动物王国。

Animal Jam.

从前，在一个阳光明媚的下午，一位音乐家带着他的吉他走进了森林。

Once upon a time on a nice sunny afternoon, a musician brought his guitar into the forest.

他叫迪伦，他喜欢在树林里、鸟鸣声中以及昆虫欢快的嗡嗡声里弹奏。

His name was Dylan, and he loved to play among the trees and the birdsong and the happy buzz of the insects.

他会沿着小路徒步，直到找到一块阳光充足的岩石，然后让自己舒服地坐下，把吉他放在腿上。

He'd hike down a trail until he found a nice sunny rock, and then he'd make himself comfortable, guitar on his lap.

那是他享受宁静和放松的特别时光。

It was his special time for peace and a little relaxation.

今天你想听什么样的歌呢？

What kind of song are you in the mood for today?

他会这样问森林，然后仔细倾听。

He'd ask the forest, and then he'd listen closely.

如果风吹过，他就会弹一首轻快的曲子。

If the wind blew, then he'd play a breezy song.

如果天气阴沉下雨，他就会弹一些慢而忧伤的小调。

If it was overcast and rainy, he'd play something in a minor key, slow and sad.

当阳光明媚时，他会弹一些快节奏、活泼的曲子。

When the sun was shining bright, he'd play something fast and lively.

那天，阳光像一道金色的光柱，洒在这位快乐的歌手身上。

And that day, the sun beamed down on the cheerful singer in a golden ray.

“啊，那就来点欢快的吧，”迪伦说着，开始拨动琴弦。

Ah, something happy then, Dylan said, and then he began to strum.

他的手指在琴弦上轻快地跳动，音乐声响起，像那天一样阳光明媚。

His fingers bounced over the strings, and the music rang out, sunny as the day itself.

音乐在树林间回荡，沿着山谷滚落，又在巨石上翻涌。

It echoed through the trees and rolled down the ravines and billowed over boulders.

吉他声在森林里回荡，很快，迪伦发现自己吸引了一批听众。

The guitar rang through the forest, and soon enough, Dylan found that he had attracted an audience.

哇。

Wow.

“再弹一首吧，”一只大灰狼从树影中溜出来说道。

Play another one, said a great gray wolf slipping from the shadows of the trees.

我太喜欢这音乐了。

I love that music.

音乐家愣住了，最后一个音符还在空中回荡。

The musician froze, his last note still ringing in the open air.

他张了张嘴，却什么也没说出来。

His mouth opened to speak and didn't.

他就那样坐了一会儿，嘴唇微张，一脸震惊。

He just sat there for a moment, lips parted in stunned surprise.

怎么了？

What's the matter?

狼问道。

Asked the wolf.

你……你需要帮忙吗？

You, you need some help?

帮忙？

Help?

迪伦咽了口唾沫，问道。

Dylan asked, gulping.

那只狼毛茸茸的，体型巨大，嘴里满是月白色的尖牙。

The wolf was shaggy and monstrous, his mouth full of moon white fangs.

他要是想，一口就能把迪伦吞下去。

He could swallow Dylan in one bite if he wanted.

“嗯，是的，帮忙，”狼说。

Well, yeah, help, the wolf said.

我自己就是个不错的音乐家。

I'm a pretty good musician myself.

看起来你在这儿是为了给你的乐队招人。

Seems like you're out here recruiting for your band.

我一直想成为摇滚明星。

Well, I've always wanted to be a rock star.

在森林里你找不到比我更好的人了。

You won't find someone better than me anywhere in the forest.

而且我，我建议你别去找。

And I, I wouldn't suggest looking.

你懂我的意思吧？

You know what I mean?

他咧嘴一笑，露出满口尖牙，补充道。

He added with a toothy sneer.

迪伦的脑子飞速转动。

Dylan's mind whirled.

他根本不想要什么乐队，更不想跟一只吓人的巨狼组队，但他也明白，惹恼这只巨狼绝对不是什么好主意。

He didn't want a band, and he certainly didn't want one with a terrifying giant wolf, but he also realized upsetting that same giant wolf would be a very bad idea.

那当然没问题。

Well, sure.

你可以加入乐队，他最后说道，突然灵机一动。

You can join the band, he said finally, striking on an idea.

不过，当然得先试镜。

But you have to audition, of course.

哦，还要试镜？

Oh, an audition?

狼问道。

Asked the wolf.

好吧。

Alright.

我需要做什么？

What do I have to do?

嗯，我需要一个鼓手，迪伦说。

Well, what I need is a drummer, Dylan said.

你拿着这些鼓槌，然后开始敲打这些石头和木头。

You take these sticks here and and you start banging on all these rocks and logs.

你只管尽量大声、尽量久地敲。

You just go as loud and as long as you can.

如果你表现好，你就加入乐队了，伙计。

If you do a good job, you're in the band, baby.

狼嚎了一声，然后抓起了鼓槌。

The wolf howled, and he grabbed the sticks.

咱们来即兴演奏吧。

Let's jam.

他开始在岩石、原木和他自己毛茸茸的脚上敲打起来。

He began to drum on the rocks and logs and his own hairy feet.

虽然算不上什么音乐，但声音确实够响，迪伦正好借这个机会偷偷溜走了。

It wasn't particularly musical, but it was certainly loud, and Dylan was able to use it as a distraction to sneak away.

他穿过森林，把吉他紧紧抱在胸前，像个护着孩子的家长。

He ran through the forest, clutching his guitar to his chest like a protective parent.

他一直跑到听不见狼敲鼓的声音才停下来。

He didn't stop running until the sounds of the wolf drumming were lost in the distance.

他说道：“真是险啊。”

That was a close one, he said.

我还以为我得在烂乐队和挨揍之间选一个呢。

I thought I was gonna have to choose between having a bad band or beating a bad meal.

他找了个舒服的树桩坐下来，抖了抖身上的紧张劲儿。

He found a cozy stump and settled himself, shaking out his jitters.

很快，吉他重新回到他腿上，美妙的音乐在森林里飘荡。

Soon, his guitar was back in his lap, the sweet music drifting through the forest.

那是一种平静的调子，安宁又温柔，正好能安抚迪伦紧张的心情。

It was a placid tone, peaceful and gentle, to help calm Dylan's own frayed nerves.

可惜，这恰恰是熊最喜欢的音乐。

Unfortunately, it was the bears' favorite kind of music.

哦，嘿，你好呀，

Oh, hey there,

她说着，像个圆滚滚的棕色大石头一样从森林里翻了个跟头出来。

she said, somersaulting out of the forest like a burly brown boulder.

哦，我听到你在弹音乐。

Oh, I heard you playing music.

迪伦回答，简直不敢相信自己这个早晨。

Dylan replied, barely believing his morning.

先是狼，现在又来了他见过的最大的熊。

First, a wolf, and now the biggest bear he'd ever seen.

这只动物的爪子每个都有煎锅那么大，嘴巴能一口吞下一整只火腿。

The animal's paws were each as big as frying pans, and her mouth could swallow a ham whole.

熊说：“我一直想组个乐队。”

I've always wanted to be in a band, the bear said.

“我现在就能想象，全国巡演，在人群面前表演，我的名字在灯光下闪耀。”

I can see it now touring the country, performing for crowds, my name in lights.

她大幅度地比划着。

She motioned broadly.

“B e a r，熊。”

B e a r, bear.

迪伦说：“那确实是个梦想。”

That's a that's a dream alright, Dylan said.

其实，他更喜欢自己弹琴给朋友听，但他可不想对这位毛茸茸的巨兽说这些。

Personally, he liked playing music just for himself and his friends, but he wasn't about to say that to this furry giant.

“那我能加入你的乐队吗，还是说我会失望？”

So can I join your band, or am I going to be disappointed?

熊说着，揉了揉肚子。

The bear said, rubbing her belly.

记住，我失望的时候会饿。

Keep in mind, I get hungry when I'm disappointed.

迪伦咽了口唾沫。

Dylan gulped.

那你玩什么乐器？

Well, what do you play?

我玩狒狒，

I play the baboons,

她说。

she said.

狒狒？

The the baboons?

迪伦说。

Dylan said.

当然，狒狒。

Of of course, the baboons.

好吧，你得先试镜。

Well, you'll have to audition first.

当然。

Of course.

当然，熊说。

Of course, said the bear.

像真正的乐队一样试镜。

Auditioning like a real band.

我现在要出名了。

I'm making the big time now.

没错，迪伦说。

That's right, Dylan said.

所以转过身去，全力以赴吧。

So turn around and give it your best shot.

一定要又长又响，这样我才有足够的内容来评判你。

Make sure it's long and loud so I have plenty to judge you by.

好的。

Okay.

开始了，

Here we go,

熊说。

said the bear.

然后她吼了起来。

Then she bellowed.

迪伦拼命敲打，熊的低音轰鸣，像一场大地震充满了整个森林。

Dylan cracked away as the bear boomed her base, filling the forest like a girthy earthquake.

一跑开，迪伦就拼命冲刺，直到肺都要炸了，腿也烧得发烫。

As soon as he was away, Dylan sprinted until his lungs heaved and his legs burned.

他一直跑到完全听不见熊的声音，然后又多跑了一段路，以确保安全。

He sprinted until he couldn't hear the bear at all, and then he sprinted a little further just to be safe.

最后，迪伦摔在一根圆木上，喘着粗气，捂着腰侧的岔气。

Finally, Dylan fell on a log, panting for breath and clutching at a stitch in his side.

他确认吉他没事，摘掉几片叶子，然后坐下来休息。

He made sure his guitar was safe, pulling free a few leaves, and then sat back resting.

他考虑过今天到此为止，离开树林，但他太固执了。

He considered calling it a day and leaving the woods, but he was too stubborn.

多年来，他一直来这里演奏，从未和动物们有过任何麻烦。

For years, he had been coming and playing here, and he had never once had any trouble with the animals.

他不能因为一天不顺就放弃。

He couldn't let one bad day get to him.

他对自己说，我再弹一首歌吧。

I'll play a song once more through, he said to himself.

但这次，我要轻轻地弹。

But this time, I'll play it quietly.

他像对待玻璃一样小心翼翼地拿起吉他，手指轻轻划过琴弦，就像蜘蛛轻轻触碰一样。

He took his guitar up gently like it was made of glass and ran his fingers over the strings, barely a spider's touch.

哇。

Wow.

天哪。

Oh my gosh.

你们要组乐队吗？

Are you starting a band?

我能加入你们的乐队吗？

Can I be a part of your band?

我真的很想加入一个乐队。

I'd really like to be in a band.

你好。

Hello.

你好。

Hello.

一只狐狸从森林里蹦蹦跳跳地跑出来说。

Said a fox, prancing out of the forest.

我可是个了不起的音乐家。

I'm an amazing musician.

我自己都这么说。

All myself says so.

迪伦弹了一个刺耳的和弦，叹了口气。

Dylan struck a sour chord and groaned.

又来？

Again?

他心里想。

He thought.

那你觉得怎么样？

So what do you think?

你们还需要别的乐手吗，或者，比如说，主唱？

Do you need another player or, like, maybe a lead?

因为我不太确定。

Because I don't know.

我就是觉得，我可能能当主唱。

I just, I think I could be the lead.

我觉得我，就是，有这个潜力。

Like, I think I, like, have it in me.

你懂吗？

You know?

这也许就是我的命运什么的。

Like, it's, like, maybe my destiny or something.

你觉得呢？

Like, what do you think?

你觉得呢？

What do you think?

狐狸说着，尾巴轻轻摆动。

The fox said, tail twitching.

好吧，那音乐家说着，认命地接受了这一天。

Okay then, the musician said, resigned to his day.

那你演奏什么？

What do you play then?

我吹这些，嗯，哨子，或者有点像笛子的东西。

So I play these, like, whistles, or it's kind of like a flute thing.

就是那种哨笛，狐狸说着，掏出一根木管和一些草。

It's like whistle flute, said the fox, pulling out a wooden tube and some grass.

我吹得特别好，大家都喜欢。

I play it so well that, like, everyone loves it.

我以前经常吹给我父母听。

Like, I I used to play for my parents.

我是说，我会整天整夜地吹，下午大部分时间也在吹，就是吹口哨、吹笛子、吹口哨、吹笛子，来回换着来。

I mean, I'd play, like, all day and all night and, like, most of the afternoon too, just like whistle, whistle, flute, flute, whistle, flute.

然后他们就会说，嘿。

And they'd say, hey.

你能不能去别的地方吹口哨或者吹笛子？

Can you maybe whistle flute somewhere else?

我就会说，比如上台表演？

And I'd say, Like, on a stage?

他们说，对。

And they said, yes.

除了这儿，哪儿都行。

Anywhere but here.

所以我想找个乐队加入，因为他们真的很支持我吹口哨和吹笛子。

So I'm trying to find a band to join because they're just, like, so supportive of me and my whistling slash, like, fluting.

而且我知道我会成为乐队的主唱，大家都会喜欢的。

And I just know that I'm gonna be the lead in a band, and everyone is gonna love it.

好吗？

Okay?

好，迪伦说。

Okay, Dylan said.

那得先试演一下，让我们听听你的本事。

Well, you'll have to audition, so let's hear what you got.

迪伦坐回去，等着狐狸演奏。

Dylan sat back waiting for the fox to play.

她把乐器举到嘴边，但还没来得及吹，那只大毛狼就从树丛里冲了出来。

She raised her instrument to her mouth, but before she could blow, the great shaggy wolf burst out of the trees.

他爪子里握着鼓槌，脸上带着愤怒的咆哮。

He had his drumsticks in his paws and an angry snarl on his face.

嘿。

Hey.

你这是什么意思？

What's the big idea?

他低吼道。

He growled.

我以为是我加入你们的乐队，现在你们却在面试这只狐狸。

I thought I was the one joining your band, and now you're auditioning this fox.

狐狸说到底不就是只小橙色的狼吗？

What is a fox anyway but a little orange wolf?

肯定不如真家伙好。

Not as good as the real thing.

好吧。

Okay.

但是，说真的，狼不就是只大号的烂狐狸吗？

But, like, what is a wolf but a big lousy fox?

走开。

Get lost.

我现在已经是乐队的一员了，我们乐队叫口哨帮。

I'm in the band now, and we're gonna be called the whistle bunch.

不行。

No.

等等。

Wait.

狐步舞，或者叫狐狸口哨手，狐狸笛子手。

The foxtrot or or the foxy whistlers, foxy flautists.

我也不知道。

I don't know.

我不知道。

I don't know.

但这是我的乐队。

But it's my band.

不行。

No.

我们是“大坏狼和小猪们”，狼这么说的。

We're the big bad wolf and his little pigs, said the wolf.

“不，”熊咆哮着，从树上滚了下来。

No, roared the bear, tumbling from the trees.

我们是爪爪伙伴。

We're the paw pals.

这是谁？

Who's this?

狼问道。

Asked the wolf.

哦，你是不是又一个，那种，想加入的？

Oh, are you another, like, wannabe?

狐狸说道。

Said the fox.

“哦，停！”迪伦用尽全力吼道，好让自己的声音盖过那些咆哮和吠叫。

Oh, stop, roared Dylan, loud as he could to be heard over the growls and barks.

别吵了。

Just stop.

所有的动物现在都转过头来看着他，脸上满是愤怒。

The animals all turned to look at him now, their faces angry.

狼的牙齿闪着巨大的寒光，熊的嘴巴大得像山洞，就连狐狸也露出一排闪亮的尖牙。

The wolf's teeth gleamed huge, the bear's muzzle as big as a cave, and even the fox had a row of gleaming needles.

这么说，你让我们全都来试镜了，狼说道，眼里透出饥饿的神情。

So you had us all audition, said the wolf, a hungry look seeping into his eyes.

哇哦。

Woah.

那到底是谁进了乐队？

Like, which one made the band?

熊揉着圆滚滚的肚子，低声说道。

Rumbled the bear, rubbing her ample belly.

是谁？

Who is it?

呃，迪伦结结巴巴地说。

Well, stuttered Dylan.

天哪。

Oh my god.

狐狸说：“就告诉我们是谁吧。”

Just, like, tell us who it is, said the fox.

是……是……是你们所有人。

It's it's, it's all of you.

对。

Yes.

就是你们所有人。

It's all of you.

你们都入选了。

You all made the band.

什么？

What?

他们一起问道。

They all asked together.

接下来介绍狼，负责打击乐。

Introducing wolf on percussion.

哇。

Wow.

狼说：谢谢。

Thanks, said the wolf.

接下来，我们有熊负责贝斯。

And next, we have Bear on bass.

哦，我深感荣幸。

Oh, I'm deeply honored.

你懂了吗？

You get it?

因为贝斯，所以是‘深’感荣幸。

Deeply because of the bass.

最后但绝不是最不重要的，我们有狐狸负责口哨和长笛。

And last but never least, we have fox on the whistle slash flute.

我的天哪。

Oh my gosh.

好。

Okay.

好。

Okay.

我可是最厉害的口哨兼长笛演奏家，你们能请到我真是赚到了。

I'm like the most amazing whistler slash flautist, and you're all so lucky to have me.

我知道。

I know.

我终于要实现我口哨明星的梦想了。

I'm finally fulfilling my whistle star destiny.

这一定会很精彩。

This is gonna be amazing.

好。

Okay.

好的。

Okay.

现在你们只需要做最后一件事。

Now there's only one last thing you all have to do.

好吧。

Alright.

那是什么？

What's that?

狼问道。

Asked the wolf.

你们只需要再试一次，但这次要一起。

You just have to audition one more time, but altogether this time.

准备好了吗？

Are you ready?

准备好了。

Ready.

他们一起说道。

They said together.

“果酱！”迪伦说着，举起了双手。

Jam, Dylan said and threw up his arms.

狼开始敲打，熊开始发出轰鸣声，狐狸吹起了口哨，他们一起开始演奏。

The wolf started pounding and the bear started babooming and the fox let loose some whistles, and together, they started to play.

很快，他们就找到了节奏，闭着眼睛，爪子飞舞，尽情地演奏。

Pretty quickly, they found their groove, jamming hard with their eyes closed and paws flying.

就在那时，迪伦的脚也飞了起来，飞快地穿过森林地面，拼命地跑回家。

As soon as that happened, Dylan's feet were flying too, flying across the forest floor, running home just as fast as he could.

他通过了试镜，但他很确定，如果评价不好，他就会变成晚餐，所以他认为找个新地方演奏更明智。

He had survived the auditions, but he was pretty sure a bad review would mean he was dinner, so he thought it was more sensible to just find a new place to play.

你知道吗？

And you know what?

动物们并不介意。

The animals didn't mind.

他们那天一整天都在合奏，之后每天也都在一起演奏。

They played together all that day and every day after.

如果你在合适的时间走进合适的森林，也许还能听到他们的演奏。

And if you walk into the right woods at the right time, you may still hear them playing.

他们狂野的音乐，砰砰、咚咚，在森林里回荡。

Their wild music bang, baboom, whistling through the forest.

如果你试镜表现得好，他们甚至可能让你加入。

And with the right audition, they may even let you join.

故事讲完了。
