8 THE GLUE FACTORY

CHAPTER 8 THE GLUE FACTORY Alexander, Rip, and Nikki hurried across town. "The monsters are more active than ever!" said Nikki. Swallowed! Tangled!

第八章胶水厂亚历山大、瑞普和尼基匆匆穿过城镇。 “怪物比以前更活跃了！”妮基说。 吞下!纠结的!

De-bricked! Snipped! Slimed! Timber! Torched! The three friends eventually reached the old abandoned glue factory. "Whoa," said Nikki. "The factory's enormous!" "And half the roof is smashed in," said Rip. "I bet from the meteor," guessed Alexander.

De-bricked !剪掉!讨厌了!木材!烧毁!三个朋友最终来到了废弃的旧胶水厂。 “哇，”妮基说。“工厂太大了！”“半个屋顶都被砸了。”瑞普说。 “我打赌是流星。”亚历山大猜测道。

The friends squeezed through a rusty gate and tiptoed around the outside of the building. The doors were padlocked, and the windows were boarded up.

朋友们挤过一扇生锈的大门，蹑手蹑脚地走到大楼外面。 门上了挂锁，窗户上了木板。

"Hey there's our way in," said Nikki. Huge garage door Long, deep scratches Bite mark? Open a crack Alexander, Rip, and Nikki crawled inside on their bellies. They found themselves in total darkness. PLIP-PLIP! Water dripped from the ceiling. "Jampire, what can you see?" asked Rip. Nikki peered into the darkness. "Empty glue bottles and junky old machines," she said. "But no sign of Ms. Vanderpants." There was a colorful glow in the distance.

“嘿，我们进去了，”妮基说。 巨大的车库门又长又深的划痕咬痕？ 打开一条缝，亚历山大，里普和妮基趴着爬了进去。 他们发现自己处于一片漆黑之中。 PLIP-PLIP !水从天花板上滴下来。 “Jampire，你看到了什么？”瑞普问。 妮基凝视着黑暗。 “空胶瓶和破烂的旧机器，”她说。 “但没有范德帕斯女士的踪迹。” 远处有一片彩色的光。

Alexander and Rip followed Nikki into an enormous room. Rusty metal beams stretched up to the ceiling. Huge vats of glue lined one wall. The last vat pulsed with an eerie rainbow glow. "You guys?" said Alexander. "Why is the sparkle glue glowing?" "Alexander Bopp?! Is that you?" whispered a familiar voice from above. Alexander looked up, and gasped.

亚历山大和里普跟着尼基走进一个巨大的房间。 生锈的金属梁一直延伸到天花板。 一面墙上装着几大桶胶水。 最后一个大桶发出诡异的彩虹光。 “你们？”亚历山大说。 “闪光胶为什么会发光？”“亚历山大Bopp ? !是你吗？”上面传来一个熟悉的声音。 亚历山大抬起头来，倒吸了一口气。

Principal Vanderpants had been stuck to a steel beam with a glob of rubber cement. "What are you doing here?!" she demanded. "We came to rescue you!" yelled Rip. "Oh, Ripley," said Ms. Vanderpants with a sigh. "Now who's going to rescue you?" BWAAAAR-NAWR-HAWR!!! A horrible laugh echoed through the factory. Just then, a huge green monster jumped out from behind the glowing vat. SPARKLE GLUE

范德帕斯校长被一团橡胶水泥粘在一根钢梁上。 “你在这儿干什么？！”她质问道。 “我们是来救你的！” “哦，雷普利，”范德帕斯叹了口气说。 “现在谁来救你？”BWAAAAR-NAWR-HAWR ! !可怕的笑声在工厂里回荡。 就在这时，一个巨大的绿色怪物从发光的大桶后面跳出来。 闪光胶
