Jack called. You might fall, plus it's getting dark. Jack looked around. Light was fading quickly from the forest. Is night falling? He wondered. Or is a storm coming? The small gorilla screeched again and climbed even higher.

他注意到她差不多和三岁小朋友一样大。 她的手指看起来和人类的手指很像。 甚至还长着指甲呢。 他又列了个新清单。 幼年大猩猩：体型和三岁小孩相当，手指和人类相似，有指甲。 杰克听到树叶晃动的声音。 他抬起头。 安妮和大猩猩都爬得更高了。 “嘿，安妮，快下来。”杰克喊道。 “你会摔下来的，而且天也快黑了。” 杰克环顾四周。 森林里的光线正在快速暗下去。 是天要黑了吗？ 他暗想。 还是暴风雨要来了？ 小大猩猩又叫了一声，爬得更高了。

Hey, Boo -Boo, where are you going?" said Annie. She climbed even higher, too. That's enough, Annie. Come down now, said Jack. I'm serious. To his relief, the gorilla settled on a branch. Annie did the same. The gorilla broke off a piece of tree bark. She nibbled it like a candy bar. Annie broke off a piece of bark. She nibbled it like a candy bar, too. The gorilla threw down her bark. She grabbed a branch and swung to another tree. Don't try it, Annie, shouted Jack. But his warning came too late. Annie threw down her bark. She grabbed a tree branch and tried to swing to another tree.

“嘿，布布，你要去哪儿呀？”安妮说，她也跟着爬得更高了。 “够了安妮，快下来，我是认真的。”杰克说。 让他松了口气的是，大猩猩在一根树枝上停了下来，安妮也停下了。大猩猩掰下 一块树皮，像吃糖果一样小口啃着。安妮也掰下一块树皮。 也像吃糖果一样小口啃着。大猩猩把啃剩的树皮扔下来，抓住 一根树枝，荡到了另一棵树上。 “别学她，安妮！”杰克大喊，可他的警告太晚了。安妮扔下 手里的树皮，抓住一根树枝，试着荡到另一棵树上去。

Annie didn't swing like a gorilla. She fell from the tree and crashed down to the ground near Jack. Annie, he cried.

安妮没法像大猩猩那样荡树枝。 她从树上掉了下来，重重摔在杰克旁边的地上。 “安妮！”他大叫道。
