火箭女孩 · Rocket Girl
4. Ice Cream
4. 冰淇淋
Freddy Friis pulled the trigger of the big Friis blaster. Nothing happened. Drat! said Freddy. I used up all the Friis power dealing with that pesky rocket girl. But never mind her. I need to get more ice cream. I have a lot of banks to rob today. Roxy finally stopped sliding when she reached the bottom of the hill.
弗莱迪·弗里斯扣下了那把大弗里斯冷冻枪的扳机。 什么反应都没有。 “可恶!”弗莱迪说。 对付那个烦人的火箭女孩,把我所有的弗里斯能量都用光了。 不过管她呢,我得去弄更多冰淇淋。 我今天还有好多家冰淇淋店要抢呢。 罗克西滑到山脚下的时候终于停了下来。
Phew! she said standing up. Roxy flew back to the top of the hill. Freddy was gone. Freddy must have gone to get more ice cream, thought Roxy. He already robbed Dairy Dream! What other place in Metro City has a lot of ice cream?
“呼!”她站起身说道。罗克西飞回了山顶。 弗莱迪已经不见了。 弗莱迪肯定是去弄更多冰淇淋了, 罗克西心想。他已经抢过“梦幻乳品店”了! 大都会里还有什么地方有很多冰淇淋呀?
Roxy thought for a moment and then gulped. Oh no! The Metro City Elementary School cafeteria! Ugh, it's hotter in the cafeteria than in our classroom! Said Mara. All the students had just sat down to eat. Today's lunch was hot meatball sandwiches.
罗克西想了一会儿,猛地倒吸了一口凉气。 哦糟了! 是大都会小学的食堂! “哎呀,食堂比咱们教室还热!” 玛拉说。 所有学生刚坐下来准备吃饭。 今天的午餐是热乎的肉丸三明治。
Eww. Hot food is the last thing I want right now, said Jack. Suddenly the doors to the cafeteria flew open. Rocket Girl! shouted a boy. Listen up everyone! said Roxy, landing next to the ice cream freezer. We don't have much time. I need you to start eating lots and lots of ice cream.
“咦,我现在最不想吃的就是热乎的东西,”杰克说。 突然,食堂的门“砰”地一下被推开了。 “是火箭女孩!”一个男孩大喊道。 “大家听我说!”罗克西落在冰淇淋冰柜旁边说道。 我们时间不多了,我需要你们赶紧吃,能吃多少冰淇淋就吃多少。
The whole cafeteria became silent for a second. Then a boy spoke up. We need to eat lots of ice cream? he asked. Yes! said Roxy. And quickly, she started throwing ice cream to the students. Why? asked another student. Who cares why? said Terrell.
整个食堂瞬间安静了下来。 这时一个男孩开口了。 我们要吃很多冰淇淋? 他问道。 “没错!”罗克西说。 而且要快,她一边说一边开始把冰淇淋扔给学生们。 “为什么呀?”另一个学生问。 “管它为什么呢!”特雷尔说。
