A Talking Bookcase 會說話的書櫃

Freddy搬家的時候收到了一個二手書櫃，這個書櫃裝著所有他最喜歡的書，某一天，一直靜靜在角落的書櫃突然說話了

Freddy, a ten-year-old boy, brought all his books when he moved to his new house.
Freddy，一個十歲的小男孩，搬新家時把他的舊書帶了進來。

His parents bought him a second-hand bookcase to accommodate his beloved books.
他的父母買了一個二手書櫃給他，來裝他最喜歡的書。

It was an ordinary-looking black bookcase.
這是一個看起來再普通不過的黑色書櫃。

When little Freddy put his favorite science-fiction books and comic books onto the shelves, he heard a strange sound from the bookcase.
當Freddy把他最愛的科幻小說和漫畫放到書架上時，他聽到書櫃發出了奇怪的聲音。

“Ah, I have not seen so many new books in years,” The bookcase said – and it sounded excited!
「啊！我好多年沒見到這麼多新書啦！」書櫃說話了——好像還很興奮！

Freddy couldn’t believe his ears and turned around: “What?! Are you talking to me?”
Freddy不能相信自己的耳朵，轉過身來： 「什麼？！你是在跟我說話嗎？ 」

“Yes, sorry to have shocked you. I usually keep silent, but I’m too excited today.”
「 是的，對不起嚇到你了。我平時都保持沉默的，但我今天太興奮了。」

 “Wow, a talking bookcase! It’s like science fiction! You’re much cooler than a talking robot,” Freddy said, curiously looking at the bookcase.
「哇，一個會說話的書櫃！跟科幻小說裡寫得一樣！你比會說話的機器人酷多了。」Freddy說道，好奇地打量著書櫃。

 “Hmm, I’ve had a glance over all your books here, and it seems that you have great taste in books,” the bookcase replied, as if it knew everything.
「嗯，剛剛看了一下你的書，好像你對書的品味很不錯呦。」書櫃回答，好像什麼都知道。

“How do you know that?” Freddy was even more curious.
「你怎麼知道？」Freddy更加好奇了。

 “I’m 50 years old, and have shelved hundreds of thousands of books. I can read very fast,” the bookcase said.
「我50歲啦，書架上擺過成千上萬的書。我閱讀的速度很快喔。」書櫃回答。

 “Wow, even cooler. I haven’t even read all my books yet.
「哇，更酷了。我還沒讀完自己所有的書呢。

Since you can read so fast, can you tell me the stories so that I do not need to turn the pages?” Freddy said.
既然你能讀這麼快，可以直接把故事講給我聽嗎？這樣我就不用翻頁了。」

Dear children, maybe our talking bookcase will tell you a story next time.
親愛的孩子們，下一次，會說話的書櫃可能會給你講個故事哦。

Now, go to bed and sweet dreams.
現在，上床睡覺，做個好夢吧。
