美国小学英语教材5:第200课 乔西的本垒打(8)

It was easy to creep unseen into the little play-shed I where all the twins’ toys, bicycles, balls, bats, and outing garments were kept; it was also easy to slip into her little tweed knickers, so like Joe’s, into her brother’s red sweater, red stockings, and small, scuffed¹ ball shoes.

我很容易偷偷溜进那间小游戏室，里面放着双胞胎的玩具、自行车、球、球棒和郊游服装；她也很容易穿上她的粗花呢短裤，就像乔的一样，穿上她哥哥的红毛衣、红袜子和磨破了的小球鞋。

With the red cap and visor pulled over her eyes, no one would have dreamed that it was not Joe who stepped jauntily² into the ball park just before the game was called. Least of all did the team suspect. They had a yell for each of their players. When they saw Josie, they stamped their feet and chanted:

戴着红帽子，戴着遮阳帽，谁也不会想到在比赛开始前兴高采烈地走进球场的人不是乔。尤其团队没有产生怀疑。他们对每个队员都大喊大叫。当他们看到乔西时，他们跺着脚高唱：

“Here’s Joe—Joe—Joe!

“乔来了！

Now the game will go—go—go!”

现在比赛开始！”

Thrills ran up and down Josie’s back. She had never dreamed of anything so delightful³. “I’ve got to make it go. I have to,” she resolved. “If I play poorly, and the boys find out, they will tease me forever and ever.”

乔西的后背上一阵一阵地震颤。她做梦也没想到会有这么令人愉快的事。“我得走了。我必须，”她解决了这件事。“如果我打得不好，孩子们发现了，他们会永远取笑我。”
