3 Go for Broke!

CHAPTER 3 GO FOR BROKE! When I get home, I empty my piggy bank, but there's not a lot in it. I'm able to shake out $2.38. This is not good. I don't have high hopes as I get on my bike and pedal toward the costume shop. When I arrive, it's monster mayhem! THAT'S ALL I HAVE? NOT GOOD. OINK

第三章全力以赴!当我回到家,我清空了我的储蓄罐,但里面并没有很多钱。 我能摇出点38。 这可不太好。我没有抱太大的希望,我骑上我的自行车,蹬着脚向服装商店走去。 当我到达时,是怪物的混乱!这就是我的全部? 不好的。呼噜声

Every aisle is fiend-filled. Blood and guts galore. It's like going to the movies. Every major monster is there—Frankenstein, Dracula, Wolfman, and the Thing. It's all fur, fangs, blood, and bolts.

每个通道都挤满了魔鬼。 到处都是血和内脏。就像去看电影一样。 每一个主要的怪物都在那里——弗兰肯斯坦、德古拉、狼人和那个东西。 到处都是毛,尖牙,血和螺栓。

Everything looks really cool. The only problem is the price tags are monstrous, too. There's nothing less than thirty dollars. Even the masks are all more than ten dollars. I recount my money. It's not $2.38. It's $2.37. The saleswoman isn't very

一切看起来都很酷。 唯一的问题是价格太高了。 不少于30美元。 就连面具都要十多美元。 我数数我的钱。不是点38。 .37点。这个女售货员不太好

helpful. She just says to go look on the sale rack by the door. Well, there's a scar for $2.99, an eyeball for $3.99, a set of fangs for $4.99, and a tube that squirts fake blood for $5.99. I open my hand and look at my $2.37. I can afford one Martian antenna or one witch's wart, but that's not going to make a great costume. I'm going to have to look elsewhere.

有帮助的。她只是让你去门边的货架上看看。 伤疤是。99美分,眼球是。99美分,尖牙是。99美分,假血管是。99美分。 我张开手,看着我的点37手枪。 我可以负担得起一个火星天线或一个女巫的疣,但这并不能成为一件很棒的服装。 我得另寻他处了。
