11 Ch11-How to Stuff Stuff

Chapter 11 How to Stuff Stuff We slinked around some more, and then I came up with the greatest idea in the history of the world. "Hey!" I said. "Let's see what's in The Secret Room!" "A.J., you're a genius!" Michael said Andrea and Emily said we would get in trouble. But me and Michael slinked over to The Secret Room, and the copycat sisters followed us. Michael put his hand on the doorknob. "Don't open that door!" I warned. "Why not?" "Because when you open a door to a scary place at night, a horrible creature is waiting to jump out and kill you," I told him. "I saw that in a movie once." "That's silly," Andrea said. She grabbed the knob and pulled open the door. You'll never believe in a million hundred years what was in The Secret Room. It was Ms. Krup! She was holding that wild yak fur.

我们又转了一圈，然后我想出了世界历史上最伟大的主意。 “嘿!”我说。“让我们看看密室里有什么!”“aj，你真是个天才!”迈克尔说安德里亚和艾米丽说我们会有麻烦。 但我和迈克尔偷偷溜进了密室，那两个模仿的姐妹跟着我们。 迈克尔把手放在门把手上。 “别打开那扇门!”我警告。 “为什么不?”“因为当你在晚上打开一扇通往恐怖地方的门时，一个可怕的生物正等着跳出来杀你，”我告诉他。 “我曾经在一部电影里看到过。” “那太愚蠢了，”安德烈说。 她抓住门把手，拉开了门。 你永远也不会相信密室里有什么。 是克鲁普女士!她手里拿着野牦牛毛。

"What are you kids doing here?" she asked. I didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to do, I had to think fast. "We're... uh... sleepwalking," I said. "All of you?" "It's dangerous to sleepwalk alone," I explained. "Are we in trouble?" asked Andrea, who I'm sure has never been in trouble in her whole life. "Of course not," Ms. Krup said. "You kids must love natural history, just like I do. When I was your age, I snuck into a zoo one night." People who sneak into zoos at night are weird. "You must be nocturnal," Michael said.

“你们这些孩子在这儿干什么?”她问。 我不知道该说什么。 我不知道该怎么办，我得赶紧想。 “我们…嗯…梦游，”我说。 “你们所有人?”“一个人梦游是很危险的，”我解释说。 “我们有麻烦了吗?”安德里亚问，我敢肯定她一生中从来没有遇到过麻烦。 “当然不是，”克鲁普说。 “你们这些孩子一定和我一样热爱自然历史。 我像你这么大的时候，有一天晚上我偷偷溜进了动物园。” 晚上溜进动物园的人很奇怪。 “你一定是夜猫子，”迈克尔说。

We looked around The Secret Room. There were heads and other parts of dead animals everywhere. It was creepy. "What is this place?" Emily asked. "This is where we prepare the animals," Ms. Krup told us. "You see, I'm a part-time taxidermist. Do you know what a taxidermist does?" "You drive people to the airport?" I guessed. "That's a taxi driver, dumbhead!" Andrea said. "Taxidermists mount animals for display." "Oh, yeah?" I told Andrea. "Well, maybe she mounts animals for display and then she drives them to the airport." Ha-ha-ha! In her face! That's why I'm in the gifted and talented program. Nah-nah-nah boo-boo on Andrea. "So, you stuff stuff?" Michael asked Ms. Krup. "The animals aren't stuffed," she told us. "The skin is mounted on its original skeleton, which is covered with wire and plaster. I try to make dead animals come to life." People who make dead animals come to life are weird. "Taxidermy is cool," said Andrea, the big brownnoser. "Hey," Ms. Krup said, "would you kids like to see a special exhibit I'm working on? It isn't even open to the public yet." "Sure!" we all said. "Follow me!" Ms. Krup led us down the hall to an unmarked door. She put a key in the lock. Then she turned the doorknob.

我们环视了一下密室。 到处都是死动物的头和其他部位。 这让人毛骨悚然。“这是什么地方?”艾米丽问。 “这是我们准备动物的地方。” 克鲁普告诉我们的。“你看，我是兼职标本剥制师。 你知道动物标本剥制师是做什么的吗?”“你开车送人去机场?”我猜到了。 “那是出租车司机，笨蛋!”安德里亚说。 “动物标本剥制师把动物装上去展示。” “哦,是吗?”我告诉了安德里亚。 “嗯，也许她把动物养起来展示，然后开车送它们去机场。” 哈哈哈!在她脸上!这就是为什么我参加了天才项目。 不不不，安德里亚。 “那么，你是在装东西吗?”迈克尔问道。 Krup。“这些动物不是填充的，”她告诉我们。 “皮肤被安装在原来的骨架上，骨架上覆盖着电线和石膏。 我试着让死去的动物复活。” 让死去的动物复活的人很奇怪。 “动物标本制作很酷，”大拍马屁者安德里亚说。 “嘿，”克鲁普女士说，“你们想看看我正在筹备的一个特别展览吗? 它甚至还没有向公众开放。” “当然!”我们都说。“跟我来!”Ms。 克鲁普领我们穿过大厅，来到一扇没有标记的门前。 她把钥匙插进锁里。 然后她转动门把手。

"Don't open that door!" I shouted. "Will you calm down, A.J.?" said Emily. Ms. Krup opened the door. There was a big sign on the wall. This is what it said: THE AMAZING WORLD OF POOP!

“别打开那扇门!”我叫道。 “你能冷静点吗，A.J.?”艾米丽说。 克鲁普女士打开了门。墙上有一个大牌子。 它是这样写的:神奇的便便世界!
