" I'll name you... Stellaluna, " she crooned.

“我会给你命名… … Stellaluna，”她低声说道。

Stellaluna behaved as a good bird should.

星星表现得像一只好鸟。

Except for one thing: Stellaluna still liked to sleep hanging by her feet.

除了一件事：斯特拉露娜仍然喜欢趴在脚边睡觉。

The dark leafy tangle of branches caught Stellaluna as she fell.

当斯特拉露娜跌倒时，深色茂密的树枝缠住了她。

" I'm just like them, " thought Stellaluna.

“我就像他们一样，”斯特拉露娜想。

One by one, Pip, Flitter, Flap, and Stellaluna jumped from the nest.

皮普、菲丽特、弗拉普和星黛露娜一一从鸟巢里跳了出来。

One twig was small enough for Stellaluna's tiny feet.

一根树枝足够小，足以容纳斯特拉鲁娜的小脚。

Each night, Mother Bat would carry Stellaluna clutched to her breast... as she flew out to search for food.

每天晚上，蝙蝠妈妈都会把星黛露娜抱在胸前… … 当她飞出去寻找食物时。

I will fly all day, Stellaluna told herself.

我会飞一整天，斯特拉露娜告诉自己。

The next day, Pip, Flitter, Flap, and Stellaluna went flying far from home.

第二天，Pip、Flitter、Flap 和 Stellaluna 飞离家很远。

But Stellaluna had flown far ahead, and was nowhere to be seen.

但星黛露娜已经飞到了很远的前方，根本就看不见了。

Stellaluna quickly clambered from the nest, and hung out of sight below it.

星黛露娜迅速从巢穴中爬出，悬在巢穴下方看不见的地方。

Dodging and shrieking, Mother Bat tried to escape, but the owl struck again and again, knocking Stellaluna into the air.

蝙蝠妈妈尖叫着躲开，试图逃跑，但猫头鹰一次又一次地攻击，将斯特拉鲁纳撞到了空中。

Stellaluna landed headfirst in a soft, downy nest, startling the three baby birds who lived there.

星黛露娜头朝下落在一个柔软的、毛茸茸的鸟巢里，吓坏了住在那里的三只小鸟。

Today we're going to read the book " Stellaluna, " by Janell Cannon.

今天我们要读贾内尔·坎农 (Janell Cannon) 所著的《Stellaluna》一书。

" I promised not to hang by my feet, " Stellaluna sighed.

“我答应过不会被我的脚吊死，”斯特拉露娜叹了口气。

Stellaluna learned to be like the birds.

星黛露娜学会了像鸟儿一样。

Stellaluna was terribly hungry - but not for the crawly things Mama Bird brought.

斯特拉露娜非常饿——但不是为了鸟妈妈带来的爬行的东西。

All alone, Stellaluna flew and flew until her wings ached and she dropped into a tree.

斯特拉露娜孤身一人飞呀飞，直到她的翅膀发痛，摔在一棵树上。

" Why are you hanging upside down? " Stellaluna's eyes opened wide.

“你为什么倒挂着？”斯特拉露娜睁大了眼睛。
