11 READY TO RUMBLE

CHAPTER 11 READY TO RUMBLE Aaaarrghhh!" Rip, Nikki, and Alexander screamed as they leaped from the coaster. They landed near Dottie. The creature opened its jaws Its howl shook the tunnel. "The ghost!" said Dottie. "It's real!" "It's not a ghost," said Nikki. "It's a whirly- wisp!"

第十一章准备隆隆声！里普、尼基和亚历山大尖叫着从过山车上跳了下来。 他们在多蒂附近降落。那怪物张开了嘴巴，它的嚎叫震动了隧道。 “鬼！”多蒂说。“这是真的!”“这不是鬼，”妮基说。 “是一缕旋风！”

"A whirly-what?" asked Dottie. She swallowed. "That's the thing from Count Chad's crystal ball!" The creature floated toward Alexander, its head bobbing. "Don't be scared, Dottie," said Rip. "We're professionals." Alexander took a step away from his friends. The creature lurched at him. "Watch out, Salamander!" said Rip. "Don't let it touch you!" The skull head began to spin around. "What's happening?!" asked Dottie. Alexander pulled a pencil from his backpack. "If the whirly-wisp tags me, I'll turn to jelly. But if I'm fast enough

“旋转——什么？”多蒂问。 她吞下。“那是查德伯爵的水晶球里的东西！”这个生物向亚历山大飘来，它的头上下摆动着。 “别害怕，多蒂。”瑞普说。 “我们专业人士。”亚历山大离他的朋友们远了一步。 那怪物向他扑来。 “小心，蝾螈！”瑞普说。 “别让它碰你！”骷髅头开始旋转起来。 “发生了什么事？！”多蒂问。 亚历山大从背包里拿出一支铅笔。 “如果旋风标记我，我会变成果冻。 但如果我够快的话

With low, quick steps, he ran a loop around the creature. He dragged his pencil along the ground, drawing a circle. "That should do it!" said Nikki. "So long, whirly-wisp!" The creature twisted and jerked. "Didn't the notebook say the monster was supposed to disappear as soon as the circle was drawn?!" yelled Rip. The creature flopped in place, still making a rumbling sound. "Wait a second," said Alexander. He reached up to grab the edge of the creature's gown. "Salamander, no!" Nikki yelled.

他迈着低而快的步子，绕着那怪物跑了一圈。 他在地上拖着铅笔，画了一个圈。 “应该可以了！”尼基说。 “再见了，旋风！”那生物扭来扭去。 “笔记本上不是说怪物应该一画完圈就消失吗？！” 那东西扑通一声落在原地，仍然发出隆隆声。 “等一下，”亚历山大说。 他伸手去抓那家伙的长袍边。 “蝾螈,没有!”尼基喊道。
