1 Franny’s House

CHAPTER ONE FRANNY'S HOUSE The Stein family lived in the pretty pink house with lovely purple shutters down at the end of Daffodil Street. Everything about the house was bright and cheery. Everything, that is, except the upstairs bedroom with the tiny round window.

第一章弗兰妮的房子斯坦一家住在水仙花街尽头那幢漂亮的粉红色房子里，房子里有可爱的紫色百叶窗。 房子里的一切都是明亮而愉快的。 除了楼上那间带着小圆窗的卧室以外，什么都有。

The window looked in on a bedroom, yes, but it was also a window into a laboratory: Franny's laboratory. And Franny's laboratory was spectacular. She had all of the things that you would expect any mad scientist to have. She had an electron microscope. She had a nuclear-powered brain amplifier. She had a giant, flesh-eating koala.

从这扇窗户可以看到一间卧室，没错，但它也是一扇通往实验室的窗户：弗兰妮的实验室。 弗兰尼的实验室非常壮观。 她具备所有疯狂科学家所具备的特质。 她有一台电子显微镜。 她有一个核动力大脑放大器。 她养了一只巨大的食肉考拉。

And she also had a few extras, a few special things that made Franny feel that her lab was just a little bit better than average.

她也有一些额外的东西，一些特别的东西，让弗兰尼觉得她的实验室只是比一般人好一点点。

Franny doubted that any other mad scientist had a spider enlarger or a disease simulator.

弗兰妮怀疑其他疯狂的科学家不会有蜘蛛放大器或疾病模拟器。

"I'll bet no more than half of them have an eyeball- removing machine," she said, thinking how fortunate she was that she could pull her own eye out.

“我敢打赌，他们中只有不到一半的人有摘除眼球的机器，”她说，想着自己能把自己的眼睛挖出来是多么幸运。
