15 COOK WHO'S TALKING

CHAPTER 15 COOK WHO'S TALKING Yeesh," said the real Rip. sopping wet with stink-sauce. "That was the first and last time I say something nice!" "Sorry," said Alexander as he helped Rip to his feet. "Come on!" shouted Nikki from the door. "The monster's getting away!"

第十五章说话的厨子是啊。”真正的瑞普说。 被臭气浸湿了。 “那是我第一次也是最后一次说好话！”“对不起，”亚历山大一边帮瑞普站起来，一边说。 “来吧！”妮基在门口喊道。 “怪物跑了！”

The four of them ran into the hallway. The super-goop was near the escalators. "You can't catch me!" the monster shouted. VLOOP! The super-goop morphed into a giant rabbit, and hopped down the steps. "Oh no!" said Dottie. "Bunnies are super fast!" "Even on escalators?" said Rip. THUMP!-THUMP!-THUMP! They chased the rabbit down the steps and caught up with it on the next floor down. But just as Alexander reached out to grab the backpack...

他们四个人跑进了走廊。 超级粘稠的东西就在自动扶梯附近。 “你抓不到我的！”怪物喊道。 VLOOP !超级粘稠变成了一只巨大的兔子，跳下了台阶。 “哦，不！”“兔子跑得超级快！”“即使在自动扶梯上？”瑞普说。 重击,重击!重击!他们把兔子追下台阶，到了下一层又追上了。 但就在亚历山大伸手去拿背包的时候……

VLOOP! The super- goop became a salamander, running along the wall. "BWUK-HYUK-HYUK!" laughed the monster. "I'm using your own animal reports against you!" VLOOP! It snapped back into blob-form, and oozed down to the second floor. "It's heading into the cafeteria!" shouted Nikki. "Follow that blob!" said Alexander. "We've got to get the notebook!" By the time they got downstairs, the cafeteria was empty. Through those doors, maybe?" asked Rip.

VLOOP !超级粘稠变成了一条火蜥蜴，沿着墙跑。 “噗——噗——噗！”怪物笑着说。 “我要用你自己的动物报告来对付你！”VLOOP !它啪的一声又变成了水滴状，渗到了二楼。 “它朝自助餐厅跑去了！”妮基喊道。 “跟着那个斑点！”亚历山大说。 “我们得去拿笔记本！”他们下楼时，自助餐厅已经空无一人。 也许从那些门进去？”瑞普问。

They walked into the kitchen. It was dark. And warm. "It smells yummy in here," said Dottie. Loaves of bread were cooling near two giant ovens.

他们走进厨房。 天很黑。和温暖的。“这里闻起来很香，”多蒂说。 在两个巨大的烤箱旁，一条条面包正在冷却。

SLAM! The kitchen doors burst open, and the rubbery pink blob bounced in. "Did you miss me?" said the monster. VLOOP. Four noodly arms shot out, wrapping around each member of the monster patrol. "My boss will be so happy when I tell her I've destroyed the S.S.M.P.!" said the blob. "I'll be her HACK! HACK! The blob began to cough. Alexander noticed the rubbery arm around his waist had turned gray and chalky. "It's drying out!" he shouted. "The heat from the ovens is too much for it!"

大满贯!厨房的门突然开了，那团粉红色的橡胶团弹了进来。 “你想我吗？”怪物说。 VLOOP。四条粗大的手臂伸出来，紧紧地搂住了怪物巡逻队的每一个成员。 “如果我告诉我的老板我毁掉了S.S.M.P.，她会很高兴的！”这个斑点说。 “我要做她的助手！”黑客!那团东西开始咳嗽。 亚历山大注意到他腰部的橡胶手臂已经变成了灰色和白垩色。 “干了！”他喊道。 “烤箱里的热量对它来说太热了！”

HACK! The super-goop began to crack and crumble. It released its grip on the four monster-fighters. "It needs moisture!" said Nikki. "That's why Dr. Tallow was always using lotion!" said Rip. The crumbling blob turned into a pink goldfish. It flopped across the room and into a pot of water. Then the super-goop shot out of the water. It was no longer a goldfish. The monster was now a giant rubbery ball—large enough to flatten four kids in one bounce.

黑客!超级粘稠开始破裂和破碎。 它松开了对四个怪物战士的控制。 “它需要水分！”尼基说。 “这就是为什么塔洛医生总是用乳液！”瑞普说。 碎裂的斑点变成了一条粉红色的金鱼。 它扑通一声穿过房间，掉进了一壶水里。 然后，超级粘稠的东西从水里喷了出来。 它不再是一条金鱼了。 怪物现在是一个巨大的橡胶球，大到一次弹跳就能把四个孩子压扁。
