斯图亚特在房间里搜寻了一下，想找个能向雪球证明他有更结实的腹肌的方法。

He spied the drawn¹ window shade on the east window, with its shade cord and ring, like a trapeze, and it gave him an idea.

他瞥见了东边的窗帘，发现那系着圆环的窗帘绳就像一种秋千一样，便有了一个主意。

Climbing to the windowsill he took off his hat and laid down his cane².

于是他爬上窗台，脱下他的帽子，放下他的手杖。

"You can't do this," he said to the cat. And he ran and jumped onto the ring, the way acrobats³ do in a circus, meaning to pull himself up.

"你做不了这个，"他对那只猫说着，跑过去跳上那圆环，就像在杂技场里的艺人一样，抓着圆环往前荡。

A surprising thing happened.

一件令人吃惊的事情发生了。

Stuart had taken such a hard jump that it started the shade: with a loud snap the shade flew up clear to the top of the window, dragging Stuart along with it and rolling him up inside, so that he couldn't budge⁴.

由于斯图亚特跳得过猛，所以随着一声炸响，窗帘摆到了窗子的最上面，把斯图亚特也卷了进去，裹在里面动也不能动了。

"Holy mackerel!" said Snowbell, who was almost as surprised as Stuart Little.

"多么可怕的龙卷风！"雪球说着，吃惊地看着斯图亚特?利特尔。

I guess that will teach him to show off his muscles.

我想那会让他明白，炫耀他的肌肉的后果是什么。

"Help! Let me out!" cried Stuart, who was frightened and bruised⁵ inside the rolled-up shade, and who could hardly breathe.

"救我！让我出去！"被窗帘打青的，几乎不能呼吸的斯图亚特害怕地叫起来。

But his voice was so weak that nobody heard. Snowbell just chuckled⁶.

可是他的声音太小了，没有人能听到。雪球只是在喵喵地笑。
