14 ON THE WRONG TRACK

CHAPTER 14 ON THE WRONG TRACK Guys, untie me NOW!" shouted Alexander. His arms were numb from the tight scarves. Nikki and Dottie reached over and began fiddling with the knots. "It's tricky!" cried Nikki. "The scarves are all twisted!" "Hurry up!" yelled Rip. "Before Count Crab Cake snips us all in half!" Alexander watched the tunnel wall roll by He could hear the CLICKA-CLICK! of the crab- monster's claw growing louder as they coasted toward the broken end of the track.

第十四章误入歧途伙计们，现在就给我松绑！”亚历山大喊道。 他的手臂被紧裹的围巾冻麻了。 妮基和多蒂伸出手，开始拨弄结。 “这很棘手！”尼基叫道。 “这些围巾都扭歪了！”“快点！”瑞普喊道。 “趁蟹饼伯爵把我们剁成两半之前”亚历山大看着隧道的墙滚过，他能听到咔哒一声！当他们滑行到铁轨的尽头时，蟹怪的爪子越来越响。

Then Alexander noticed the SERVICE TUNNEL switch. "Rip!" he shouted. "Ring toss!" "Huh?" said Rip. Alexander nodded to the switch. "Oh!" Rip pulled the ring off his arm and flung it at the switch. DING! The switch flipped. KA-THUNK! The tracks shifted. The coaster veered left. SNIP! The monster's massive claw lopped off the top of Rip's hair. Rip ran a shaky hand across the top of his head. "Why'd I give my helmet to a cow?" he said. The coaster rolled into the service tunnel. "You're not getting away that easy!" said the crab-ra cadabra.

然后亚历山大注意到了服务隧道的开关。 “开膛破肚！”“戒指扔!”“嗯？”瑞普说。 亚历山大对开关点了点头。 “噢!”里普把戒指从手臂上扯下来，扔向开关。 丁!开关打开了。KA-THUNK !铁轨改变了方向。 过山车向左转。剪断!怪物巨大的爪子剪掉了瑞普的头发。 瑞普用颤抖的手抚摸着头顶。 “我为什么要把我的头盔给一头牛？”他说。 过山车滚进了服务隧道。 “你不会这么容易就跑掉的！”螃蟹说。

SLAM! The monster leaped onto the back of the car. Suddenly, the track angled down. Straight down. Alexander's stomach flipped. Everyone screamed as the coaster raced downward at rocket-speed. "Now this is a roller coaster!" Rip shouted. The monster was holding on tight. The coaster roared through the twisting underground passage and thundered around a corner. "Look—daylight!" Dottie shouted. "We're headed outside!"

大满贯!怪物跳上了汽车的后座。 突然，铁轨倾斜下来。 垂直向下。亚历山大的胃翻腾起来。 过山车以火箭般的速度下降，每个人都尖叫起来。 “现在这是过山车！”Rip喊道。 怪物紧紧地抓着。 过山车呼啸着穿过扭曲的地下通道，在一个角落隆隆作响。 “Look-daylight !”多蒂喊道。 “我们要到外面去！”

WHOOSH! The coaster blasted out of the tunnel and onto a set of trolley tracks. The coaster sped along. Rides, game booths, and snack stands flew past in a colorful blur. URGHHH! With a grant, the crab-ra cadabra leaped over the coaster car. He landed on the track and tucked himself into his shell. The coaster barreled toward him. "Hang on!" yelled Alexander. CLANG! The coaster rammed into the monster's hard shell. The shell stayed put. But the coaster launched high into the sky.

嗖!过山车冲出隧道，来到一组电车轨道上。 过山车飞驰而过。游乐设施、游戏摊位和小吃摊在五颜六色的模糊中飞过。 URGHHH !在一笔赠款的帮助下，蟹蟹跳上了过山车。 他降落在轨道上，把自己塞进壳里。 过山车向他滚来。 “坚持住！”亚历山大喊道。 铿锵声!过山车撞到了怪物坚硬的外壳上。 壳没有动。但是过山车却高高跃上了天空。
