A Mother's Day Wish
母亲节的愿望
“I can't think of a better way to celebrate Mother's Day than a trip to the zoo,” said Mom.
妈妈说：“我想不出比去动物园玩更好的方法来庆祝母亲节。”
“Wow, look!” cried Indi. “The mommy elephant is giving the baby a bath.”
“哇哦，看！”Indi哭着说，“大象妈妈在给小象宝宝洗澡。”
“Aww,” said Arizona. “I wish we could have a baby elephant as a pet.”
“啊呜” Arizona说，“我想养一只小象宝宝做宠物。”
“I wouldn't want a pet elephant,” said Mom. “But I would like to have a trunk. I could get the backyard watered without even turning on the garden hose!”
“我可不想要一只大象做宠物，”妈妈说，“但我想要一个象鼻，这样我就不用打开花园里的水管浇水了！”
“If I had a trunk,” said Dad, “I'd get the dinner dishes washed in a snap!”
“如果我有一个象鼻，”爸爸说，“我可以把晚餐时的盘子洗干净！”
“I'd use my trunk to spray my friends on hot days! ” said Indi.
“在炎热的日子里我可以喷我的朋友们！”Indi说。
“If I had a trunk, I'd be a firefighter,” said Tex.
“如果我有一个象鼻，我想做一个消防员。”Tex说。
“Well, one thing's for sure,” said Mom. “If we had trunks, we wouldn't need masks for Halloween ! ”
“好吧，有一件事可以确认。”妈妈说，“如果我们都有了象鼻，我们就不需要万圣节的面具啦！”
“That gives me an idea,” said Dad. “Wait here! ”
“我有一个想法。”爸爸说，“等一下！”
Dad popped into the gift store. Soon he was back with masks for the whole family.
“Why wait for Halloween when we can be elephants on Mother's Day! ”
爸爸跑进礼品店。不一会儿，他给全家带了面具。
“我们为什么要等到万圣节，母亲节我们就可以变成大象啊！”
