10 VANDERPLANS

CHAPTER 10 VANDERPLANS Alexander, Rip, and Nikki flipped through Ms. Vanderpants's secret file on their walk home. "I can't believe she's been spying on us!" said Nikki. "She must be trying to figure out how to stop us," said Rip. "Look! She even wrote about me turning into a monster at the golf course!" "This file folder means she's for sure the boss-monster," said Alexander. "Right," Rip said. "So what kind of monster is she?"

第十章范德计划亚历山大、里普和妮基翻了翻《伊万卡》。 范德帕斯的秘密文件。 “我不敢相信她一直在监视我们！”尼基说。 “她一定在想办法阻止我们，”瑞普说。 “看!她甚至写我在高尔夫球场变成怪物！”亚历山大说：“这个文件夹意味着她肯定是怪物老大。” “好的，”瑞普说。“那么她是什么样的怪物呢？”

"Good question," said Alexander. "Well, what kind of powers does she have?" asked Nikki. "She's strict," said Alexander. "...and she never smiles." "She's always on time," said Nikki. "And she, uh, only wears gray," said Rip. "She was wearing a bumpy leather thing this morning, under her clothes. Sort of like armor," said Alexander. "You know," said Nikki. "None of these things are really monster powers." Rip paused and cupped a hand to his ear. "Speaking of monster powers..." "Do you hear clicking again?" asked Alexander. "Yeah," said Rip. "But you don't?" "Nope," said Alexander. "It must be related to your monster powers. Can you experiment tonight and practice transforming?"

“问得好，”亚历山大说。 “那么，她有什么样的能力呢？”尼基问。 “她很严格，”亚历山大说。 “…而且她从来不笑。” “她总是很准时，”妮基说。 “她，呃，只穿灰色的衣服，”里普说。 “今天早上她穿着一件凹凸不平的皮衣，藏在衣服里。 有点像盔甲，”亚历山大说。 “你知道的，”妮基说。“这些东西都不是真正的怪物力量。” 瑞普停了一下，一只手放在耳朵上。 “说到怪物的力量……” “你听到咔哒声了吗？”亚历山大问。 “是的，”瑞普说。“但你不知道？”“不，”亚历山大说。 “这一定和你的怪物能力有关。 你今晚能做实验，练习变形吗？”

"You mean eat sugary stuff? Sure!" said Rip. Nikki twisted her hoodie strings. "I still don't know how we can battle Ms. Vanderpants, when we don't even know what kind of monster she is." "Whatever she is, we can handle her," said Alexander. "We've been training all year for this! We're quick, and smart, and we have two powerful monsters on our side! You both rest up and meet me in the morning, behind the school. Early." "For a 100th Day monster battle!" said Nikki. "Sweet!" said Rip. "Vanderpants won't know what hit her!" "I'll draw up a battle plan tonight!" added Alexander.

“你是说吃含糖的东西？” 当然！”瑞普说。妮基扭了扭她的卫衣线。 “我仍然不知道我们该如何与希拉里对抗。 范德帕斯，我们都不知道她是个什么样的怪物。” “不管她是什么，我们都能对付她，”亚历山大说。 “我们为此训练了一年！”我们又快又聪明，还有两个强大的怪物站在我们这边！你们俩都好好休息，明早在学校后面见我。 早。”“为了第100天的怪物大战！”尼基说。 “好极了！”瑞普说。“范德帕斯不会知道是什么击中了她！”“今晚我要拟定作战计划！”亚历山大补充说。
