16 CHOP CHOP!

CHAPTER 16 CHOP CHOP! There you are, AI!" said Alexander's dad. "I've been looking for you all night." Alexander watched his dad swallow a spoonful of chili. "Mmmm. Best. Veggie. Chili. EVER! What's in here, anyway?" Alexander smiled. "A chef never shares his secrets!" He walked to the kitchen tent.

第十六章快点！你来了，AI!”亚历山大的爸爸说。 “我整晚都在找你。” 亚历山大看着他爸爸吞下一勺辣椒。 “嗯。最好的。素食。辣椒。 !这里面到底是什么？”亚历山大笑了。 “厨师从不分享他的秘密！”他走向厨房的帐篷。

"Mr. Hoarsely!" Alexander said. "The veggie monsters "Tut-tut!" said Mr. Hoarsely. "I don't want to hear the M-word." He leaned in. "I thought the supper was going to be ruined, but then diced vegetables rained from the sky. I caught enough to feed everyone." "Those veggies "Nope!" Mr. Hoarsely said. "I don't want to know." "Okay, okay," Alexander said. "Have you seen Rip and Nikki?" "Oh, sure," said Mr. Hoarsely, "I made them wash up— they were so muddy!"

“嘶哑地先生!”亚历山大说。 “呸！”沙哑先生说。 “我不想听到那个打头的词。” 他凑过去。“我以为晚餐要被毁了，但后来蔬菜丁从天而降。 我捕到的鱼足够喂饱大家。” 那些蔬菜“不！”霍尔沙利说。 “我不想知道。”“好吧，好吧，”亚历山大说。 “你看到里普和妮基了吗？”“哦，当然，”沙哑先生说，“我叫他们洗碗——他们太泥泞了！”

Alexander found his friends at the sink. "The S.S.M.P. weeded out another monstrous plot!" said Nikki. "Yeah," said Rip. "The best part was watching you stand up to that corn." "Aw, shucks," said Alexander as he pulled out the notebook to make a new entry. "I couldn't have done it without you guys."

亚历山大在水池边找到了他的朋友们。 “S.S.M.P.又铲除了一个可怕的阴谋！”尼基说。 “是的，”瑞普说。“最精彩的部分是看着你勇敢地面对玉米。” “哦，糟了，”亚历山大一边说一边拿出笔记本做新的记录。 “没有你们，我做不到。”
