5 Costume Day

Five costume day ON WEDNESDAY, THE HALLOWEEN costume contest finally arrived. All the kids excitedly streamed into school in their costumes. The halls and classrooms were filled with witches, goblins, vampires, zombies, werewolves, mummies, cowboys, pirates, princesses, ghosts, ninjas, and animals of all types.

星期三，万圣节服装大赛终于来了。 所有的孩子都穿着戏服兴奋地涌进学校。 大厅和教室里到处都是女巫、妖精、吸血鬼、僵尸、狼人、木乃伊、牛仔、海盗、公主、鬼魂、忍者和各种各样的动物。

Harris clanked his way into school wearing his robot costume. Zeke came in behind him, displaying his true alien form in public for the first time since he arrived on Earth. As soon as Zeke entered the school, he could see kids pointing at him.

哈里斯穿着他的机器人服装叮当作响地走进学校。 齐克在他身后走了进来，这是他来到地球后第一次在公众面前展示他真正的外星人形象。 齐克一进学校，就看到孩子们指着他。

"It's a little scary but actually kind of fun to be out in public in my true form," Zeke whispered to Harris. "Don't worry," Harris said. "Just keep pretending that it's a costume. Nobody will suspect it's real." "Wow! That's the best alien costume I've ever seen," said a girl dressed like a zombie. "How are you floating like that?"

齐克低声对哈里斯说：“以真实的样子出现在公众面前有点可怕，但实际上也很有趣。” “别担心，”哈里斯说。 “继续假装这是一套服装。 没人会怀疑这是真的。” “哇!这是我见过的最好的外星人服装，”一个打扮成僵尸的女孩说。 “你是怎么浮在水面上的？”

"Uh, there's hover technology built into the bottom of the costume, obviously!" said Harris. "You are so going to win the contest," said a boy dressed like lion. "Thank you. I think Harris has a cool costume, too," Zeke said, pointing two of his tentacles at Harris.

“嗯，很明显，这套服装的底部内置了悬停技术！”哈里斯说。 “你一定会赢得比赛的，”一个穿得像狮子的男孩说。 “谢谢。我觉得哈里斯的服装也很酷。”齐克说着，用两只触手指着哈里斯。

"Whoa, nice robot," said the lion, looking over Harris's costume. "That's really cool! Maybe you'll actually win the contest instead of him!" But not everyone was as impressed by Zeke's "costume." A third-grader named Jeremy Jenkins walked up to Zeke and Harris in the hall. He wore a detailed monster costume, complete with fangs, claws, bulging eyes, and shiny, purple fur.

“哇，不错的机器人。”狮子看着哈里斯的服装说。 “太酷了！”也许你真的会代替他赢得比赛！”但并不是每个人都对齐克的“服装”印象深刻。 一个叫杰里米·詹金斯的三年级学生走到大厅里的齐克和哈里斯面前。 他穿着一套精致的怪物服装，有尖牙、爪子、凸出的眼睛和闪亮的紫色皮毛。

"These are the best costumes you guys could get?" Jeremy sneered. "They look cheap and homemade! My parents bought me this awesome monster costume. It was the most expensive one in the store." Jeremy turned to Harris. "You look like a broken microwave," he said.

“这是你们能找到的最好的服装了吗？”杰里米冷笑道。 “它们看起来又便宜又自制！”我父母给我买了这套超赞的怪兽服装。 这是店里最贵的一件。” 杰里米转向哈里斯。“你看起来像个坏了的微波炉，”他说。
