Chapter 6

Chapter 6 Princess Pulverizer really regretted leaving her ruby ring with Lucas. The floors in the tower were old and rickety. She couldn't take a single step without making noise. Creak. Creak.

第6章粉碎性公主后悔把红宝石戒指留给了卢卡斯。 塔里的地板又旧又摇摇欲坠。 她每走一步都要发出声音。 吱吱作响。吱吱作响。

She tried to walk a little more quietly so she didn't wake the wizard. But Princess Pulverizer wasn't exactly light on her feet. Finally, the princess reached the door at the end of the hallway. She reached out and turned the knob. But the door was locked. And there was no key in sight. Now I'm really in a pickle, Princess Pulverizer thought to herself. Grumble. Rumble. At the mere thought of the word pickle, the princess's stomach started to groan. She should have eaten that pathetic liverwurst sandwich before she set off to rescue Lester the Jester. But that would have taken time. And frankly, the princess wanted to get out of this creepy tower as quickly as she could. The sooner she freed Lester, the sooner she could get back to Lucas and Dribble—and to one of Dribble's delicious grilled cheese sandwiches. Maybe he would make her a

她尽量走得轻一点，以免吵醒巫师。 但是粉碎机公主的脚步并不轻盈。 最后，公主走到走廊尽头的门口。 她伸手转动门把手。 但是门是锁着的。也看不到钥匙。 现在我真的进退两难了，粉碎机公主心想。 抱怨。隆隆作响。一想到泡菜这个词，公主的胃就开始咕咕叫。 她去救小丑莱斯特之前应该先吃了那个可怜的肝香肠三明治。 但这需要时间。 坦率地说，公主想尽快离开这座令人毛骨悚然的塔。 她越早释放莱斯特，就能越早回到卢卡斯和运球身边，吃到运球美味的烤奶酪三明治。 也许他会让她

cheddar cheese on rye. The princess really loved rye bread—seeds and all. If only she could pick that lock. Pick... That's it! Princess Pulverizer thought. She reached into her knapsack and pulled out one of the small slivers of wood she used to pick rye seeds out of her teeth. She slipped the slim toothpick into the keyhole. She jiggled it to the right. She joggled it to the left. And then... Click. The lock popped open! The princess smiled proudly as she slipped her toothpick back into her sack and turned the knob to the forbidden room. The legendary knight Sir Loin hadn't been able to unlock the door to Lester the Jester's prison. Neither had a whole army.

黑麦上的切达奶酪。公主真的很喜欢黑麦面包的种子。 要是她能撬开那把锁就好了。 选择……这是它!粉碎机公主想。 她把手伸进背包，拿出一根小木条，那是她用来从牙齿里剔黑麦种子的。 她把细细的牙签塞进锁眼里。 她把它向右摇晃。 她慢慢地往左边走。 然后……点击。锁突然打开了！公主得意地笑了笑，她把牙签塞回袋子里，转动门把手，进入那间被禁止的房间。 传奇骑士洛因爵士没能打开小丑莱斯特监狱的门。 他们都没有一支完整的军队。

But she had been able to do it. And it hadn't taken her more than three seconds to figure out how. Quickly, the princess turned the knob and burst through the door. "Lester the Jester, you are free! I, Princess Pulverizer, have rescued... oh!" The princess stopped talking as soon as she entered the room. That was when she realized that she hadn't freed Lester at all. He was trapped in a giant cage that was kept behind the locked door. That meant there were two locks. One on the door. And one on the cage.

但她做到了。 她只用了不到三秒钟的时间就想明白了。 公主迅速转动门把手，冲进了门。 “小丑雷斯脱，你自由了！”我，粉碎机公主，拯救了… 噢!”公主一走进房间就不说话了。 这时她才明白，她根本没有解放雷斯脱。 他被困在锁着的门后面的一个巨大的笼子里。 这意味着有两个锁。 门上有一个。还有一个在笼子上。

"You were saying?" Lester the Jester replied, glaring at her from behind the cage's thick metal bars.

“你刚才说什么？”小丑雷斯脱回答道，一面从牢笼的粗铁栏后面瞪着她。
