16 COMMON SCENTS

CHAPTER 16 COMMON SCENTS Monster-Rip leaped to the deck of the skeleton ship. "Whoa!" said Alexander. WHAM! Monster-Rip threw a monster-punch, knocking the octo-schnozz into the ship's mast. The schnozz aimed its nostrils, and fired twin booger-blasts. BLOOMP-BLOOMP! Monster-Rip batted the boogers away with his massive fists. The monsters circled each other, growling.

第十六章共同的气味怪物瑞普跳上了骷髅船的甲板。 “哇！”亚历山大说。哇!怪物瑞普猛击了那只章鱼，把它撞到了船的桅杆上。 鼻子对准鼻孔，发出两声鼻屎。 BLOOMP-BLOOMP !怪物里普用他的拳头把鼻屎打走了。 怪物们围着对方转，咆哮着。

"There are two monsters?!" shouted a voice. Nikki was standing on a boulder, holding a rope connected to the ship's mast. She swung onto the ship's railing. "Hey, where's Rip?" she asked. "That blue monster is Rip!" Alexander yelled. "Now help me up!" Nikki tossed down her rope, and Alexander climbed aboard. The monsters let out a battle roar. Actually, one roared. GRAAAWWRRR!!! The other honked. HOO-RONNNNNK!!! Then they lowered their horns and charged.

“有两个怪物？！”一个声音喊道。 妮基站在一块巨石上，手里拿着一根连着船桅杆的绳子。 她荡到船的栏杆上。 “嘿，里普在哪儿？”她问。 “那个蓝色的怪物是瑞普！”亚历山大喊道。 “现在扶我起来！”尼基扔下绳子，亚历山大爬上了船。 怪物们发出了战斗的吼声。 实际上，其中一人咆哮道。GRAAAWWRRR ! !另一个按喇叭。 HOO-RONNNNNK ! !然后，他们放下了号角，发起了冲锋。

The pirate ship rocked from the monster- collision, sending waves across the lagoon. The octo-schnozz staggered backward DING! It hit its head against a bell, and fell to the deck. Monster-Rip was dizzy, too. He stumbled sideways and slipped on a snot puddle. Nikki and Alexander ran over. "Are you okay?" asked Nikki.

那艘海盗船由于猛烈的撞击而摇晃起来，在礁湖上掀起了波浪。 八爪龙摇摇晃晃地后退了！它的头撞在铃铛上，掉到甲板上。 怪物瑞普也晕了。 他绊了一跤，在一个鼻涕坑上滑倒了。 尼基和亚历山大跑了过来。 “你还好吗？”妮基问。

Rip shook his head a few times. He was back to normal. "What... happened?" Rip said. "Did I just transform into a monster and knock out the octo-schnozz?" said Alexander. "Yup!" "What the heck was in Dottie's cupcakes?!" Rip asked. SNARF! The octo-schnozz hopped to its feet and staggered toward Rip. "You leave Rip alone, schnozzy!" said Nikki, pulling a small bottle from her pocket. "Or I'll give you a whiff of Jasmine Rosebud Surprise!" The monster stomped forward.

里普摇了几下头。 他恢复了正常。“什么…… 发生了什么?”Rip说。亚历山大说：“我刚才是不是变成了怪物，把那只章鱼鼻子打晕了？” “是的!”“多蒂的小蛋糕里到底有什么”Rip问道。 狼吞虎咽!章鱼鼻子跳了起来，摇摇晃晃地朝里普走去。 “你离里普远点，笨蛋！”妮基说着，从口袋里掏出一个小瓶子。 “不然我就给你一股茉莉花蕾惊喜！”怪物大步向前走去。

Nikki ran to the octo-schnozz, and aimed the bottle straight up its largest nostril. PSSSHT-PSSSHT! She sprayed a double pump of Dottie's birthday present. The monster sniffled. Its eyes watered. It took a few loopy steps backward. "The octo-schnozz's weakness is flowers!" said Nikki. "When it smelled the viney flowers on our caboose, and the field of tropical flowers "And last night!" added Alexander. "It ran off when it smelled my flower-scented bathrobe!"

妮基跑到章鱼鼻子跟前，把瓶子对准它最大的鼻孔。 PSSSHT-PSSSHT !她把多蒂的生日礼物喷了两泵。 怪物抽泣着。它的眼睛湿润了。 它倒退了几步。 “八鼻猫的弱点是花！”妮基说。 “当它闻到我们车尾上的葡萄花和热带花朵的味道时，”亚历山大补充说。 “它一闻到我的花香浴袍就跑了！”

"Right!" said Nikki. "Flowery smells make the octo-schnozz have a big, fat—" The monster inhaled, long and deep. "Sneeze!" said Rip. "Abandon ship!" shouted Alexander. The S.S.M.P. dove overboard. The octo-schnozz blasted a hurricane sneeze that filled the sails on the pirate ship.

“对！”妮基说。“花香使章鱼的鼻子有一个又大又肥的——”怪物吸了一口气，又长又深。 “打喷嚏！”瑞普说。“弃船！”亚历山大喊道。 S.S.M.P.从船上跳了下去。 那只章鱼的鼻子发出一阵飓风般的喷嚏，把海盗船的帆都吹满了。
