If you could go anywhere you could dream of, where would it be?Where the wild things are 野兽出没的地方The night Max wore his wolf suit and made mischief of one kind and another.
那天晚上，麦克斯穿上他的狼服，做了一个又一个恶作剧。
小编注：恶作剧除了mischief大家还能想到什么说法呢？ 常见的说法还有play a joke/trick。 而这里trick的就是万圣节时小孩上门要糖都会说的“trick or treat”不给糖就捣乱。his mother called him "wild thing!"and Max said "I'll eat you up!"
妈妈骂他：“野兽！”麦克斯说：“我要吃掉你！”小编注：eat up 的意思是吃完，吃光。例如：You can eat up the rest of the food. 这里直接说I‘ll eat you up 而不是I’ll eat you就表现了MAX野性的那一面。so he was sent to bed without eating anything.结果妈妈没让他吃晚饭，把他关到了房间里。That very night in Max's room a forest grew and grew-
正是在那天晚上，麦克斯的房间里长出了一片树林。长啊长...
小编注：very 在这里作为一个强调的作用，表示正是那一天晚上
and grew until his ceiling hung with vines直到天花板上挂满了葡萄藤
and the walls became the world all around墙壁消失在了世界的边缘and an ocean tumbled by with a private boat for Max海上漂来了一艘小船
and he sailed off through night and day他日夜航行

这个故事非常适合我家调皮的豆宝，几乎就是家里捣蛋鬼的翻版，可以跟孩子一起把这本绘本一读再读。
单词解晰：
1.vine:爬藤，葡萄藤。ivy常春藤，这个单词可以与white,whine.wine一起记忆，白种人whiter报怨whine酒wine太少了，这总要是因为今年的葡萄藤vine没有长好。
2.tame：驯服的，可以与name,fame一起记忆.为了祖先的名字name和声望fame，驯服tame他（T）。
