受欢迎的女孩其实是一只乌龟/会吹小号的猫

快说吧。

Spill it.

说啊。

Spill.

我想，这就是我接下来十一个月的生活了。

I guess this is my life for the next eleven and a half months.

嗯，已经整整十一个月了。

Well, it's been exactly eleven and a half months.

我得说，我越来越适应这个人类世界了。

And I gotta say, I'm getting used to this human world.

而且这些受欢迎的女孩其实挺不错的。

And these popular girls are actually pretty cool.

比如，杰西家后院有个很棒的池塘，布莱尔让我躺在她温暖的露台上。

Like, Jersey has a really nice pond in her backyard, and Blar lets me lay down on her warm patio.

而坎伯嘛，就是坎伯。

And Camber is, well, Camber.

嘿，米歇尔。

Hey, Michelle.

你今天穿的衣服真可爱。

Your outfit is so cute today.

太适合你了。

It's so you.

谢谢，坎伯。

Thanks, Camber.

这是Lumen家的。

It's from Lumen.

哦。

Oh.

哦。

Oh.

好尴尬。

Awkward.

我想人类的魔法失效了。

I guess the human spell were off.

米歇尔去哪儿了？

Where did Michelle go?

我只

All I

看到一只带着壳的奇怪小动物。

see is this weird little animal with a shell.

各位，是我。

Guys, it's me.

我是米歇尔。

I'm Michelle.

哦，她啊，天哪。

Oh, and she Oh, damn.

你是一只乌龟吗？

Are you a turtle?

实际上，我是一只陆龟。

Actually, I'm a tortoise.

严格来说，我是乌龟，因为所有陆龟都是乌龟，但并非所有乌龟都是陆龟。

Well, technically, I am a turtle because all tortoises are turtles, but not all turtles are tortoises.

有点像正方形和矩形的关系。

Sort of a square versus rectangle situation.

好吧。

Okay.

我其实很喜欢几何，所以我懂。

I actually love geometry, so I get it.

你们都在给谁发消息？

Who are you all texting?

我们正在群聊里告诉大家米歇尔是一只乌龟。

We're telling the whole group chat that Michelle is a turtle.

陆龟。

Tortoise.

你刚说你也是乌龟。

You just said you're also a turtle.

我想现在既然大家都已经知道我是陆龟了，也没必要再待下去了。

I I guess there's no use sticking around now that everyone knows I'm a tortoise.

回陆龟族群去了。

Back to the tortoise colony.

那个陆龟开关在哪？

Where's that tortoise switch?

我想你已经吸取教训了，知道当个受欢迎的女孩并不像表面看起来那么美好。

I suppose you've learned your lesson, that being a popular girl isn't all it's cracked up to be.

不，实际上不是这样。

No, actually.

事实是，当我为了肤浅的原因想当个受欢迎的女孩时，我觉得他们很烦人，但后来当我真正了解他们之后，发现他们其实挺棒的。

It turns out I found them annoying when I wanted to be a popular girl for superficial reasons, then they ended up being really cool, like, once I got to know them.

我想我们应当意识到自己的偏见，警惕刻板印象。

I guess we should be, like, aware of our biases and wary of stereotypes.

哦，好吧。

Oh, okay.

你能再把我变成别的东西吗？

Can you turn me into something else, please?

唉，行吧。

Ugh, fine.

一、二、三，变成一只蝴蝶。

One, two, three, a butterfly you'll be.

天哪，这些翅膀？

OMG, these wings?

我简直着迷了。

I'm literally obsessed.

完事了。

The end.

现在请听李和作者的对话。

And now Lee speaks with the author.

杰克，你写的那个受欢迎的女孩其实是一只乌龟。

Jake, so you wrote the popular girl who is actually a tortoise.

是的。

Yeah.

你能告诉我你是怎么想到这个故事的吗？

Can you tell me how you got the idea for that story?

我只是觉得这会很有趣，因为我喜欢乌龟，然后我就有了这个想法，天哪，真是这样。

I just thought it would be funny because I like turtles, And I just had the idea, like, it would be like, oh my gosh.

你是一只乌龟？

You're a turtle?

实际上，我是一只珀斯。

Actually, I'm a Perth.

你养过乌龟当宠物吗？

Have you ever had a pet turtle?

没有。

No.

但我真的很想要一只。

But I really want one.

如果你哪天养了一只乌龟，你有想好名字吗？

If you get a turtle someday, do you have any ideas for names?

我不知道。

I don't know.

也许因为我的故事，我会给它取名叫米歇尔。

Maybe because of my story, I might name it Michelle.

哦，等等。

Oh, wait.

是因为壳才叫米歇尔吗？

Is it Michelle because of the shell?

是的。

Yeah.

我刚才才明白过来。

I did not get that until just now.

是的。

Yeah.

我试着编了个有趣的双关语。

I tried to make up, like, a funny pun.

这太棒了。

That is so good.

哇。

Wow.

我向您脱帽致敬，先生。

My my hat is off to you, sir.

谢谢。

Thank you.

我养了一只蜗牛，名叫布莱克·谢尔顿。

I have a pet snail named Blake Shelton.

哦，真的吗？

Oh, really?

布莱克·谢尔顿。

Blake Shelton.

哦，是的。

Oh, yeah.

养一只蜗牛是什么感觉？

What is it like having a pet snail?

他是一种水蜗牛。

He's like a water snail.

他帮我吃掉鱼缸里所有的藻类。

He sucks up algae for all my fish.

你养了多少条鱼？

How many fish do you have?

我以前有大约12条，但现在只剩下4条了，因为其他的都去世了。

I had, like, 12, but now I have, like, four because all of them, like, passed away.

哦，我很抱歉。

Oh, I'm sorry.

是的。

Yeah.

这种事情会发生。

It happens.

我以前还有一只叫沙奎尔·奥尼尔的。

I had also one named Shaquille O'Neal.

我养了一群小小的发光小鱼，我给它们取名叫《黄金女郎》。

I have a bunch of, like, little glowing littlest fish, and I named them the golden girls.

你能分清哪条鱼是哪位《黄金女郎》吗？

Do you know which fish are which golden girls?

不能。

No.

我只是觉得它们会发光，这样取名挺搞笑的。

I just I just thought that would be funny since they, like, glowed.

你得慢慢了解这些《黄金女郎》们。

You know, get to know the golden girls a little bit.

你可能会发现，哦，那条鱼，那就是亚瑟无疑。

You might find oh, that fish right there, that is definitely be Arthur right there.

这真有趣。

That's funny.

我们再回到你的故事上。

Back to your story for a second.

如果你能有一个女巫乌龟，让你变成某个人或某种生物，但只能持续一年，你会选择变成什么？

If you could have a witch tortoise turn you into anyone or any creature for one year only, what would you choose?

我想我会选择变成一只小丑鱼，因为它们又可爱又酷，还能生活在珊瑚礁里。

I think I would probably be like a clownfish because those those are cute and awesome, and they get to live in the coral reef.

你有没有去过浮潜，或者去过那种能近距离观察鱼类的环境？

Have you ever been snorkeling or been, you know, in an environment like that where you could see fish really up close?

有。

Yeah.

我一年前去度假的时候，去浮潜看到了海蜇。

I went on vacation like a year ago, and I got to see, like, stingrays when I went snorkeling.

这太酷了。

It was really cool.

谢谢让我们讲述你的故事。

Thanks for letting us perform your story.

不客气。

You're welcome.

好的。

Alright.

跟鱼打个招呼吧。

Say hi to the fish.

祝你今晚愉快。

Have a great night.

你也是。

You too.

再见

See

我推测，如果我们选择一条不经过这些山丘的路线，就可以在整个旅程中分摊晕车的程度。

hypothesized that we could amortize levels of carsickness over the length of the trip if you would take a road that doesn't traverse these hills.

不行，梅根。

No can do, Megan.

首先，我听不懂你所说的半数词汇。

First, I don't understand half of the words you said.

但我用的是标准词汇，其词源或许由伟大的荷兰学者马库斯·齐罗斯·范霍恩最好地阐述过，他曾写道

But I am using standard vocabulary, the etymology of which was perhaps best articulated by the great Dutch scholar, Markus Ziros van Boxhorn, who wrote

没时间。

No time.

其次。

Second.

我早有预感这可能会发生，所以我无法提前准备。

I had a feeling this might happen, so I can't prepare.

你们都知道这句格言：如果第一次不成功，就尝试一个新发明。

You all know the motto, if at first you don't succeed, try a new invention.

然后，尼米娜指了指方向盘旁边的一个巨大的红色按钮。

Then Nimene pointed to a giant red button next to the steering wheel.

其他海盗都不知道这个按钮是做什么用的，他们都

None of the other pirates knew what the button was for, and they were all

不敢问。

afraid to ask.

当埃里克在我们合唱《她将绕山而来》时感到有点恶心，我就安装了这个按钮。

I installed this when Eric got a little queasy during our sing along of She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain.

现在，给这个大红按钮重重一按。

Now, to give this big red button a big old push.

哇哦。

Woah.

应该有什么事情发生吗？

Was something supposed to happen?

那个大红按钮做了什么？

What did that big red button do?

那是非线性振荡反向晕车消除器，简称NOSIC。

That was the nonlinear oscillating speed inverting car sickness killer, or NOSIC for short.

它通过飞船发送高频振动，模拟无运动状态。

It sends high frequency vibrations through the ship that simulate non motion.

我明白了。

I see.

没有运动。

No motion.

没有晕车。

No motion sickness.

没错。

Exactly.

现在我们可以随意穿越多少座山丘都没问题了。

Now we can drive through as many hills as we want.

对吧，埃里克？

Right, Eric?

埃里克？

Eric?

嘿，埃里克去哪儿了？

Hey, where'd Eric go?

我在这儿，后座，安全带扣后面。

I'm here in the back seat, behind the seat belt buckle.

哎呀。

Uh-oh.

埃里克变得太小了，现在只有普通成年人手掌大小。

Eric had become so small that he was now the size of an average adult's hand.

他就像一个能放进一杯冰水里的钩子。

He's like if a hookey could fit inside a cup of water ice.

加油，鸟儿们。

Go birds.

他看起来像拇指姑娘。

Thumbelina like looks he.

嘿。

Hey.

尼梅内，你的解药又让所有人都变得更糟了。

Nimene, your cure made everyone worse again.

看着我。

Look at me.

我以前充满激情和戏剧性。

I used to be filled with passion, drama.

现在我却在整理一份关于农业灌溉系统的100页报告。

Now I'm collating copies of a 100 page report on agricultural watering systems.

嘿，至少李的情况没再恶化。

Hey, at least Lee isn't getting any worse.

他还是在倒着说话。

He's still just talking backwards.

快，不是这样。

Fast so not.

衣服现在都穿反了。

Backwards are clothes by now.

说实话，这真是个很酷的九十年代复古时尚宣言。

Honestly, pretty cool nineties throwback fashion statement.

我想我安装无厚度装置时太匆忙了，结果装反了。

I guess I was in a rush when I was installing the no thick, and I installed it backwards.

好吧，没关系。

Well, no worries.

我可以不。

I can No.

不再有病了。

No more no sick.

看，我整理了一个没有图片的简短幻灯片演示，列出了我们困境的可能解决方案。

Here, I've assembled a brief slideshow presentation without pictures that lays out possible solutions to our conundrum.

我们至少可以将速度降低一个数量级。

We can, at minimum, decelerate by an order of magnitude.

事后归因。

Post hoc ergo propter hoc.

你在说什么鬼东西？

What the concha hocking are you talking about?

我们放慢速度。

We slow down.

我们不再晕车了。

We're no longer carsick.

放慢速度？

Slow down?

那我们就永远到不了紫人派对星球了。

Then we'll never make it to Purple People Party Planet.

幸运的是，我预见到可能发生这种情况，所以我做了双重准备。

Luckily, I thought this might happen, so I came double prepared.

埃里克，你能帮我从背包里拿一下吗？

Eric, will you reach into my backpack?

伸手进去？

Reach in?

怎么伸？

How?

好的。

Okay.

好的。

Okay.

爬进去。

Climb in.

里面有一样能帮上忙的东西。

There's something in there that will help.

好的。

Okay.

我来了。

Here I go.

你看到了吗，埃里克？

Do you see it, Eric?

你看到那个标着‘治愈’的瓶子了吗？

Do you see the bottle labeled cure?

上面写着‘治愈’，但还有更多内容。

It says cure, but there 's more.

我最好把整个标签都读一遍。

I better read the whole label.

没时间了。

No time.

那一定就是它了。

That's got to be it.

把它拿出来，确保每个人喝一汤匙。

Bring it out and make sure everyone takes a tablespoon.

好的。

Okay.

来吧。

Here we go.

好了。

There.

现在，你们应该马上就会感觉好些了。

Now, you should all be feeling better any second.

到目前为止感觉还是一样。

Feels the same so far.

等等，有情况发生了。

Wait, something's happening.

我感觉更小了。

I feel even smaller.

尼梅内。

Nimene.

广告结束后，我们马上回来。

We'll be right back after a few words for the grown ups.

嘿，大人们。

Hey, grown ups.

今天的节目由Bombas赞助。

Today's episode is sponsored by Bombas.

你知道吗，人们总问我2026年的决心，但我只想说：老兄，现在都二月了。

You know, people keep asking me about my twenty twenty six resolutions, and I'm like, bruh, it's February.

我以为我们一月时都很热爱新年决心，但后来我记起来，我清单上排名第一的决心就是——躺平。

I thought we loved our New Year's resolutions in January, but then I remember the number one resolution at the top of my list getting comfy.

这就是Bombas的用武之地。

And that's where Bombas comes in.

它们为我日常穿的所有衣物带来了极致的舒适感。

They're bringing serious comfort to all my everyday go tos.

今年我看了很多冬奥会，正考虑去练雪橇。

This year, I've been watching the Winter Olympics a lot, and I'm thinking of taking up the luge.

哇，全新推出的Bombas运动袜简直太适合这个了。

And wow, the all new Bomba sports socks would be perfect for that.

它们在理论上我最需要的地方提供了缓冲，具有排汗功能，并配备了其他多种科技特性，我相信这些能让我在松软的赛道上保持舒适和稳固。

They're cushioned where I would theoretically need it most, sweat wicking, and loaded with other tech features that I'm sure would keep me comfy and locked in on the loose track.

更贴合我的需求的是，Bombas 为我那些日常居家的承诺提供了最舒适的鞋履选择。

Even more in my lane, Bombas has me covered for those everyday around the house resolutions with the comfiest footwear imaginable.

例如，这个周末，我计划穿着全新的周六麂皮套脚鞋去开门。

For example, this weekend, I'm planning on answering the door in my brand new Saturday suede slip on shoes.

它们给人一种我正在外出奔波的错觉，但实际舒适度超乎你的想象。

They give the illusion that I'm on the go with more comfort than you could ever imagine.

而在其下方，是柔软到让你重新思考整个衣橱的底层衣物。

And underneath it, all the softest base layers that will have you rethinking your whole wardrobe.

Bombas 的内衣和T恤柔软、透气，触感如丝般顺滑。

Bombas underwear and t shirts are flexible, breathable, and buttery smooth.

这些高品质的日常必备单品，我出门时从不离身。

Premium everyday go tos that I won't leave the house without.

而这是我最喜欢的部分。

And here's my favorite part.

每购买一件商品，就会向面临住房和安全问题的人捐赠一件必需衣物。

For every item you purchase, an essential clothing item is donated to someone facing housing and security.

买一捐一，已捐赠超过1.5亿件，且仍在持续增加。

Hey, grown ups.

本期节目由 DoorDash 赞助。

Today's episode is sponsored by DoorDash.

当生活陷入混乱时，DoorDash 会及时出现。

When the chaos of life hits, DoorDash will be there.

作为父母，每当我最需要帮助时，DoorDash 总是陪伴在我身边。

As a parent, DoorDash has always been there for me when I needed them most.

就像2023年2月12日那天，我订购了一包二号纸尿裤和一袋9.25盎司的玉米片，因为我急需纸尿裤给婴儿用，同时也非常想吃玉米片。

Like that time on 02/12/2023, when I ordered one pack of size two diapers and a 9.25 ounce bag of corn chips because I was desperate for diapers for a baby and also desperate for corn chips.

当然，纸尿裤更紧急，幸运的是DoorDash随时准备帮忙。

Sure, the diapers were more urgent and luckily DoorDash was ready to help.

我几分钟后就收到了纸尿裤，宝宝一切都安排好了，我也如愿吃上了想吃的玉米片。

I got the diapers minutes later and my baby was all set and I got the corn chips I was craving too.

宝宝可没吃任何玉米片。

The baby did not get any corn chips.

小婴儿不该吃玉米片，首先因为他们还没有牙齿。

Tiny babies shouldn't eat corn chips because for starters, they don't have any teeth.

现实生活需要真正的解压方式。

Real life needs real relief.

这就是为什么无论你需要什么，DoorDash都会在你需要时出现。

That's why DoorDash is there for whatever you need, whenever you need it.

嘿，大人们。

Hey, grown ups.

我是李。

Lee here.

来看故事海盗的现场演出。

See Story Pirates live.

我们出色的巡演团队，包括埃里克，今年春天将访问一些东海岸城市，表演你们最喜欢的播客歌曲。

Our amazing touring cast, including Eric, will be visiting some East Coast cities this spring to perform some of your favorite songs from the podcast.

他们还会从观众中的孩子们那里收集建议，创作一个只演出一次的全新故事。

And they'll take suggestions from kids in the audience to create a brand new story that will only be seen once.

最棒的是，我们所有即将举行的演出都在周末，不用担心上学日或睡前作息。

Best of all, all of our upcoming shows are on weekends, so no need to worry about school nights or bedtime routines.

我们很快将在宾夕法尼亚州的芒霍尔（匹兹堡郊外）、俄亥俄州的辛辛那提、新罕布什尔州的朴茨茅斯、马萨诸塞州的梅德福德（波士顿郊外）和康涅狄格州的里奇菲尔德与大家见面。

We'll see you soon in Munhall, Pennsylvania, just outside of Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Ohio, Portsmouth, New Hampshire, Medford, Massachusetts, just outside of Boston, and Richfield, Connecticut.

所有演出的门票现已在 storypirates.com/live 上发售。

Tickets to all the shows are on sale now at storypirates.com/live.

看来这种药根本不是什么灵丹妙药。

Seems as though this medicine isn't a cure after all.

让我看看那个瓶子。

Let me see that bottle.

这种越吃越糟的药居然叫治愈药？

The cure that makes you worse?

如果一种药会让你更糟，谁会把它标成治愈药呢？

Why would anyone label a bottle a cure if it makes you worse?

这就是营销的手段。

That's marketing for you.

好吧。

Okay.

拿错瓶子了。

That was the wrong bottle.

别慌。

No need to panic.

我们还是能按时拍完电影的。

We can still make the movie on time.

故事海盗们不再关心紫人派对星球了。

The Story Pirates no longer cared about Purple People Party Planet.

他们想回归正常的生活，做回真正的自己。

They wanted to return to a sense of normalcy, to their true selves.

他们想要一种晕车的特效药。

They wanted a car sickness cure.

我觉得我们已经超出了家庭疗法的范围。

I think we're beyond the capacity of home remedies.

我们应该去找医生。

We should seek out a doctor.

但是我们上哪儿去找医生呢？

But where are we going to find a doctor?

如果我们查阅飞船的地图，仔细研究附近地形，并结合在线评价进行交叉分析，就能找到一位合格的医生。

If we consult the ship's maps and enact a careful study of the nearby topography with a cross analysis of online reviews, we can ascertain the location of a qualified doctor.

或者我可以问问我们的智能腰带。

Or I could ask our smart belts.

智能腰带是什么？

What's a smart belt?

只是一个我安装的小装置，能保障你的安全并推荐去的地方。

Just a handy little device I installed that keeps you safe and recommends places to go.

嘿，智能腰带。

Hey, smart belt.

你好，尼米恩。

Hello, Nimene.

有什么可以帮你的？

How may I assist you?

请将飞船的航向设定为最近的停靠点。

Please set the ship's coordinates for the nearest dock

正在设定前往鸭子游船的航向。

Setting coordinates for duck tour.

看到了吗？

See?

比地图快多了。

Much faster than maps.

谢谢，腰带。

Thanks, belt.

不客气。

You are welcome.

别忘了系好安全带。

Don't forget to buckle up.

等等。

Wait.

智能腰带没说医生。

The smart belt didn't say doctor.

看看船上的地图。

Look at the onboard map.

它正带我们去。

It's taking us.

没时间了。

No time.

抓紧了。

Hold on tight.

我能问一下提图斯在看什么吗？

Can I ask Titus holding eyes?

现在？

Now?

我扶着你。

I got you.

该死。

Fuck.

急转弯让我更晕车了。

Rapid turns are making my car sickness worse.

谁转得比沃尔特·佩顿为熊队冲进达阵区还快？

What took that turn faster than Walter Payton turned into the end zone for the bears.

这些变化如同樱桃园的四季更替。

The changes come as seasons of the cherry orchard.

这就是我的命运。

Such is my fate.

尼梅内，停下。

Nimene, stop.

时机完美，梅根。

Perfect timing, Megan.

我们以创纪录的速度到达了诊所。

We've made it to the doctor's office in record time.

尼梅内。

Nimene.

我们仍然能赶到紫色人群星球。

We can still make it to Purple People Party Planet.

我们只需要看医生，然后在……呃，三分钟内治好。

We just need to see the doctor and get cured in, let's see, under three minutes.

尼米恩。

Nimene.

如果我用我的发明——速医预约改进自动机——加快我们的就诊速度，我们还能节省更多时间。

We'll save even more time if I speed up our doctor's visit using my invention, the MedicQuick appointment improv o matic.

尼米恩。

Nimene.

我觉得梅根是在试图告诉你什么。

Am believing Megan is trying to tell you something.

尼米恩，这不是医生的诊所。

Nimene, this isn't a doctor's office.

不是吗？

It's not?

不是。

No.

看看四周。

Look around.

你看到了什么？

What do you see?

船？

Boats?

我们是在码头吗？

Are we at a dock?

这正是我想告诉你的。

That's what I was trying to tell you.

你说的是医生，但智能腰带听成了码头游览。

You said doctor, but the smart belt heard, Dock tour.

你也没花时间确认一下。

And you didn't take the time to check.

所以现在，我们到了码头。

So now, we're here at the dock.

至少我们可以去游览一下。

Well, at least we can take the tour.

但就在故事海盗们对看到其他船只的想法着迷时，蕾切尔注意到了一块告示牌。

But just as the Story Pirates became enamored of the idea of seeing other ships, Rachel noticed a sign.

她大声读了出来。

She read it aloud.

今天，码头游览关闭。

Today, the dock tour is closed.

关闭？

Closed?

是的。

Yeah.

你别逗我了。

You're kidding me.

我。

Me.

别喊了。

Stop yelling.

不，梅根。

No, Megan.

他们大声喊是对的。

They're right to yell.

你什么意思？

What do you mean?

嗯，大家都病了，我们没法去码头，所有人都得进入‘紫色人群星球’剧透回避模式，这全都是我的错。

Well, everyone's sick, we can't take a dock door, and we're all going to have to go on Purple People Party Planet spoiler avoidance mode, and it's all my fault.

别这样。

Come on now.

这不全是你的错。

It's not all your fault.

是我搞错了电影的时间。

I'm the one who made the mistake with the movie time.

但正是我因为着急才让事情变得更糟。

But I'm the one who made everything worse by rushing.

那为了什么？

Then for what?

我连电影都没让我们准时赶到。

I didn't even get us to the movie on time.

这一天彻底毁了。

The day is officially ruined.

就在那时，蕾切尔意识到现在是下午3点10分，她还有时间把大家的电影票换成明天下午3点15分的场次。

Just then, Rachel realized that it was 03:10PM, and she still had time to exchange everyone's movie tickets for tomorrow's 03:15 showing.

看吧？

See?

我们还是能看上电影的，只是得有点耐心。

We'll still get to see the movie, we just have to be patient.

也许如果我直接去Nimene，就能找到加快变得有耐心的方法。

Maybe I could figure out a way to speed up the process of becoming patient if I just Nimene.

你说得对。

You're right.

我说的时候我就听到了。

I heard it when I said it.

我吸取教训了。

I've learned my lesson.

我们重新上路去电影院吧，不过这次我会走远一点，慢慢开。

Let's get back on the road to the movie theater, but this time, I'll take the long way, nice and slow.

于是，故事海盗们重新上路，欣赏着那片完全平坦、毫无起伏的乡村美景。

And so the Story Pirates headed back out on the road, enjoying the beauty of the perfectly flat countryside that had absolutely no hills whatsoever.

但我们怎么治晕车呢？

But how do we cure our car sickness?

别介意，

No offense,

但我不想听Rachel叙述我正在亲身体验的事情。

but I don't really wanna hear Rachel narrate things that I'm experiencing directly.

这太取巧了。

It's a cheap device.

等等，你的声音变得更低沉了。

Wait, your voice sounds deeper.

如果我没猜错的话，

And if I'm not mistaken,

你看起来也高了一点。

you look a little taller.

谢谢

Thank

不客气。

you.

我一直在调整我的姿势。

I've been working on my posture.

不是，埃里克。

No, Eric.

我觉得你正在恢复到原来的身高。

I think you're returning to your regular size.

也许如果尼梅恩继续以这么慢的速度沿着这条平坦的路线开，我们都会恢复正常。

Maybe if Nimene keeps driving slowly along this flat route, we'll all return to normal.

真的吗？

Really?

那我最好做点什么，与‘踩油门’相反的动作是什么？

Then I'd better what's the opposite of step on it?

平稳地踩下油门，均匀施加压力。

Press the pedal smoothly with an even distribution of pressure.

好的，我开始了。

Okay, here I go.

小心点。

Carefully.

嘿，他们的声音又像我了。

Hey, They sound like me again.

而且我又能看到大家头顶上的东西了。

And I can see over everyone's heads again.

而且我能说话了

你怎么样？

How are you?

怎么了？

What's up?

最近怎么样？

How's it going?

感觉真好。

Feels great.

我终于又能说四个字了。

I can finally speak four words again.

太好了，因为我一直想告诉你们一些回文。

Thank goodness, because I've been dying to tell all of you some palindromes.

但那些不是正着读和反着读都一样吗？

But aren't those the same forwards and backwards?

是的。

Oh yeah.

错失了机会。

Missed opportunity.

而我，梅根，终于可以回到我重要的戏剧性工作了。

And I, Megan, can finally get back to my important dramatic work.

哦不，彼得还是晕车。

Oh no, Peter's still carsick.

哦，对不起。

Oh, sorry.

我没事。

I'm fine.

我只是为了好玩试着新学了个口音。

I was just trying out a new accent for funsies.

效果不太好。

It wasn't very good.

彼得。

Peter.

天哪。

我们再讲个故事吧。

Let's do another story.

接下来有请作者来为大家介绍这个故事。

And here's the author to introduce it.

嗨。

Hi.

我叫普雷斯顿。

My name is Preston.

我九岁了，住在印第安纳州。

I'm nine years old, and I live in Indiana.

这是我的故事，《会吹小号的猫》。

This is my story, The Cat That Had a Trumpet.

大家好，网络上的观众们，欢迎收看萝莎和她会吹小号的猫的又一期节目。

Hello, Internet, and welcome to another episode of Rosa and her cat that plays the trumpet.

开始吧，威洛。

Hit it, Willow.

喵。

Meow.

哇哦。

Woo.

看这只猫飞起来了。

Look at that cat fly.

罗莎，威尔洛，该吃晚饭了，别忘了把衣服收起来。

Rosa, Willow, time for dinner, and don't forget to put away that laundry.

抱歉，各位。

Sorry, everyone.

那是我妈妈。

That's my mom.

你听到了吗，威尔洛。

You heard her, Willow.

把它带回来。

Bring it home.

下次再见，欢迎收看《罗莎和她会吹喇叭的猫》。

See you next time on Rosa and her cat that plays the trumpet.

那真有趣。

That was fun.

即使没多少人看我们的视频也没关系，因为和你一起制作这些视频本身就很快乐，Willow。

It's okay that not many people see our videos because it's just fun to make them with you, Willow.

是的。

Yes.

如果我们火了当然很棒，但即使只有我们自己看，我也很开心。

It would be cool if we went viral, but I'm happy even if we're the only ones that ever watch.

我迫不及待想明天再拍一个吹喇叭的视频。

I can't wait to make another trumpet video tomorrow.

明天就是了。

It's tomorrow.

该拍下一个视频了。

Time for another video.

准备好再吹喇叭了吗，Willow？

Ready to play the trumpet again, Willow?

嘿。

Hey.

你在电脑上做什么？

What are you doing at the computer?

喵。

Meow.

喵。

Meow.

让我看看。

Let me see.

天啊。

Oh my gosh.

Willow，我们上一个视频的播放量已经超过一百万了。

Willow, our last video has over 1,000,000 views.

喵。

Meow.

喵。

Meow.

喵。

Meow.

好吧。

Okay.

炫耀够了吗？

Brag much?

进来。

Come in.

亲爱的，你还需要把衣服收起来。

Sweetheart, you still need to put away your laundry.

对不起，妈妈。

Sorry, mom.

我会的。

I will.

另外，有一位电视制片人来见你。

Also, there's a TV producer here to see you.

什么？

A what?

一位电视制片人。

A TV producer.

你好。

Hello.

我让他在外面等着，但我想他没听我的。

I told him to wait outside, but I guess he didn't listen.

我从来不知道。

I never knew.

说话才是我的专长。

Talking is what I'm all about.

嗨。

Hi.

你好。

Hello.

你怎么样？

How are you?

我很好。

I'm Great.

听我说。

Listen.

当我看到这只猫吹小号的视频时，我对自己说，我一定要让这只猫去巡演。

When I saw the video of this cat playing that trumpet, I said to myself, I gotta get that cat on tour.

所以我就在这儿了。

So here I am.

哇，威洛。

Wow, Willow.

你每天都能吹小号。

You get to play the trumpet every single day.

喵。

Meow.

这才对路。

That's the stuff.

嘿，孩子。

Hey, kid.

你叫

What's your

什么名字？

name?

罗莎。

Rosa.

好吧，我有个消息要告诉你，罗达。

Well, I've got news for you, Rhoda.

你知道谁即将出名吗？

You know who's about to be famous?

谁？

Who?

你的

Your

猫。

cat.

哦，我真以为你会说关于我也能一起去的事。

Oh, I really thought you were gonna say something about how I get to come too.

是的。

Yeah.

走吧，威洛。

Let's go, Willow.

你得在晚上8点前到动物屋，那是最酷的音乐俱乐部，为三只狗日暖场。

You gotta be at the animal room, the coolest music club by 8PM to open for three dog day.

好了，再见，威洛。

Well, bye, Willow.

我也很难过，但我相信我们的友谊无论怎样都会继续下去。

I'm sad too, but I know that our friendship will carry on no matter what

她重重地摔上门，很可能是因为她现在要开始全球巡演，当一只著名的吹小号的猫，没时间理你了。

She slammed that door in your face pretty hard, probably because she doesn't have time for you now that she's going to be a famous trumpet playing cat on a world tour.

妈。

Mom.

怎么了？

What?

她肯定还是有时间理我的。

She definitely still has time for me.

我是她最好的朋友。

I'm her best friend.

你等着瞧吧，今晚我去动物房间看她的演唱会。

You'll see when I go watch her concert at the animal room tonight.

我今晚晚些时候会在动物房间。

I'm here at the animal room later tonight.

我简直不敢相信我得到了前排座位。

I can't believe I got a front row seat.

我迫不及待想看演唱会了。

I can't wait for the concert.

我看过Willow的视频一百遍了。

I've seen Willow's video 100 times.

我看过两百遍了。

I've seen it 200 times.

我希望她演奏《当圣徒们列队行进》。

I hope she plays when the saints go marching in.

我希望她演奏《葬礼进行曲》。

I hope she plays taps.

无论Willow演奏什么，我都会很开心，因为她是我最好的朋友。

I'll be happy whatever Willow plays because she's my best friend.

我最好的朋友？

My best friend?

不。

No.

她不是任何人的最好的

She's nobody's best

是真的。

It's true.

你会看到的。

You'll see.

好吧。

Alright.

所有短吻鳄和乡巴佬们，为音乐才女威洛鼓掌吧——她是一只会吹小号的猫。

All you alligators and cracker dudes, put your paws and claws together for the musical stylings of Willow, the cat, who has a trumpet.

她要把她幸运的号嘴布扔进人群里。

She's going to toss her lucky trumpet spit rag into the crowd.

这边，威洛。

Over here, Willow.

扔到这里，Willow。

Throw it here, Willow.

Willow，是我，Rosa。

Willow, it's me, Rosa.

扔给我。

Throw it to me.

我接住了。

I caught it.

这是我生命中最幸福的一天。

This is the happiest day of my life.

喵。

Meow.

喵。

Meow.

喵。

Meow.

她根本没看我。

She didn't even look at me.

也许她在人群中没看到我。

Maybe she didn't see me in the crowd.

我要做任何好朋友都会做的事。

I'm going to do what any good friend would do.

去后台告诉她，她表现得非常好。

Go backstage and tell her she did a great job.

我现在在Willow的化妆间。

Here I am at Willow's dressing room.

是的。

Yeah.

你想要什么？

What do you want?

我是Willow的朋友，Rosa。

I'm Willow's friend, Rosa.

我来是想和她谈谈。

I came to talk to her.

当然可以。

Sure.

你可以去那边和

You can go hang out with

我们其他朋友一起玩。

all our other friends over there.

你太棒了，Willow。

You're awesome, Willow.

我能要一张合影吗？

Can I get a photograph?

求求你，求求你，能在我地毯上吐个毛球吗？

Please, please, can you hock up a hairball on my carpet?

呃，恶心。

Ew.
