027 与凯尔谈话

旁白 neutral

" So Lauren wasn't the one who dumped the frogs back in the pool," Maggie said

“那么劳伦不是把青蛙倒回泳池的那个人，”麦琪说。

旁白 neutral

" But that doesn't mean she didn't do the other stuff

“但这并不意味着她没有做其他事情。

旁白 neutral

Like put the frogs in the pool the first time. Or put ants on Daisy's towel."

像是第一次把青蛙放进泳池。或者把蚂蚁放在黛西的毛巾上。”

旁白 neutral

" True," Henry agreed

“没错，”亨利同意道。

旁白 neutral

" But why would she do that to Daisy?

“但她为什么要对黛西那样做呢？

旁白 neutral

Did Daisy say something about her looking young too?"

黛西是不是也说了她看起来很年轻？”

旁白 neutral

" I don't think so," Cole said

“我不这么认为，”科尔说。

旁白 neutral

" Then Lauren probably didn't do the ant prank either," Henry said

“那么劳伦很可能也没有搞蚂蚁恶作剧，”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" Let's talk about our other suspects."

“我们讨论一下其他嫌疑人吧。”

旁白 neutral

" You mean Kyle and Tommy?" Maggie asked

“你是说凯尔和汤米？”麦琪问。

旁白 neutral

" I still don't think Tommy did it," Cole said." He's my friend."

“我还是不认为是汤米干的，”科尔说，“他是我的朋友。”

旁白 neutral

" Okay," Henry said." But he does have a good motive

“好吧，”亨利说，“不过他确实有很好的动机。

旁白 neutral

If you get kicked out of tryouts, he has a better chance of making the team."

如果你被淘汰出选拔赛，他就有更大机会进入队伍。”

旁白 neutral

" It didn't seem like he really cares about making the team," Maggie said

“看起来他并不真的在乎进不进队，”麦琪说。

旁白 neutral

" Don't forget that his brother is a star," Henry said

“别忘了他的哥哥是个明星球员，”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" What if Tommy cares more about the team than he's showing?

“如果汤米比表现出来的更在乎这支队伍呢？

旁白 neutral

And it would be easy for him to get the frogs from his parents' pet store."

而且从他父母的宠物店弄到青蛙对他来说很容易。”

旁白 neutral

Maggie's eyes lit up." Plus Tommy was the one who gave Daisy that towel

麦琪眼睛一亮。“而且汤米就是给黛西那条毛巾的人。

旁白 neutral

He might have poured grape drink on it, and then dragged it through an anthill."

他可能把葡萄饮料倒在上面，然后拖着它穿过蚂蚁窝。”

旁白 neutral

" That doesn't sound like something Tommy would do," Cole said

“那可不像是汤米会做的事，”科尔说。

旁白 neutral

" Aren't there any other suspects?"

“没有其他嫌疑人了吗？”

旁白 neutral

" Sure," Henry said

“当然有。”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" The other two people with good motives are Kyle and Daisy."

“另外两个有充分动机的人是凯尔和黛西。”

旁白 neutral

" Daisy?" Maggie said." But she's the one who got attacked by ants!"

“黛西？”麦琪说，“可她是被蚂蚁袭击的那个人啊！”

旁白 neutral

" She could have set that up herself," Henry said

“她可能是自己安排的。”亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" That way nobody would suspect her of the frog prank."

“这样就没有人会怀疑她搞了青蛙恶作剧。”

旁白 neutral

" Maybe." Cole looked unsure." It doesn't seem very likely though

“也许吧。”科尔看起来不太确定，“不过，这似乎不太可能。”

旁白 neutral

She almost got bitten. And ant bites really hurt."

她差点被咬到。而且蚂蚁咬人真的很疼。”

旁白 neutral

Just then Lauren wandered past." Hey," she said, pointing at Cole

就在这时，劳伦溜达着经过。“嘿，”她指着科尔说。

旁白 neutral

" Aren't you supposed to be the frog expert around here?"

“你不是应该在这片儿当青蛙专家吗？”

旁白 neutral

He nodded

他点了点头。

旁白 neutral

" Then help catch those frogs!"

“那就帮忙抓青蛙呀！”

旁白 neutral

" Okay." Cole waved to his friends and swam away

“好吧。”科尔朝朋友们挥挥手，游走了。

旁白 neutral

" I guess Lauren knows that Cole likes frogs," Maggie said to Henry

“我猜劳伦知道科尔喜欢青蛙。”麦琪对亨利说。

旁白 neutral

" Are you sure she's not the culprit?"

“你确定她不是捣乱的人吗？”

旁白 neutral

Maggie's voice was pretty loud

麦琪的声音相当大。

旁白 neutral

Henry didn't want everyone to hear them talking, so he led her over to the playground

亨利不想让大家听见他们的谈话，于是把她带到了游乐场那边。

旁白 neutral

The two of them sat down on the swings

两人在秋千上坐了下来。

旁白 neutral

" I'm pretty sure," Henry told Maggie

“我相当确定。”亨利告诉麦琪。

旁白 neutral

" Lauren had no reason to make those ants swarm Daisy."

“劳伦没有理由让那些蚂蚁聚集到黛西身上。”

旁白 neutral

" What if the ant prank was just a coincidence?" Maggie asked

“蚂蚁恶作剧会不会只是巧合？”麦琪问道。

旁白 neutral

" Maybe Tiny spilled grape juice on his towel, and then Tommy dragged it through an anthill without noticing."

“也许小不点把葡萄汁洒在了毛巾上，然后汤米没注意，拖着毛巾碾过了一个蚁丘。”

旁白 neutral

" It's possible," Henry said." But I'm still pretty sure about Lauren

“有可能，”亨利说，“但我还是很确信劳伦有问题。

旁白 neutral

She couldn't have dumped the frog buckets while she was jogging behind the pool building."

她不可能一边在泳池楼后面慢跑，一边把青蛙倒进泳池。”

旁白 neutral

" I guess that's true." Maggie said

“那倒也是。”麦琪说。

旁白 neutral

" It had to be one of the joggers who finished first

“动手的肯定是那几个最先跑完的人之一。

旁白 neutral

Who's the fastest runner out of our suspects?"

我们的嫌疑人里，谁跑得最快？”

旁白 neutral

" Probably Kyle," Henry said." He was on the track team at school."

“可能是凯尔，”亨利说，“他在学校是田径队的。”

旁白 neutral

" And we saw him with a grape sports drink," Maggie said

“而且我们看到过他在喝葡萄味运动饮料。”麦琪说。

旁白 neutral

" Plus we know he really wants the spot on the swim team

“再加上我们知道他真的很想要泳队的位置。

旁白 neutral

He has to be the culprit!"

他肯定就是那个捣蛋鬼！

旁白 neutral

" We have to be able to prove it's Kyle," Henry reminded her

“我们得能证明是凯尔干的，”亨利提醒她。

旁白 neutral

" Let's go talk to him and see what we can find out."

“我们去和他谈谈，看看能发现什么。”

旁白 neutral

They found Kyle chasing a frog in the pool

他们发现凯尔正在泳池里追一只青蛙。

旁白 neutral

" Hi, Kyle," Henry greeted him

“嗨，凯尔，”亨利跟他打了个招呼。

旁白 neutral

" Can you believe those frogs got in the water again?"

“你能相信那些青蛙又跑到水里来了吗？”

旁白 neutral

" I can't believe it!" Kyle said." Your friend Cole is a troublemaker

“我简直不敢相信！”凯尔说。“你的朋友科尔真是个捣蛋鬼。

旁白 neutral

I hope the coach kicks him out this time!"

我希望教练这次就把他开除！”

旁白 neutral

Maggie scowled." Cole didn't do it!"

麦琪皱起了眉头。“不是科尔干的！”

旁白 neutral

" That's not what everybody else says."

“别人可不是这么说的。”

旁白 neutral

Kyle grinned and puffed out his chest

凯尔咧嘴笑着，挺起了胸膛。

旁白 neutral

" Once Cole's gone, that spot on the team will be all mine!"

“等科尔一走，队里的那个位置就是我的了！”

旁白 neutral

Henry traded a look with Maggie

亨利和麦琪交换了一个眼神。

旁白 neutral

He could tell they were thinking the same thing. Kyle sounded guilty!

他能看出他们想到一块儿去了。凯尔听起来很有嫌疑！

旁白 neutral

" You're a chicken, Kyle!" Maggie said angrily

“你是个胆小鬼，凯尔！”麦琪生气地说。

旁白 neutral

" You're afraid Cole will beat you."

“你怕科尔会打败你。”

旁白 neutral

" No way," Kyle said." I'm not afraid of anybody!

“没门儿，”凯尔说。“我谁都不怕！

旁白 neutral

Having Cole out of the way just makes it easier

把科尔弄走，事情只会更简单。

旁白 neutral

Maybe he should take some of these frogs home with him so they can teach him how to swim."

也许他该带几只青蛙回家，让它们教教他怎么游泳。”

旁白 neutral

Kyle laughed loudly, as if that was the funniest thing anyone had ever said

凯尔大声笑起来，好像那是人们说过的最好笑的话。

旁白 neutral

But Henry frowned

但亨利皱起了眉头。

旁白 neutral

" What do you mean?" he asked Kyle." Cole already has a bunch of pet frogs."

“你什么意思？”他问凯尔。“科尔本来就有很多宠物青蛙。”

旁白 neutral

" Really?" Kyle looked surprised

“真的吗？”凯尔看起来很惊讶。

旁白 neutral

" So that's why John called Cole ' frog boy.'"

“所以这就是为什么约翰叫科尔‘青蛙男孩’。”

旁白 neutral

Henry was still watching Kyle closely." You didn't know that Cole has frogs?"

亨利依旧紧盯着凯尔。“你不知道科尔养了青蛙？”

旁白 neutral

Kyle shrugged." I don't pay much attention to fifth-grade nerds," he said

凯尔耸耸肩。“我可不太注意五年级的书呆子，”他说。

旁白 neutral

" Speaking of which, why am I standing here talking to you?"

“说起来，我干嘛站在这儿跟你们聊天？”

旁白 neutral

He smirked and then swam away

他得意地笑了笑，然后游走了。

旁白 neutral

" What a jerk," Maggie muttered

“真是个混蛋，”麦琪咕哝道。

旁白 neutral

" He might be a jerk," Henry said." But he's definitely not our culprit."

“他也许是个混蛋，”亨利说。“但他肯定不是我们要找的那个捣蛋鬼。”
