5 Eau de Corpse Flower

Eau de CORSPSE FLOWER

淡尸花

On Saturday morning, Stink could not wait to start his new career. He set up his lab in the kitchen sink. He laid out tweezers and eyedroppers on a towel. He lined up ten empty little spice jars on the counter. He collected a whole jar of real toilet water— from the toilet! Perfect! The doorbell rang. "Hi, Eliz— I mean, Sophie of the Elves," Judy said. "C'mon in. Dr. Frankenstink is in his lab. Stink! Your friend with the funny name is here!" Stink came out of the kitchen wearing Mom's apron and green rubber scrub gloves. "Hi, Sophie," said Stink.

星期六早上，臭臭迫不及待地开始了他的新事业。 他把实验室设在厨房的水槽里。 他把镊子和滴管放在毛巾上。 他在柜台上排列了十个空的小香料罐。 他从厕所里收集了整整一罐真正的花露水！完美!门铃响了。 “嗨，伊莉兹——我是说，精灵的苏菲，”朱迪说。 “来吧。弗兰肯臭味博士在他的实验室里。 臭!你那个叫怪名字的朋友来了！”臭臭穿着妈妈的围裙，戴着绿色的橡胶手套，从厨房里出来了。 “嗨，苏菲。”臭臭说。

"Stink's making stinky perfume," Judy explained, drawing circles in the air for the cuckoo sign. "Want to help?" Stink asked. "Sure," said Sophie. "I like making magic potions and stuff." "Magic potions!" said Judy. "You mean love potions?"

“臭气使香水变臭了，”朱迪解释道，一边在空中画着圆圈，作为布谷鸟的标志。 “想帮忙吗？”臭问道。 “当然可以。”索菲说。“我喜欢制作魔法药水之类的东西。” “魔药！”朱迪说。 “你是说爱情药水？”

"Let's go," said Stink. "Maybe we can make some potions that turn big sisters into warthogs." Back in the Franken-stink lab, Stink got out Mom's measuring cups and spoons. Sophie stirred together spices and food coloring. "Are you entering the smelly sneaker contest next Saturday?" she asked Stink. "Definitely," said Stink. "Me too," Sophie said. Stink looked down at Sophie's sneakers. They were bad, all right. Her toe poked out of one, the laces were almost black, and the tongues hung sideways, worse than a slobbery dog. "They smell like a swamp!" said Stink, even though he knew his stinkers could beat hers any day. "And these aren't even my worst pair!" Sophie grinned.

“我们走吧。”臭臭说。“也许我们可以制作一些药剂，让大姐姐变成疣猪。” 回到臭弗兰肯实验室，臭臭拿出了妈妈的量杯和勺子。 索菲把香料和食用色素搅拌在一起。 “你要参加下周六的臭运动鞋比赛吗？”她问臭臭。 “当然。”臭臭说。“我也是。”苏菲说。 臭臭低头看着苏菲的运动鞋。 他们是坏人，好吧。她的脚趾从一只鞋里伸出来，鞋带几乎是黑的，舌头横着挂在一边，比一只流口水的狗还糟糕。 “它们闻起来像沼泽！”臭臭说，尽管他知道他的臭臭随时都可能打败她。 “这还不是我最差的一双呢！”苏菲笑了。

Uh-oh, thought Stink. "Well, I sure hope one of us wins," Sophie said. "Yeah, and I hope the one of us is me!" Stink joked.

啊哦，臭臭想。“好吧，我真希望我们中有一个能赢。” “是的，我希望我们中的一个是我！”臭开玩笑说。

"Here, add some toilet water," Stink said, pouring the water from the toilet into the blender. They added green pickle juice. They added P.U. garlic. They added slimy dead-flower water. "Disgusting," said Sophie, staring at the oogey green murk in the blender. "What else stinks around here?" asked Stink. "Besides you?" said Judy, walking past the kitchen. "Hardee-har-har," said Stink. "This potion smells bad, but it's not even close to corpse flower," said Stink. He ran upstairs and came back in a flash, holding up a small, amber glass vial. "Toad food!" "Tofu?" asked Sophie. "Tofu doesn't smell." "No, toad food. Actually, it's dead shrimp eggs from my science kit. Even Toady won't eat it." Stink shook the bottle till it was empty, then pushed the buttons on the blender. Mix. Whip. Puree. LIQUEFY! Stink and Sophie watched the

“来，加一些花露水。”臭臭说着，把马桶里的水倒进搅拌器里。 他们加入了青菜汁。 他们加入了P.U.大蒜。他们加了黏糊糊的死花水。 “真恶心。”苏菲盯着搅拌器里那黏糊糊的绿色浆糊说。 “这附近还有什么东西发臭？” “除了你？”朱迪走过厨房时说。 “哈——哈——哈，”臭臭说。 “这药水闻起来很难闻，但跟尸花还差得远呢。”臭臭说。 他跑上楼，一眨眼就拿着一个琥珀色的小玻璃瓶跑了回来。 “蟾蜍食物!”“豆腐？”苏菲问。 “豆腐没有味道。”“不，是蟾蜍的食物。 其实是我科学工具箱里的死虾卵。 就连癞蛤蟆也不吃。”臭臭摇晃着瓶子，直到瓶子空了，然后按了按搅拌器的按钮。 混合。鞭子。泥。溶解!臭臭和索菲看着
