Monkey Me 猴子男孩 · Monkey me and the pet show
Chapter 11 what Happened? I was still shaking when I got home. I quickly dressed. Then I poked my head into Claudia's bedroom. “ Clyde! You're alive! " My sister smiled and gave me a big hug. " I was so worried about you! " she said. I tried to pull away, but couldn't.
第十一章发生了什么? 我回到家时还在发抖。我迅速穿上衣服,然后探头进克劳迪娅的卧室。 “克莱德!你还活着!”我姐姐笑了,给了我一个大大的拥抱。“我好担心你!”她说。 我试图挣脱,但是没能成功。
" Are you okay?" Claudia asked. I nodded a little. " I should never have taken you to the pet show. " Claudia hugged me tighter. " Because I knew you would turn into a monkey. " She sat me on the edge of her bed. " And when you turn into a monkey, Clyde, bad things can happen. " " Lots of the owners at the pet show thought they lost their pets, " Claudia said. " But I thought I lost my brother! " My sister's face looked super sad.
“你还好吗?”克劳迪娅问。 我点了点头。 “我本不该带你去宠物秀的。”克劳迪娅抱得更紧了。“因为我知道你会变身成猴子。” 她让我坐在她床边。“克莱德,当你变成猴子时,可能会发生不好的事情。” “宠物秀上的很多主人都以为他们失去了宠物,”克劳迪娅说。“但我以为我失去了我的弟弟!” 我姐姐的脸色看起来很悲伤。
For a moment, I looked away from Claudia. At her toys. At her model rockets. But I didn't feel like playing. " I searched for you everywhere in the pet show building, Clyde, " Claudia said. “ So where were you?" I thought about the warehouse. About the pet-nappers. About escaping from my cage. I should have been happy. But I wasn't.
有那么一刻,我的目光从克劳迪娅身上移开,看向她的玩具,看她的模型火箭。 但我不觉得想玩。 “我在宠物秀的大楼里到处找你,克莱德,”克劳迪娅说。“你到底在哪里?” 我想起了那个仓库。想起了那些绑架宠物的人。想起了从笼子里逃出来。 我应该感到高兴。 但我并没有。
" The show was cancelled, " Claudia said. " Because there were so many pets that went missing. " I nodded slowly. I could see them in my mind, locked in cages in the cold and dark warehouse. They looked hungry. And scared. " Even Roz was upset, " Claudia said. “ She was worried about losing Chopper. " I grinned as I thought about my life without the big bully dog. No more running away. Or being trapped up a tree. It was just what I wanted!
“宠物秀被取消了,”克劳迪娅说。“因为有很多宠物失踪了。” 我慢慢地点了点头。 我能想象它们被关在寒冷和黑暗的仓库里的笼子里。它们看起来又饿又害怕。 “连罗兹都很难过,”克劳迪娅说。“她担心失去了乔珀。” 我一想到没有那只大恶霸狗的生活就咧嘴笑了。不用再逃跑,或者被困在树上。 这正是我想要的!
But then I pictured Chopper's face as I raced from the warehouse. He looked scared. Just like the other animals. It made me feel sick. " Are you okay, Clyde?" Claudia asked. " Yes, " I said. " Why?" " Because you're sitting still. And you never sit still, unless something's wrong. " She leaned closer. “ So what is it, Clyde?" " I was pet-napped and locked in a cage in an old warehouse! " I said. Claudia's eyes grew wider. " It was horrible, " I said. " And tonight the pet-nappers are planning to sell all the animals! "
但接着我想象着当我从仓库跑出来时乔珀的脸。它看起来很害怕,就像其他动物一样。 这让我感觉不舒服。 “你还好吗,克莱德?”克劳迪娅问。 “是的,”我说。“为什么这么问?” “因为你坐着不动。你通常不会坐着不动,除非有什么不对劲。”她凑得更近了。“所以,克莱德,怎么了?” “我被绑架了,还被锁在一个旧仓库的笼子里!”我说。 克劳迪娅的眼睛睁得更大了。 “太可怕了,”我说。“而且今晚那些绑架宠物的人计划卖掉所有动物!”
Claudia gasped. “ Then it's good that you escaped! " " Yes, it is, " I said. " But the other animals are still in danger. And I feel bad about leaving them behind. " Claudia sat on the bed next to me. " But I don't want to talk about it! " I said. Claudia placed her hand on my shoulder and smiled. “ You just did, Clyde. " " Oh, right, " I said. And it felt good getting it out. But it also made me realize what I needed to do next.
克劳迪娅倒吸了一口气。“那你逃脱了真是太好了!” “是的,”我说。“但其他动物仍然处于危险之中。我为留下它们感到难过。” 克劳迪娅坐在我旁边的床上。 “但我不想再谈这件事了!”我说。 克劳迪娅把手放在我的肩膀上,微笑着。“你刚刚已经谈了,克莱德。” “哦,对,”我说。说出来感觉很好。但这也让我意识到了我接下来需要做什么。
