大家好,营员们。
Hello, campers.
我是你们的营地辅导员,艾丽卡·亨宁森,欢迎收听我们的圆桌夏令营系列节目。
It's your camp counselor, Erica Henningsen, with our Circle Round Summer Camp series.
九月就要到了,这意味着夏令营也快结束了。
September is right around the corner, and that means summer camp is almost over.
我知道这挺难过的,但别担心。
I know it's terrible, but have no fear.
还有很多值得期待的事情呢。
There is still so much to look forward to.
开学、落叶、节日,而且我们还有一个夏令营故事要讲。
Back to school, falling leaves, holidays, and we still have one more summer camp story.
我们要重温一个故事,来庆祝大自然,也庆祝我们在户外结识的朋友。
We're revisiting a tale to celebrate both nature and the friends that we make in the great outdoors.
今天的故事里,我们会看到两个互相对立的生物因为水果而走到了一起。
In today's story, we see how two creatures at odds come together because of fruit.

你知道“占上风”是什么意思吗?
Do you know what it means if you have the upper hand?
占上风意味着你拥有优势。
Having the upper hand means you hold an advantage.
你处于比对方更有利的位置或局面。
You're in a stronger position or situation than someone else's.
我们即将认识一个角色,他通过占据下半部分而占了上风。
And we're about to meet a character who gets the upper hand by taking the lower half.
我是丽贝卡·希尔,欢迎收听《围圈听故事》,在这里,故事时间随时都有。
I'm Rebecca Scheer, and welcome to Circle Round, where story time happens all the time.
今天的故事叫《顶级香蕉》。
Today, our story is called Top Banana.
这个故事灵感来源于菲律宾的民间传说,菲律宾是东南亚一个拥有七千多个岛屿的国家。
It was inspired by tales told in The Philippines, a country of over 7,000 islands in Southeast Asia.
几位非常优秀的配音演员联手为我们呈现了这个故事的改编版本,其中包括塔蒂亚娜·阿里和杰克·德塞纳。
Some really great people came together to bring you our adaptation of this story, including Tatyana Ali and Jack De Sena.
各位成年人,你们可能认识塔蒂亚娜·阿里,她曾在《新鲜王子妙事多》原版及重启版中出演,也在ABC电视台的《小学风云》中有精彩表现。
Grown ups, you may know Tatyana Ali from The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, the original and reboot, as well as Abbot Elementary on ABC.
小朋友们,你们可能在很多动画剧集中听过杰克·德塞纳的声音,比如《乐高猴子小子》、《龙王子》以及《降世神通:最后的气宗》。
And kids, you can hear Jack De Sena's voice in a bunch of animated TV shows, including Lego Monkey Kid, The Dragon Prince, and Avatar: The Last Airbender.
大家围成一圈,听主角登场。
So circle around, everyone, for top banana.
那是盛夏时节,在一片长满青苔的茂密森林里,乌龟一整天都在一块大平石上晒着她那红褐色的龟壳和皮肤。
It was summertime in the lush, mossy forest, and all morning long, Turtle had been sunning her brownish red shell and skin on a big, flat rock.
我觉得有点过热了。
I'm starting to get overheated.
我想去河里游个泳。
I think I'll go for a swim in the river.
现在能在清凉的水里扑腾几下,那可就太舒服了。
Splashing around in the cool, clear water would hit the spot right now.
乌龟慢悠悠地走到河边,它那圆溜溜的亮眼睛看到了一幅令人惊叹的景象。
When Turtle shuffled over to the riverbank, her bright round eyes were met with an astonishing sight.
那是一棵香蕉树,而且它还在水里
It's a banana plant, and it's in the water
顺着河水漂着呢。
floating down the river.
没错。
Indeed.
香蕉树一头顶着宽大的绿叶冠,另一头是细长的根须,正顺着水流往下游漂,朝着乌龟的方向过来了。
With a crown of broad green leaves on one end and a spindly web of roots on the other, the banana plant was drifting downstream and heading turtle's way.
要是把这棵香蕉树从河里拉上来会怎么样?
What if I pull the banana plant out of the river?
然后我把它带回家,种在我的花园里。
Then I bring it home and plant it in my garden.
天知道我有多爱种东西。
Goodness knows I love growing things.
只要用心照料,那棵香蕉树很快就能结出美味的香蕉来。
With a little love and care, that plant will be sprouting delicious bananas in no time.
乌龟跳进水里,朝香蕉树游去。
Turtle plunged into the water and paddled toward the banana plant.
她想用爪子抓住它,把它拖回岸边。
She was hoping to rip it in her claws and tug it back to shore.
但香蕉树比她想象的要重,水流也比她想象的要急。
But the plant was heavier than she expected, and the current was stronger than she expected.
她很快就发现自己有点吃力了。
And she soon found herself struggling.
哎呀,
Oh,
糟糕。
dear.
我一个人可没法把这棵香蕉树拖到岸上。
I can't pull this plant to shore alone.
我需要帮忙。
I need help.
你确实需要。
You bet you do.
一只小乌龟想把香蕉树拖上岸,这想法真是,嗯,太疯狂了。
The idea of a teeny tiny turtle carrying a banana plant to shore is, well, bananas.
乌龟转头看向河岸,发现猴子在那里。
Turtle swiveled her gaze to the riverbank, and there was Monkie.
他毛茸茸的棕色身体笑得直不起腰来。
His shaggy brown body doubled up with laughter.
我是说,乌龟,别介意,但你的努力看起来完全是白费力气。
I mean, no offense, Turtle, but your attempts are looking downright fruitless.
你懂我的意思吧?
Get it?
毫无成果?
Fruitless?
就是说你的努力不会有什么结果,而具体不会有的结果就是香蕉,而香蕉是一种水果?
Like your attempts won't amount to anything and what they won't specifically amount to is bananas, which is a fruit?
我自己都被自己逗笑了。
I crack myself up.
真好笑,猴子。
Very funny, Monkie.
但你能不能别开玩笑了,来帮帮我?
But would you mind canning the jokes and helping me out?
别开玩笑了?
Canning the jokes?
这又是一个香蕉双关语吗?
Is that another banana pun?
因为我从没听说过吃罐装香蕉的。
Because I've never heard of eating canned banana before.
听起来有点恶心。
It sounds kinda gross.
不是的,
No,
Monkey。
Monkie.
这可不是什么双关语。
It is not a pun.
我是诚心诚意地请求。
It's a humble appeal.
看到你的把戏了吧。
See what you did there.
求情。
Appeal.
恳请。
Appeal.
像香蕉皮那样吗?
Like a banana peel?
猴子,我是认真的。
Monkie, I'm serious.
我可不会。
Not me.
我从来都不认真。
I'm never serious.
不过好吧。
But fine.
如果你愿意跟我分享你的香蕉树,我就帮你。
I'll help you if you'll share your banana plant with me.
乌龟犹豫了。
Turtle hesitated.
猴子虽然不是最聪明的香蕉,但他的身体很强壮,而她的身体却越来越虚弱。
Monkie wasn't the brightest banana in the bunch, but his body was strong and hers was getting weaker by the moment.
好吧,行。
Alright, fine.
我会把香蕉树分给你,猴子。
I'll share the banana plant with you, Monkey.
现在搭把手,行吗?
Now lend a hand, will you?
猴子跳进了水里。
Monkey dove into the water.
他和乌龟一起把香蕉树拖到岸边,然后穿过森林搬到了乌龟的花园里。
He and Turtle worked together to drag the banana plant to shore before carrying it across the forest to Turtle's garden.
谢谢你的帮忙,猴子。
Thanks for your help, monkey.
现在,我们把香蕉树种到土里怎么样?
Now, how about we put this banana plant in the earth?
我们等它
We'll wait for it to
等它长出香蕉来,等它们都变黄熟了,我们再分着吃。
sprout bananas, and then when they're all yellow and ripe, we'll share them.
好的。
Okay.
首先,如果你说“分享我们的劳动果实”,那会好笑得多。
First of all, it would have been far funnier if you had said, we'll share the fruits of our labors.
其次,我可不想等到那时候才分到香蕉。
And second, I don't wanna wait to get my share of the bananas.
我说咱们现在就把这棵香蕉树劈成两半。
I say we split the plant in half right now.
把树劈成两半?
Split the plant in half?
猴子,那样分一棵树可不对。
That is no way to share a plant, Monkie.
那样对待一个勇敢的英雄也不对,我可是跳进汹涌的河里救了你。
And that is no way to treat the courageous hero who dove into a raging roiling river to save you.
我要我那一半,乌龟。
I want my half, Turtle.
问题是,
The question is,
哪一半?
which half?
猴子上下打量了一下香蕉树。
Monkey looked the banana plant up and down.
当他的目光落在顶部宽大的绿叶上时,他咧嘴笑了。
When his gaze landed on the broad green leaves at the top, his face broke into a grin.
上半部分。
The top half.
我要上半部分。
I want the top half.
毕竟,那是香蕉会长出来的地方,所以是更好的那一半。
After all, that's the part where the bananas will sprout, so it's the better one.
还有,别想说服我好的那一半应该归你,因为相信我,那没用的。
And please, don't try convincing me that the better half should be yours because trust me, it's not gonna work.
嗯,其实,猴子。
Well, actually, monkey.
乌龟停了一下。
Turtle paused.
事实是,如果猴子选了上面,那好的那一半就是她的了。
The truth was if monkey picked the top, then the better half would be hers.
为什么?
Why?
因为她会得到下面,而下面有植物的根。
Because she would have the bottom, and the bottom had the plant's roots.
根会扎进土里,吸收所有养分,植物最终会长出香蕉。
The roots would dig into the earth, they would suck up all the nutrients, and the plant would eventually sprout bananas.
当然,上面那一半没有根。
The top half, of course, did not have roots.
所以,它不会长出香蕉。
Therefore, it would not sprout bananas.
但乌龟知道,猴子永远不会相信这个事实。
But Turtle knew that Monkie would never be convinced of this fact.
所以她只是叹了口气,笑了笑。
So she just sighed and smiled.
其实,猴子,我刚才想说的是,如果我们要把植物的顶部和底部切开,我需要你的帮助。
Actually, Monkie, what I was going to say is I'll need your help if we're going to split the plant's top from its bottom.
你介意再搭把手吗?
Do you mind lending another hand?
猴子高兴地答应了。
Monkey happily obliged.
他和乌龟把香蕉树切成了两半。
He and Turtle cut the banana plant in half.
然后乌龟开始在她的花园里种下半部分,而猴子则扛着上半部分穿过森林出发了。
Then as Turtle got to work planting the bottom half in her garden, Monkie set off through the forest carrying the top.
Monkey可是占了大便宜。
Certainly got the better end of that deal.
拿走了植物的上半部分。
End of the plant.
光剩下下半截,Turtle根本结不出果子。
With just the bottom, there's no way Turtle will get any fruit.
这整件事简直太搞笑了。
The whole thing is totally hilarious.
不是。
No.
太搞笑了,简直绝了。
Turtally hilarious.
不是。
No.
真是妙趣横生。
Turtally shell arious.
天哪,我真是太厉害了。
Man, I'm good.
猴子回到家后,赶紧把上半截种在了院子里。
When Monkie got home, he quickly planted his top half in his yard.
哦,对。
Oh, yeah.
随时都有可能,这棵植物马上就会长出香甜可口的香蕉。
Anytime now, this plant is gonna sprout sweet, delicious bananas.
我就坐在这儿,一直盯着它,直到它长出来。
I'll just sit here and keep my eyes peeled until it does.
好吧,你肯定也猜到了,猴子院子里的那棵植物并没有长出香甜可口的香蕉。
Well, as you can no doubt guess, the plant in Monkie's yard did not sprout sweet, delicious bananas.
它先是蔫了,然后枯萎,最后死掉了。
Instead, it wilted, then withered, then died.
这是怎么回事?
What's going on here?
为什么我的香蕉没长出来?
Why didn't my bananas grow?
我要去找乌龟。
I'm gonna go see Turtle.
她得给我解释解释。
She's got some explaining to do.
猴子气冲冲地走到乌龟家,发现她正坐在花园里,头顶上就是那棵香蕉树的另一半。
Monkey stomped over to Turtle's house, where he found her sitting in her garden beneath her half of the banana plant.
只是她那半棵看起来跟他的完全不一样,因为顶上长出了一串串熟透的黄香蕉。
Only her half looked nothing like his, because sprouting from the top were bunches and bunches of ripe yellow bananas.
哎呀,真是多谢你了,乌龟。
Well, thanks a lot, Turtle.
或者我该说,真是‘一串串’地谢你。
Or dare I say, thanks a bunch.
我那半棵树一个香蕉都没结。
My half of the plant didn't grow a single banana.
你那半怎么长了这么多?
How did your half grow so many?
很简单,猴子。
It was easy, Monkie.
我把它种进土里,根扎稳了,最后就长出了这么多香蕉。
I put it in the earth, the roots took hold, and eventually I had all these bananas.
乌龟对猴子咧嘴笑了笑。
Turtle gave Monkey a grin.
猴子没有回以笑容。
He did not grin back.
相反,他的眼里充满了泪水,乌龟心里充满了怜悯。
Instead, his eyes filled with tears and Turtle's heart filled with pity.
听我说,猴子。
Listen, Monkey.
像我这样的乌龟自己种香蕉,问题是,我爬不上去摘它们。
The thing about a turtle like me growing her own bananas is I can't climb up and pick them.
它们离地面太高了。
They're so high off the ground.
我得等它们自己掉下来,或者被风吹下来。
I have to wait for them to fall or get blown off by the wind.
所以,我跟你说吧。
So I'll tell you what.
如果你爬上去摘香蕉,我就跟你分着吃。
If you climb up and pick the bananas, I will share them with you.
猴子擦了擦眼睛。
Monkey wiped his eyes.
乌龟,你说的是真的吗?
Do you really mean it, Turtle?
如果我爬上去摘香蕉,你真的会分给我吗?
You'll share your bananas if I climb up and pick them?
我当然会。
I absolutely will.
毕竟,你可是帮了我一个大忙。
After all, you'll be doing me a huge favor.
那些香蕉可不是那么容易摘到的。
Those bananas aren't exactly low hanging fruits.
我说得对吧?
Am I right?
猴子一刻也没耽误。
Monkey didn't waste a second.
他伸出有力的胳膊和腿,开始顺着植物往上爬。
He reached out his strong arms and legs and began shimmying up the plant.
等他爬到顶上,你知道他做了什么吗?
Once he got to the top, do you know what he did?
他摘下一串香蕉,开始吃了起来。
He plucked off a bunch of bananas and began to eat them.
哦,这些香蕉真好吃,真熟。
Oh, the bananas are so tasty, so ripe.
乌龟跳开,一堆空香蕉皮哗啦啦地掉到地上。
Turtle jumped out of the way as a cascade of empty banana peels came tumbling to the ground.
猴子,你把香蕉都吃光了。
Monkie, you're eating all of the bananas.
我们本来应该一起分享的。
We were supposed to share them.
对。
Yeah.
我想我们确实应该分享,不是吗?
I guess we were, weren't we?
但现在我尝了这些香蕉,我决定对你们来说,这些香蕉是禁果。
But now that I'm tasting them, I've decided that for you, these bananas are forbidden fruit.
明白吗?
Get it?
禁果,就是那种你越得不到就越想要的东西?
Forbidden fruit, as in something you want more because you know you can't have it?
对。
Yeah.
我知道什么是禁果,猴子。
I know what forbidden fruit is, monkey.
但这株植物是我的。
But this plant is mine.
我应该得到我那份香蕉。
I should get my share of bananas.
我不知道,乌龟。
I don't know, Turtle.
没过多久,你就用那半坏掉的香蕉坑了我,让我少分了一份。
Not so long ago, you cheated me out of my share of bananas by giving me the bad half of the plant.
所以现在轮到我来占上风了。
So now it's my turn to come out on top.
乌龟叹了口气。
Turtle heaved a sigh.
猴子坚持要拿那棵植物里不好的一半。
Monkey had insisted on taking the bad half of the plant.
她怎么劝也劝不动他。
She never could have convinced him otherwise.
现在,他就在那儿吃着她的劳动成果,没错,就是那些果实。
And now, here he was eating, yes, the fruits of her labors.
乌龟的腿虽然慢,但脑子转得可快了。
Turtle's legs may have been slow, but her mind was swift.
猴子舒舒服服地躺在藤蔓顶端,一个接一个地剥香蕉吃。乌龟却开始动起了脑筋。
And as Monkey lounged at the top of the plant, gobbling down one banana after another, Turtle set her nimble mind into motion.
我有个主意,正好可以好好教训一下这只猴子。
I believe I have a plan for how to teach Monkie a lesson.
要是这招管用,那讨厌的家伙肯定得后悔。
And if it works, that pesky primate will be sorry.
说不定他还会像根香蕉一样,被扔得远远的。
In fact, he might even make like a banana.
然后裂开了。
And split.
你觉得乌龟会怎么报复猴子?
How do you think Turtle will get back at Monkie?
我们马上就会知道了。
We'll find out in a banana second.
好吧。
Okay.
抱歉。
I'm sorry.
这没我想的那么好笑。
That wasn't nearly as funny as I thought it would be.
而且,我们的休息时间可不止一纳秒。
And besides, our breaks are more than a nanosecond.
对吧?
Right?
有时候更像是,怎么说呢,一分钟。
Sometimes they're more like, I don't know, a minute.
总之,我再试一次。
Anyhow, I will try that again.
你觉得乌龟会怎么报复猴子呢?
How do you think Turtle will get back at Monkie?
我们稍作休息后就会揭晓。
We'll find out after a quick break.
一百年后,在一个很远很远的地方,等等。
One hundred years from now in a land far, far away hang on.
其实也没那么远。
It's not so far away at all, actually.

欢迎回到《圆圈故事》。
Welcome back to Circle Round.
我是丽贝卡·谢尔。
I'm Rebecca Scheer.
今天我们要讲的故事叫《头号人物》。
Today, our story is called top banana.
休息之前,猴子在乌龟的香蕉树顶上,吃光了她的香蕉,还不肯分享。
Before the break, Monkie was at the top of Turtle's banana plant, eating all of her bananas and refusing to share.
于是乌龟决定给猴子一个教训。
So Turtle decided to teach Monkie a lesson.
她用最快的速度,摇摇晃晃地走进了森林。
Moving as fast as her legs could carry her, she shuffled into the forest.
回来的时候,她红褐色的壳上堆满了刺。
When she came back, she had a heap of thorns balanced on her brownish red shell.
她一声不响,把那些扎人的荆棘撒在香蕉树周围。
Without making a sound, she scattered the prickly briars around the base of the banana plant.
猴子吃得太过专注,根本没注意到。
Monkie was so absorbed in his eating that he didn't even notice.
所以当他吃完最后一根香蕉,跳下来的时候——哎呀,你猜他正好落在了什么上面?
So when he finished the last banana and leaped down to the ground, wee, guess what he landed right on top of.
猴子被尖尖的刺扎得脚疼,跳来跳去。
Monkey sprang this way and that as his feet were stung by sharp pointy thorns.
就在他嗷嗷叫的时候,你猜他眼角余光瞥见了谁?脸上还挂着一丝笑意。
And as he hooted and hollered, guess who he spied out of the corner of his eye with a hint of a smile on her face.
哦,所以你觉得这很好笑,乌龟。
Oh, so you think this is funny, Turtle.
是吗?
Do you?
嗯,与其说好笑,不如说这是你应得的。
Well, not so much funny as fitting.
你答应过要和我分享我的香蕉的。
You promised you would share my bananas with me.
可你后来食言了。
Then you went back on your word.
所以我得做点什么,给你个教训,让你别再那么胡闹了。
So I had to do something to teach you a lesson for all of your monkeying around.
好吧。
Okay.
首先,我才是讲双关语的人,不是你。
First of all, I'm the pun guy, not you.
其次,你想谈教训人的事?
And second, you wanna talk about teaching lessons?
要不要我给你上一课,教训你偷东西和耍花招?
How about if I teach you a lesson for your thievery and tricks?
偷东西和耍花招?
Thievery and tricks?
你才是那个狡猾的人,猴子,而且你还是小偷。
You're the tricky one, monkey, and the thief.
你刚把我所有的香蕉都吃光了。
You just ate all of my bananas.
哦,而且我吃得很开心。
Oh, and I enjoyed them.
一串又一串。
Bunches and bunches.
不过这些都不重要。
But that's neither here nor there.
重点是,我要跟你算这笔账,乌龟。
The point is, I'm gonna get even with you, Turtle.
我会把你抓起来,喂给更大的动物,比如老鹰。
I am going to snatch you up and feed you to a bigger animal, like Eagle.
她肯定乐意把你收在翅膀下,或者干脆把你吃进肚子里。
She'd be happy to take you under her wing or into her stomach.
海龟吓得直哆嗦。
Turtle shivered.
她可不想最后成了那只凶猛猛禽的腹中餐。
She did not want to wind up in the belly of a vicious bird of prey.
于是,她再次静下心来想办法。
So once more, she put her mind to work.
我说,猴子啊,
You know, Monkie,
我劝你还是别把我喂给老鹰。
I wouldn't feed me to Eagle if I were you.
毕竟,如果老鹰吃了我,我的壳可能会让她胃疼,到时候她肯定会对你很生气。
After all, if Eagle tries to eat me, my shell may give her a stomachache, which would make her quite cross with you.
接着你就会变成她的下一顿美餐。
And next thing you know, you'll be her next meal.
乌龟心里清楚,老鹰聪明得很,根本不会真的去啃她的壳。
Turtle knew that Eagle was too smart to actually eat her shell.
老鹰在吞下去之前会把骨头吐出来,但猴子并不知道这一点。
The bird would break it off before chowing down, but Monkie didn't know that.
正如乌龟所希望的那样,她的这番话让猴子立刻停下了脚步。
And just as Turtle hoped, her declaration stopped him right in his tracks.
好吧。
Alright.
行吧。
Fine.
我会换种方式报复你的。
I'll get even with you some other way.
我……我要把你扔进火山里。
I'll oh, I'll drop you into a volcano.
对,就是火山。
Yeah, a volcano.
没错,那样你就彻底完蛋了。
Yeah, that'll get you into a hot mess.
乌龟又打了个寒颤。
Turtle shivered again.
掉进滚烫的火山里,谁都得没命。
No one could survive a fall into a burning hot volcano.
她该怎么说服对方放过自己呢?
How would she talk her way out of this one?
我说,猴子,你要是我的话,可别把我扔进火山里。
You know, Monkie, I wouldn't drop me into a volcano if I were you.
再说了,你要是把我扔进火山里,我这棕红色的皮肤只会变得越来越红,越来越漂亮,最后变成森林里最漂亮的生物,大家都得羡慕我。
After all, if you drop me into a volcano, my brownish red skin may become redder and redder and more and more beautiful until I'm the most beautiful creature in the forest and everyone will admire me.
猴子又一次被搞得晕头转向。
Once again, Monkie was thrown for a loop.
好吧。
Alright.
行吧。
Fine.
那我再想别的法子报复你。
Then I'll get even with you some other other way.
我……
I will
Monkey正绞尽脑汁,拼命想着新的报复办法时,Turtle灵机一动。
As Monkie wracked his brain, desperately seeking a new method of revenge, Turtle got an idea.
其实,Monkey,还真有一招能让你报复我。
Actually, monkey, there is one way you could get even with me.
不。
No.
但我不能告诉你。
But I can't tell you.
为什么?
Why?
你是什么情况?
What are you?
被吓傻了吗?
Shell shocked?
是的。
Yes.
你可以告诉我怎么报复你,而且你必须说。
You can tell me how to get even with you, and you will.
现在。
Now.
好吧。
Alright.
行。
Fine.
既然你这么聪明,小猴子,反正你迟早也会猜到的。
Since you're so clever, Monkie, and you'll probably figure it out anyway.
那就告诉你吧。
Here goes.
你还记得那天看到我在河里挣扎吗?
Do you remember the day you saw me struggling in the river?
我当然记得那天。
Of course I remember that day.
就是那天让我们陷入了这堆麻烦。
It's what got us into this whole mess.
但你记得我当时是怎么手忙脚乱、拼命扑腾的吗?
But do you remember how I was flailing and floundering?
我当时差点就沉下去了,Monkey,真的差点就沉下去了。
I was on the verge of going under, Monkie, going under.
那一刻可能就是我的最后一刻了。
That moment could have been my last.
Monkey停顿了一下。
Monkie paused.
Turtle之前一直在拼命挣扎,直到跳进水里来救她。
Turtle had been flailing and floundering until he jumped into the water to help her out.
如果他当时没待在岸上,她很可能就沉下去了。
Had he stayed on the shore, she very well could have gone under.
等等,乌龟。
Wait a minute, Turtle.
别说了,我已经想到一个完美的报复办法了。
Don't say another word because I have come up with the perfect way to get even.
我要把你扔进河里。
I will throw you into the river.
乌龟努力忍住没笑出来。
Turtle tried not to smile.
这正是她希望Monkey说出来的话。
This was exactly what she hoped Monkie would say.
但是Monkey,你不知道吗,如果你把我扔进河里,那我很可能就会……
But Monkie, don't you know that if you throw me into the river, then it's highly likely that I'm going to
淹死?
That you're gonna drown?
对,我知道。
Yes, I know.
就像你说的,我挺聪明的。
Like you said, I'm clever.
那你就好好享受你的报应吧,乌龟。
So have fun enjoying your just desserts, Turtle.
要是那能算甜品的话,毕竟我把你晚饭都吃光了。
If you could call it dessert, given that I ate all of your dinner.
猴子眼疾手快,一把用毛茸茸的手抓住乌龟的身体,把她拖到河边。
Quick as a wink, Monkey clamped his furry hands around Turtle's body and marched her to the river.
然后他把乌龟高高举过头顶。
Then he lifted Turtle high over his head.
这样你就能从壳里出来了。
This will get you out of your shell.
然后把她扔向空中。
And flung her into the air.
乌龟在水面上飞过,然后扑通一声掉进河里,沉得看不见了。
Turtle soared across the water before splashing into the river and sinking out of sight.
哎呀,希望这不会让她太受惊,或者我该说,太受‘壳’惊?
Boy, hope that wasn't too startling for her, or should I say too sturdling?
撞得这么厉害,也许她该戴个‘壳盔’才对。
With an impact like that, maybe she should have been wearing a shellmet.
不过说真的,我不该开这种玩笑。
But seriously, I shouldn't crack jokes.
毕竟,跟人告别的时候,可不是该‘壳’然作别的时候。
After all, when you say goodbye to someone, it's not the appropriate time to shell abrate.
但再次打招呼的时候,倒是挺合适的。
But it is appropriate when you say hello again.
或者说,是‘壳’好?
Or should I say, shell o?
猴子猛地转过身,只见乌龟正优雅又轻松地朝他游来。
Monkey whirled around, and there was Turtle, gracefully and easefully swimming his way.
谢谢你载我一程,猴子。
I want to thank you for the ride, Monkey.
这趟旅程简直太棒了。
It was turtally awesome.
或者说,比跟一群猴子一起玩还开心。
Or should I say, it was more fun than a barrel of monkeys.
可是乌龟,你之前跟我说
But turtle, you told me that
你是说我那天在河里挣扎的事?
That I was struggling in the river that day?
那是因为香蕉树。
I was because of the banana plant.
乌龟不拖着比自己大十倍的东西时,游泳可厉害了。
Turtles are excellent swimmers when they're not lugging around an object 10 times their size.
对不起,猴子,我误导了你。
I'm sorry if I misled you, Monkie.
我是想给你个教训,因为你误导了我。
I was trying to teach you a lesson for misleading me.
猴子低下了头。
Monkie hung his head.
乌龟说得对。
Turtle was right.
她信任他,他却辜负了这份信任。
She had put her trust in him and he had broken that trust.

所以现在她算是报了仇了。
So now she had gotten her revenge.
事实上,你甚至可以说她让猴子出了洋相。
In fact, you could even say she had made a monkey out of him.
嗯,我很高兴地说,在香蕉树事件之后,猴子改变了态度。
Well, I'm happy to say that after the banana plant incident, monkey changed his tune.
他没有停止说双关语,但他确实开始练习善良、慷慨和诚实。
He did not stop punning, but he did start practicing kindness, generosity, and honesty.
这无疑让他变得更讨人喜欢了。
And that definitely made him a far more appealing guy to have around.
现在轮到你了。
Now it's your turn.
想想你和别人分享的时刻。
Think about a time you shared with someone.
也许你和朋友一起拼拼图,轮流挑选拼图块。
Perhaps you put together a puzzle with a friend and took turns picking out pieces.
也许你和同学分享过零食,或者捐过衣服和书籍给慈善机构。
Maybe you shared a snack with a classmate or donated some clothing or books to a charity.
分享并不总是件容易的事,但它能让我们感觉良好。
Sharing isn't always easy, but it can make us feel good.
更重要的是,它还能让和你一起分享的人感到很开心。
And what's more, it can make the people we're sharing with feel great.
