5 LITTLE SQUIRT

CHAPTER 5 LITTLE SQUIRT How can we eat when we're still gagging from Rip's stink sauce?" said Alexander as his class made its way down to the cafeteria. "That sauce smelled pretty tasty to me!" said Nikki. Rip grinned. "I knew you'd say that, you crazy jampire." Nikki was secretly a monster— a good monster called a jampire. She could see in the dark, and she loved anything red and juicy.

第五章小水怪瑞普的臭酱还在呛我们，我们怎么能吃饭呢？”亚历山大说，这时他的班级正在往自助餐厅走去。 “我觉得那个酱汁闻起来很好吃！”尼基说。 Rip咧嘴一笑。“我就知道你会这么说，你这个疯狂的裁判。” 妮基暗地里是个怪物——一个叫jampire的好怪物。 她在黑暗中也能看见东西，她喜欢任何红色多汁的东西。

"Think fast!" Rip added. He tossed Nikki a bag of his leftover stink sauce. She smiled. Then she read the lunch menu, and smiled a little less. Alexander, Rip, and Nikki filled their trays. They joined Dottie at an empty table. "Hi, guys!" Dottie said. "Rip, your squirty lizard-goggles were awesome!" "Thanks!" said Rip. "I just can't believe Dr. Tallow didn't give you an X for stinking up the whole classroom!" said Nikki. "I got one for clapping wrong!"

“想想快!”把补充道。他扔给尼基一包他剩下的臭酱。 她笑了。然后她看了看午餐菜单，脸上的笑容少了一些。 亚历山大、里普和尼基把盘子装满了。 他们和多蒂坐在一张空桌子旁。 “嗨,伙计们!”多蒂说。“瑞普，你的蜥蜴护目镜太棒了！”“谢谢！”瑞普说。 妮基说：“我真不敢相信塔洛医生没有因为你把整个教室弄得一团糟而给你打个X !” “我拍错了！”

"You should try being a perfect student. Like me!" said Rip. Nikki grumbled as she dumped the stink sauce all over her chilly dog. Alexander cleared his throat. "I guess you do keep getting in trouble, Nikki," he said. "But, uh, maybe Dr. Tallow will go easier on you tomorrow after she sees your animal report." "Yeah, maybe," said Nikki. "Hey, Nikki! What kind of cupcakes do you like?" Dottie asked. "I'm bringing some to school next week for my birthday!"

“你应该试着做一个完美的学生。 像我一样！”瑞普说。妮基一边抱怨一边把臭烘烘的酱汁倒在她那只冰冷的狗身上。 亚历山大清了清喉咙。 “我猜你确实一直惹麻烦，尼基，”他说。 “但是，也许明天塔洛医生看了你的动物报告后会对你宽容一些。” “是啊，也许吧，”妮基说。 “嗨,妮可!你喜欢什么样的纸杯蛋糕？”多蒂问。 “我下周要带一些去学校当生日礼物！”

Alexander could tell Dottie was trying to cheer Nikki up. It was sort of working. "Strawberry," Nikki said with a tiny smile. Alexander took a bite of his warm dog, which was now a chilly dog. He leaned over to grab a mustard bottle from the next table. But he couldn't quite reach it... CRINKLE! Someone wearing strange, shiny clothes handed the mustard bottle to Alexander.

亚历山大看得出来，多蒂想让妮基高兴起来。 还挺管用的。“草莓，”妮基微笑着说。 亚历山大咬了一口温暖的狗，它现在变成了一条寒冷的狗。 他探过身去，从邻桌拿了一瓶芥末。 但他够不着…… 皱纹!一个穿着奇怪、闪亮衣服的人把芥末瓶递给亚历山大。

"Thanks for—!" Alexander gasped, almost choking on his chilly dog. The tall, shiny figure at the next table wasn't a person at all. It was an angry monster, covered in bubble wrap!

“谢谢你!”亚历山大喘着气，几乎被他那冰冷的狗噎着。 邻桌那个又高又亮的人根本就不是人。 那是一个愤怒的怪物，浑身裹着气泡纸！
