Chapter 3

Chapter 3 "This is a bad idea," Lucas moaned as he trudged through the forest behind Princess Pulverizer and Dribble.

“这是个坏主意。”卢卡斯一边呻吟着，一边跟在粉碎公主和运球后面穿过森林。

"Why?" Princess Pulverizer asked. "We were looking for a good deed to do, and now we have one." "You were looking for a good deed to do," Lucas insisted. "I just wanted to get out of Salamistonia." "Me, we, same thing," Princess Pulverizer said. "Not exactly," Lucas said nervously. "Are you sure we're going the right way?" Dribble asked Princess Pulverizer. "We've been walking a really long time." "Oh, I'm sure. Read the signs." The princess pointed to the warnings posted on the nearby trees.

“为什么?”粉碎机公主问。 “我们一直在寻找一件好事，现在我们有了。” “你是想做一件好事，”卢卡斯坚持说。 “我只是想离开萨拉米斯特尼亚。” “我，我们，都是一样的。” “不完全是，”卢卡斯紧张地说。 “你确定我们走的路对吗？”运球问粉碎机公主。 “我们已经走了很长时间了。” “哦，我肯定。看看这些迹象。” 公主指着贴在附近树上的警示牌。

"That settles it!" Lucas insisted. "I'm going back. I don't want to be turned into a lizard." "Don't worry," Princess Pulverizer told Lucas. "You and Dribble aren't going into the Wizard of Wurst's tower. Only I am." Lucas stopped and looked at her. "I don't want you to be turned into a lizard, either." "I won't be," Princess Pulverizer promised. Although she wasn't entirely sure it was the

“就这么定了！”卢卡斯坚持道。 “我要回去了。我可不想变成一只蜥蜴。” “别担心，”粉碎公主告诉卢卡斯。 “你和Dribble不能进巫师的塔。 只有我是。”卢卡斯停下来看着她。 “我也不希望你变成一只蜥蜴。” “我不会的。”粉碎机公主保证道。 虽然她不完全确定那是

truth. "How exactly do you plan to get into the wizard's tower?" Dribble asked. "You can't just walk in uninvited." "I haven't figured that part out yet," Princess Pulverizer admitted. "I guess I'll have to trick him into inviting me in." "Trick him?" Dribble asked. "You're going to trick a wizard?" "Sure," Princess Pulverizer replied confidently. "It worked before. I fooled the ogre into letting me into his castle when I found out he'd stolen jewels from the Queen of Shmergermeister." "Ogres aren't known for their brains," Lucas pointed out. "They're easy to fool. But wizards are smart." "Judging by these signs, this wizard is also really mean," Dribble added. "Wizards have magic," Lucas warned. "They turn people into frogs, bats, and even mosquitoes—which is really bad, because bats

真理。“你到底打算怎样进入巫师的塔楼？”运球问道。 “你不能不请自来。” “我还没想明白这一点，”普里尔泽公主承认。 “我想我得骗他邀请我进去。” “把戏他吗?”运球问道。 “你要骗巫师？”“当然。”普莱丽公主自信地回答。 “这种方法以前奏效过。当我发现那个食人魔偷了什默梅斯特女王的珠宝时，我骗他让我进入了他的城堡。” “食人魔并不以他们的大脑而闻名，”卢卡斯指出。 “他们很容易被骗。但是巫师是聪明的。” “从这些迹象来看，这个巫师也很刻薄。” “巫师有魔法。”卢卡斯警告说。 “它们把人变成青蛙、蝙蝠，甚至蚊子——这真的很糟糕，因为蝙蝠

eat mosquitoes. You don't want to get eaten, do you?" Princess Pulverizer didn't answer Lucas's question. She hadn't even heard Lucas's question. In fact, she hadn't heard a single thing he'd said after the word magic. "Magic," Princess Pulverizer repeated excitedly. "I'll use magic to get into that tower." "Um... I hate to be the one to point this out, but you don't have magic powers," Dribble said. "You don't even know any magic spells. You're not a wizard." Princess Pulverizer smiled broadly. "Exactly," she agreed mysteriously.

吃蚊子。你不想被吃掉吧？”粉碎机公主没有回答卢卡斯的问题。 她甚至没有听到卢卡斯的问题。 事实上，他说完“魔法”两个字后，她一个字也没听见。 “魔法。”粉碎机公主兴奋地重复道。 “我要用魔法进入那座塔。” “嗯……我不愿意指出这一点，但你没有魔力，”运球说。 “你连魔咒都不会。 你不是巫师。”粉碎机公主笑得很开心。 “没错，”她神秘地同意道。
