《蒙戈的迁徙之旅》 作者：托林·安德森 绘者：休·贾米森

When will we reach Mexico? Mongo asked. It takes days to get to warmer weather, his father said. I'm tired, Mongo said. Hurry up, his mother said. There's a storm coming. I don't care, Mongo said. Next year, can I stay home for winter?

“我们什么时候才能到墨西哥呀？”蒙戈问。 “要飞好几天才能到暖和的地方哦。”爸爸回答。 “我累了。”蒙戈说。 “快点呀，”妈妈说， “暴风雨要来了。” “我不管，”蒙戈说， “明年冬天我能不能留在家里呀？”

Before his parents could answer, a gust of wind blew Mongo way off course. I don't know the way to Mexico, Mongo screamed.

爸爸妈妈还没来得及回答， 一阵大风就把蒙戈吹得远远的，偏离了路线。 “我不知道去墨西哥的路了！”蒙戈尖叫道。

When the storm ended, he was all alone.

暴风雨结束的时候，只剩他孤零零一个人了。

Mongo landed on a tree and saw a yellow frog. Hey frog, Mongo said. I'm lost and you need to help me. The frog jumped away without saying a word.

蒙戈落在一棵树上，看见了一只黄色的青蛙。 “喂，青蛙，”蒙戈说，“我迷路了，你得帮我。” 青蛙一句话也没说，蹦蹦跳跳地走了。

Next, Mongo saw an alligator. Tell me how to get to Mexico, Mongo demanded. I have the directions right here in my mouth, the alligator said. Just climb inside.

接着，蒙戈看见了一只短吻鳄。 “快告诉我怎么去墨西哥。”蒙戈命令道。 “路线呀，就在我嘴里呢。”短吻鳄说。 “你爬进来拿呀。”
