第1段
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?''
一辆老爷巴士停在一条干涸的河床边，一群著名男女演员下了车。 他们戴着墨镜，穿着旧衣裳，特别小心以防别人认出他们。但他们很快就发觉，化装的效果有时过分完美了。 [2]“在这个地方野餐简直太妙了，”格洛里亚·格利姆说。 [3]“是再好不过的了，格洛里亚。”布林克斯利·米尔斯表示同意， “没有记者，没有影迷！我们为什么不经常来这里呢？”
第2段
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 Gleam. Now you get out of here fast!''
此时，另外两位演员，罗克沃尔·斯林格和默林·格里夫斯，已经把两个大食品篮子提到了一片树阴下。当他们都已安顿舒适后，一个陌生人出现了。 他看上去怒气冲冲。“你们都从这里走开，全都走开！”他大叫着，“我是这里的警长。你们看到那个告示牌了吗？上面写着‘禁止野营’——怕你们不识字，我给你们念一遍！” [5]“警长，您看这样怎么样，”罗克沃尔说，“请您高抬贵手。我是罗克沃尔·斯林格，这位是默林·格里夫斯。” [6]“噢，是吗？”警长冷笑一声说道，“这么说来，我还是布林克斯利·米尔斯呢。我还是格洛里亚·格利姆呢。现在你们赶快滚吧！”
