15 A TIGHT SQUEEZE

CHAPTER 15 A TIGHT SQUEEZE Off!" The bubble-wrap warrior barreled into Alexander, trapping him in a bear hug. Rip and Nikki pulled at the monster. It laughed. "Let's go for a spin, shall we? I think my true form will BLOW YOU AWAY!" The bubble-wrap warrior tossed Alexander aside. It set the Ruby Scorpion down on a big wooden pinecone.

第十五章使劲挤！”这位裹着气泡膜的勇士撞向了亚历山大，把他困在了一个熊抱里。 里普和妮基朝怪物猛拉。 它笑了。“我们去兜兜风，好吗？” 我想我真实的样子会让你大吃一惊的！”气泡包装战士把亚历山大扔到一边。 它把红宝石蝎子放在一个大木松果上。

The monster unraveled itself into one long noodle made of hundreds of sheets of bubble wrap. Then it began spinning around. It spun faster and faster, rising in the air like a giant tornado. A giant twisting, snapping tornado made entirely of bubble wrap! WHOOOOOOSH! The three friends' hair started blowing. Nikki shouted something. But Alexander couldn't hear her over the rush of wind.

这个怪物把自己变成了一条由数百张气泡膜制成的长长的面条。 然后它开始旋转。 它旋转得越来越快，像一个巨大的龙卷风一样上升到空中。 这是一个完全由气泡膜制成的巨大扭曲的龙卷风！WHOOOOOOSH !三个朋友开始吹起头发。 妮基喊了些什么。但亚历山大听不见她的声音，因为风太大了。

The bubble-wrap warrior spun even faster. Clock gears wobbled. Chains rattled. Alexander could barely stand against the strong wind. He saw Nikki clinging to a ladder. Rip crouched behind a cog. Alexander grabbed the closest thing the tail feathers of the giant cuckoo. He held on tight. FLOMP! Eight long arms shot out of the tornado. "Watch out! This monster's going into octopus-mode!" Rip shouted. A bubbly arm stretched across the room and grabbed Rip.

气泡膜战士旋转得更快。 时钟的齿轮晃动着。连锁店慌乱。 亚历山大几乎无法抵挡强风。 他看见妮基抓着梯子。 里普蹲在一个齿轮后面。 亚历山大抓住离他最近的东西那只巨大的杜鹃的尾羽。 他紧紧抓住。FLOMP !龙卷风伸出了八条长臂。 “小心!这怪物要进入章鱼模式了！”Rip喊道。 一只活泼的手臂穿过房间，抓住了里普。

"Gotcha!" said the bubble-wrap warrior. Another arm reached for Nikki. She scooted up the ladder and out of reach. A third arm snaked back to Alexander, wrapping around his leg. He hugged the cuckoo tighter. Then two more arms shot out and -SNAP! broke the wooden bird off its branch. "AAACK!" yelled Alexander. The monster grinned as it grabbed. Rip and Alexander. "Let's see how you guys like getting popped!"

“抓到你了！”泡泡包装战士说。 另一只手伸向妮基。 她飞快地爬上梯子，到了够不着的地方。 第三只手臂向亚历山大蜿蜒而来，缠绕着他的腿。 他把布谷鸟抱得更紧了。 接着又伸出两只胳膊——啪！把木鸟从树枝上摔下来。 “啊！”亚历山大喊道。 怪物一边抓，一边咧着嘴笑。 里普和亚历山大。“让我们看看你们是怎么被打爆的！”
