10 NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR ITSELF

CHAPTER TEN NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR ITSELF, WHICH, LET'S BE REAL, IS PRETTY SCARY They looked everywhere for Scaredy-Fran and couldn't find her. "She's hiding," Duty-Fran said. "And we're running out of time. Can that dog of yours sniff her out? Dogs can smell fear." "He seems to be mostly toad now," Franny said. "And you know he was never really all dog to begin with. He's

第十章除了恐惧本身没什么好害怕的，说实话，恐惧本身是相当可怕的。他们到处找“吓人的弗兰”，可就是找不到。 “她躲起来了，”Duty-Fran说。 “我们的时间不多了。 你的狗能嗅出她来吗？ 狗能闻到恐惧。”“他现在好像主要是癞蛤蟆，”弗兰妮说。 “你知道，他一开始就不是个真正的狗。 他是

part Lab, part poodle, part Chihuahua, part—" "Yes, yes, a weaselly thing," Angry-Fran interrupted. "We've heard this a jillion times."

一部分拉布拉多犬，一部分贵宾犬，一部分吉娃娃，一部分——”“对，对，一只狡猾的东西。”愤怒的弗兰打断了他。 “我们已经听过无数次了。”

"So what do you suggest we do?" Duty-Fran asked. "I've given that a lot of thought," Franny said. "I think the best thing we could do is—just give up. I mean, maybe it will be okay to be a toad." Duty-Fran gasped.

“那你建议我们怎么办？”Duty-Fran问道。 “我想了很多，”弗兰尼说。 “我认为我们能做的最好的事情就是放弃。 我的意思是，也许做一只癞蛤蟆也没什么。” Duty-Fran气喘吁吁地说。

"You're just saying that because you're missing some important feelings. Normally, this would make you mad, or sad, or scared." "You're right," Franny said. "And it's a good thing I got rid of those dumb things." "NO! Everybody needs feelings.

"And that's going to make things very difficult when the ghosts arrive." "What ghosts?" Franny asked. "The ghosts," Duty-Fran said. "Yeah, they show up every time something like this happens." "What are you talking about?" Franny asked.

“当鬼魂到来时，事情会变得非常困难。” “什么鬼?”弗兰妮问道。 “那些鬼，”普-弗朗说。 “是的，每次这样的事情发生时，他们都会出现。” “你在说什么？”弗兰妮问道。

Duty-Fran raised her voice a bit. "THE GHOSTS. They always show up about now." Franny scoffed. "I'm not afraid of ghosts, you know. I mean, I was when I was little, but not anymore." "That's because you don't have a sense of fear. But I know somebody who does."

Duty-Fran提高了一点声音。 “见鬼。他们总是在这个时候出现。” 弗兰尼嘲笑。“你知道，我不怕鬼。 我是说，我小时候喜欢，但现在不是了。” “那是因为你没有恐惧感。 但我知道有人知道。”
