CHAPTER 4-2
Abuelita smothered Miguel with kisses as the adults exited.
大人们走出了房间,奶奶亲吻着米格的脸颊,他差点儿透不过气来。
Miguel stole a look at the ofrenda, where Dante and his guitar were hidden. Miguel was shocked to see Dante eating the ofrenda offerings!
米格偷偷看了一眼灵坛,丹丹和他的吉他还藏在那儿呢。这时,他惊讶地看到丹丹竟然在偷吃灵坛上的祭品!
“No, Dante—stop!”
“不,丹丹!别吃了!”
As Miguel pulled the dog away from the ofrenda, the table shook, and the frame holding Mamá Imelda's old photo swayed back and forth.
米格急忙把狗拉离灵坛,与此同时,桌子剧烈地晃动起来,放着梅尔达老照片的相框前后摇摆。
Miguel watched in horror as the frame toppled over and hit the floor with a sickening crack.
米格惊恐地看着相框从台子上掉下来,砸在地板上,发出了一声巨响。
Miguel rushed to pick it up, but it fell apart, leaving him holding only the photo of Mamá Imelda and Coco. “No, no, no!” he moaned.
他连忙冲过去捡,但是相框已经碎了。他握着梅尔达和可可的合影,呜咽道:“不,不,不!”
Miguel studied the photo and noticed that another part of it had been folded back and hidden.
米格端详着这张照片,发现照片的一部分竟然被折到后面,藏了起来。
He unfolded it and saw the body of a man who could only be his great-great-grandfather, standing next to Mamá Imelda, holding a skull guitar.
他把它展开,看到梅尔达身边站着一个男人,拿着一把骷髅头吉他,这准是他的曾曾爷爷。
The man's face had been torn from the photo. Miguel couldn't believe the coincidence. The guitar was just like Ernesto de la Cruz's!
但是男人的脸已经被撕掉了。米格不敢相信天底下竟然有这么巧的事。这把吉他和歌神德拉库斯的那把简直一模一样。
Miguel gasped. “Ernesto's guitar?”
米格倒吸一口冷气。“歌神的吉他?”
Just then, Mamá Coco stirred awake. “Papá?” she said. Mamá Coco pointed a crooked f inger at the picture in his hand. “Papá?”
这时,可可被吵醒了。“爸爸?”她伸出一根弯曲的手指,指着米格手里的照片,问:“爸爸?”
Miguel's eyes widened. He stepped closer to her. “Mamá Coco, is your papá Ernesto de la Cruz?”
米格睁大了眼睛,走到她身边。“太奶奶,您爸爸是歌神德拉库斯吗?”
“Papá! Papá!” she called louder now.
“爸爸!爸爸!”她叫得更大声了。
Miguel rushed to his rooftop hideout. He grabbed Ernesto de la Cruz's album from his ofrenda. He examined the guitar on the album cover and compared it to the guitar in Mamá Imelda's photo. It was an exact match! Could it be true?
米格冲到阁楼上的秘密基地,从灵坛上抓起歌神德拉库斯的专辑。他仔细比对专辑封面上的吉他和梅尔达照片里的吉他。一模一样!这是真的吗?
“Ha, ha!” Miguel exclaimed. He ran to the edge of the roof and proudly hoisted the picture and album cover.
“哈,哈!”米格高喊。他跑到屋顶边,骄傲地举着照片和专辑封面。
“Papá! Papá!” Miguel yelled to his dad in the courtyard below. His parents looked up at him. “It's him! I know who my great-great-grandfather was!”
“爸爸!爸爸!”米格朝站在庭院里的爸爸喊道。他的父母抬起头看着米格。“是他!我知道我的曾曾爷爷是谁了!”
Miguel's mom gave him a stern look. “Miguel! Get down from there!”
米格的妈妈狠狠地瞪了他一眼。“米格!快给我下来!”
“Mamá Coco's father was Ernesto de la Cruz!”
“太奶奶的爸爸是歌神德拉库斯!”
“What are you talking about?” Miguel's father asked.
“你在说什么?”米格的爸爸问。
Miguel whipped off his shoemaker's apron and struck a pose. “I'm gonna be a musician!”
米格一把扯下肩上鞋匠的围裙,摆出一个姿势。“我要成为一名音乐家!”
