14 PLAYTIME!

CHAPTER 14 PLAYTIME! Alexander peeked over the bike rack. The school bus had been smashed into the ground. But the monster was nowhere to be seen. "Where did it go?" asked Rip. "The monster took one look at you and ran!" said Nikki. I'm sure that enormous candy-saurus wants to smash bigger things than us," said Alexander. "Things like KARRRROOOOOMM!!! The ground shook hard enough to rattle Alexander's bones.

第14章游戏时间！亚历山大从自行车架上偷看了一眼。 校车被撞到了地上。 但是怪物无处可寻。 “它去哪儿了？”瑞普问。 “怪物看了你一眼就跑了！”妮基说。 我敢肯定，这只巨大的糖果龙想打碎比我们更大的东西，”亚历山大说。 “比如karrrooooooomm !!”地面剧烈摇晃，亚历山大的骨头都震得嘎嘎作响。

"The candy-saurus must be behind the building!" yelled Nikki. KARRRROOOOOMM!!! The crack in Stermont Elementary grew a little larger. "Come on!" said Alexander. "We can't let this monster flatten our school!" They rushed around to the back of the building. The candy-saurus was near the playground. It bared its teeth as it pounded the school with its jawbreaker tail.

“糖龙一定在大楼后面！”妮基喊道。 KARRRROOOOOMM ! !斯特蒙特小学的裂缝变得更大了。 “来吧！”亚历山大说。 “我们不能让这个怪物夷平我们的学校！”他们跑到大楼后面。 糖果龙在操场附近。 它露出牙齿，用咬人的尾巴猛击鱼群。

"Look at those claws! And that smashy tail!" said Nikki. "It is scary looking," said Rip. "But it's kind of slow." Alexander turned to his friends. "We can bring this thing down. Follow my lead!" He sprinted across the playground and raced up the slide. "Hey, fossil face!" he shouted. "Quit smashing our school!" GRAAAAARRRRR!!! The candy-saurus stomped toward the slide. It lunged at Alexander. SNAP! Alexander dodged its bite. He zipped down the slide, kicking the monster in the knee.

“看那些爪子！”还有那条毛茸茸的尾巴！”尼基说。 “它看起来很可怕，”瑞普说。 “但速度有点慢。”亚历山大转向他的朋友们。 “我们可以把它打倒。 听我指挥！”他飞快地跑过操场，冲上滑梯。 “嘿，化石脸！”他喊道。 “别砸我们的学校！”GRAAAAARRRRR ! !糖果龙向滑梯走去。 它向亚历山大扑去。中计了!亚历山大躲开了它的咬。 他从滑梯上滑下来，踢了那怪物的膝盖。

CRONK! A hunk of hard candy flew off its kneecap. The monster took a step back. Rip pumped his fist. "Take that, toffee brain!" he yelled. Then Rip jumped down onto the seesaw. The opposite end flew up and POW!— socked the monster in the jaw. The candy-saurus's fireball eyes rolled in their sockets. But the monster picked Rip up and pinned him against the tetherball pole.

假冒的!一大块硬糖从它的膝盖骨上飞了下来。 怪物向后退了一步。 里普挥挥拳头。“拿去吧，太妃脑！” 然后里普跳到了跷跷板上。 另一头飞了起来，砰！-猛击怪物的下巴。 糖果龙的火球眼在眼眶里打转。 但是怪物把他抱起来，把他按在绳球杆上。

It smacked the tetherball with its tail. WHAP! The ball twirled on its cord, binding Rip in place. "Leave him alone!" yelled Nikki. She sailed high on the swing set, kicking the candy-saurus right in its peanut-brittle teeth. GOOORRRRAARRR-RAAARRR!!!! The monster turned to Nikki, took a deep breath, and BLAAAPPP!! shot a stream of purple taffy from its nose.

它用尾巴拍打绳球。 重击!球在绳子上旋转，把里普绑在了原地。 “放开他！”妮基喊道。 她在秋千上飞得很高，把糖果龙的牙齿踢得像花生一样脆。 GOOORRRRAARRR-RAAARRR ! !怪物转向妮基，深吸了一口气，然后砰！！从它的鼻子里喷出一股紫色的太妃糖。

Nikki tried to run, but the goo hardened around her legs, fixing her to the four square court. Alexander looked to Nikki, then to Rip. Both of his friends were trapped. The candy-saurus leaped onto the merry- go-round. It slowly spun around, keeping its glowing red eyes locked on Alexander.

妮基想跑，但她腿周围的黏液变硬了，把她固定在四方形的场地上。 亚历山大看了看尼基，又看了看里普。 他的两个朋友都被困住了。 糖果龙跳上旋转木马。 它慢慢地转过身来，发光的红眼睛一直盯着亚历山大。
