Golden Monkeys

Chapter 2 Golden Monkeys It felt like I had run into a truck. I was on the floor. I saw stars around my head. I looked at the museum guard next to me. He was big. Like a truck.

第2章金猴 我感觉就像撞上了一辆卡车。 我躺在地板上，眼前满是星星。 我看了看我身边的博物馆保安。他块头很大，就像一辆卡车。

He pushed himself off the floor and looked around. But not at me. " Sorry, " I said. The guard growled and kept looking. I felt something poking me in the back. I rolled over and saw I was lying on two Golden Monkeys! I picked mine up and stuck it in my pocket. At least, I thought it was mine. The two Golden Monkeys looked exactly alike. Then I picked up the second one. “ This must be yours, " I said to the guard. He grabbed the Golden Monkey from my hand. He looked at it and smiled. Then he looked at me and glared.

他从地板上撑起身，环顾四周，但并没有看我。 “对不起，”我说。 保安低吼了一声，继续四处张望。 我感觉到有什么东西戳着我的后背。我翻了个身，看到自己躺在两个金猴上面! 我拿起自己的那个，放回口袋。至少，我以为那是我的。那两个金猴看起来一模一样。 然后我又拿起第二个。“这个一定是你的，”我对保安说。 他从我手里夺过金猴。他看了看它，笑了。接着他看着我，瞪起了眼睛。

He was scary! So I turned and ran. Maybe the guard was still angry at me for bumping into him. All I knew was that I needed to get away. I ran as fast as I could down the hall. I saw an open doorway. I raced inside and shut the door. I was alone. Safe. But lost.

他看起来很吓人! 于是我转身就跑。 也许保安还在生我的气，因为我撞到了他。我只知道我需要赶紧离开。 我沿着走廊飞快地跑。我看到一扇开着的门，便冲了进去，然后把门关上。 我独自一人。 安全了。 但也迷路了。

Or maybe not. In front of me was Dr. Wally's bowl of fruit. My stomach growled. I was hungry and stepped closer. " It looks safe to me, " I said. I grabbed the banana. I split the peel. I took a bite just as the door slammed open. “ Clyde! " Claudia ran into the room. " What are you doing?" “ Eating. " I held out the banana. “ Want some?" " Are you crazy?" my sister asked. “ No, " I said. “ The banana's fine. " “ Really?" Claudia asked. I nodded and took another bite.

也许并没有。在我面前的是沃尔里博士的那碗水果。 我的肚子咕咕叫。 我饿了，便走上前去。“在我看来这看起来很安全，”我说。 我抓起香蕉，剥开皮，咬了一口，就在这时门砰的一声被推开了。 “克莱德!”克劳迪娅冲进房间，“你在干什么?” “吃东西。”我拿着香蕉递给她，“要不要来点?” “你疯了吗?”我的妹妹问道。 “没有，”我说，“香蕉没问题。” “真的吗?”克劳迪娅问。 我点点头，又咬了一口。

" Well, the bus is leaving. So come on, Clyde! " Claudia walked toward the door. “ Or you'll get in trouble. " “ Me? Get in trouble? Ha! " I stuffed the rest of the banana in my mouth. It tasted yummy! At first.

“好吧，巴士要开了。所以快点，克莱德!”克劳迪娅朝门口走去，“不然你又要惹麻烦了。” “我?惹麻烦?哈!”我把剩下的香蕉塞进嘴里。 味道还不错! 一开始是这样。
