第二部分 TEXT
An ancient bus stopped by a dry river bed and a party of famous actors and actresses got off. Dressed in dark glasses and old clothes, they had taken special precautions so that no one should recognize them. But as they soon discovered, disguises can sometimes be too perfect.
‘This is a wonderful place for a picnic,'said Gloria Gleam.
‘It couldn't be better, Gloria,'Brinksley Meers agreed.‘No newspaper men, no film fans! Why don't we come more often?'
Meanwhile, two other actors, Rockwall Slinger and Merlin Greeves, had carried two large food baskets to a shady spot under some trees. When they had all made themselves comfortable, a stranger appeared. He looked very angry.‘Now you get out of here, all of you!'he shouted.‘I'm sheriff here.
Do you see that notice? It says"No Camping"---- in case you can't read!'
‘Look, sheriff,'said Rockwall,‘don't be too hard on us. I'm Rockwall Slinger and this is Merlin Greeves.'
‘Oh, is it?'said the sheriff with a sneer.‘Well, I'm Brinksley Meers, and my other name is Gloria you get out of here fast!'
參考譯文
一輛古舊的汽車停在一條幹涸的河牀邊，一羣著名男女演員下了車。他們戴着墨鏡，穿着舊衣裳，特別小心以防別人認出他們。但他們很快就發覺，化裝的效果有時過分完美了。
"在這個地方野餐簡直是太妙了，"格洛利亞·格利姆說。
"是再好不過的了，格洛利亞。"布林克斯利·米爾斯表示同意，"沒有記者，沒有影迷！我們爲什麼不經常來這裏呢？"
此時，另外兩位演員，羅克沃爾·斯林格和默林·格里夫斯，已經把兩個大食品籃子提到了一片樹蔭下。當他們都已安排舒適時，一個陌生人出現了。他看上去非常氣憤。"你們都從這裏走開，全都走開！"他大叫着，"我是這裏的司法長官。你們看到那個布告牌了嗎？上面寫着‘禁止野營'--除非你們不識字！"
"好了，好了，司法官，"羅克沃爾說，"別使我們難堪。我是羅克沃爾·斯林格，這位是默林·格里夫斯。"
"噢，是嗎？"那位司法長官冷笑一聲說道，"好，我就是布林克斯利·米爾斯。我還有一個名字叫格洛利亞·格利姆。現在你們趕快滾吧！"
