8 In the Gizzard of the Lizard

CHAPTER EIGHT IN THE GIZZARD OF THE LIZARD Igor just hated to see Franny depressed. He did his best to cheer her up. He juggled spiders. He dressed up like her mom. He even thought about letting the giant chameleon swallow him a little bit, since that always made Franny laugh. All Franny could talk about was her friends at school. "No volunteers, Igor. They all want to stick with their pointless little hobbies. They don't get it. They don't get it at all.

第八章蜥蜴的砂囊伊戈尔只是讨厌看到弗兰妮沮丧。 他尽力使她高兴起来。 他耍蜘蛛。他打扮得像她妈妈。 他甚至想过让那只巨大的变色龙把他吞下一点，因为那总能让弗兰妮发笑。 弗兰妮能说的都是她在学校的朋友。 “没有志愿者，伊戈尔。他们都想坚持自己毫无意义的小爱好。 他们不明白。他们根本不明白。

"They don't understand the thrill of an idea popping into your head out of nowhere, and then diving right in and making your idea just happen. "If only they could experience that," Franny said. Just then the giant chameleon appeared, as if out of nowhere, grabbed Igor, and swallowed him.

“他们不理解一个想法突然出现在你的脑海里，然后投入其中，让你的想法成真的那种兴奋。 “要是他们能体验一下就好了，”弗兰尼说。 就在这时，一只巨大的变色龙出现了，仿佛不知从哪里冒出来，抓住了伊戈尔，把他吞了下去。

Even though she was depressed, Franny laughed a little and shook the chameleon until Igor fell out of its mouth. It's hard not to laugh when a reptile eats your best friend.

尽管她很沮丧，弗兰妮还是笑了笑，摇晃着变色龙，直到伊戈尔从它的嘴里掉出来。 当一只爬行动物吃掉你最好的朋友时，你很难不笑出来。

"You have to be more careful, Igor," Franny said. Igor hid behind Franny. "You know the giant chameleon can camouflage himself. It's practically like he's invisible." Franny's eyes narrowed and a familiar grin stretched across her big, round face. "Invisible," said Franny, and she nodded slowly. "That's it. Invisible."

“你得小心点，伊戈尔，”弗兰妮说。 伊戈尔躲在弗兰妮身后。“你知道巨大的变色龙可以伪装自己。 他简直就像隐形人一样。” 弗兰妮眯起眼睛，又大又圆的脸上露出熟悉的笑容。 “隐形的。”弗兰妮说，她慢慢地点了点头。 “就是这样。看不见的。”
