Chapter 4

Chapter 4 Princess Pulverizer walked silently toward the cottage door. She'd put on the ruby ring the Queen of Shmergermeister had given her. The ring had the power to allow whoever was wearing it to walk in silence. No one in the cottage could hear her. But the princess could sure hear them. They were arguing. Loudly. "You're eating that apple pie awfully quickly!" Princess Pulverizer heard a woman scold. "It took me hours to bake." "I'm just trying to finish it before I lose my appetite," a man replied angrily. "This pie is so dry, it's turning to dust. You are a terrible chef, Madame Zucker."

粉碎机公主默默地向小屋门口走去。 她戴上了Shmergermeister女王送给她的红宝石戒指。 这枚戒指有一种力量，可以让戴着它的人无声无息地行走。 小屋里没人能听到她的声音。 但是公主肯定能听到他们的声音。 他们在争吵。大声。 “你吃苹果派吃得太快了！”粉碎机公主听到一个女人在骂。 “烘焙花了我好几个小时。” “我只是想在没胃口之前把它吃完。”一个男人生气地回答。 “这个馅饼太干了，都快化成灰了。 你真是个糟糕的厨师，祖克夫人。”

"How could anyone cook in such a tiny kitchen with rusty old pans?" Madame Zucker replied. "If you hate my cooking so much, why not let me go?" "I captured you and brought you here to cook for me," the man said. "And cook for me you shall." "You eat too much sugar, Sir Surly," Princess Pulverizer heard a second man's voice scold. "You are going to get a toothache. I've already had to pull half your teeth."

“谁能在这么小的厨房里用生锈的旧锅做饭呢？”扎克夫人答道。 “如果你这么讨厌我的厨艺，为什么不让我走呢？”“我抓住了你，把你带到这里来给我做饭，”那人说。 “你要给我做饭。” “你糖吃得太多了，萨利爵士。”普莱丽公主听见第二个男人的声音骂道。 “你会牙痛的。 我已经拔了你一半的牙了。”

Hmmm... Sir Surly. There was a knight inside this cottage. Perhaps he could help Princess Pulverizer find her friends. The princess was about to knock on the door when she heard more arguing. "Dr. Cuspid, could you breathe in the other direction?" Sir Surly demanded. "You're stinking up the whole cottage. It's that onion you ate with your dinner."

嗯…粗暴的爵士。小屋里住着一位骑士。 也许他能帮助粉碎机公主找到她的朋友。 公主正要敲门，却听到了更多的争吵。 “库斯皮德医生，你能朝另一个方向呼吸吗？”索利爵士问道。 “你把整个小屋都弄得臭烘烘的。 是你晚餐时吃的洋葱。”

"I like onions," Dr. Cuspid insisted. "And my breath wouldn't be so bad if you'd let me grab my toothbrush when you captured me." "From now on you are only to eat apples," Sir Surly ordered him. "Try this one." "I'm tired of apples," Dr. Cuspid complained. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away," Sir Surly reminded him. "But an onion a day keeps everyone away!" "The last time I heard that joke, I fell off my dinosaur," Madame Zucker replied snidely. "Speak to me with respect," Sir Surly warned her. "Or else we'll soon be eating Madame Zucker stew—with Madame Zucker as the main ingredient." Princess Pulverizer gasped. Yikes. This guy was really sensitive. She'd never met a knight like that in her father's court. "AAAAAHHHHH!" Princess Pulverizer was startled by the sudden loud shout from inside.

“我喜欢洋葱，”库斯皮德坚持说。 “如果你抓我的时候让我拿着牙刷，我的口气就不会那么难闻了。” “从现在起，你只能吃苹果。” “试试这个。”“我吃腻了苹果。” 牙抱怨道。“一天一个苹果，医生远离我。” “但是一天一个洋葱能让所有人远离我！”“上次我听到这个笑话的时候，我从我的恐龙上摔了下来，”扎克夫人讥讽地回答。 “说话要放尊重点。” “不然我们很快就要吃朱克夫人炖菜了——以朱克夫人为主要原料了。” 粉碎机公主倒吸了一口冷气。 呵。这家伙真的很敏感。 她在父亲的宫廷里从未见过这样的骑士。 “AAAAAHHHHH !”粉碎机公主被突然从里面传来的大声喊叫吓了一跳。

"NATE JAPE, GET THAT SPIDER AWAY FROM ME!" Sir Surly screamed. "You know I hate spiders." "What do you get when you mix a tarantula with a rose?" the princess heard a young boy ask. "What?" Madame Zucker wondered aloud. "I don't know," he said. "But I wouldn't try smelling it!" Nate laughed at his own joke.

“ nate jape，把那只蜘蛛从我身边弄开！”萨利爵士尖叫道。 “你知道我讨厌蜘蛛。” “把狼蛛和玫瑰混合在一起，你会得到什么？”公主听到一个小男孩问。 “什么?”扎克夫人大声问道。 “我不知道，”他说。“但我不会去闻它！”内特被自己的笑话逗乐了。

But Sir Surly sure wasn't laughing. "I don't like spider jokes, either!" he grumbled. "Uh-oh," Dr. Cuspid interrupted. "What now?" Sir Surly demanded. "I found a worm in this apple," Dr. Cuspid complained.

但苏利爵士肯定没有笑。 “我也不喜欢关于蜘蛛的笑话！”他抱怨道。 “哦哦，”库斯皮德医生打断了他。 “现在?”索利爵士问道。 “我在这个苹果里发现了一条虫子。” 牙抱怨道。
