Then she couldn't ride her llama to school because the whole herd was running loose.It took her six tries to get them onto a pointy rock so they would calm down and quit trying to eat her homework.

而且她也不能骑骆驼去学校了,因为骆驼群都跑散了。她不得不一次又一次的把骆驼赶到一块突起的岩石上,这样他们才总算安静了下来,不再啃她的作业本了。

She was so late that she missed almost all of her favorite class, Algebra II.And her homework was covered in bites and hoof prints.

等她赶到学校,已经太晚了,她差点就错过了自己最喜欢的课程——高等代数。她的作业本被啃得不像样,而且还被踩满了蹄印。

one alligator explained."We're just trying to help; let me show you."

"And in here we're singing this hippo to sleep in the bath so he gets all pruney."

“在这儿,我们唱着歌,河马就泡在浴缸里睡着了,浑身都泡软了。”

"I just don't understand why you would do all of these things," Sari said.

"Why do we have to have so many things go wrong? Why can't you just make everything right?"

“我不明白你们为什么要做这些事情,”莎莉说,“为什么要把事情做得一团糟呢,就不能让一切都正常运行吗?”

"Yes, good point," the alligator sighed, "but let me show you one more thing," and he took her into the invisible alligator main headquarters.

“是啊,你说的没错。”小鳄鱼叹了一口气,“但是我要给你看更多的东西。”他领着莎莉来到了鳄鱼的总指挥部。

"This is your book, Sari.All the things listed in this book are the troubles we've caused you--and all the things you've learned how to do in your whole life."

It was a big book.

He looked at her expectantly.

“这是你的书,莎莉。书中列着所有我们要给你的麻烦,而你也已经学会了怎么在你的一生中去处理这些问题。”

那是一本巨大的书。

他满怀期待的看着莎莉。

"Nope. I don't get it." she said sadly, and left the alligators' lair so she could go back home and get in bed. "Bye."

“不,我没明白”莎莉伤心的说,她离开了小鳄鱼的家。“再见了”这样她就可以早点回到家躺在她的床上。

The stairs leading home were covered in rocks.

Sari took a moment to pick them all up as she walked.

so no one would trip and fall.

回家的台阶上有一些石头。莎莉花了点时间,一边走一边把他们捡起来,这样其他人就不会被绊倒了。

She came to a bridge that was snapped in two,

and a herd of wild blue goats which we all know are very dangerous unless someone knows how to herd them onto a pointy mountain top.

一群野生的蓝山羊处境非常危险,除非有人知道怎么能把它们赶到山顶上。

关于小狐狸的英语绘本(Alligators看不见的小鳄鱼)(22)

Sari didn't even have to think. She knew exactly what to do--fixed the bridge, herded the goats, piled the rocks out of the way in a safe place and was safely in bed in no time at all, fast asleep and dreaming about Algebra II.

莎莉想都没想,她明确的知道自己要做什么——修桥,赶山羊,清理路上的石头堆到一个安全的地方去,然后马上安全的跑回家躺倒床上,睡着,做一个关于高等代数的梦。
