There once was a very special boy. He was very, very hungry. He was so hungry that a bowl of alphabet soup wouldn't do. He pushed it away. No soup for him. He wanted more.

从前有个非常特别的小男孩。 他肚子饿极了。 他饿得一碗字母汤根本填不饱肚子。 他把汤推到了一边。 他才不要喝汤。 他想要更多好吃的。

This special boy wanted a special sandwich. Not some peanut butter and jiggly jelly jam sandwich. Not a little kid sandwich. He wanted a grownup sandwich. A gigantic mountain high kind of sandwich.

这个特别的小男孩想要一个特别的三明治。 才不是那种涂了花生酱和软乎乎果冻果酱的普通三明治。 也不是给小小朋友吃的小三明治。 他想要一个大人吃的三明治。 像山一样高的巨型三明治。

And so this boy closed his eyes and made a very special wish. He made a sandwich sandwich.

于是小男孩闭上眼睛，许了个非常特别的愿望。 他要做一个层层叠的超级三明治。

First, he sandwiched a loaf of bread hot from the oven. He cut off a slice so big, he had to use a saw instead of a knife.

首先，他夹进了一整条刚出炉的热面包。 他切下来的面包片太大了， 他没法用刀，只能用锯子来切。

Cheese was next, but not just one kind. He wished for cheddar, Swiss, and Monterey Jack. He wished for a big glob of cheese spread.

接下来是奶酪，可不止一种哦。 他变出了切达干酪、瑞士干酪和蒙特里杰克干酪。 还变出了一大团涂抹奶酪。
