Chapter 8

Chapter 8 THUMP. THUMP. The ogre's footsteps were closer now. Princess Pulverizer needed a plan. What would a knight do in a case like this? He would probably use his sword and stab the ogre in the chest. But the princess didn't have a sword. All she had was her brains, her arms, and her legs. Whoosh! At just that moment, the door to the tower flew open. The ogre was standing there, glowering at his prisoners.

第八章砰！砰地撞到。食人魔的脚步声现在更近了。 粉碎机公主需要一个计划。 骑士在这种情况下会怎么做？ 他可能会用剑刺入食人魔的胸膛。 但是公主没有剑。 她只有她的大脑，她的胳膊和她的腿。 嗖!就在这时，塔楼的门突然打开了。 食人魔站在那里，怒视着他的俘虏。

"SMELLY!" he bellowed. "STINKY..." Slam! Princess Pulverizer kicked the ogre in his knee—hard. Bam! She kicked him in the other knee— even harder. And when the ogre bent down to grab his injured knees...

“臭！”他吼道。“臭……” 大满贯!粉碎机公主狠狠地踢了食人魔的膝盖。 砰!她踢了他另一只膝盖——踢得更狠。 当食人魔弯下腰抓住他受伤的膝盖时……

Wham! The princess grabbed a wooden chair and smashed the ogre right in the stomach. The ogre tilted backward, grabbing his middle. "OOO. OOO. OW!" He banged his head on the doorpost. Princess Pulverizer leaped out of the way, and over to the far window near her friends, just before... Thud! The ogre fell to the ground in a heap right in the middle of the room. "Wow!" Lucas said. "I had no idea you were that strong."

哇!公主抓起一把木椅，砸向食人魔的肚子。 食人魔向后倾斜，抓住他的腰。 “已坏。已坏。噢!”他的头撞在门柱上。 粉碎机公主跳开了路，走到她朋友们旁边的那扇窗户前，就在…… 砰的一声!食人魔倒在屋子中央的地上，堆成一堆。 “哇!”卢卡斯说。“我不知道你这么强壮。”

"I'm not," Princess Pulverizer admitted. "I just caught him by surprise." "Is he dead?" Lucas wondered nervously. "Nah," Princess Pulverizer said. "I can still smell his awful breath. He's just knocked out. But he won't be for long. We have to get out of here." "How are we going to do that?" Dribble asked her. "He's blocking the doorway." "Maybe we could climb over him," Lucas suggested. "He would feel us and wake up," Princess Pulverizer said. "Especially you, big guy," she added, pointing to Dribble. "It's not my fault I'm big," Dribble told her. "That's how dragons are supposed to be." "We're trapped!" Lucas cried out. "Don't worry, I'll think of something," Princess Pulverizer said. "I always do. I thought of a way to get myself into the castle, didn't I?"

“我不是。” “我只是给了他一个惊喜。” “他死了吗？”卢卡斯紧张地想。 “不，”粉碎机公主说。 “我还能闻到他那难闻的口气。 他刚刚昏倒了。但他活不了多久了。 我们必须离开这里。” “我们要怎么做呢？”运球问她。 “他挡住了门口。” “也许我们可以从他身上爬过去。”卢卡斯建议道。 “他会感觉到我们，然后醒过来的。” “尤其是你，大个子。”她指着运球补充道。 “我个子大不是我的错，”运球告诉她。 “龙就应该是这样的。” “我们被困!”卢卡斯叫道。 “别担心，我会想办法的。” “我总是这样。我想到了一个办法进入城堡，不是吗？”

"I wish you had thought of a way out," Dribble muttered under his dragon breath. He stared longingly out the window. "We're going to be stuck in here forever. I'm never going to feel the grass under my feet again. And I'm never going to get to open my own restaurant." Sob. Lucas began to cry again. The princess covered her ears. It was hard to think with the sound of crying. BURP! Dribble let out another loud belch. The powerful wind was so strong, it shook the ogre's giant mountain of stolen treasures. Princess Pulverizer was absolutely miserable. Being stuck in a tower with a gassy dragon was really the worst. She'd never met anyone who let out so much smelly air. Or who cried as much as Lucas did. How on earth was she going to get them all out of this mess?

“我真希望你能想出一条出路。” 他渴望地望着窗外。 “我们要永远被困在这里了。 我再也感觉不到脚下的草了。 我永远也开不了自己的餐厅了。” 抽泣。卢卡斯又哭了起来。 公主捂住耳朵。 听到哭声，我很难思考。 打嗝!运球又打了一声响亮的嗝。 强风是如此强大，它摇动了食人魔的巨大的偷来的宝藏山。 粉碎机公主非常痛苦。 被困在一座塔里，和一只气龙在一起真是最糟糕的事。 她从来没见过谁会呼出这么多臭气。 或者像卢卡斯一样哭个不停的人。 她究竟怎样才能把他们都从这一团糟中解救出来呢？

She looked over at Dribble. He was batting his wings up and down, trying to get rid of the smell from his latest belch. A broad smile formed on Princess Pulverizer's face. "That's it!" she shouted excitedly. "Dribble is going to save us all!"

她看了看运球。 他上下拍打着翅膀，试图消除最近一次打嗝的气味。 粉碎机公主的脸上露出了灿烂的笑容。 “就是这样！”她兴奋地喊道。 “运球会救我们所有人的！”
