Egyptian Adventure

埃及大冒险

Nadim and Anina came to play at Biff and Chip's house. Nadim had a book about the ancient Egyptians. It isn't just a book to read. said, Nadim. It's a special sort of book.

纳迪姆和安妮娜到比夫和奇普家玩耍。 纳迪姆有一本关于古埃及人的书。 这可不只是一本用来读的书哦。纳迪姆说 这是一本很特别的书。

It's a model book, said Nadim. He opened it to show everyone. I get it, said Chip. You press out the shapes, then you fold and glue them to make a model. The book had lots of shapes to press out and fold. Nadim pointed to one. Can you see what this will be? He asked. Of course we can, said Anina. It will be a pyramid.

“这是一本手工模型书。”纳迪姆边说边翻开书给大家看。 “我知道啦！”奇普说， “你把这些图案按下来，再折一折粘起来，就能做成模型啦。” 书里有好多可以按下来折叠的图案， 纳迪姆指着其中一个。 “你们能看出来这是什么吗？”他问道。 “我们当然知道啦！”安妮娜说， “这是金字塔呀。”

Chip found some glue. Then Nadine pressed out the shapes and the others began to fold them. First they made the pyramids. Anina had a difficult shape to fold. This is a sphinx, she said. They pressed out some tiny trees and people. Biff glues them all on to a sheet of paper. It made a scene of ancient Egypt. The children were pleased with it. I'm really pleased with the sphinx, said Anina.

奇普找来了胶水， 纳迪姆把图案按下来，其他人就开始折叠。 他们先做了金字塔， 安妮娜要折的那个图案难度很大。 “这是狮身人面像。”她说。 大家又按下来一些小小的树和小人模型。 比夫把它们都粘在一张纸上， 拼成了一幅古埃及的场景。 孩子们都对这幅作品很满意。 “我对这个狮身人面像特别满意。”安妮娜说。

At last the model was finished. It looked so good they called mom upstairs to have a look. What a good job you made of it! said mom. I like the pyramids and the Sphinx. The Sphinx was hard to make said Anina. Floppy ran into the room. He didn't see the model on the floor and he trod on it with his big paws. He knocked over a tree and crushed the Sphinx. Oh, Floppy! Everyone yelled.

模型终于做好了， 看起来特别棒， 他们就喊妈妈上楼来看。 “你们做得太好啦！”妈妈说， “我喜欢这些金字塔和狮身人面像。” “狮身人面像可难做了。”安妮娜说。 这时弗洛皮跑进了房间。 他没看见地板上的模型，用大爪子一脚踩了上去。 他碰倒了一棵树，还把狮身人面像压碎了。 “哦，弗洛皮！”大家都叫了起来。

Floppy looked unhappy. He knew he had upset the children. Never mind, said Chip. It wasn't Floppy's fault. The Sphinx looks even better than before. Suddenly, the magic key began to glow. The key took the children back in time. It took Floppy too. It's not my day, thought Floppy. First I get into trouble, now it's a magic adventure.

弗洛皮看起来很难过， 他知道自己惹孩子们生气了。 “没关系啦，”奇普说， “这不是弗洛皮的错， 现在这个狮身人面像看起来比之前还好看呢。” 突然，魔法钥匙开始发光了。 钥匙把孩子们送回了过去， 也带上了弗洛皮。 “今天真倒霉。”弗洛皮心里想。 先是闯了祸，现在又要去魔法冒险了。
