伯妮斯今年必须学法语 🐻（Encore Bernice）

朋友们，大家好，欢迎收听《安睡故事》。

Hello, friends, and welcome to Sleep Tight Stories.

伯尼斯正和鲍比、格特鲁德待在一起，因为他们刚从夏令营回来。

Bernice is spending time with Bobby and Gertrude now that they have come back from camp.

但是天气太热了，所以他们决定比原计划早点回家。

But the day is very hot, so they all decide to go home earlier than planned.

熊爸爸做了柠檬水，并告诉伯尼斯他有个激动人心的消息要告诉她。

Papa Bear makes lemonade and tells Bernice he has some exciting news to share with her.

伯尼斯今年要学法语了。

Bernice has to take French this year.

伯尼斯骑了一小段自行车，从他们小房子的后门进来，踢掉运动鞋，直奔厨房的水槽。

Bernice came in through the back door of their small house after a short bike ride, kicked off her sneakers, and headed straight for the kitchen sink.

她渴极了。

She was super thirsty.

熊爸爸从他的办公室走了出来。

Papa Bear came out of his office.

你比我预想的回来得早，小熊。

You're home earlier than I expected, little bear.

一切都还好吗？

Everything okay?

伯尼斯咕咚咕咚地喝完了整杯水。

Bernice finished her glass of water with a big gulp, gulp, gulp.

她擦了擦额头，还有点喘不过气来。

She wiped her forehead, still a little out of breath.

她说：“爸爸，我知道我看起来像刚游完泳，浑身湿透了，但这可不是水。”

Papa, she said, I know I look like I've been swimming because I'm all wet, but it's not water.

这是汗。

It's sweat.

外面实在太热了。

It is so hot outside.

博比说这天气可能跟太阳表面一样热。

Bobby says it's probably as hot as the surface of the sun.

他有时候是爱夸张，不过说实话，这次还真觉得挺像的。

Sometimes he exaggerates, but honestly, this time it feels really true.

熊爸爸笑了笑。

Papa Bear chuckled.

对。

Yes.

最近确实很热。

It's really hot these days.

我以为你只是去波比家玩，顺便冲冲洒水器凉快一下呢。

I thought you were just going to Bobby's to play and run through the sprinkler to keep cool.

伯妮丝说：“那个，爸爸……”

Well, Papa, Bernice said.

波比拿洒水器做他的最新实验，我觉得他把它弄坏了，或者至少让它变得怪怪的。

Bobby used the sprinkler for his latest experiment, and I think he broke it, or at least made it do something weird.

他想试试那个洒水器能不能带动他做的小玩具，就是用乐高零件和配件拼出来的东西。

He wanted to see if it could power a toy he made, Something with Lego pieces and spare parts.

那个装置有个水轮，原本打算让洒水器推着它在院子里转。

It had this water wheel thing and the sprinkler was supposed to push it around the yard.

我觉得应该是出了点故障。

I think there was a, malfunction.

她又快速喝了一口水。

She took another quick sip of water.

结果呢，伯妮丝说，鲍比、格特鲁德和我去骑自行车了。

So instead, Bobby, Gertrude, I went for a bike ride.

我把背包水壶里的水都喝光了，还是觉得不够解渴。

I drank all the water from my backpack bottle and still wanted more.

格特鲁德说天气太热，不适合骑车，所以我们决定早点回家。

Gertrude said it might be too hot for bikes, so we decided to come home early.

熊爸爸点了点头。

Ah, Papa Bear nodded.

像这周这么热的天气，最好选在早晚玩，或者至少在太阳最猛的时候歇一歇。

When it's as hot as it's been this week, it's best to play earlier or later in the day, or at least take it easy when the sun is strongest.

爸爸，我不记得去年夏天有这么热。

I don't remember it being this hot last summer, papa.

不，熊爸爸说。

No, papa bear said.

我今天查了一下，我觉得这可能是史上最热的一次。

I checked today, and I think it might be the hottest it's ever been.

我像你这么大的时候，我们还没有空调。

When I was your age, we didn't have air conditioners.

那时候空气很凉快，只要开窗就很舒服。

The air was cool enough that you could just open a window and be comfortable.

那大概是史前时代吧，爸爸？

That was probably prehistoric times, right, papa?

伯尼斯开玩笑说。

Bernice teased.

因为你和妈妈都超级老了。

Because you and mama are super old.

熊爸爸轻声笑了。

Papa Bear chuckled.

开这种玩笑，我都不确定要不要给你做新鲜柠檬水了。

After a joke like that, I'm not sure if I should make you any fresh lemonade.

你知道我只是开玩笑的，伯尼斯笑着说，我很想喝你做的柠檬水。

You know I'm just joking, Bernice grinned, and I would love some of your lemonade.

超级好喝，美味极了。

It's super yummy delicious.

好吧，熊爸爸笑着说。

Alright, papa bear said with a smile.

你不如先用冷水拍拍手和脸，然后坐下来吧？

Why don't you splash your hands and face with some cold water, then have a seat?

我想听听你今天过得怎么样，而且我有大消息要告诉你。

I'd like to hear all about your day, and I have some big news to share with you.

爸爸，我最喜欢听大消息了，特别是如果跟饼干、冰淇淋、科学发现、妈妈赢了比赛，或者我的画被现代艺术博物馆收藏有关的话。

I love big news, Papa, especially if it involves cookies, ice cream, a science discovery, mama winning a race, or my painting being accepted into the Museum of Modern Art.

你先说，熊爸爸一边说，一边拿出柠檬和一把水壶。

You start, papa bear said, pulling out lemons and a pitcher.

好的。

Okay.

嗯，鲍比在科学营玩得很开心，我觉得他们给了他一个奖带，因为他的发明最棒。

Well, Bobby had a lot of fun at science camp, and I think they gave him a ribbon for having the best invention.

我还觉得他因为没把科学搞成灾难而得了奖，考虑到他的名声，这挺了不起的。

I also think he got an award for not causing a science catastrophe, which is pretty amazing considering his reputation.

伯尼斯咧嘴笑了。

Bernice grinned.

这个夏天我很少见到格特鲁德，所以能再和她一起玩真的很开心。

I haven't seen Gertrude much this summer, so it was fun to hang out with her again.

她喜欢夏令营，但她说她想家和她的朋友们。

She liked camp, but she said she missed home and her friends.

我想这也是成长的一部分吧。

I guess that's part of growing up.

伯尼斯靠在柜台上，身体前倾。

Bernice leaned forward on the counter.

哦，鲍比的妈妈给了我们水、果汁，甚至还有一些西瓜。

Oh, Bobby's mom gave us water, juice, and even some watermelon.

西瓜太好吃了。

Watermelon is so yummy.

我一个人就能吃掉一整个。

I could eat a whole one all by myself.

鲍比说这周早些时候他确实这么干了。

Bobby said he actually did earlier this week.

熊爸爸递给伯尼斯一杯高高的柠檬水，然后在桌边坐下。

Papa Bear handed Bernice a tall glass of lemonade and sat down at the table.

那么，伯尼斯急切地问，爸爸，有什么大新闻？

So, Bernice asked eagerly, what's the big news, papa?

是超级大，还是巨大，还是超大巨无霸？

Is it super big or huge or giganormous?

熊爸爸带着一点微笑说，我觉得这消息挺大的。

Well, papa bear said with a little smile, I think it's pretty big.

我们拿到了你们明年的课程表，你会有一门全新的科目，是你以前从没学过的。

We got your class list for next year, and you'll have a brand new subject, one you've never taken before.

我觉得会特别有趣。

I think it's going to be really fun.

伯妮丝的眼睛睁大了。

Bernice's eyes widened.

上课？

Class?

上学？

School?

这么快就要开学了，爸爸？

Already, papa?

感觉夏天才刚开始呢，现在你告诉我得回去上学了？

It feels like summer just started, and now you're telling me I have to go back?

她摇了摇头。

She shook her head.

这好像不太公平吧。

That doesn't seem fair.

我是说，我其实挺喜欢学校的，也挺想念老师，但这个夏天我想做的事还没做完呢。

I mean, I love school and I miss my teachers, but I haven't finished everything I wanted to do this summer.

我答应过伊森要把他借给我的书读完，而且我才吃了十次冰淇淋而已。

I promised Ethan I'd read the books he lent me, and I've only had ice cream like 10 times.

我还没试过那个新口味呢，月光角兽。

I still haven't tried that new flavor, moonicorn.

鲍比说它比哇哇牛还好吃。

Bobby says it's even tastier than wowie cowie.

还有科学实验什么的，不过没关系啦，小熊，熊爸爸轻声打断道。

And then there's science experiments and it's okay, little bear, Papa Bear interrupted gently.

夏天总是过得特别快。

Summer always feels short.

你不需要把所有事情都做完。

You don't have to do everything.

然后他笑着凑近说，也许我能说服妈妈今晚带你去吃冰淇淋，这样你终于可以尝尝那个月独角兽口味了。

And maybe, he leaned in with a grin, maybe I can convince mama to go for ice cream tonight so you can finally try that moonicorn flavor.

伯尼斯眼睛一亮。

Bernice brightened.

真的吗？

Really?

真的吗？

Really?

现在你明年的新科目是法语。

Now your new subject for next year is French.

伯尼斯眨了眨眼睛。

Bernice blinked.

法语，爸爸？

French, papa?

一门全新的语言？

A whole new language?

这简直就像从零开始一样。

That's like starting over from scratch.

我已经会科学、数学和英语了，但法语呢？

I already know science and math and English, but French?

万一我学不会怎么办？

What if I can't learn it?

为什么是法语呢？

And why French?

为什么不学西班牙语或者中文之类的？

Why not Spanish or Chinese or something?

别担心，小宝贝。

Don't worry, little bear.

学习全新的东西其实挺让人兴奋的。

Learning something brand new can be exciting.

即便是现在，我也很喜欢尝试新事物。

Even now, I love trying new things.

而且你是个很棒的学生。

And you're a great student.

你会学得很好的。

You'll do just fine.

再说了，法语和英语有些相似之处，所以你学起来会比想象中快。

Besides, French has some similarities to English, so you'll pick it up faster than you think.

至于其他语言嘛，你们学校只提供法语课。

And as for other languages, well, your school only offers French.

伯尼斯歪了歪头。

Bernice tilted her head.

爸爸，你上学时学过法语吗？

Did you study French in school, Papa?

学过，爸爸熊点了点头，而且大学时也一直在学。

I did, papa bear nodded, and even when I was in university.

妈妈也学过。

Mama did too.

伯妮丝调皮地咧嘴一笑。

Bernice grinned mischievously.

那好吧。

Okay then.

说法语给我听听。

Say something in French.

熊爸爸坐直了身子，清了清嗓子，说道：'你刚才说你是个土豆。'

Papa Bear sat up straighter, cleared his throat, and declared, You just said you're a potato.

小熊噗噗笑了。

Puppabear chuckled.

对。

Yes.

而这正是学习任何语言时首先要明白的重要一点。

And that's the first important thing to learn in any language.

伯妮丝咯咯地笑了起来。

Bernice giggled.

要是我的法语老师问我用法语能说什么，我肯定直接告诉她我是个土豆。

If my French teacher asks what I can say in French, I'm totally gonna tell her I'm a potato.

伯妮丝又喝了一大口柠檬水，身子往后靠在椅背上。

Bernice took another long sip of her lemonade and leaned back in her chair.

那么，爸爸，法语里第二重要的要学什么呢？

So, Papa, what's the second most important thing to learn in French?

你已经教过我怎么说‘我是个土豆’了。

You already taught me to say I'm a potato.

熊爸爸假装认真思考了一下。

Papa Bear pretended to think deeply.

也许是问能不能要饼干？

Maybe how to ask for cookies?

伯妮丝的眼睛亮了起来。

Bernice's eyes lit up.

这很重要。

That's very important.

该怎么说呢？

How do you say it?

熊爸爸慢悠悠地说。

Papa Bear said slowly.

伯妮斯跟着念了一遍，口音虽然不太稳，但特别积极。

Bernice repeated it, her accent wobbly but enthusiastic.

"请给我一些饼干。"

Je vous dre des bisquits, please.

她咧嘴一笑。

She grinned.

搞定。

There.

现在我在法国也能混得下去了。

Now I can survive in France.

熊爸爸轻笑了一声。

Papa Bear chuckled.

对。

Yes.

只要你只吃土豆和饼干，在法国完全没问题。

You'd be perfectly fine as long as you only needed potatoes and cookies.

两人相视一笑，那一刻，白天的炎热似乎也没那么难熬了。

They both laughed, and for a moment, the heat of the day didn't seem so bad.

熊爸爸看了看钟。

Papa Bear glanced at the clock.

好了，小熊，我得回办公室待一会儿，然后再开始做晚饭。

Well, little bear, I'd better get back to my office for a bit before I start dinner.

我还有最后一封邮件要处理。

I need to finish one last email.

伯妮丝点了点头。

Bernice nodded.

好的，爸爸。

Okay, papa.

我想我可以开始读伊桑借给我的另一本书了。

I think I'll get started on another of the books Ethan lent me.

我本来打算把《秘密洞穴探险》留到下雨天再看，不过今天读也挺好。

I've been saving the secret cave adventure for a rainy day, but today will be good too.

“听起来很不错，”熊爸爸一边说着，一边站起来，轻轻捏了捏她的肩膀。

That sounds perfect, Papa Bear said, standing and giving her shoulder a gentle squeeze.

找个凉快的地方，再倒一大杯水喝。

Find yourself a cool spot and maybe a tall glass of water.

如果你听到锅碗瓢盆叮叮当当的响声，那就说明快开饭了。

And if you hear pots and pans clanging, that means dinner's getting close.

伯尼斯端着柠檬水走进客厅，脸上挂着微笑，已经开始想象新书的第一页了。

Bernice smiled as she carried her lemonade into the living room, already imagining the first page of her new book.

伊桑那本书已经读了一大半，晚饭又吃了豆角沙拉，伯尼斯随后便上楼准备开始睡前的例行流程了。

After getting more than halfway through Ethan's book and enjoying a bean salad for dinner, Bernice went upstairs to begin her bedtime routine.

她洗了个凉快的澡，刷了牙，做了些拉伸运动，然后把为她准备好的干净衣服收好。

She took a cool bath, brushed her teeth, did some stretches, and put away the clean clothes that had been left for her.

接着，她把睡前陪伴的小物件仔细摆放整齐，钻进被窝喊道：该睡觉啦，爸爸。

Then, after carefully arranging her bedtime friends just so, she crawled under the covers and called out, it's that time, papa.

那是什么时候呀，小熊？

And what time is that, little bear?

熊爸爸从厨房回应道。

Papa Bear called back from the kitchen.

该举行打哈欠奥运会了，我觉得我能拿金牌。

It's time for the Yawning Olympics, and I think I'm going to win gold.

过了一会儿，整栋房子轻轻震动了一下，熊爸爸走上了楼梯。

A moment later, the whole house gave a gentle rumble as Papa Bear climbed the stairs.

他探头看了看伯妮丝的房间，轻声问道：'你还醒着吗？'

He peeked into Bernice's room and whispered, Are you still awake?

醒着呢，爸爸，伯妮丝说。

Yes, Papa, Bernice said.

我刚才在想那门新的法语课，现在我觉得自己好像能接受了。

I was just thinking about this new French class, and I think maybe I'm okay with it now.

哦，听到你这么说真好。

Oh, That's good to hear.

是什么让你改变了想法？

What changed your mind?

嗯，伯妮丝说着，往被子里缩了缩。

Well, Bernice said, wiggling deeper into her covers.

我记得你说过，从头开始做一件事挺有意思的。

I remembered how you said it's fun to start something from the very beginning.

我想既然你和妈妈都能学法语，那我应该也可以吧。

And I guess if you and mama could learn French, maybe I can too.

而且鲍比说他会帮我练习，虽然他只会说“牛角包”那个词。

Plus, Bobby says he'll help me practice, even though he only knows how to say croissant.

熊爸爸笑了起来。

Papa Bear chuckled.

我相信你们俩会学到更多。

I'm sure you'll both learn more than that.

而且你还能好好享受剩下的夏天。

And you can still enjoy the rest of summer.

骑车、热天游泳、读伊森的书，同时为新学年做准备。

Bike rides, swimming on hot days, reading Ethan's books while you get ready for the new school year.

对，伯尼斯打着哈欠说。

Yeah, Bernice said with a yawn.

我还是有时间玩的。

I'll still have time for fun.

我觉得那听起来很棒，熊爸爸也打了个长长的哈欠说。

I think that sounds wonderful, Papa Bear said with his own long, yawn.

嘿，我觉得你打哈欠赢了，爸爸。

Hey, I think you're winning the yawning race, Papa.

这次可能是我赢了，他说。

I might be this time, he said.

今晚想听个短篇故事，还是直接睡觉？

Would you like a short story tonight or just go straight to sleep?

你能给我讲一个超级、超级、超级短的故事吗？

Could you tell me a super, super, super short one?

也许是关于法国的，或者跟法国有关的？

Maybe one about French or with French?

伯妮丝强忍着又一个哈欠问道。

Bernice asked, stifling another yawn.

我可以试试。

I can try.

你舒服吗？

Are you comfy?

是的，爸爸。

Yes, papa.

那Twiggle Wolfie和Madelyn呢？

And how about Twiggle Wolfie and Madelyn?

它们也舒服吗？

Are they comfy too?

我觉得是的。

I think they are.

熊爸爸补充说，Cookie今晚好像被花园里的那些小鸟分散了注意力。

Cookie seems a bit distracted by the birds in the garden this evening, papa bear added.

但我肯定她很快就会悄悄溜进来，蜷成一团陪着你。

But I'm sure she'll sneak in and curl up with you soon.

对。

Yeah.

她很喜欢看那些小鸟。

She loves watching those birds.

熊爸爸笑了。

Papa bear smiled.

那好吧。

Alright then.

来，抱一下亲一下，我给你讲个小故事。

Give me a hug and a kiss, and I'll tell you a short story.

说不定里面还会有一两个法语词呢。

Maybe even with one or two French words in it.

我爱你，爸爸。

I love you, papa.

我也爱你，小熊。

I love you too, little bear.

从前，在一个充满魔法和欢乐的世界里，住着一只勇敢的小熊，名字叫布布。

Once upon a time in a world full of magic and fun, there lived a brave little bear named Boo-boo.

她住在神秘森林边缘的一座大城堡里。森林里有独角兽、仙子、小矮人，还有各种各样的昆虫、小鸟和动物。

She lived in a large castle at the edge of a mystical forest, And in this forest, there were unicorns, fairies, gnomes, and all manner of insects, birds, and animals.

那真是一个美好的地方。

It was a wonderful place.

可是今天早上，布布把蜂蜜蛋糕在盘子里拨来拨去，就是不吃。这很奇怪，因为她平日里最喜欢吃蜂蜜蛋糕了。

But this morning, Boo-boo was pushing honey cakes around her plate instead of eating them, which was strange because honey cakes were her absolute favorite.

好吧，除了巧克力除外。

Well, except for maybe chocolate.

你心里有事吧，Boo-boo？

Something's bothering you, isn't it, Boo-boo?

老城堡的厨师问道，手里端着茶杯，在她对面坐下。

Asked the old castle cook, settling into the chair across from her with a cup of tea.

Boo-boo大大地叹了口气，耳朵都耷拉下来了。

Boo-boo sighed so big her ears drooped.

今天是神秘沟通课的第一天。

Today's the first day of mystical communications class.

Willow教授要教我们森林语，就是和王国里每一个神奇生物对话的语言。

Professor Willow is going to teach us forest speak, the language for talking to every magical creature in the kingdom.

听起来很棒，厨师说，可你看起来并不兴奋。

That sounds wonderful, the cook said, but you don't look excited.

因为其他人都已经懂一点了，Boo-boo嘟囔道。

That's because everyone else already knows some, Boo-boo mumbled.

蓝铃从小就跟花园精灵们哼歌交流，而凯凯呢，龙族基本上发明了一半的火系词汇。

Blue Bell's been humming with the garden sprites since she was tiny, And Kai-kai, well, dragons basically invented half the fire words.

可我呢？

But me?

我什么都不会。

I don't know a thing.

万一我很差劲怎么办？

What if I'm terrible?

厨师还没来得及回答，窗户上就传来了轻轻的敲击声。

Before the cook could answer, there was a tap tap tap at the window.

凯凯的鼻子露了出来，脸色看起来有点发绿。

Kai-kai's snout appeared looking slightly green.

我觉得我要吐了，他呻吟道。

I think I'm going to be sick, he groaned.

我因为紧张，吃了整整三棵巧克力树。

I ate three whole chocolate trees because I was nervous.

三棵树？

Three trees?

布布咯咯地笑了。

Boo-boo giggled.

那就像我吃掉一整个面包店一样。

That's like me eating an entire bakery.

蓝铃花小跑过来，她的角在阳光下闪闪发光。

Bluebell trotted up, her horn catching the light.

我们都很紧张。

We're all nervous.

我整个早上都在练习《四季之歌》，但总是把冬天的音符和夏天的搞混。

I've been practicing the Song of Seasons all morning, but I keep mixing up the winter notes with summer.

花园里的小精灵们都糊涂了。

The garden pixies are so confused.

他们同时戴着连指手套和太阳帽。

They're wearing mittens and sun hats at the same time.

她压低了声音。

She lowered her voice.

我们是一起的，对吧？

We're in this together, right?

一个小时后，他们来到了一间与众不同的教室。

An hour later, they were in a classroom like no other.

墙上爬满了会低语的藤蔓，轻轻摇曳，仿佛在倾听；天花板上挂着水晶风铃，微风拂过时发出轻柔的声响。

The walls were covered in whispering vines that swayed as if they were listening, and crystal chimes hung from the ceiling, singing soft notes when the breeze touched them.

感觉整个房间都在呼吸着音乐。

It felt like the whole room was breathing music.

柳教授站在前面，是一位高大的树精，头发是叶子，会随着心情变换颜色。

Professor Willow stood at the front, a tall tree spirit with leaves for hair that shifted colors with her mood.

此刻，那些叶子呈现出平静而温暖的绿色。

Right now, they were a calm, welcoming green.

“欢迎，年轻的沟通者们，”她的声音像风穿过树枝般轻柔。

Welcome, young communicators, she said in a voice like wind through branches.

森林语不仅仅是语言。

Forest speak is more than words.

它融合了声音、手势、感觉和意图，就像一幅织锦一样交织在一起。

It's sounds, gestures, feelings, and intentions, all woven together like a tapestry.

她教他们一个基本的问候：轻柔的咔哒声，优雅的挥手，还有低沉温暖的问候。意思是：你好，朋友，我带着和平而来。

She showed them a basic greeting, soft clicks, a graceful wave, and a low warm This means, hello, friend, I come in peace.

全班一起尝试，结果一片混乱。

The class tried it together, and chaos followed.

凯凯的咔哒声像篝火一样噼啪作响，还撞倒了两只风铃。

Kai-kai's clicks crackled like a campfire and knocked over two chimes.

蓝铃的声音太高了，藤蔓都颤抖起来，好像被挠痒痒一样。

Blue Bell's was so high pitched that vines shivered like they were being tickled.

布布的咔哒声听起来像打嗝，她的挥手像在拍蚊子，她的问候变成了一声尖叫。

Boo-boo's clicks sounded like hiccups, her wave like swatting mosquitoes, and her came out as a squeak.

哎呀，柳树教授笑了。

Oh my, Professor Willow laughed.

我觉得我们刚才跟他们说的是：敌人，你们好。

I think we just told them, greetings, enemies.

我们是来捣乱的。

We come in chaos.

接下来的一个小时，他们练习了问候语、提问和礼貌用语，比如：可以借过你的地盘吗？

For the next hour, they practiced greetings, questions, and polite phrases like, may I pass through your territory?

还有：谢谢分享你的智慧。

And thank you for sharing your wisdom.

有些学生学得很快。

Some students picked it up quickly.

一个精灵男孩说起森林语来就像说了一辈子似的，一个地精女孩的大地手势也做得完美无缺。

An elf boy sounded like he'd been speaking forest speak all his life, and a gnome girl's earth gestures were perfect.

但布布却越来越沮丧。

But Boo-boo, she only grew more frustrated.

她的咔哒声还是像打嗝，手势笨拙，每次发出的声音都不对劲。

Her clicks stayed hiccuppy, her gestures clumsy, and every squeaked out wrong.

到了休息时间，她瘫靠在凯凯温暖的身侧。

By break time, she slumped against Kai-kai's warm side.

我听起来就像只打喷嚏的海象，她呻吟道。

I sound like a walrus sneezing, she moaned.

这时有个小小的声音插话进来。

A tiny voice piped up.

嘿，上个月你可是帮过我表妹找到回家的路呢，对吧？

Hey, you helped my cousin find her way home last month, didn't you?

布布眨了眨眼。

Boo-boo blinked.

也许吧？

Maybe?

我确实帮一只小老鼠找到了她的洞穴。

I did help a little mouse find her burrow.

就是她，田鼠说道。

That's her, said the field mouse.

你试着说那句问候的时候，虽然发音不太到位，但我们都感觉得到，你是真心想说朋友、想表达和平。

When you tried that greeting, even though it didn't sound perfect, we could feel that you truly meant friend and peace.

大多数人只是学着把音发对，但你的话是放在心上去说的。

Most just try to get the sounds right, but you meant it in your heart.

一只蓝松鸦落在了布布的肩膀上。

A blue jay landed on Boo-boo's shoulder.

老鼠说得对。

The mouse is right.

你的森林语虽然说得磕磕绊绊，但你的心语非常真诚。

Your forest speak might be wobbly, but your heart speak is perfect.

一眨眼，她身边就围了一圈动物——刺猬、兔子，连一只平时不太搭理人的脾气不太好的獾也过来了。

Before she knew it, she was surrounded hedgehog, rabbits, even a grumpy badger who hardly ever said hello.

它们都用自己家里的语言叽叽喳喳地讲着，可布布不知怎么，就是能听懂这些话背后那份心情。

They were all chattering in their own languages, and somehow Boo-boo understood the feeling behind their words.

你知道有趣的是什么吗？

You know what's funny?

卢贝尔低声说。

Lubell whispered.

他们理解你比理解任何人都要深。

They understand you better than they understand anyone else.

上课重新开始时，威洛教授注意到了这群动物。

When class resumed, Professor Willow noticed the crowd.

她的叶子头发变成了满意的金色。

Her leaf hair turned a pleased golden shade.

布布，你愿意再试一次那个问候吗？

Boo-boo, would you mind trying the greeting again?

这次，完全不要去想发音。

This time, don't think about the sounds at all.

只要用心去表达。

Just mean it.

她的咔哒声还是有点打嗝，挥手还是笨拙，声音还是有点尖。

Her clicks were still hiccuppy, her wave still clumsy, her still squeaky.

但每只动物都回应了。

But every animal answered back.

藤蔓沙沙作响，风铃也完美地和谐共鸣。

The vines rustled, and the chimes sang along in perfect harmony.

太神奇了，威洛教授轻声说道。

Remarkable, Professor Willow said softly.

森林语并不追求完美。

Forest speak isn't about perfection.

关键在于真正的连接。

It's about true connection.

剩下的多练练自然就来了。

The rest will come with practice.

凯凯走在回家的路上，身后跟着一大群动物，他摇了摇头。

Walking home with a parade of animals behind them, Kai-kai shook his head.

也就你能把事儿搞砸，还能当上老师的心头好。

Only you could mess up and still become the teacher's favorite.

布波慢慢说：“我没有搞砸。”

I didn't mess up, Boo-boo said slowly.

我有吗？

Did I?

蓝铃笑着说：“没有。”

No, Blue Bell smiled.

你让我们大家都明白了，发自内心交流比说得完美更有用。

You showed us all that talking from the heart works better than talking perfectly.

布波这才意识到，也许她一直都在说森林语。

And Boo-boo realized maybe she'd been speaking forest speak all along.

只是她一直不知道原来这种话还有名字。

She just hadn't known it had a name.

说完后，熊爸爸在伯尼丝额头上亲了一下，给她掖好毯子，关上灯，小声说：“我爱你，小熊。”

And with that, Papa Bear kissed Bernice on the forehead, adjusted her blanket, turned off her lamp and quietly whispered, I love you little bear.
