大卫威廉姆斯 · 6 The World Worst Monsters
FRANKENTEDDY ONCE UPON A TIME, in a remote castle, lived two children- a brother and sister named Percy and Mary. He was nasty, but she was nice. Percy was one of the world's worst children. Oh, sorry, wrong book.
弗兰肯泰迪从前,在一座偏僻的城堡里住着两个孩子——一个叫珀西,一个叫玛丽的兄妹。 他很讨厌,但她人很好。 珀西是世界上最坏的孩子之一。 哦,对不起,错了。
But it is true. The boy spent every waking moment trying to make his sister cry. The castle was perched high on a cliff overlooking a raging sea. What made this castle special was that there was a secret laboratory hidden deep inside. The laboratory belonged to the children's father. His name was Dr Victor Frankenstein. CUE THUNDER AND LIGHTNING... BOOM! CRACKLE! FOLLOWED BY A STAB OF DRAMATIC MUSIC... DUM! DUM! DER! Dr Frankenstein was a tall, thin man, with pale skin and dead eyes. It looked as if he hadn't slept in years. Which was true.
但这是真的。这个男孩醒着的每一刻都想让他妹妹哭。 城堡高高耸立在悬崖上,俯瞰着汹涌的大海。 这座城堡的特别之处在于它的深处隐藏着一个秘密实验室。 这个实验室属于孩子们的父亲。 他的名字是维克多·弗兰肯斯坦博士。 雷电交加…… 繁荣!裂纹!接着是一段戏剧性的音乐。 DUM !DUM !DER !弗兰肯斯坦博士是一个又高又瘦的人,皮肤苍白,眼神呆滞。 看起来他好像好几年没睡觉了。 这是真的。
That was because he was a scientist who had a deep and dark obsession with bringing the dead back to life. BOOM! CRACKLE! DUM! DUM! DER! As a result. Frankenstein had been shunned by his fellow scientists. His experiments were considered deadly dangerous and deeply troubling. Frankenstein became infamous. However, that infamy just spurred him on. Day and night he toiled in his laboratory. He was a cold and heartless father; all he cared about was his work. Sometimes Frankenstein crept out of his castle in the dead of night and returned at dawn with sacks over his shoulder that dripped blood. Mary would see the red spots on the stone stairs leading down to the laboratory and wonder what on earth her wicked father was up to. She and her brother were forbidden to enter the laboratory.
那是因为他是一名科学家,对起死回生有着深刻而黑暗的痴迷。 繁荣!裂纹!DUM !DUM !DER !因此。 弗兰肯斯坦一直被他的科学家同行们所回避。 他的实验被认为是致命的危险和令人深感不安的。 弗兰肯斯坦变得声名狼藉。 然而,这一耻辱却激励着他继续前进。 他日以继夜地在实验室里辛勤工作。 他是一个冷酷无情的父亲;他只关心他的工作。 有时候,弗兰肯斯坦会在夜深人静的时候爬出城堡,在黎明时分背着滴血的麻袋回来。 玛丽看到通往实验室的石阶上的红点,就想知道她邪恶的父亲到底在做什么。 她和她哥哥被禁止进入实验室。
One night, her curiosity got the better of her. Mary tiptoed down to the laboratory door and peeped through the keyhole. The girl could not believe what she saw. Her father was sewing together body parts he must have dug up from the graveyard. The man had made A MONSTER! It was lying on a slab in the middle of the laboratory. A complex metal apparatus with circles and wires dangled overhead. As he went about his work, Frankenstein babbled to himself. "I will become immortal! I will go down in history, not as a man, but as a god, because, as soon
一天晚上,她的好奇心战胜了她。 玛丽蹑手蹑脚地走到实验室门口,从钥匙孔往里偷看。 女孩简直不敢相信她所看到的。 她父亲正在缝合尸体的各个部位,他一定是从墓地里挖出来的。 这个人创造了一个怪物!它躺在实验室中央的一块石板上。 一种复杂的金属装置,上面悬挂着圆圈和电线。 弗兰肯斯坦一边工作,一边自言自语。 “我将长生不老!”我将被载入史册,不是作为人,而是作为神,因为,一旦
as lightning strikes, electricity will pass through the monster's body. And I, the great Victor Frankenstein, will achieve the impossible. I will bring the dead back to life!" From that day on, Frankenstein would rarely emerge from his laboratory. When he did, he would climb the staircases to the very top of the castle and stand on one of the turrets. A huge kite attached to a metal wire flew overhead. "Lightning! Strike!" Frankenstein would command. But none came. With his father so preoccupied with his deadly experiment, his son, Percy, was free to run riot. As their mother had long ago left the castle, the boy could unleash a reign of terror on his little sister. Percy would... ...put live worms in Mary's slippers... SQUIRM! ...place a huge block of ice at the bottom of her bed... CHATTER!
当闪电击中时,电流会穿过怪物的身体。 而我,伟大的维克多·弗兰肯斯坦,将实现不可能。 我要叫死人复活!”从那天起,弗兰肯斯坦就很少走出他的实验室。 当他到达时,他会爬上楼梯到城堡的顶端,站在其中一个塔楼上。 一只系着金属线的大风筝从头顶飞过。 “闪电!罢工!”弗兰肯斯坦会指挥。 但是没有人来。他的父亲如此专注于他的致命实验,他的儿子,珀西,可以自由地进行暴乱。 因为他们的母亲早已离开了城堡,这个男孩可以对他的小妹妹实施恐怖统治。 珀西会... ...把活虫子放进玛丽的拖鞋里…… 蠕动!…在她的床底放一大块冰。 喋喋不休!
