The Three Little Worms to the Rescue 蟲蟲救援隊(duì)

故事導(dǎo)讀：

三只小蟲蟲，開動(dòng)腦筋想辦法，成功救出了受困的小伙伴，它們自我感覺好極了。接下來，“超級(jí)蟲”“非凡蟲”“聰明蟲”和“勇敢的巴基”要一起去“拯救世界”啦。

The three little worms were playing superheroes.

“I’m Super Worm！” said Squirmy.

“I’m Wonder Worm！” said Wormy.

“I’m Mighty Mind！” said Mortimer. “And it’s time to save the world！”

Just then， they heard someone calling “Help！”

They ran to the well and looked down. Their friend Bucky Bug was stuck at the bottom.

“I can’t get out！” he cried.

“Can we lower the bucket？” asked Squirmy.

“It won’t go far enough，” said Wormy.

“I have an idea，” said Mortimer.

Before you could say “super-duper-snooper-scooper，” they had pulled Bucky out of the well.

“You’re heroes！” Bucky cried. “No， you’re more than that. You’re superheroes！”

“That’s right，” said Squirmy. “We’re Super Worm， Wonder Worm， and Mighty Mind！”

“And you can be Bucky the Brave，” said Wormy.

“So come on，” said Mortimer. “It’s time to save the world！”

Words

super-duper-snooper-scooper： 均以字母per結(jié)尾，讀起來朗朗上口，直譯為“了不起的管閑事升運(yùn)機(jī)”，可意譯為“愛管閑事者”。

Bucky the Brave勇敢的巴基；Bucky Bug（巴基蟲）與Bucky Barnes（巴基·巴恩斯）的首字母均是B，且巴基·巴恩斯是超級(jí)英語美國隊(duì)長的好友，與他一起懲惡揚(yáng)善，因此超級(jí)蟲蟲救援隊(duì)就戲稱它們的好友巴基蟲為“勇敢的巴基”。

come on快，趕快；來吧，來呀
