8 SPILLED MILK

CHAPTER 8 SPILLED MILK Alexander took the elevator to the cafeteria. DING! The doors slid open. FOOMP! Alexander was hit in the face with a dodgeball. "Gotcha, Salamander!" said Rip. The ball landed with a thud at Alexander's feet. "Oh, man! It's flat," Rip said. "I was hoping to bounce it off your nose!" "Ripley Bonkowski!" came a voice from around the corner. "Uh-oh," said Rip.

第八章打翻的牛奶亚历山大乘电梯来到自助餐厅。 丁!门滑开了。 FOOMP !亚历山大的脸被躲避球击中。 “抓到你了，蝾螈！” 球砰的一声落在亚历山大的脚上。 “哦,男人!它是平的，”瑞普说。 “我还想把它从你鼻子上弹开呢！”“雷普利·邦考斯基！”一个声音从拐角处传来。 “哦哦，”瑞普说。

Ms. Vanderpants thundered into view. "Alexander," she said, "I see you made it to school." Alexander nodded. She turned to Rip. "Take a seat. Now." Rip shot Alexander a mean look. Then he sat down. Alexander breathed a sigh of relief and got in the lunch line.

范德培斯女士轰隆隆地出现在眼前。 “亚历山大，”她说，“我看到你来学校了。” 亚历山大点了点头。她转向里普。 “请坐。现在。”里普恶狠狠地瞪了亚历山大一眼。 然后他坐了下来。亚历山大松了一口气，进了排队买午餐的队伍。

MENU MONDAY MEAT LOAF SURPRISE TUESDAY SQUASH SURPRISE WEDNESDAY CHILI SURPRISE THURSDAY LIMA BEANS (NO SURPRISE) FRIDAY TACO SURPRISE He grabbed some Taco Surprise and looked for a seat. Most of his classmates were eating together, joking around. The kid in the hoodie sat alone, writing in a notebook. The notebook, remembered Alexander. He found an empty table, unzipped his backpack, and pulled out the notebook. It was filled with drawings of monsters hairy birds, eight-eyed mushrooms, mutant earthworms. He read about flying rhinos while he ate.

菜单星期一肉饼惊喜星期二南瓜惊喜星期三辣椒惊喜星期四利马豆（没有惊喜）星期五墨西哥卷饼惊喜他拿了一些墨西哥卷饼惊喜，找了个座位。 他的大多数同学都在一起吃饭，开玩笑。 那个穿连帽衫的孩子独自坐在那里，在笔记本上写着什么。 笔记本，亚历山大想起了。 他找到一张空桌子，拉开背包的拉链，拿出笔记本。 里面画满了怪物毛鸟，八眼蘑菇，变异蚯蚓。 他边吃边读关于飞行犀牛的书。

RHINOCERAPTOR An armored beast with a large horn and massive swan-like wings. HABITAT Wherever breakable things are kept: china shops, clock museums, violin factories.

犀牛龙是一种身披盔甲的野兽，长着巨大的角和巨大的天鹅般的翅膀。 存放易碎物品的地方：瓷器店、钟表博物馆、小提琴工厂。

yuk-yuk! Rhinoceraptor feathers are great for ticking your enemies. DIET Leafy plants. And corn dogs. BEHAVIOR These monsters enjoy a peaceful life in the clouds. But if they spot something breakable down below, they immediately dive-bomb their target! WARNING! stay calm! The rhinoceraptor can sense fear, so, SERIOUSLY, DON'T FREAK OUT The rhinoceraptor won't hurt you, but it'll gladly crush anything you care about-like a fishbowl, a sand castle, Mr. Nuzzle Bear, or a picture of your mom.

育育!犀牛的羽毛是对付敌人的利器。 多吃叶类植物。还有玉米热狗。 这些怪物在云层中过着平静的生活。 但如果它们发现下面有易碎的东西，它们会立即俯冲轰炸目标！警告!保持冷静!犀牛能感觉到恐惧，所以，说真的，不要惊慌。犀牛不会伤害你，但它会很乐意碾碎任何你在乎的东西——比如鱼缸、沙堡、鼻熊先生或你妈妈的照片。

Alexander finished his lunch and closed the notebook, bumping his milk carton. It was 2% milk, but 98% of it splashed onto his pants. He began dabbing milk off his pants with his napkin. Then he paused mid-dab. There was a message on his napkin. I KNOW ABOUT THE MONSTERS. It looked like the message had been signed. But the name had been smudged by spilled milk. Alexander felt a hard slap on his back. "Hey, Salamander," said Rip, pulling up a seat. Alexander jammed the notebook into his backpack. "Stop calling me that!" he said.

亚历山大吃完午饭，合上笔记本，碰了碰他的牛奶盒。 只有2%的牛奶，但98%的牛奶溅到了他的裤子上。 他开始用餐巾擦去裤子上的牛奶。 然后他停了下来。他的餐巾上有留言。 我知道怪物的事。 看起来这条信息已经签名了。 但是这个名字已经被打翻的牛奶弄脏了。 亚历山大感到背上重重地挨了一下。 “嘿，蝾螈，”里普拉过一个座位说。 亚历山大把笔记本塞进背包。 “别那么叫我！”他说。
