THERR WILL BE SHARKS

会有鲨鱼

Sleepy. Sleepier. Sleepiest.... NOT! Stink had to wait. Wait and wait and wait some more for Mom and Dad to come home from their fancy dance. Chloe, the babysitter, was pop-pop- popping popcorn in the kitchen. "Trying to stay awake is worse than holding your breath underwater," Stink told Judy. He yawned. "Why don't you just go to bed?" Judy asked. "Because Mom and Dad went to a thingy." "Uh-huh. A fund-raiser thingy." "And it raises money for your heart." "So?" "So they get to bid on prizes and they might win stuff." "And?" "And if they win the best prize, I get a trip to Montpelier." Stink yawned. "The capital of Vermont?" "No, not Vermont. James Madison's house. Right here in Virginia." "I should have known," said Judy.

困了。昏昏欲睡。沉睡…… 不!臭气不得不等一等。等啊，等啊，等爸爸妈妈跳完花式舞会回来。 保姆克洛伊正在厨房里“啪啪啪”地吃爆米花。 “试图保持清醒比在水下屏住呼吸更糟糕，”臭臭告诉朱迪。 他打了个哈欠。“你为什么不去睡觉呢？”朱迪问。 “因为爸爸妈妈去参加一个聚会了。” “嗯。募捐之类的。” “它还为你的心脏筹集了资金。” “所以?”“所以他们可以竞标奖品，他们可能会赢得一些东西。” “然后呢?”“如果他们赢得了最佳奖，我就能去蒙彼利埃旅行。” 臭打了个哈欠。“佛蒙特州的首府？”“不，不是佛蒙特州。 詹姆斯·麦迪逊的房子。就在弗吉尼亚这里。” “我早该知道的，”朱迪说。

"You get to cook on a fire and dig for old stuff." Stink yawned some more. "And make a brick." "Vermont would be cooler," said Judy. "Vermont has teddy bears and maple syrup and Vermontasaurus." Stink did not hear a word Judy said about Vermont. He had fallen asleep right smack-dab in the middle of the family-room floor, curled up next to Charlie (creepy puppet), Astro (guinea pig), Toady (toad), and Mouse (cat). And Hoodoo, Voodoo, Gilgamesh, and Fred (yarn zombies).

“你可以在火上做饭，挖掘旧东西。” 臭臭又打了个哈欠。“然后做一块砖。” “佛蒙特州会更酷，”朱迪说。 “佛蒙特州有泰迪熊、枫糖浆和佛蒙特龙。” 臭臭根本没听到朱迪说的关于佛蒙特的事。 他正好在家庭娱乐室的中间睡着了，蜷缩在查理（令人毛骨悚然的木偶）、阿斯特罗（豚鼠）、蟾蜍（蟾蜍）和老鼠（猫）旁边。 还有胡都、伏都、吉尔伽美什和弗雷德（纱线僵尸）。

Chloe came back with the popcorn. "Aww. He looks so sweet when he's asleep." "A sleeping Stink is a good thing," said Judy. "We're home!" called Mom and Dad. "Anybody up?" Stink popped up as if he'd never been asleep. "Did we win?" Mom rubbed her feet. Dad took off his tie. Mom hung up her purse. Dad and Mom said goodbye to Chloe. Chloe waved good-bye to Judy and Stink. Stink looked from Mom to Dad. "So, did we win? Did we, did we, did we?" "We won," said Dad. "I won an antique doorstop." Stink's face fell. "Dad's kidding," said Mom. "I won. An autographed cookbook." "What?" said Stink. "The only thing worse than a doorstop is a cookbook!"

克洛伊拿着爆米花回来了。 “哦。他睡着的时候看起来很可爱。” “睡臭是件好事，”朱迪说。 “我们到家了！”爸爸妈妈叫道。 “谁?”臭味突然冒了出来，好像他从来没有睡过。 “我们赢了吗？”妈妈揉了揉脚。 爸爸摘下了领带。妈妈把钱包挂了起来。 爸爸和妈妈向克洛伊告别。 克洛伊向朱迪和臭臭挥手告别。 臭臭看看妈妈，又看看爸爸。 “那么，我们赢了吗？”是不是，是不是，是不是？”“我们赢了，”爸爸说。 “我赢了一个古董门挡。” 臭臭的脸垂了下来。“爸爸在开玩笑，”妈妈说。 “我赢了。一本亲笔签名的烹饪书。” “什么？”臭臭说。“唯一比门挡更糟糕的东西是一本烹饪书！”
