Chapter 2 The Sock Drawer The next morning, the footprints hadn't gone. In fact, there were more of them. Billy raced downstairs.

第二章放袜子的抽屉第二天早上，脚印没有消失。 事实上，他们的数量更多。 比利跑下楼。

"Something happened... in the night..." he said. His family looked up from the breakfast table. And now there are strange purple footprints all over my bookcase.

“发生了一件事…在夜里……” 他说。他的家人从早餐桌上抬起头来。 现在我的书架上到处都是奇怪的紫色脚印。

Sit down and eat your breakfast. But... "Silly Billy," said Ruby, Billy's little sister. "There really are!" cried Billy. "Please! Come upstairs and see."

坐下来吃你的早餐。 但是…“傻比利，”比利的小妹妹鲁比说。 “真的有！”比利叫道。 “请!上楼来看看吧。”

But when his parents opened his bedroom door... There aren't any footprints here. "I don't understand," said Billy. The footprints had gone. sparkle

但是当他的父母打开他卧室的门…… 这里没有脚印。 “我不明白，”比利说。 脚印不见了。闪耀

"Now, Billy," said his mum. "You must stop making things... She paused... and sniffed... "...Yuck!" "I don't make things yuck!" cried Billy. "I mean that revolting smell," said his mum. "And it's coming from your sock drawer.

“现在，比利，”他的妈妈说。 “你必须停止制造东西…… 她停了下来……和嗅…… “……恶心!”“我不会把事情弄得很恶心！”比利叫道。 “我是说那股令人作呕的味道，”他妈妈说。 “它是从你放袜子的抽屉里出来的。

It stank of rotting cheese and stale farts. "It's not my fault!" said Billy. It must be the chest of drawers. It's Dad's fault for buying it from that smelly old junk shop. It didn't smell when I bought it, Billy.

里面散发着腐烂的奶酪和不新鲜的屁的味道。 “这不是我的错！”比利说。 一定是五斗橱。 这是爸爸的错，他从那个臭旧旧货店里买了它。 我买的时候没有味道，比利。
