9. The Last Laugh

Chapter 9 The Last Laugh Hypo looked at Bradley. "May I ask why you want to borrow my duck?" he said. Bradley grinned and explained his plan. "I love it!" Hypo said when Bradley had finished. "I'll even drive you home. But you have to promise that I can watch!" Brian, Nate, and Lucy loved the idea, too. Five minutes later, they were all piled in Hypo's car

第九章最后的笑Hypo看着Bradley。 “我可以问一下你为什么要借我的鸭子吗？”他说。 布拉德利咧嘴一笑，解释了他的计划。 “我喜欢！”布拉德利讲完后，海波说。 “我甚至可以开车送你回家。 但你得保证我能看！”布莱恩、内特和露西也很喜欢这个主意。 五分钟后，他们都挤进了海波的车里

with Darlene. Pal gave Darlene a doggy kiss in the backseat. Bradley gave Hypo directions to his house. "Park behind the barn so Mom and Dad won't see us," Brian told Hypo. "Then we can all sneak in the back door." The four kids, Pal, and Hypo, who was carrying Darlene, tiptoed into the house. Bradley peeked into the living room. His parents and Josh were playing cards. Bradley led the others quietly up the stairs. They crept into his bedroom and closed the door. "This is more fun than hypnotizing people!" Hypo said. "Where can I hide?" "In my closet," Brian said. "Just kick my stuff out of the way." But first, he pulled down the covers on his bed. Bradley grabbed Brian's I'M BRIAN T-shirt off the floor and put it on Darlene. She let out a soft quack. "She looks so cute in it!" Lucy said. "Yeah, much cuter than Brian when he wears it," Nate said.

达琳。帕尔在后座给了达琳一个狗吻。 布拉德利告诉海波去他家的路。 “把车停在谷仓后面，这样爸爸妈妈就不会看到我们了，”布莱恩告诉海波。 “然后我们都可以从后门溜进去。” 四个孩子，帕尔和抱着达琳的海波，蹑手蹑脚地走进了房子。 布拉德利偷看了一下客厅。 他的父母和乔希在打牌。 布拉德利悄悄地领着其他人上了楼。 他们溜进他的卧室，关上了门。 “这比催眠人有趣多了！”海波说。 “我能躲在哪里？”“在我的衣橱里，”布莱恩说。 “把我的东西踢开。” 但首先，他拉下了床上的被子。 布拉德利从地板上抓起布莱恩的I'M Brian t恤，给达琳穿上。 她轻轻地叫了一声。“她穿起来真可爱！”露西说。 “是啊，比布莱恩戴着它可爱多了，”内特说。

Hypo settled Darlene in Brian's bed. He pulled the covers over her head. "No quacking," Hypo told Darlene. Brian hid under his bed with Pal. Hypo, Nate, and Lucy squeezed into the closet. "Okay, I'll be right back," Bradley whispered. "No giggling!" Nate giggled. Bradley ran down the stairs. He burst into the living room. "Mom! Dad!" he cried. "Something is wrong with Brian! He's in bed making awful sounds!" Bradley's parents dropped their cards and followed Bradley up the stairs. Josh was right behind them, chomping on a cookie. They ran into the twins' bedroom. "See, there he is!" Bradley said, pointing to the lump under Brian's blanket. Bradley's mother pulled the blanket back. "Brian, what are you do—" she started to say. But it wasn't Brian looking back at her.

海波把达琳安置在布莱恩的床上。 他把被子拉到她头上。 “不要嘎嘎叫，”海波告诉达琳。 布莱恩和帕尔躲在床底下。 海波、内特和露西挤进了壁橱。 “好的，我马上回来。”布拉德利低声说。 “不笑!”内特咯咯笑了。 布拉德利跑下楼梯。 他冲进客厅。 “妈妈!爸爸！”他叫道。“布莱恩有点不对劲！”他躺在床上发出可怕的声音！”布拉德利的父母扔下卡片，跟着布拉德利上了楼。 乔什就在他们后面，咬着一块饼干。 他们跑进双胞胎的卧室。 “看，他在那儿！”布拉德利指着布莱恩毯子下的肿块说。 布拉德利的妈妈把毯子拉了回来。 “布莱恩，你在干什么——”她开始说。 但看着她的不是布莱恩。

It was Darlene, the duck. Darlene looked at Mrs. Pinto. Mrs. Pinto looked at Darlene. Under the bed, Brian let out a loud "QUACK, QUACK, QUACK!" Josh burst out laughing. "They got you back, Mom!" he yelled. Then everyone laughed. Nate, Lucy, and Hypo piled out of the closet. They were red from trying not to laugh. The only two not laughing were Darlene and Pal. They just looked at each other as if to say, "Humans are strange!"

是达琳，那只鸭子。达琳看着平托太太。 平托太太看着达琳。 在床底下，布赖恩大声地叫了一声：“呱，呱，呱！”乔希突然大笑起来。 “他们把你抓回来了，妈妈！” 然后大家都笑了。内特、露西和海波从壁橱里涌了出来。 他们憋着不笑，脸都红了。 只有达琳和帕尔没有笑。 他们只是面面相觑，好像在说：“人类真奇怪！”
