16 One More Reason to Never Clean Your Room

CHAPTER SIXTEEN ONE MORE REASON TO NEVER CLEAN YOUR ROOM Franny couldn't get away, and she couldn't reach the controls on her Time Warper Device. Suddenly a thought occurred to her.

第十六章又多了一个不打扫房间的理由弗兰妮逃不掉，她够不着时间扭曲器的控制装置。 她突然有了一个想法。

Franny looked around and spotted her old Voice-Activated Cheese Cannon. "Cheddar!" she shouted, and caught the cannonball of cheese it launched her way. Teen Franny spun around. "Hold it right there, kid," she said. "I know what you're thinking. You're thinking that cheese will attract the mice, and then the mice will scare the

弗兰尼环顾四周，发现了她的旧声控奶酪大炮。 “切达奶酪！”她喊道，接住了向她飞来的奶酪炮弹。 少女弗兰妮转过身来。“别动，孩子，”她说。 “我知道你在想什么。 你认为奶酪会吸引老鼠，然后老鼠会吓到

elephant-monster, which will drop you, and then you'll escape. Am I right?" Franny said nothing. "Of course I'm right," Teen Franny sneered. "I'm just as clever as you are, Franny. But two principles in your dumb little plan are entirely incorrect: Mice don't really like cheese, and elephants aren't really afraid of mice."

大象怪物，它会把你扔下来，然后你就能逃脱了。 我说得对吗？”弗兰妮什么也没说。 “我当然是对的，”十几岁的弗兰妮冷笑着说。 “我和你一样聪明，弗兰尼。 但是你那愚蠢的小计划中的两个原则是完全错误的：老鼠并不真的喜欢奶酪，大象并不真的害怕老鼠。”

"I guess you're right," Franny said. "But my plan was based on the principle that nobody likes it when you stuff wads of cheese up their nose," she said as she did exactly that. "And I never, ever, ever cleaned up my room."

“我想你是对的，”弗兰妮说。 “但我的计划是基于这样一个原则：没人喜欢你把奶酪团塞进他们的鼻子里，”她一边说一边这么做。 “我从来，从来，从来没有打扫过我的房间。”

The elephant-monster, struggling to dislodge the cheese wad from its trunk, took two steps backward and slipped on the banana peel that had been in that exact spot for years, just as Franny's mom had predicted. As the monster fell, it released Franny.

象怪挣扎着要把奶酪团从鼻子里挪出来，却向后退了两步，踩在香蕉皮上滑倒了。香蕉皮在那个地方已经放了好几年了，正如弗兰妮妈妈所预料的那样。 怪物倒下的时候，弗兰妮也被放了出来。

Teen Franny lunged for one of the countless inventions lying around the lab. She aimed the Frog-O-Matic and fired it at Franny. Franny swiftly grabbed a mirror and deflected the ray. Teen Franny picked up the electric Molecule Destroyer and switched it on. Franny quickly unplugged it from the wall.

十几岁的弗兰妮扑向实验室里无数发明中的一项。 她把青蛙- o - matic瞄准了弗兰妮。 弗兰妮迅速抓起一面镜子，使光线偏转。 十几岁的弗兰妮拿起电子分子毁灭者，打开了开关。 弗兰妮赶紧把它从墙上拔了下来。
