现在，节目开始。

Now, on to the show.

我是Rhea。

This is Rhea.

欢迎收听Little Stories for Tiny People。

Welcome to Little Stories for Tiny People.

这里发生什么事了？

What is going on here?

等一下。

Hold on a second.

唉。

Ugh.

我的麦克风上全是蜘蛛网。

There were cobwebs all over my microphone.

我知道是你干的。

I know you did this.

我知道是他们干的。

I know they did this.

如果你是新听众，你可能会好奇是谁。

Who, you might be wondering if you're a new listener.

就是住在我小工作室最上面角落里的那些蜘蛛。

The spiders who live in the uppermost corners of my little studio.

通常，他们会从他们的小笔记本电脑给我发邮件，但显然他们——哦，我收到一封邮件。

Usually, they send me emails from their tiny laptops, but apparently they-- Oh, I have an email.

我想知道这是谁发的。

I wonder who this is from.

“亲爱的Rhea，我们把你的麦克风盖上蜘蛛网是有充分理由的。”

"Dear Rhea, we covered your microphone in cobwebs for a very good reason."

“你一直无视我们。

"You have been ignoring us.

我们不得不引起你的注意，这是唯一的方法。”

We had to get your attention, and this was the only way."

不至于吧。

Not really.

好，让我看看。

Okay, let me see here.

等等，等等，等等。

Blah, blah, blah.

哦，来了来了。

Oh, here we go.

“我们要求更多斯温德尔托斯女士。”

"We demand more Ms. Swindletoth.

她应该出现在每个故事里。

She should be in every story.

“如果你不把斯温德尔托斯女士加到下一个……”好吧，听着。

If you do not add Ms. Swindletoth to this next..." All right, look.

我不吃威胁这一套，好吗？

I don't respond to threats, okay?

如果我想把斯温德尔托斯女士写进故事，我就会这么做。

If I want to put Ms. Swindletoth in a story, I will do so.

你们就听着，看我会不会这么做吧。

You'll just have to listen and find out if I do.

我们的故事叫《小刺猬回到课堂》。

Our story is called "Little Hedgehog is Back in Class."

交给你了，萨维。

Take it away, Savi.

记住，没有图片。

Remember, there are no pictures.

你得在脑海里想象这些画面。

You'll have to imagine the pictures in your mind.

你想怎么想象都可以。

You can imagine them however you want.

好，我们开始吧。

Okay, here we go.

小刺猬和她最好的朋友贝贝，迫不及待地等着开学第一晚的到来。

Little Hedgehog and Bebe, her best friend of all time, could not wait for the first night of school.

他们在刺刺宝贝夏令营度过了一段超棒的时光，那可是专为爱冒险的小刺猬们准备的顶级夏令营，他们特别期待跟同学们分享所有的精彩瞬间。

They'd had an amazing time at Camp Prickle Tots, the premier summer camp for adventurous young hedgehogs, and they looked forward to telling their classmates all the highlights.

他们也等不及想知道朋友们都经历了什么。

They also couldn't wait to see what their friends had been up to.

贝贝，我在想，会不会有人突然长高了，或者有人戴上了时髦的平光眼镜。

I wonder if anyone had a growth spurt, Bebe, or if anyone got fashionable non-prescription glasses.

或者戴个眼罩。

Or an eye patch.

开学前的最后几个晚上，真是让人兴奋的时光。

It was a thrilling time, those last few nights before the school year began.

但有一个问题。

There was just one problem.

夏末的一个晴朗夜晚，小刺猬和贝贝在小刺猬的洞穴外，用树枝在泥土上画刺猬。

On a clear night at the end of the summer, Little Hedgehog and Bebe were drawing hedgehogs in the dirt using sticks outside Little Hedgehog's burrow.

贝贝，你看我的画是不是很像刺猬夏令营的露西尔辅导员？

Bebe, doesn't mine look like Counselor Lucille from Camp Prickle Tots?

确实像。

It does.

这时，一只送信的蜻蜓差点落在贝贝的刺上，然后猛地一偏，落在了地上。

When a delivery dragonfly nearly alighted upon Bebe's prickles before veering away wildly and settling on the ground.

哇，好险啊。

Whoa, that was close.

你就是那只刺很尖的刺猬，对吧？

You're that hedgehog with the sharp prickles, aren't you?

是的。

I am.

你真该把这些刺磨平一点。

You should really file those down.

我妈妈说，这些刺是让我与众不同的东西之一，除了我的书法、捉蟋蟀和飞钓技巧之外。

My mom says they are one of the things that make me unique, in addition to my skills at calligraphy, cricket snare setting, and fly fishing.

贝贝，飞钓是不是就是试着去钓鱼？

Bebe, is fly fishing where you try to catch fish?

贝贝摇了摇头。

Bebe shook her head.

是钓苍蝇。

Flies.

好了，孩子们，别闲聊了。

Okay, kids, enough chitchat.

我这儿有一封给一只小刺猬的信。

I've got a letter for a Little Hedgehog.

哎呀，那就是我。

Eek, that's me.

既然我也不急着见你那位妈妈，那就顺便帮你找找信吧，孩子。

And since I'm not itching to meet this mom of yours, let me find your letter too, kid.

提醒我一下你叫什么名字。

Remind me your name.

贝贝刺猬，住在拐弯那边的地洞里。

Bebe Hedgehog, from the burrow 'round the bend.

啊，找到了。

Ah, here we go.

蜻蜓在黑暗中眯起了眼睛。

The dragonfly squinted in the darkness.

贝贝刺猬，住在拐弯处那个洞穴里的。

Bebe Hedgehog, from the burrow 'round the bend.

谢谢。

Thank you.

今晚是个重要的夜晚。

This is a momentous evening.

送信的蜻蜓飞向空中，在刺猬们上方盘旋。

The delivery dragonfly fluttered into the air and hovered above the hedgehogs.

孩子们，这些信怎么让你们这么兴奋？

What's got you so excited about these letters, kids?

它们掌握着我们整个学年的命运。

They hold the key to the fate of our entire school year.

它们将决定我们未来十个月的生活走向。

They will determine the course of our lives for the next 10 months.

信里有我们新老师的名字。

They contain the names of our new teachers.

我们的新老师。

Of our new teachers.

啊，好的。

Ah, okay.

孩子们，这个不用太担心。

I wouldn't sweat that too much, kids.

也就十个月而已。

It's only 10 months.

你们会好好度过的。

You'll make the best of it.

再见。

See ya.

还有，把这些磨平。

And file those down.

蜻蜓飞走了。

The dragonfly flew away.

贝贝，你先打开你的。

Open yours first, Bebe.

不，你先来。

No, you.

我坚持让你先来。

I insist.

贝贝，我要求你先开。

Bebe, I demand.

这样怎么样？

How about this?

我们同时打开。

We open them at the exact same moment.

好。

Okay.

三，二，一，打开。

Three, two, one, open.

三、二、一，打开。

Three, two, one, open.

两只小刺猬撕开信封，倒吸了一口气。

The two tiny hedgehogs tore open the envelopes and gasped.

哈默蒂斯特老师。

Ms. Hammertistle.

哈默惠斯尔老师。

Ms. Hammerwhistle.

哎呀，我是说蒂斯特。

Oops, I mean Thistle.

哈默蒂斯特老师可是出了名的，学校里流传着关于她的各种谣言。

Ms. Hammertistle was notorious, the subject of countless rumors swirling around school.

我听说她早餐吃仙人掌。

I heard she eats cactuses for breakfast.

她这辈子只笑过一两次。

She's only laughed one and a half times in her whole life.

我表哥邻居的数学家教告诉我，她只要跟一个孩子对视一眼，就能让他肚子疼三个星期。

My cousin's neighbor's math tutor told me she gave a kid a tummy ache for three weeks just by making eye contact with him.

听说她站着睡觉。

I hear she sleeps standing up.

最后那条几乎肯定是真的，因为哈默蒂斯尔小姐是一只火烈鸟。

That last one was almost certainly true, since Ms. Hammertistle Was a flamingo.

“贝贝，我们该怎么办？”

"Bebe, what are we going to do?"

“我不知道，但至少我们会一起挺过去。”

"I do not know, but at least we'll get through it together."

很快，重要的夜晚来临了，贝贝来到了小刺猬的家门口。

Soon, the big night arrived, and Bebe arrived on Little Hedgehog's doorstep.

“嘿，贝贝，”刺猬先生打开洞穴的门说。

"Hey, Bebe," Mr. Hedgehog said, opening the burrow door.

“小刺猬马上就准备好了——” “我来了。”

"Little Hedgehog's just finishing up getting-" "I'm here.

嗨，贝贝，小刺猬说着，转着圈进了房间。

Hi, Bebe," Little Hedgehog said, twirling into the room.

你好，小刺猬。

"Greetings, Little Hedgehog.

我喜欢你的新刺蝴蝶结。

I like your new prickle bow."

谢谢。

"Thank you.

这是我奶奶刺猬送给我的开学礼物。

My Nana Hedgehog gave it to me as a back-to-school gift."

贝贝，你穿的这件衣服真有意思。

"Bebe, that's an interesting garment you have on."

我喜欢这个粉色。

"I love the pink color.

它让你的眼刺更显眼了。

It brings out your eyeball prickles."

谢谢你。

"Thank you.

这是一件多功能背心。

It is a utility vest.

这是我表姐Girlinda穿不下给我的开学礼物，她在一次波托贝洛蘑菇大胃王比赛中得了第一名，之后就穿不下了。

It is a paw-me-down back to school gift from my cousin, Girlinda, who grew out of it after winning first place in a portobello mushroom eating contest.

我可以把所有日常用品都放进去，Bebe边说边把手伸进一个个口袋里。

I can fit all of my everyday items in it," Bebe said, fishing a paw into the many pockets.

比如我的放大镜。

"Such as my magnifying glass."

哦。

"Oh."

我的线团。

My ball of twine."

真不错。

"Nifty."

上学带这个有点夸张吧，不过也行。

"Seems like overkill for school, but okay.

还有我的迷你订书机。

And my miniature stapler."

糖果。

"Candy."

你每天都需要那个吗？

"You need that daily?

你永远不知道什么时候需要整理和装订文件，刺猬先生。

You never know when you might need to collate and staple, Mr. Hedgehog."

小刺猬和贝贝转身准备离开。

Little Hedgehog and Bebe turned to leave.

再见，爸爸。

"Bye, Dad."

回头见，刺猬先生。

"See you later, Mr. Hedgehog."

等等。

"Hold on.

小刺猬，你为什么要穿那件斗篷？

Little Hedgehog, why are you wearing that poncho?"

刺猬先生直到那一刻才注意到小刺猬肩上披着一件宽松的衣服，而那时他刚喝完晚上的第一杯茶。

Mr. Hedgehog had only just had his first cup of tea for the evening, and the fact that Little Hedgehog was wearing a loosely fitted garment slung over her shoulder prickles had escaped his attention until that very moment.

小刺猬和贝贝咯咯地笑了。

Little Hedgehog and Bebe giggled.

爸爸，这是披风。

"Dad, this is a cape."

刺猬先生，披风比传统斗篷更正式一些。

"A cape has more formal styling than a traditional poncho, Mr. Hedgehog."

小刺猬，你为什么要穿那件披风？

"Little Hedgehog, why are you wearing that cape?"

这件披风吗？

"This cape?"

是的。

"Yep.

就是披在小刺猬肩膀上的那件斗篷，刺猬先生。

The cape that is draped over Little Hedgehog's shoulder prickles, Mr. Hedgehog.

附近唯一的一件斗篷。

The only cape in the vicinity.

你为什么要穿它？

Why are you wearing it?"

为了好玩，爸爸。

"For fun, Dad."

纯粹是为了穿衣的乐趣，刺猬先生。

"Pure sartorial enjoyment, Mr. Hedgehog."

刺猬先生眯起了眼睛。

Mr. Hedgehog squinted.

好了，去上学吧。

"Okay, off to school."

“好消息，刺猬先生。”

"Good tidings, Mr. Hedgehog."

“耶。”

"Yay."

“耶。”

"Yay."

“耶。”

"Yay."

最后一个“耶”是从小刺猬的斗篷下面传来的。

The final yay came from beneath Little Hedgehog's poncho.

我是说，披风。

I mean, cape.

别急。

Not so fast.

小刺猬穿披风可能只是为了好玩，但她其实是想把她的宠物变色龙“小家伙”偷偷带到学校去。

Little Hedgehog might have been wearing her cape for fun, but she was also wearing it in order to smuggle her pet chameleon, Little Guy, to school.

“把它放回去。”

"Put him back."

“好的，爸爸。”

"Okay, Dad.

“对不起，小不点。”

Sorry, Little Guy.

“我尽力了。”

I tried."

几分钟后，小刺猬和贝贝出发了。

Minutes later, Little Hedgehog and Bebe were on their way.

小刺猬不再披着她的斗篷了。

Little Hedgehog was no longer wearing her cape.

“你爸爸怎么总能知道我们在干什么？”

"How does your dad always seem to know what we're up to?"

“我不知道，贝贝。”

"I don't know, Bebe.

就好像他知道一些我们不知道的事情。

It's almost as if he knows things we don't."

那是一个美丽的夜晚。

It was a beautiful night.

月亮像一片金色的柠檬皮挂在天空中。

The moon was a golden curl of lemon rind in the sky.

两只小刺猬沿着去学校的小路蹦蹦跳跳地走着，一边讨论着哈默索尔老师。

As the two tiny hedgehogs skipped along the trail to school, they discussed Ms. Hammerthistle.

“贝贝，你觉得那些传言是真的吗？”

"Bebe, do you think the rumors are true?"

“我觉得是的。

"I suppose so.

各种传言都一致说她是最严格、最严厉、最不宽容的……哦，你看这个，小刺猬。”

The various rumors are remarkably consistent in describing her as the strictest, sternest, most unforgiving... Oh, look at this, Little Hedgehog."

贝贝从她众多的口袋里掏出了放大镜和一支笔形手电筒。

Bebe fished in one of her many pockets for her magnifying glass and a pen light.

她把它们举到地上的某个东西前。

She held them up to something on the ground.

那是一只蜗牛。

It was a snail.

就一秒，想象一下你是这只蜗牛。

For just one second, imagine being this snail.

你在黑夜中慢慢爬行，突然一道刺眼的光不知从哪儿冒出来，两只巨大的、浑身是刺的哺乳动物俯身盯着你，咧嘴大笑。

You're moseying along in the dark of the night when a blinding light comes out of nowhere and two enormous prickly mammals loom over you, grinning wildly.

蜗牛吓坏了。

The snail was terrified.

它缩向地面，在笔灯的热度下瑟瑟发抖。

It shrank towards the ground, quivering beneath the heat of the pen light.

“你好。”

"Hello."

“你好呀。”

"Greetings."

“哦，它好可爱啊。”

"Oh, it's so cute."

“看它的触角眼睛。

"Look at its tentacle eyes.

不知道它们是不是应该那样抖。”

I wonder if they're supposed to be shaking like that."

“别担心，小蜗牛。

"Don't worry, snail.

我们已经吃过早餐了。

We already ate breakfast.

走吧，贝贝。

Come on, Bebe.

我们不想上学迟到。”

We don't want to be late for school."

“确实。”

"Indeed."

刺眼的灯光熄灭了，那些巨大的刺球熊慢悠悠地走开了。

The blinding light switched off, and the massive prickle bears lumbered away.

到了学校，学生们被带进院子里听晚间通知。

Once at school, the students were ushered into the courtyard for evening announcements.

院子周围摆着小灯笼，两棵树之间挂着一串大字，写着“欢迎回来，同学们”。

Small lanterns were placed around the courtyard's perimeter, and there were large letters strung up between two trees that read, "Welcome back, students."

佩特里·迪什校长站到了麦克风前。

Principal Petri Dish took her place at the microphone.

“欢迎同学们，我坚信这将是你们迄今为止最开阔眼界的一个学年。

"Welcome, students, to what I firmly believe will be the most eye-opening school year yet.

在送你们去教室之前，我有几个激动人心的通知要宣布，你们一定会在那里茁壮成长，不像我家餐桌上那盆正在枯萎的兰花。”

I have several thrilling announcements to share with you before I send you off to your classrooms, where you will undoubtedly flourish and thrive, unlike the withering orchid currently on my dining room table."

几十个学生眨着眼睛看着佩特里·迪什校长。

The dozens of students blinked up at Principal Petri Dish.

“贝贝，”小刺猬低声说，扫视着站在一旁的老师们。

"Bebe," Little Hedgehog whispered, scanning the teachers who stood off to the side.

你看到哈默索尔老师在哪里吗？

"Do you see Ms. Hammerthistle anywhere?"

庭院的一扇门打开了。

A door to the courtyard swung open.

哈默索尔老师迈着细长的腿走了出来，站到了其他老师中间。

Ms. Hammerthistle stalked out of it on spindly legs and settled in among the other teachers.

好了，我们对学校的着装规范做了一些调整。

Now then, we've made a few tweaks to our school dress code.

现在穿裤子必须搭配背带。

Suspenders must now be worn with trousers.

有意思。

Interesting.

任何戴眼镜的学生现在必须有相应的处方。

Any student wearing eyeglasses must now have a prescription for said eyeglasses.

几个学生摘下了他们时尚但多余的眼镜，放进了口袋里。

Several students removed their fashionable, yet unnecessary eyeglasses and tucked them into pockets.

我怀着沉重的心情说这句话，但是……

And I say this with a heavy heart, but...

学生们都皱起了眉头。

The students collectively furrowed their brows.

我们不再允许穿口袋超过37个的衣服。

We no longer allow garments with more than 37 pockets.

“我的背心有35个口袋，”贝贝小声说。

"My vest has 35," Bebe whispered.

“好险啊，贝贝。”

"That was close, Bebe."

现在，有请斯温德尔图斯女士，你们最喜爱的学生活动总监，来宣布一件事。

And now, we've got an announcement from Ms. Swindletooth, your favorite student activities director.

她来了。

Here she is.

事实上，斯温德尔图斯女士是唯一的学生活动总监。

Ms. Swindletooth was, in fact, the only student activities director.

她也是一只体型不寻常的大兔子，门牙突出，耳朵比例夸张，还喜欢为即将到来的学校活动和节目唱自己原创的歌。

She was also a rabbit of unusual size with prominent front teeth, generously proportioned ears, and a tendency to perform original songs about upcoming school events and programs.

她走到麦克风前，闭上眼睛，故意制造悬念。

She stepped up to the microphone and closed her eyes, allowing the suspense to build.

学生们交换了一下略带担忧的眼神。

The students exchanged mildly concerned looks.

在一边，校长皮氏培养皿的耳朵动了动，而就在那一刻，小刺猬坐在院子里，在柠檬皮月亮的照耀下，看到了改变一切的东西。

Off to the side, Principal Petri Dish's ears twitched, and at that very moment, in her seat in the courtyard, beneath the lemon rind moon, Little Hedgehog saw something that changed everything.
