One of the new boys who had never been to camp before stood up.

一个以前从没参加过夏令营的新生站了起来。
"Mr. Brickle," he said, "why is this camp called Camp Kookooskoos?
“布里克先生,”他说,“为什么这个夏令营叫库库斯库斯夏令营?
What does Kookooskoos mean?"
库库斯库斯是什么意思?”
"It's an Indian name for the Great Horned Owl," replied Mr. Brickle.
“这是大雕枭的印第安名字。”布里克先生回答。
The new boy thought about this for a minute.
这个新生想了一分钟。
"Then why didn't you just call it Camp Great Horned Owl instead of Camp Kookooskoos?"
“那么这个夏令营为什么不叫大雕枭夏令营,却叫库库斯库斯夏令营?”
"Because," replied Mr. Brickle, "a boys' camp should have a peculiar name;
“因为,”布里克先生回答,“‘一个男孩子的’夏令营应该有一个奇特的名字;
otherwise it doesn't sound interesting.
要不听起来就没劲了。
Kookooskoos is a terrific name.
库库斯库斯可是个非常棒的名字。
It is a long word, but it has only three letters in it.
这是一个很长的单词,但却只由三个字母构成。
It has two s's, three k's, and six o's.
这个词里有两个‘S ’,三个‘K ’,六个‘O ’。
You don't find many names as kooky as that.
你不会找到太多名字像它这么乖僻的词的。
The queerer the name, the better the camp.
名字越古怪,夏令营就越吸引人。

Anyway, welcome to Camp Kookooskoos.

用一句话说,就是欢迎你到库库斯库斯夏令营来做客。
It rhymes with moose--that's another good thing about it.
