13 QUITE A STRETCH

CHAPTER 13 QUITE A STRETCH Noooooo!" Rip cried. "My favorite teacher is a blob?" "I'm no ordinary blob, dearie," said the pink ooze. "I'm the shape-shifting super-goop! I can take any form!"

第十三章大费周章不！把哭了。 “我最喜欢的老师是一个团？”“我不是普通的一团，亲爱的，”粉红色的软泥说。 “我是能变形的超级粘稠物！”我可以采取任何形式！”

VLOOP! The blob twisted around, making a sound like a boot being pulled from thick mud. An instant later, it had molded itself into a new shape—a balloon goon. Then— VLOOP! —a mummy, a carrot, a snombie, and back to a blob. Alexander gasped. "Those monsters I saw— they were all you!" "Yes, I turned into those monsters when you were alone," said the blob. "I knew none of these dum-dums would believe you!"

VLOOP !那一团东西扭来扭去，发出一种声音，就像一只靴子从厚厚的泥里被拉出来一样。 片刻之后，它又把自己塑造成了一个新的形状——气球打手。 然后——VLOOP !-一个木乃伊，一个胡萝卜，一个snosnobie，再回到一个团。 亚历山大气喘吁吁地说。“我看到的那些怪物——都是你们！”“是的，当你一个人的时候，我变成了那些怪物。” “我就知道这些笨蛋不会相信你的！”

"Salamander really did see those monsters!" said Rip. "One monster, Rip—a Silly Putty monster!" said Dottie. The super-goop extended a pink, rubbery arm toward Nikki. Nikki clutched the notebook to her chest as the super-goop's arm clamped down around her shoulders. "Now give me that notebook!" the monster yelled. "Never!" said Nikki. She tossed the notebook to Alexander. He zipped it into his backpack. VLOOP! Two more arms shot out, wrapping around Alexander and Dottie like vines.

“火蜥蜴真的看到了那些怪物！” “一个怪物，丽普——一个橡皮泥怪物！”多蒂说。 超级粘稠者向尼基伸出了一只粉红色的橡胶手臂。 妮基把笔记本紧紧地抱在胸前，超级粘稠的手臂紧紧地搂住了她的肩膀。 “把笔记本给我！”怪物喊道。 “永远不会！”尼基说。她把笔记本扔给亚历山大。 他把它拉进背包。 VLOOP !又伸出两只胳膊，像藤蔓一样缠绕着亚历山大和多蒂。

The hamsters, turtles, and fish hid in their tunnels, shells, and plastic castles. Rip took a step back, toward the doorway. VLOOP! Dr. Tallow's pink, smiling face appeared on the blob. "Rip, dearie, there's no need to run," she said. "You and I are alike!" "Alike?!" yelled Rip. "I'm not a mon—" CHOMP! Nikki bit the super-goop's arm. "Ouch!" the blob shouted. Alexander felt the monster loosen its grip. "Rip, catch!" Alexander yelled. He flung his backpack to Rip. "RUN! Don't let her get the notebook!" Rip darted out the door. The Tallow-faced blob followed him, locking the door behind her.

仓鼠、乌龟和鱼躲在它们的隧道、贝壳和塑料城堡里。 里普向后退了一步，朝门口走去。 VLOOP !塔洛医生粉红色的笑脸出现在斑点上。 “瑞普，亲爱的，没必要跑，”她说。 “你和我很像！”“一样？！”瑞普喊道。 “我不是女人——”妮基咬了超级棒的手臂。 “哎哟！”亚历山大感到怪物松开了它的手。 “撕,抓!”亚历山大喊道。 他把背包扔给里普。 “快跑!别让她拿到笔记本！”瑞普冲出门去。 油脂脸的斑点跟着他，锁上门。

"We're trapped!" said Nikki. Alexander, Nikki, and Dottie could hear Rip shouting from the other side of the door. But they couldn't understand what he was saying. "Rip needs us!" said Nikki. "We've got to get out of here!" "No problem," said Dottie. "I saw Dr. Tallow enter the code yesterday." Dottie walked over to the keypad and pressed a few buttons. BOOP! The door swung open. Alexander smiled. "Dottie, I'm so glad you're in the S.S.M.P.!" he said. Alexander, Nikki, and Dottie ran into the classroom. Two boys were having a tug-of-war over Alexander's backpack. They both wore black shirts. They both had square heads. They were both Rip Bonkowski.

“我们被困住了！”尼基说。 亚历山大、妮基和多蒂都能听到里普在门那边喊。 但他们听不懂他在说什么。 “里普需要我们！”尼基说。 “我们必须离开这里！”“没问题。”多蒂说。 “我昨天看见塔洛医生输入了密码。” 多蒂走到键盘前，按了几个按钮。 BOOP !门开了。 亚历山大笑了。“多蒂，我真高兴你加入了S.S.M.P.!”他说。 亚历山大、尼基和多蒂跑进了教室。 两个男孩在为亚历山大的背包拔河。 他们都穿着黑衬衫。 它们都是方形的。 他们都是瑞普·邦考斯基。
