Today you're getting into the other book of world records Ruby told her brother What's that? Shorty asked

“今天你要入选这本另类世界纪录大全啦。” 露比跟她的弟弟说。 “那是什么呀？” 肖蒂问道。

Ruby held up a pad of paper. It's the record book I'm working on. The other book, she said. Just stand on one leg and say the ABCs, Ruby said.

露比举起一沓纸。 “这是我正在做的纪录手册。” “就是这本另类纪录册呀。”她说道。 “你就单腿站着背字母表就行。”露比说。

Shorty did just that. A, B, C, D, E. He began.

肖蒂照做了。 “A、B、C、D、E。” 他开口背了起来。

A kid named Ben called over from the basketball court. What's going on here? He asked. He's setting a record, Ruby said. Ben laughed. Anyone could do what he's doing, Ben said.

一个叫本的小男孩在篮球场那边喊了过来。 “这儿在干嘛呢？” 他问道。 “他正在创造一项世界纪录呢。”露比说。 本笑了起来。 “他做的这事谁都能做到呀。”本说。

Ruby tossed a piece of gum to her brother. Not while chewing gum, she said. Shorty popped the gum in his mouth. He blew a bubble. Ah, that's nothing. Let me get my pogo stick, Ben said.

露比扔给她弟弟一块口香糖。 “边嚼口香糖边做就没人能做到啦。”她说道。 肖蒂把口香糖塞进嘴里。 他吹了个泡泡。 “哈，这也没什么了不起的。” “我去拿我的弹跳棒来。”本说。
