6 They don't believe me

6 他們不相信我

Where was my spacesuit?

我的太空服哪兒去啦?

Eee-Eee found it up in a tree where another squirrel was living in it.Eee-Eee told the squirrel to get out of my spacesuit.

“噫噫”在一棵樹上找到了它，另一只松鼠住在里面。“噫噫”叫那只松鼠從我的太空服里出來。

I was happy to wear the spacesuit.Hoo-Woo took me to the door where I first came in.

穿上太空服我很高興。“呼嗚”把我?guī)У狡鸪跷疫M來的門那兒。

Hoo-Woo made his noise：'Hoo-woo!'as I opened the door.He was sad that I was going.

我開門的時候，呼嗚叫了一聲：“呼——嗚!”。我要走了，它有些難過。

I said，'I'm coming back，'and I went out to my spaceship.

我說：“我會回來的。”然后就出去回到了我的飛船上。

I got in and said，'Take me home.'

我進了飛船，說道：“帶我回家。”

The stars changed suddenly.I saw my world in space，all green and beautiful.A few minutes later the spaceship landed and I was home.

星星突然變了。我看見我的星球在太空中，全是綠色，很美。幾分鐘后飛船著陸，我回到了家。

My father ran from the house shouting，'Hummy!'

爸爸從房子里跑出來，喊道：“蜂兒!”

I kissed my father.

我親了爸爸。

My mother was angry with me.'I didn't know if you were dead or alive!'she cried.'It's been a week!'

媽媽在生我的氣。“我不知道你是死是活!”她大聲說，“整整一個星期!”

A week!It felt like months to me.

一個星期!我覺得象是好幾個月了。

'I've got some very exciting news for you，'I said.

“我給你們帶來一個非常令人激動的消息，”我說。

'OK，'my mother said.'Let's sit in the theat and talk there.Oh yes，'she said to my father，'why don't you go to the house and bring us something to drink?'

“好，”媽媽說，“我們到麥田里坐下談談。哦，對了，”她對爸爸說，“你能不能到房子里給我們拿點喝的?”

Strange.Robots usually bring the drinks.But I just thought my mother wanted to be specially nice to me.

奇怪，一般是機器人拿飲料的。但我只以為媽媽是想對我特別地好些。

I told my mother what had happened.When my father came with drinks，I told my story anain.

我把所發(fā)生的事情跟媽媽說了。爸爸把飲料拿來后，我又把事情說了一遍。

Telling my story，I looked at the green fields of wheat moving in the wind.The wheat went on for thousands of miles，looking just the same everywhere.

我一邊講著我的經(jīng)歷，一邊看著綠油油的麥田在風中搖曳。麥田綿延數(shù)千英里，哪兒看上去都一個樣。

How different it was in the Star Zoo!Every time you turned your head， you saw something new.That had frightened me at first but now I thought the Star Zoo was wonderful.

星際動物園里就截然不同!每當你轉(zhuǎn)過頭，就能看到新的東西。一開始，還把我嚇了一跳，可現(xiàn)在我覺得星際動物園真棒。

I explained that feeling to my parents.

我把我的感覺向父母說了。

'Yes，yes，Hummy，'my mother said，looking quickly at my father.

“好了，好了，蜂兒，”媽媽說，并很快地瞥了爸爸一眼。

I saw a spaceship land near the house.'Who's coming?'I asked.

我看到有一只飛船降落在房子旁邊。“誰來了?”我問道。

My mother and father looked at each other.Then I knew.

媽媽和爸爸對視了一眼。我馬上就明白了。

'It's Buff，isn't it?'I said.'You called him when you were getting the drinks!'I said to my father.I was really angry.'How could you?Wait!You don't believe me，do you?'

“是牛子，對不對?”我說，“你拿飲料的時候給他打電話了!”我對爸爸說。我真的生氣了。“你怎么能這樣?等一等!你們不相信我，是嗎?”

'Your head is full of dreams， Hummy，'my father said.'You must be married to Buff，but only for a year.Then you can get married to someone you like.'

“你的腦子里充滿夢想，蜂兒。”爸爸說，“你得嫁給牛子，不過是一年的事。然后你可以嫁給一個你喜歡的人。”

I jumped up.'I hate you!Why did I come back?Why didn't I go straight to the Star Council?'

我跳了起來。“我恨你們!我為什么要回來?我為什么不直接去星際理事會?”

Buff walked up to us.'Hello again，Kate，'he said.'I still remember the first name you told me.'

牛子朝我們走來。“又見面了，蟲子。”他說，“我還記得你第一次告訴我的名字。”

I had an idea.'Listen to what happened to me，'I said，and Itold my story a third time.

我想出了個主意。“你聽聽我都經(jīng)歷了些什么。”我說。接著，我又把事情講了一遍。

Buff laughed.' What a story!You can tell me stories like that every night.'

牛子笑了。“好一個故事!你每天晚上都可以給我講這樣的故事。”

'So you don't believe me?'I smiled.

“這么說你不相信我?”我笑道。

He just laughed.

他只是笑。

'OK，Buff，'I said.'Come with me.I'll show you the Star Zoo.If it's only a story， I'll marry you. I'll even get married for five years if you want.OK?'

“好，牛子，”我說，“跟我來。我?guī)闳タ葱请H動物園。如果是假的，我就嫁給你。如果你愿意，我可以嫁給你五年。行嗎?”

'Why not?'Buff said.'I'll bring a robot to see what's really there.Robots never lie.'

“有什么不好?”牛子說，“我要帶一個機器人去看看到底是怎么回事兒。機器人從不撒謊。”

Buff borrowed one of our family robots and we took off.My father watched us go with a worried face.

牛子帶上我家的一個機器人，我們就起飛了。我爸爸面露愁容地看著我們走了。

It was black in the empty space far between stars and we couldn't see anything.Buff was surprised when we landed onthe Star Zoo.

星星之間的茫茫太空一片漆黑，我們什么也看不見。我們星際動物園著陸時牛子很吃驚。

We put on spacesuits and went out.Buff looked at the door，very surprised. We went in.

我們穿上太空服到了外面。牛子看著那扇門，驚訝萬分。我們走了進去。

After we went through the second door，Buff stood without moving and he looked at the trees and didn't say anything. The robot closed the door behind us.

我們穿過第二道門，牛子一動不動地站住了，他看著那些樹，沒有說話。機器人在后面把門關(guān)上。

Hoo-Woo ran out of the trees to meet me. I was happy to see him and happy to be back in the Star Zoo again. I wasn't afraid at all.

“呼嗚”從樹林里跑出來迎接我。我很高興看到它，也很高興又回到星際動物園。我一點都不怕。

I looked round at Buff and my heart stopped.Buff's face was full of hate and he was holding a laser gun.The gun was pointing at Hoo-Woo.

我回頭去看牛子，我的心差點兒停止了跳動。牛子滿臉憎惡，他手里拿著一支激光槍。槍是對準“呼鳴”的。
