Now on to our story.

今天是星期六，伯尼斯在熊爸爸还没喝完咖啡之前就起床了。

It is Saturday, and Bernice is up before Papa Bear even finishes his coffee.

伯尼斯眼睛半睁半闭，跌跌撞撞地走进厨房。

Bernice stumbles into the kitchen with her eyes barely open.

熊爸爸问她怎么起这么早，她提醒他说，她要去和熊妈妈一起跑步，还让他给她准备点跑步前吃的，顺便点了跑完步后想吃的早餐。

When Papa Bear asks why she is up, she reminds him that she is going for a run with Mama Bear and asks for some fuel for her run and puts in a request for what she'd like for breakfast afterwards.

伯尼斯和熊妈妈一起去跑步了。

Bernice goes for a run with Mama Bear.

伯尼斯一边揉着眼睛，一边慢慢走下楼梯。

Bernice walked down the stairs slowly as she wiped the sleep from her eyes.

她不太确定自己是醒了还是在做梦。

She wasn't entirely sure she was awake yet or in a dream.

有时候刚从很深的睡眠中醒来，确实有点难分辨。

Sometimes when you just wake up from a really deep sleep, it's kinda hard to tell.

她拖着步子走进厨房，给了坐在餐桌旁的熊爸爸一个大大的拥抱。

She scuffed her way into the kitchen where she gave Papa Bear, who was sitting at the kitchen table, a great big hug.

她觉得自己那一刻可能又要睡着了。

She thought she might go back to sleep at that very moment.

早上好，小熊。

Good morning, little bear.

你怎么起这么早？

Why are you up so early?

我以为上了一周的学，这个周六你会想多睡一会儿呢。

I thought after a week of school, you might want to sleep in a little bit this Saturday.

你今天应该没有游泳训练吧。

You don't have swimming practice, I think.

爸爸，现在不早了。

It's not early, papa.

其实特别早。

It's super early.

我眼睛都快睁不开了，不过好像慢慢适应了。

I can hardly keep my eyes open, though it's getting easier, I guess.

你可以回去再睡一会儿。

You can go back to bed and have more sleep.

今天休息，你也没什么安排。

It's a free day today, and you have nothing planned.

爸爸，你不记得了吗？

Don't you remember, papa?

我今天早上要跟妈妈一起去跑步。

I am going running with mama this morning.

她说我可以跟她一起去。

She said I could come with her.

而且因为夏天我们只跑过几次步，我又没有游泳课或者其他什么安排，所以我们觉得今天是个好日子，伯尼斯说着，开始伸懒腰、打哈欠。

And since we only went running a few times over the summer and I don't have swimming or any other things and stuff, we thought today would be a good day, Bernice said as she started to stretch and yawn.

哦，对。

Oh, right.

我完全忘了这回事。

I forgot all about that.

我喝完早上的咖啡之前，脑子都不太清醒，而且我还没喝完呢。

My memory doesn't really work until I finish my morning coffee, and I haven't finished it yet.

妈妈在哪儿？

Where is mama?

我起来的时候没在你们卧室看到她，浴室里也没有。

I didn't see her in your guys' bedroom, and she wasn't in the bathroom when I got up.

我觉得她可能出去热身了，小熊。

I think she just might have gone outside to warm up, little bear.

她需要长时间热身，才能跟上你，因为你跑得太快了。

She needs a long warm up so that she can keep up with you because you are so fast.

你不如去换上跑步的衣服，然后吃根香蕉，或者来片吐司，这样跑步前就不会饿了。

Why don't you get your running clothes on and then have a banana and maybe a slice of toast so that you aren't hungry before you run?

好的，爸爸。

Okay, papa.

但跟你说清楚，这可不是早餐。

But just so you know, this isn't breakfast.

明白吗？

Okay?

早餐是之后的事。

That comes later.

这只是跑步前的补充能量。

This is just fuel for the run.

哦，还有，如果跑完步能来点蜂蜜蛋糕就太好了，伯尼斯说着就去换跑步的衣服了。

Oh, and I wouldn't mind honey cakes after a hard run-in case you were thinking about it, Bernice said as she went to get dressed for her run.

我看看能做什么吧，熊爸爸笑着说。

I'll see what I can do, Papa Bear said with a laugh.

伯尼斯回到卧室，穿上她最喜欢的跑步短裤和那双更漂亮的袜子，那双袜子她专门留着跑步时穿。

Bernice went up to her bedroom and put on her favorite running shorts and her more fancy socks, which she saved just for running.

那是妈妈送的礼物，一开始有点大，但现在她的脚长大了，穿着舒服多了。

They were a gift from Mama and had been a little big at first, but felt more comfy now that her feet had grown.

然后她穿上配套的跑步上衣，上面写着“跑步者”三个字，免得别人不知道她在干什么。

Then she put on her matching running shirt, which had the word runner on it in case anyone was confused about what she was doing.

爸爸，我准备好了，她跑进厨房时说，现在精神多了。

I'm all ready, papa, she said as she ran into the kitchen, much more awake now.

你看上去很专业，伯尼斯。

You look very professional, Bernice.

我刚放了几片面包在烤面包机里，还给你拿了一根香蕉。

I just put a couple of slices of toast in the toaster, and I got you a banana.

吃完这些，再喝点水，你就准备好了。

You should be ready after you eat this and drink some water.

我问过妈妈了，她热身快结束了，等你吃完第一顿早餐，她就能准备好出发了。

I checked with Mama, and she is almost done with her warm up and will be ready to go just as soon as you finish your first breakfast.

这是能量补给，爸爸，伯尼斯一边剥香蕉一边说。

It's fuel, papa, Bernice said as she peeled her banana.

伯尼斯爱香蕉的程度几乎和爱饼干一样深。

Bernice loved bananas almost as much as she loved cookies.

她之前问过熊爸爸能不能做香蕉饼干，但他不太确定自己会做。

She had asked Papa Bear before if he could make banana cookies, but he wasn't sure he could.

他觉得香蕉更常出现在面包里。

He thought bananas were more common in bread.

香蕉面包也超级好吃。

Banana bread was super yummy too.

伊桑的奶奶家里通常会有一些香蕉面包，还有很多巧克力蛋糕，那些蛋糕看起来总是热乎乎、新鲜出炉的。

Ethan's grandmother usually had some at her house along with lots of chocolate cake, which always seemed to be warm and fresh.

爸爸，你知道吗，香蕉越熟就越甜？

Papa, did you know the riper a banana is, the sweeter it becomes?

我觉得这还挺神奇的。

Which is kind of amazing, I think.

我在我的新科学书里读到了关于香蕉的所有知识。

I read all about bananas in my new science book.

香蕉是绿色的时候，里面的淀粉含量高得多，所以尝起来没那么甜。

When they're green, they have way more starch in them, which is why they don't taste as sweet.

但等它们熟了，酶会把一部分淀粉分解成糖。

But when they ripen, enzymes break some of that starch down into sugars.

所以香蕉越黄、斑点越多，就越甜。

So the more yellow and spotty they get, the sweeter they taste.

有意思。

Fun.

不过要是香蕉变得特别棕、特别软，我就不想吃了，虽然我知道它们还是好的。

Except if they get really brown and squishy, I don't wanna eat them anymore, even though I know they are still good.

有一天，博比的午餐盒里就有一根这样的香蕉。

Bobby had one of those in his lunchbox one day.

我觉得那根香蕉可能放了一个星期左右了。

I think it might have been in there for a week or so.

他还是吃了，我觉得那可不是个好主意。

He still ate it, which I didn't think was a good idea.

熊爸爸笑了。

Papa Bear smiled.

我最喜欢绿色的香蕉。

I like the green ones best.

哦，我还读到，香蕉在还是绿色的时候就被摘下来了，因为它们要经过很远的运输才能到我们这里。

Oh, and I was reading that bananas are picked when they're still green because they have to travel super far to get here.

然后人们控制温度，并使用一种叫做乙烯的气体来帮助它们在合适的时间成熟，这种气体香蕉自己本来就会产生。

Then people control the temperature and use something called ethylene gas, which bananas make naturally anyway, to help them ripen at the right time.

所以即使我们附近没有香蕉树，我们也能去商店买到新鲜的香蕉。

So we can just go to the store and buy a fresh banana even though there aren't any banana trees growing anywhere near us.

这里太冷了，种不了香蕉。

It's too cold here for that.

这真是科学的奇迹，爸爸。

That's kind of a miracle of science, papa.

还有船、卡车，以及所有把它们运到这里的人，我想也是。

And ships and trucks and all the people who have to get them here, I guess.

伯尼斯又咬了一口。

Bernice took another bite.

我觉得这根香蕉的甜度几乎刚刚好。

This one is at almost the perfect sweetness level, I think.

也许再放一天会更好，但咬了几口之后，我觉得现在也没法放回去了。

Maybe one more day would be better, but I don't think I can put it back now after taking a few bites.

就在伯尼斯吃完香蕉的时候，她开始想吐司上要抹什么。

Just as Bernice was finishing her banana, she started thinking about what to put on her toast.

爸爸在桌上放了三种不同的果酱，这让做决定变得特别难。

Papa had three different kinds of jam on the table, which made making decisions super hard.

它们都太好吃了。

They were all so good.

她还没决定好，熊妈妈就从正门进来了。

Before she had decided, Mama Bear came in the front door.

妈妈，你准备好了吗？

Mama, are you ready?

你热身的时间可真够长的。

You certainly take a long time to warm up.

我一穿上运动鞋就能马上跑得飞快。

I am ready to run fast as soon as I put my sneakers on.

我想这就是年纪大了以后的情况吧。

I guess that's what happens when you get older.

熊爸爸清了清嗓子，笑了笑。

Papa Bear cleared his throat and smiled.

我是说，当你变得更成熟什么的，伯尼斯笑着说。

I I mean, when you get more mature and stuff, Bernice said with a smile.

熊妈妈擦了擦额头上的汗，笑了起来。

Wiping the sweat from her forehead, Mama Bear laughed.

人越成熟，确实需要更多时间。

When you get more mature, you do need more time.

我去喝口水，也就准备好了。

Let me get a drink of water, and I'll be ready too.

好的，妈妈。

Okay, mama.

我只需要把吐司吃完。

I just need to finish my toast.

我得确保自己吃饱了，准备好去跑步。

I need to make sure I am fueled and ready for our run.

所以我在吐司上抹了草莓酱、蓝莓酱和覆盆子酱，为了更有能量。

That's why I put strawberry, blueberry, and raspberry jam on my toast for more energy.

等我们回来，爸爸说他会给我们准备世界上最美味的早餐。

And when we get back, Papa said he would have the tastiest breakfast in the world ready for us.

我希望是蜂蜜蛋糕，但爸爸只说他会尽力，这其实就是他说的“也许”。

I hope it is honey cakes, but Papa only said he would see what he could do, which is his way of saying maybe.

我想那可能是他清晨的‘好’，熊妈妈笑着说。

I think that might be his early morning yes, Mama Bear said with a smile.

熊爸爸轻声笑了笑。

Papa Bear chuckled.

先喝咖啡，再吃蜂蜜蛋糕。

Coffee first, then honey cakes.

伯尼斯吃完最后一口吐司，跑到前门去穿她的运动鞋。

Bernice took the last bite of her toast and then ran to the front door to put on her sneakers.

就是那双带赛车条纹的漂亮鞋子。

The fancy ones with the racing stripes on them.

库奇从角落探出头来，想看看外面在闹什么。

Cookie peeked around the corner to see what all the commotion was about.

嗨，库奇。

Hi, Cookie.

我要出去和妈妈赛跑。

I am going outside to have a race with mama.

这不是比赛，妈妈在厨房里笑着说。

It's not a race, mama called from the kitchen with a laugh.

我觉得你不能来，因为你更像短跑选手，而且我没有给你准备牵引绳，没法确保你不会跑到自行车前面或者遇到其他危险的情况。

I don't think you can come because I think you are more of a sprinter, and I don't have a harness for you so that I can make sure you don't run-in front of a bicycle and dangerous stuff like that.

我觉得自行车从你尾巴上碾过去会很疼，我不想你受伤。

I think a bicycle going over your tail would hurt a lot, and I wouldn't want you to get hurt.

但也许有一天你可以跟我一起去。

But maybe someday you can come with me.

系好鞋带后，伯尼斯摸了摸库基，喊道：好了，妈妈，我准备好了。

After tying her sneakers just right, Bernice gave Cookie a pet and called out, okay, mama, I'm ready to go.

我在外面等你。

I'll be outside waiting for you.

你不想先热热身吗？

Don't you want to warm up a little?

妈妈熊问道，她走出门，看到伯尼斯已经沿着车道走下去了。

Mama Bear asked as she stepped outside and saw that Bernice was already walking down their driveway.

我觉得不用。

I don't think so.

我真的不需要。

I don't really need to.

我随时都准备好了，而且我觉得我就是想跑，因为外面特别冷。

I am always ready, and I think I just want to run because it's super chilly outside.

要是我早知道，我可能会穿上我的冬季厚外套，虽然它可能藏在某个我不知道的地方，伯尼斯一边跳上跳下取暖一边说。

And if I had known, I might have worn my winter parka even though it is likely hiding in some place I don't know about, Bernice said as she jumped up and down trying to get warm.

今天早上是有点冷。

It is a bit crisp this morning.

我们为什么不慢慢开始，让你的身体适应跑步呢？

Why don't we start off slow and let your body get used to running?

我已经适应跑步了，妈妈。

I'm already used to running, mama.

是的。

Yes.

我知道。

I know.

但是，我的意思是，让你的身体现在准备好跑步。

But, I mean, let your body get ready for running right now.

你的身体需要慢慢适应，熊妈妈说着，他们开始沿着人行道走。

Your body needs to slowly prepare itself, Mama Bear said as they started down the sidewalk.

我们可以从咱们小区开始，往右拐，然后沿着那条街跑到公园，那里早上有其他跑步的人，我们可以一起跑。

We can start here in our neighborhood, take a right up here, and then take that street to the park where we can run with the other runners out this morning.

那是伊桑奶奶住的那条街，伯尼斯一边说，一边在熊妈妈身边慢跑。

That's the street that Ethan's grandmother lives on, Bernice said as she jogged beside Mama Bear.

我敢打赌，如果我们去敲她的门，她肯定有热巧克力蛋糕等着我们。

I bet if we knocked on her door, she would have warm chocolate cake ready.

每次我去她家，她好像总有巧克力蛋糕，配牛奶超级好吃，配冰淇淋也特别美味。

She always seems to have chocolate cake whenever I visit, and it's super tasty with milk and yummy delicious with ice cream.

也许我们经过她家的时候可以挥挥手，万一她正好在窗户边看呢。

Maybe we can wave at her house as we pass by just in case she is looking out the window.

当伯尼斯看到远处的公园时，她开始加快步伐，跑步鞋在人行道上发出嗒嗒的声音。

Then as Bernice saw the park in the distance, she started to pick up her pace, her running sneakers making tapping noises on the sidewalk.

你不需要跑那么快，她妈妈说。

You don't need to go fast, her mother said.

有时候，想跑得更好，最好的方法就是慢慢跑。

Sometimes the best way to become a better runner is to go slow.

伯尼斯稍微放慢了速度，但她还是跑在前面。

Bernice slowed down a bit, but she still stayed in front.

我觉得慢慢跑比快跑难多了。

I think going slow is much harder than going fast.

我一跑起来，就想飞快地冲。

When I start running, I just want to zoom.

我和博比在田径场上就是这样，而且我还是经常赢。

That's what Bobby and I do at track, and I still win a lot.

虽然最近有些男孩跑得快了，但坚持不了多久。

Though some of the boys have been faster lately, but not for long.

我知道我很快又能跑得最快了。

I know I will run the fastest again soon.

他们经过伊森奶奶的房子，挥手打了个招呼。

They passed Ethan's grandmother's house and waved.

伯尼斯觉得她好像看到奶奶也挥手回应了，但她不太确定，因为她跑得太快了。

Bernice thought she saw her waving back, but she wasn't sure because she was running so super fast.

妈妈熊说：“公园入口就在那儿。”

There is the entrance to the park, Mama Bear said.

跑步的路径就在前面。

The path to run on is just ahead.

我知道，妈妈，而且我现在不觉得外面凉了。

I know, Mama, and I don't find it cool outside anymore.

我觉得可能是温度变了，因为我开始觉得热了，这有时候在我跑得很快或者游泳或者打冰球的时候会发生，但这次我跑得这么慢，居然也热了。

I think it might have changed temperature because I'm starting to feel warm, which sometimes happens when I run really fast or swim or when I played hockey, but not when I go this slow.

我觉得是你自己在让自己暖和起来。

I think you're warming yourself up.

我也这么觉得。

I think so.

也许我的腿确实在使劲，即使我们跑得不是很快。

Maybe my legs are working sorta hard even if we aren't going very fast.

他们沿着小路继续往公园深处走去。

They followed the path farther into the park.

伯尼斯以前经常来这里跑步，但和妈妈一起跑感觉不一样。

Bernice had run there lots of times before, but running with mama was different.

妈妈保持同样的速度，而伯尼斯有时会稍微跑快一点，然后意识到后又慢下来。

Mama kept the same pace while Bernice sometimes moved a little ahead then slowed down again when she realized she was doing it.

妈妈，我们整个路程都要跑这么慢吗？

Are we gonna run this slow the whole way, mama?

这是计划好的。

That was the plan.

如果我们想跑快一点呢？

What if we feel like going faster?

我们可以改天再跑快一点。

We can go faster another day.

我还是觉得，明明能跑快却跑慢，挺奇怪的。

I still think it's strange to run slow when you know you can run fast.

熊妈妈笑了。

Mama Bear laughed.

你还能跟我说话吗？

Can you still talk to me?

当然可以。

Of course.

我跑得比这快得多的时候也能说话。

I can talk when I run way faster than this too.

我大概什么速度都能说话。

I can probably talk at almost any speed.

至少我是这么觉得的。

At least I think so.

我跑步的时候不太说话，因为通常是在比赛，而且我一般都跑在前面，除了最近。

I don't talk much when I run because it's usually a race, and I am in the lead, except for lately.

他们继续跑着，运动鞋在跑道上发出嗒嗒的声响。

They kept going, their sneakers tapping along the path.

伯尼斯跟妈妈讲起前几天在公园附近看到的一只鸟，然后又说起鲍比在学校说的某件事，正要开始解释为什么她觉得跑步的路径上应该多设几个饮水处，这时路开始往上坡了。

Bernice told Mama about a bird she had seen near the park the other day, then about something Bobby had said at school and was just starting to explain why she thought running paths should have water fountains in more places when the path began to rise.

哦，是个坡，伯尼斯说。

Oh, a hill, Bernice said.

是的。

Yes.

一个坡。

A hill.

坡不算大，但很长，伯尼斯能看到前面的路一直向上延伸。

It wasn't a huge hill, but it was long enough that Bernice could see the path climbing ahead of them.

我觉得我们应该跑上去。

I think we should run up it.

我们正在跑上坡。

We are running up it.

我是说跑得更快。

I mean faster.

熊妈妈看了她一眼。

Mama Bear looked over at her.

我以为我们是在轻松跑。

I thought we were having an easy run.

是的。

We are.

我只是想轻松地跑上坡，但稍微快一点。

I'm just going to run easily up the hill a little faster.

妈妈还没来得及回答，伯尼斯就开始加速了。

Before Mama could answer, Bernice started moving faster.

刚开始一小段路，还挺轻松的。

For the first little bit, it was easy.

伯尼斯的脚移动得很快，她拉着头。

Bernice's feet moved quickly, and she pulled the head.

她回头看了一眼，看到妈妈仍然以几乎和之前一样的速度跑着。

She looked back once and saw Mama still running at almost exactly the same speed as before.

从山脚看，这座山似乎很容易爬，但伯尼斯开始觉得它比看起来要长。

The hill had looked pretty easy from the bottom, but Bernice was starting to think it was longer than it looked.

她稍微放慢了速度，然后又慢了一点，而熊妈妈在她身后以稳定的步伐继续跑着。

She slowed a little, then a little more, while Mama Bear kept running at the same steady pace behind her.

过了一会儿，妈妈超过了她。

A few moments later, mama passed her.

伯尼斯盯着她经过。

Bernice stared at her as she went by.

嘿。

Hey.

这不公平。

That's not fair.

妈妈一直跑到山顶，然后转过身来等着伯尼斯跑完最后一段路。

Mama kept running until she reached the top, then turned around and waited while Bernice finished the last little bit.

伯尼斯说：“你骗我。”

You tricked me, Bernice said.

熊妈妈笑了。

Mama Bear laughed.

我怎么骗你了？

How did I trick you?

你跑得很慢，但不知怎么的，你比我更快到了这里。

You were running slow, but somehow you got here faster.

我只是保持同样的速度跑而已。

I just kept running the same speed.

伯尼斯回头看了看山下。

Bernice looked back down the hill.

我觉得我得去调查一下这件事。

I think I need to investigate that.

我觉得我们可以边跑边调查。

I think we can investigate while we keep running.

好吧，但下次我要试着起步慢一点。

Okay, but next time I'm going to try starting slower.

听起来是个不错的实验。

That sounds like a good experiment.

伯尼斯又跟上妈妈，她们继续沿着小路跑。

Bernice fell into step beside Mama again, and they continued along the path.

她们绕着公园又跑了几圈，伯尼斯努力不让自己冲得太快，即使有其他跑者超过她们。

They ran around the park a few more times, and Bernice tried very hard not to zoom ahead even when other runners passed them.

然后她们就回家了。

Then they headed for home.

爸爸，我们回来了，我觉得我从伊森家一路都能闻到香喷喷的味道，而且我觉得那不是巧克力蛋糕。

Papa, we are home, and I think I could smell something yummy delicious all the way from Ethan's house, and I don't think it was chocolate cake.

闻起来像是香甜的蜂蜜蛋糕，伯尼斯边说边进门，迅速脱下运动鞋。

It smells like yummy honey cakes, Bernice said as she came in and quickly took off her sneakers.

伯尼斯，你全身都是汗。

Bernice, you are all sweaty.

跑得开心吗？

Did you have a good run?

跑得不错，爸爸，这次我让妈妈赢了，这样我们可以试试她说的慢跑主意。

We did, Papa, and I let mama win this time so that we could try this slow running idea she has.

其实比我想象的要难。

It was actually harder than I thought.

我是说，谁会想到慢跑居然这么累呢？

I mean, who would think that running slow was actually hard and stuff?

我可能会再试试。

I might try it again.

也许这样能帮我赢过那些最近在田径和体育课上老是赢我的新来的男孩。

Maybe it will help me win races against these new boys who have been winning lately when we go out for track and gym.

我甚至可能能教教博比，然后我们俩都能赢，虽然我觉得他不太愿意试。

I might even be able to teach Bobby, and we can both win, though I don't think he will want to try.

他做什么都特别快。

He does everything super fast.

他还没有我那么有耐心。

He doesn't have my patience yet.

她表现得很好，熊妈妈说着，端起一杯咖啡，又帮忙把几块蜂蜜蛋糕放到盘子里给伯尼斯。

She did very well, Mama Bear said as she grabbed a cup of coffee and helped put some honey cakes on a plate for Bernice.

这些蜂蜜蛋糕看起来真好吃。

These honey cakes look yummy.

爸爸，它们看起来美味极了。

They look yummy delicious, Papa.

我得赶紧吃，免得肚子开始咕咕叫，那可不好，因为声音太响，像打雷一样，会吓到库奇，说不定还会把附近所有的猫都吓跑。

I better eat fast before my stomach starts gurgling, which we wouldn't want because it would scare Cookie and maybe scare all the cats in the neighborhood because it's so loud and sounds like thunder.

不用着急，小熊，妈妈说。

There's no need to rush, little bear, mama said.

慢慢吃也是个好主意。

Eating slowly is a good idea too.

伯尼斯看了看妈妈，又看了看蜂蜜蛋糕。

Bernice looked at mama, then at the honey cakes.

我觉得今天慢跑一次就够了。

I think slow running might be enough slow for one day.

我们的故事就讲到这里了。

And that is the end of our story.

晚安。

Good night.

睡个好觉。

Sleep Tight.
