21

I decided we were gonna have to dip into the other bag of gummy worms to make the scene work. But when I opened the door to the laundry room, I got a nasty surprise. I was trying to figure out what to do with the pig when I heard Rowley screaming in the kitchen. So I ran out to see what was wrong.

我决定我们得从另一袋蠕虫软糖里捞点东西来拍这一幕。 但是当我打开洗衣房的门时，我大吃一惊。 当我听到罗利在厨房里尖叫时，我正在想怎么处理那头猪。 所以我跑出去看看出了什么事。

A bunch of geese were going to TOWN on our gummy worms, so I opened the door to try to scare them off. But they wouldn't budge. Once the geese finished off the gummy worms, they wanted MORE. I closed the door, and me and Rowley hid under the kitchen table to try to figure out our next move.

一群鹅要去镇上吃我们的橡皮糖，所以我打开门想把它们吓跑。 但他们不肯让步。鹅吃完软糖蠕虫后，它们还想要更多。 我关上了门，我和罗利躲在厨房的桌子下面想办法下一步该怎么做。

I told Rowley the only thing geese are scared of are other ANIMALS. But before I could say another word, Rowley was at the window with Manny's See-and-Talk. PULL PULL PULL PULL DOG DOG DOG DOG Now the geese were pecking at the windows, and I was scared that if we didn't do something, they might actually break IN. That's when I remembered that the last time Rodrick went trick-or-treating, he wore this awful wolf mask, which was still down in the basement.

我告诉罗利鹅唯一害怕的就是其他动物。 但我还没来得及说话，罗利就在窗口拿着曼尼的“见面会”。 现在鹅在啄窗户，我很害怕，如果我们不做点什么，它们可能会闯进来。 这时我想起了罗德里克上次玩“不给糖就捣蛋”的时候，他戴着这个可怕的狼面具，现在还在地下室。

I figured if ANYTHING was gonna scare these geese off, it was THAT. Me and Rowley ran down to the furnace room to find the mask. The old Halloween costumes were in a box on the fourth shelf, so it was a two-man job to get it down. I got up on Rowley's shoulders and reached for the box, but when I DID I knocked a snow globe off the shelf. And when THAT happened, the WITCH went off. CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE

我想如果有什么能把这些鹅吓跑的话，那就是这个了。 我和罗利跑到炉房去找面具。 旧的万圣节服装在第四层架子上的一个盒子里，所以需要两个人把它搬下来。 我爬上罗利的肩膀，伸手去拿那个盒子，但当我伸手去拿的时候，我把架子上的一个雪花玻璃球碰掉了。 说完，女巫就走了。 咯咯笑，咯咯笑，咯咯笑

I grabbed on to the shelf, and the whole storage unit came crashing down. When the dust settled, we were both lucky to be ALIVE. Once Rowley got free, he shot out of the basement so fast, I think he might've actually taken the stairs FOUR at a time. And once he got out of the house, Rowley didn't STOP. He climbed halfway up the big tree on the side of the house, and that's where I found him, babbling nonsense. I tried to talk him into coming down, but he wouldn't budge. So I got a tennis racket and some balls and tried to KNOCK him down, but that only made him climb HIGHER.

我抓住架子，整个储物柜就轰然倒塌了。 尘埃落定后，我们都幸运地活了下来。 罗利一逃出来，就飞快地冲出了地下室，我想他可能一次爬了四层楼梯。 一旦他走出房子，罗利就没有停下来。 他爬到房子边上那棵大树的半山腰上，我就是在那里发现他的，嘴里还在胡言乱语。 我试图说服他下来，但他不肯让步。 所以我拿了网球拍和一些球，想把他打倒，但这只会让他爬得更高。

Unfortunately for me, that's the moment Dad came home. Wednesday It's been a pretty crazy couple of weeks since me and Rowley made our movie. I've been too busy to keep up with my journal, because Dad has had me working in the furnace room every night sorting through all the stuff that fell off the shelves.

不幸的是，就在那时，爸爸回家了。 自从我和罗利拍完电影后，这几周真是太疯狂了。 我太忙了，没时间写日记，因为爸爸每天晚上都让我在炉房里整理从架子上掉下来的东西。
