11 NO TIME FOR TREATS

CHAPTER 11 NO TIME FOR TREATS The shaggy, brown monster was sniffing the ground near a seahorse statue. Alexander raced over to Nikki, Rip, and Dottie. "Guys!" he said. "The monster's here! We've got to get down there!" "Hmmm?" said Dottie, looking up from her cupcake.

第十一章没时间吃东西了那只毛茸茸的棕色怪物正在一座海马雕像附近嗅着地面。 亚历山大跑到尼基、里普和多蒂身边。 “伙计们！”他说。“怪物来了！”我们一定要下去！”“嗯？”多蒂说，从她的小蛋糕上抬起头来。

Rip ran to the window. "It just ducked into the windmill!" Rip, Nikki, and Alexander started moving toward the door. But not Dottie. "Aren't you coming?" asked Nikki, touching Dottie's shoulder. Dottie blinked. "Huh?" she asked. "Don't leave yet it's cupcake time!" She grabbed Rip's arm. "Here, Rip. Since you had that weird reaction to the strawberry cupcake, we made you a chocolate one!" Rip looked at Alexander. Alexander shrugged back. "Uh, okay. Thanks!" said Rip. He scarfed the cupcake down in two seconds. "Why are you guys in such a rush?" asked Dottie. She handed cupcakes to Alexander and Nikki.

里普跑到窗前。“它刚钻进风车里去了！”里普、尼基和亚历山大开始朝门口走去。 但多蒂不是。“你不来吗？”妮基摸着多蒂的肩膀问。 多蒂眨了眨眼睛。“嗯？”她问。 “先别走，蛋糕时间到了”她抓住瑞普的胳膊。 “在这里,撕裂的声音。既然你对草莓纸杯蛋糕有那么奇怪的反应，我们就给你做了一个巧克力的！”瑞普看着亚历山大。 亚历山大耸耸肩。“呃,好吧。 谢谢！”瑞普说。他两秒钟就把小蛋糕狼吞虎咽地吃掉了。 “你们为什么这么着急？”多蒂问。 她把纸杯蛋糕递给亚历山大和尼基。

"You know why," said Alexander. He made claw-hands and said under his breath: "The monster, Dottie!" The lobster?" said Dottie. "No!" said Rip, tossing his cupcake wrapper aside. "The monster! The one Salamander saw last night." Dottie laughed. "There's no such thing as monsters! I love playing S.S.M.P. with you, but it's just a game— like with the knit-wit." She winked at Alexander. Then she passed out cupcakes to the rest of the guests. Rip looked at Alexander and Nikki. "What's up with her?" he asked, scratching his ear.

“你知道为什么，”亚历山大说。 他捏起两只爪子，低声说：“怪物，多蒂！”龙虾？”多蒂说。 “不！”里普说，把他的纸杯蛋糕包装纸扔到一边。 “怪物!就是蝾螈昨晚看到的那个。” 多蒂笑了。“根本没有怪物这种东西！”我喜欢玩S.S.M.P. 对你来说，不过这只是一场游戏——就像对编织者一样。” 她向亚历山大使了个眼色。然后她把纸杯蛋糕分发给其他客人。 里普看着亚历山大和尼基。 “她怎么了？”他搔着耳朵问。
