狗狗Clifford之寶貝打嗝了

最近，Clifford一直不停地打嗝，而且聲音特別大。獸醫說很快就會好的。可是Clifford還是打個不停。Mac說他有辦法止住Clifford打嗝，他到底有什么辦法呢?讓我們一起看故事吧。

1. Emily gets up in the morning for breakfast. Hic-hic-HICCUP! What's that sound? Hic-hic-HICCUP! Clifford is having hiccups. Up pop the plates and cups. Up pops the orange juice ——right onto Mr. Howard's head. “Maybe the vet can help Clifford.” says Mrs Howard.

Emily 早上起來去吃早飯。嗝……嗝嘍!什么聲音?嗝……嗝嘍!Clifford 接連打嗝。盤子、杯子彈了起來，橘子汁濺了出來，正好灑在 Howard 先生的頭上。“也許獸醫能治好Clifford。” Howard 太太說。

2. Dr. Dihn checks Clifford's breathing. Hic-hic-HICCUP! “Clifford just has the hiccups，” Dr Dihn says. “Sooner or later， they will go away.”

Dihn 醫生查了查Clifford 的呼吸。嗝……嗝嘍!“Clifford 就是打嗝，沒別的毛病，” Dihn 醫生說。“打嗝遲早會停止的。”

3. Outside the doctor's office， Clifford sees his friend Mac. Hic-hic-HICCUP! “I know how to make your hiccups go away，” Mac says to Clifford. “Follow me.”

在醫生辦公室外面，Clifford 看到了他的朋友Mac。嗝……嗝嘍!“我知道怎么讓你不再打嗝，” Mac 對 Clifford 說。“跟我來。”

4. They come to a kid's pool. “Close your eyes， hold your ears， then turn upside down， and drink!” says Mac.

他們來到一個幼兒泳池前。“閉上眼睛，攥住耳朵，躺在地上，把水喝掉!”Mac 說。

5. Clifford begins to drink. “Boo!”Mac jumps out of the pool! And Clifford's hiccups stop!

Clifford 開始喝了。“嘭!”Mac從泳池里跳了出來，Clifford 的打嗝就停了!

6. “I did it!” says Mac. Hic-hic-HICCUP! “My hiccups didn't go away， but I feel good because you helped me so much.” says Clifford.

“我成功了!” Mac 說。嗝……嗝嘍!“我的打嗝沒停住，但是我感到高興，因為你們如此努力地幫助了我，” Clifford 說。

7. Just then， Emily comes over and asks Clifford:“How are your hiccups?” Everyone listens. Then they listen some more. Clifford's hiccups are finally gone!

這時，Emily 走過來，問 Cliffod:“你的打嗝怎樣了?”大家在聽，接著再聽。Clifford 終于不打嗝了!

Joke Nest and Hair

My sister， a primary school teacher， was informed by one of her pupils that a bird had built its nest in the tree outside the classroom.

“What kind of bird?”my sister asked.

“Then， can you give us a description of the nest?” my sister encouraged her .

“Well， ma'am， it just resembles your hair. ”

“哦，老師，就像你的頭發一樣。”

動物園袋鼠逃跑，狐貍野豬挖洞相助

A kangaroo is on the lam in Germany after breaking out of a wildlife park， with a fox and a wild boar his suspected accomplices.

一只“逃犯”袋鼠在“幫兇”狐貍和野豬的幫助下逃離了野生動物園，目前正在潛逃中。

Michael Hoffmann， assistant head of the Hochwildschutzpark Hunsrueck west of Frankfurt， said Monday the male kangaroo was one of three that escaped overnight Saturday with the inadvertent help of the menagerie that lives in the area woods.

德國法蘭克福市西區野生動物園的園長助理米歇爾·霍夫曼于周一稱，在附近野生森林的動物的幫助下，三只袋鼠于周六夜間逃離動物園，其中一只雄性袋鼠在逃中。

Hoffmann says the kangaroos got out of their enclosure after a young fox snuck into the park and dug a hole next to the cage’s fencing. Two of the three were then able to get out of the park entirely through another hole dug by a wild boar under the exterior fence.

他還說，之前一只小狐貍溜進了動物園，恰好在袋鼠籠子邊上的柵欄那里打了個洞，袋鼠就是從那兒逃出籠子的。而另外兩只袋鼠則是從“嫌犯”野豬在柵欄另一邊外側頂出的洞里逃出動物園的。

Hoffmann says， “we’ve got two of them back; now we’re just looking for the third.”

霍夫曼最后說，“其中兩只已經抓回來了，動物園還在尋找逃走的另一只。”
