9 HEADS UP!

CHAPTER 9 HEADS UP! The snow monster tossed up its head and— BAP! —spiked it like a volleyball, straight for Rip. The flying head stared at Rip with its one eye as it cannonballed through the night air. "Duck!" shouted Alexander, tackling Rip.

第九章注意！雪怪扬起头来——呸！-像排球一样刺向里普。 飞行的脑袋在夜空中像炮弹一样飞驰，用一只眼睛盯着里普。 “快躲！”亚历山大喊道，抓住了里普。

The flying head missed Rip. But not Leo. puff! Leo blinked, and sat up. "Where's the ghost?! Why's my face cold?! Where'd this carrot come from?!" Alexander and Rip looked back. The headless snowman had melted into a pile of slush. "Helloooooo?" called a voice. "It's almost lights-out! Back to your cabins, hedgehogs!" Leo stood up. "That's Ranger Harry!" "Yeah," said Alexander. "Our cabin is just over that hill, Leo. Why don't you run ahead? Rip and I will catch up."

飞起的脑袋没打中瑞普。 但Leo不是。泡芙!利奥眨了眨眼，坐了起来。 “鬼在哪儿？”为什么我的脸很冷？！这胡萝卜是从哪儿来的？！”亚历山大和瑞普回头看了看。 无头雪人融化成一堆雪泥。 “喂？”一个声音叫道。 “快熄灯了！”刺猬们，回你们的小屋去吧！”利奥站了起来。 “那是游骑兵哈利！”“是的，”亚历山大说。 “利奥，我们的小屋就在山那边。 你为什么不跑在前面呢？我和里普会赶上来的。”

"Cabins," said Leo. "Nice, safe cabins." He staggered up the hill. Rip brushed the slush off his shorts. "So I guess that dumb old snowman couldn't get around without its head, huh?" "It wasn't a snowman," said Alexander. He brought out the notebook and flipped through a few pages. "It's in here somewhere," he said. "Let's see... pool-shark, frog-gobbler... snombie!"

“小木屋，”利奥说。“漂亮、安全的小屋。” 他摇摇晃晃地爬上了山。里普掸掉短裤上的泥。 “所以我猜那个愚蠢的老雪人没有脑袋就不能四处走动，是吗？”“那不是雪人，”亚历山大说。 他拿出笔记本，翻了几页。 “它就在这里的某个地方，”他说。 “让我们看看…pool-shark frog-gobbler… snombie !”

SNOMBIE snowman+zombie. HABITAT Forest. DIET snowflakes?

SNOMBIE雪人+僵尸。森林栖息地。 饮食雪花?

strange clinking noises seem to happen before a snowbie attack. BEHAVIOR These creatures roll along slowly, losing body parts as they move. They throw snowballs at anyone who across their paths. WARNING! You can stop a snombie by knocking off its head.

奇怪的叮当声似乎发生在雪人袭击之前。 这些生物缓慢地滚动，在移动时失去身体部分。 他们向任何横穿他们道路的人扔雪球。 警告!你可以敲掉一个瞌睡虫的头来阻止它。

"Lucky for us, snombies are slow, dumb, and ugly!" said Rip. "We can handle an army of 'em." "I hope we don't have to," said Alexander. "I'm exhausted from dodging one snombie. Let's get back. We'll fill Nikki in at breakfast tomorrow." Suddenly, there were hundreds of clinks, close together, like someone angrily drumming their fingers on glass. Alexander looked at Rip. They both ran to their cabin. The clinks continued into the night.

瑞普说：“我们很幸运，瞌睡虫又慢又笨又丑！” “我们能对付他们一大群人。” “我希望我们不必这么做，”亚历山大说。 “为了躲避一个人，我都累坏了。 我们回去吧。我们明天早餐时再告诉妮基。” 突然，几百次碰杯声接连不断，就像有人愤怒地用手指敲打玻璃一样。 亚历山大看着瑞普。他们俩都跑回了自己的小屋。 叮当声一直持续到深夜。
