6 TABLE FOR THREE

CHAPTER 6 TABLE FOR THREE By the time Alexander made it to lunch, the cafeteria was out of green stuff. They were just serving purple chunks. He took a seat next to Rip. "That was a super-long bathroom break," Rip said, winking. "Yeah, Ms. Vanderpants was pretty mad," said Alexander. He sniffed a purple chunk. "You know, I've never been in trouble like that before."

第六章三人桌亚历山大吃午饭的时候，自助餐厅的绿色食品已经卖光了。 他们只是提供紫色的大块。 他在里普旁边坐了下来。 “上厕所的时间太长了，”里普眨眨眼说。 “是的，范德帕斯女士非常生气，”亚历山大说。 他闻了闻一大块紫色的东西。 “你知道，我以前从来没有遇到过那样的麻烦。”

"You get used to it after the first six or seven times." Rip chugged his milk. "So... About those worms..." "Okay, okay you were right," Alexander grumbled. "They were just regular night crawlers." "Poor Salamander..." Rip smiled. "It must be hard being friends with a smart guy like me!" Alexander swallowed a mouthful of chunks. "I was wrong about the worms, but there are more monsters in Stermont. Mr. Hoarsely said—" "Monsters? What are you two talking about?" Nikki set her tray on the table and sat down. "None of your business," Rip growled. "Now bug off!"

“在最初的六七次之后，你就习惯了。” 瑞普咕嘟咕嘟地喝着牛奶。“所以…… 关于那些虫子……”“好吧，好吧，你是对的。”亚历山大抱怨道。 “它们只是普通的夜间爬行动物。” “可怜的蝾螈……”把笑了。 “和我这样聪明的人做朋友一定很不容易吧！”亚历山大吞下了一口大块的食物。 “我对虫子的看法是错误的，但是斯特蒙特有更多的怪物。 沙哑先生说——”“怪物？ 你们两个在说什么？”尼基把托盘放在桌子上，坐了下来。 “不关你的事，”里普咆哮道。 “现在滚开！”

Nikki turned to Alexander. "So, how did everything go with the worms?" "Uh, fine." Alexander frowned. "I guess." They all stared at the table. "Lunchtime is over," Rip said, glaring at Nikki. He turned to Alexander. "Let's go, Salamander. I'm sure Hoarsely will fill us in during gym." "Oh!" said Alexander "I almost forgot Mr. Hoarsely is missing! I overheard Ms. Vanderpants telling some weird lady about it." "Really?" asked Nikki. "He probably got spooked by his own shadow," said Rip. "I bet he's hiding in a locker, waiting for gym class to start." "I sure hope you're right," said Alexander. "I've got a lot of questions for him."

尼基转向亚历山大。 “那么，那些虫子怎么样了？”“呃,好。” 亚历山大皱起了眉头。“我猜。” 他们都盯着桌子。 “午餐时间结束了，”里普怒视着妮基说。 他转向亚历山大。“我们走吧，蝾螈。 我相信沙哑会在体育课上告诉我们的。” “哦！”亚历山大说，“我差点忘了沙哑先生不见了！我无意中听到。 范德帕斯告诉一个奇怪的女人。” “真的吗？”妮基问。“他可能被自己的影子吓坏了，”瑞普说。 “我打赌他躲在储物柜里，等着体育课开始。” “我真希望你是对的。”亚历山大说。 “我有很多问题要问他。”
