Dangerous trainers

Thud thud thud

（脚步声）噔

My big brother
’
s got some new trainers. He wears them all the time.
一
天到晚

Thud, thud, thud! When he runs upstairs in them
（穿着它们）

the whole
house
shakes
震动
.
Mum
shouts,
“

stop
that
noise!
”

别在那制造噪音
.
My
brother
’
s
new
trainers
are
big
and
puffy
圆鼓鼓的
and
purple.
They
’
ve got soles as thick as
鞋底厚的像

tractor tyres.
拖拉机外带

Clump, clump.
嗑啷

He
’
s clumping to his bedroom.
嗑啷嗑啷地走向卧
室
‘
gangway!
让开
’
he shouts. I have to squash myself against the wall
把
自己紧贴着墙上
,
so
my
feet
don
’
t
get
crushed
以免脚被踩扁
.
“
i
hate
your horrible
可怕的，恐怖的

trainers!
”
i tell him.
“
they
’
re dangerous.
’


But
he
just
clumps
downstairs
again.
Thud,
thud,
thud.
The
front
door
slams
碰地关上了
.
Thank
goodness
谢天谢地
-
he
’
s
gone
out.
It
’
s
nice
and peaceful now. I can lie here on the floor and read my book.

Stomp, stomp, stomp
咚咚
. The floor begins to tremble
颤抖
. Is a herd of
elephants
一群大象

heading
this
way
正朝这边走来
?
No,
it
’
s
the
new
trainers. Here they come again-like great, purple, crushing machines
碾压
机
.

“
mind my book
小心我的书
. You
’
re trampling on it!
踩上了
”


My big brother throws hisself into a chair.
屁股坐在椅子上

He props his
big purple feet up
翘起了他的大紫脚
on one another.
两脚交叉

“
i can
’
t see the telly
电视机

now! It
’
s my favourite programme.
最喜欢
的节目

Your
trainers
are
in
the
way!
挡道了
”
.
Mum
says:
“
those
new
trainers are a menace
祸害
! Take them off
脱掉

in the house.
”

But my brother says,
“
i love my new trainers. They are great, i am never
going to take them off ! Not ever!
永远不
”

“
then do up those dangly laces
把耷拉的鞋带系好
!
”

sighs
mum.
“
you
’
ll
break
your neck
摔死
!
”
.
But
my brother just clumps outside. His long laces dangle
耷拉
behind him.
And
his
monster
trainers
squash
碾碎
all
the
little
daisies
雏菊

on
the
grass.


I hate those new trainers. They should be banned
受到禁止
. My brother
even wants to go to bed in his new trainers. But mum says:
“
i
’
ve never
heard of anything so silly. Take them off.
”
. So he climbs up to his top
bunk bed
上铺
. He throws down
扔下
his new trainers. Whump, whump
哐
, so they land near my bottom bunk bed
下铺
.

Mum
switches
off
关掉了
our
light.
I
lie
in
the
dark
and
watch
the
dangerous
trainers.
They
seem
to
be
even
bigger
at
night.
They
’
ve
got
two
big
purple
tongues
that
stick
out
at
冲
...
伸出来

me
and
go
,
“
ya
boo.
”
. They
‘
ve got little eyes, like a spider. The eyes are watching me
back!
反过来望着我

The trainers are alive
是活的
.
“
don
’
t be silly,
”
i tell
myself. Trainers can
’
t be alive.
不可能是活的。


I close my eyes so i can
’
t see the trainers any more. Then i fall asleep
睡
着了
. But next morning, when i wake up, the trainers have moved
挪了位
置
.
There
’
s
no
doubt
about
it
毫无疑问
.
They
are
under
my
brother
’
s
computer desk now. And they are neatly side by side
整齐的并排放着
.
My
big
brother
didn
’
t
move
them
because
he
is
still
in
the
top
bunk,
snoring
打呼噜
. You have been out,
你们出去了一趟

haven
’
t you? I wag
my finger at
向
...
摇手指
the trainers.
“
when we were all asleep you went
out on your own
独自
, didn
’
t you?
”


But the trainers don
’
t say a word.
“
wait until tonight,
”
i warn
警告

them.
“
i didn
’
t see you go out last night because i fell asleep. But tonight i
’
ll
stay awake
醒着
. I
’
ll catch you, just wait and see.
”

The top bunk
’
s creaking
嘎吱作响
. My big brother
’
s waking up.




A life of their own
“
your trainers are alive,
”
i tell him.
“
they go out at night on their own,
without
you.
You
know
those
little
metal
holes
金属眼
where
you
put
your
laces?
Well,
they
aren
’
t
lace
holes
鞋带眼
.
They
’
re
eyes.
Your
trainers
have
got
lots
of
eyes,
like
spiders.
Did
you
know
that?
And
they
’
ve got big slurpy
说话声咕噜咕噜的

purple tongues.
”


But my brother just groans
嘟囔抱怨
,
“
you do talk a load of rubbish!
你真
是胡说八道
”

Then
he
turns
over
翻过身去

and
goes
back
to
sleep.
Those trainers are getting me really mad
气的我发疯
. They
’
re wrecking
毁坏

my things. Today i found my crayons
蜡笔
mashed into the carpet
被踩碎在地毯里。
.

“
you
shouldn
’
t
have
left
them
on
the
floor,
你本不应该把他放在地上
”

said my brother.
But i bet
敢说
those trainers did it. Clump, clump, clump. You can
’
t get
away from them
摆脱
. You can hear them all over the house
整个屋子
.
“
who squashed
踩压

this chewing gum
口香糖

into the carpet?
”
shouts
mum.
“
it
’
s these trainers,
”
says my big brother.
“
i haven
’
t got used to
穿惯了
them
yet.
”

they
’
re
so
big
and
heavy
i
can
’
t
control
them.
They
keep
treading on things
总是踩到东西
!
“
don
’
t be silly,
”
says mum.
“
it
’
s your
fault,
not
your
trainers.
You
’
re
talking
as
if
your
trainers
have
a
life of
their own
自己有生命
.
”

Mum doesn
’
t know it. But she
’
s exactly right. Those trainers do have a
life of their own. They have a secret life
过着一种秘密生活
. They go out
at night, on their
own
自行其是
,
when
we
’
re
all
asleep.
They
must do,
mustn
’
t
they?
How
else
否则

could
they
be
in
a
different
place
by
morning?
Tonight i
’
m going to prove it. I
’
m going to prove it. I
’
m going to follow
those trainers and see where they go. I
’
m going to spy on
监视

them.

It
’
s night time. It must be very late because the house is quiet. Mum and
dad are in bed. But i
’
m not asleep. I
’
m watching those trainers, like i said
i would
就像我说的那样
.

It
’
s hard work. My eyes keep closing
眼皮直打架
.
“
don
’
t fall asleep!
”
i
whisper
悄悄说

to myself.
“
stay awake!
”
打起精神
