Arthur's birthday party
亚瑟的生日派对
It was Saturday morning. Arthur was making invitations for his birthday party. Roland and Wilma were taking turns pushing each other on the swing. My big sister has a beach party for her birthday, said Wilma. Anyone wear a bath suit, and there was a Miss Bathrobe Beauty Contest.
那是周六的早上,亚瑟正在为自己的生日派对制作邀请卡。 罗兰和威尔玛正轮流推着对方荡秋千。 我姐姐过生日办了场沙滩派对,威尔玛说。 大家都穿泳衣,还有一场浴袍小姐选美比赛呢。
That does not sound like fun to me, said Arthur. At my party, there will be lots of fun. We had lots of fun at Michael's party, said Violet. We went to the old McDonald's and rode on a little train and had lollipops.
我觉得那听起来一点都不好玩,亚瑟说。我的派对肯定会特别有意思。 我们在迈克尔的派对上玩得可开心了,维奥莉特说。我们去了老麦当劳店 还坐了小火车,吃了棒棒糖。
Old metal shoe is for babies. Said author, my party will be for big kids. Only no babies allowed. Kai Kong, ask wallet I'm not a baby.
旧金属鞋游戏是小婴儿才玩的。 亚瑟说,我的派对是给大孩子办的。 小婴儿一概不许参加。 凯孔对着瓦伦特说:我才不是小婴儿呢。
Ah, said Arthur, only babies need to be pushed on the swings. Big kids know how to swing themselves. Watch me. Arthur got on the swing and pushed off. He stuck his legs straight up in the air and pulled them back hard. See? He said, this is called a plumbly. This is what big kids do.
哼,亚瑟说,只有小婴儿荡秋千才需要别人推。 大孩子都知道怎么自己荡。 看我的。 亚瑟坐上秋千,蹬腿荡了起来。 他把腿直直伸到空中,又猛地往后收。 看到没? 他说:这招叫直直晃。 这才是大孩子玩的把戏。
Well, Miss Marty said Wilma, little kids know how to pump too. We were just playing mommy and baby, aren't we, Walent? Yes, said Walent, we can pump on the swing and we can climb the ropes too. Well, said Arthur, I bet you can do this. Arthur pumped the swings up high.
哼,马蒂小姐,威尔玛说,小小孩也知道怎么蹬腿荡秋千呀。 我们刚才只是在玩过家家扮演妈妈和宝宝呀,对不对,瓦伦特? 对呀,瓦伦特说,我们不光会自己荡秋千,还会爬绳子呢。 哦是吗,亚瑟说,我打赌你们不会这招。 亚瑟把秋千蹬得高高的。
