9 Tooth and Claw

TOOTH AND CLAW

牙齿和爪子

They were all out of breath by the time they got back to their sleeping bags. Stink's heart was still drum-beating in his chest. Judy came up behind them and crawled into her bag. Sophie pulled her bag up to her chin. "Sorry we didn't find Mr. Crab Cakes," Stink said to Sophie. "We'll search again in the morning. In the light." Sophie let out a yawn. "Good night, sleep tight," said Stink. "Don't let the jellyfish bite!" He tried to quiet his thumping heart, but Stink couldn't stop thinking about Bloody Mary. "Hey, Webster. Let's go brush our teeth one more time." Webster looked in the restroom mirror. He stuck his finger in the hole where his tooth had been.

他们回到睡袋时都上气不接下气了。 臭臭的心还在胸腔里咚咚直跳。 朱迪走到他们后面，爬进她的包里。 索菲把包拉到下巴。 “对不起，我们没有找到蟹饼先生。”臭臭对索菲说。 “我们明天早上再找。 在光明里。”索菲打了个哈欠。 “晚安，睡个好觉。”臭臭说。 “别让水母咬！”他试着让怦怦直跳的心平静下来，但臭臭还是忍不住想起血腥玛丽。 “嘿,韦伯斯特。我们再去刷一次牙吧。” 韦伯斯特照照洗手间的镜子。 他把手指插进原来牙齿的洞里。

"Does it hurt?" Stink asked. "Nah. It just feels funny. But it makes me look so cool! Like a bad-guy pirate." Stink squeezed the toothpaste too fast and it got on his finger. Then he scratched his nose. "You have green gunk on your nose," said Webster. "And it's snot snot!" "Hey, now I know how I can prank Judy. For realsies. C'mon. Bring toothpaste." "But she said no more pranks. And you promised." "She said no more pranks tonight. But it's one minute after midnight! So that was last night. Besides, I had my fingers crossed."

“疼吗？”臭问道。 “不。只是感觉很好笑。 但是它让我看起来很酷！就像一个坏蛋海盗。” 臭臭把牙膏挤得太快，弄到他的手指上了。 然后他搔了搔鼻子。 韦伯斯特说：“你鼻子上有绿色的粘稠物。” “这是鼻涕！”“嘿，现在我知道怎么捉弄朱迪了。 realsies。来吧。把牙膏。” 但她说不要再搞恶作剧了。 你答应过的。”“她说今晚不要再搞恶作剧了。 但现在是午夜过后一分钟！这是昨晚的事。 再说，我已经祈祷了。”

Judy was dead to the world. Stink squirted toothpaste on the tips of her fingers. Then he blew on her face. Judy reached up to scratch her nose. She scratched her forehead. In no time, she had ooeygooey green toothpaste all over her face! "Judy is going to think she got vampire-squid slimed!" said Stink, pleased with himself. Finally, Stink and Webster crawled inside their sleeping bags. Even Stink was dog tired now. Dogfish tired. Webster put his tooth in the blue-shark Tooth- Fairy pillow. He put the blue-shark Tooth-Fairy pillow under his regular pillow. "Night, Sting," he whispered.

朱迪对世界麻木不仁。 臭气把牙膏喷到她的指尖上。 然后他朝她脸上吹了口气。朱迪伸手去抓她的鼻子。 她搔了搔额头。 很快，她的脸上就沾满了粘稠的绿色牙膏！“朱迪会以为她被吸血鬼鱿鱼粘了！”臭臭说，对自己很满意。 最后，臭臭和韦伯斯特爬进了他们的睡袋。 现在连臭臭也累坏了。 角鲨累。韦伯斯特把他的牙齿放在蓝鲨牙仙枕头里。 他把蓝鲨牙仙枕头放在普通枕头下面。 “晚安，斯汀。”他低声说。

But all the Sting had already gone out of Stink. He did not have to count sharks or pancakes or sheep. He was Z-for-Zonked-Out. The next morning, Stink woke up to see sharks zooming around their tanks. He rolled over. "Webster? You awake?" "Huh? Wha?" Webster felt for his glasses and put them on. "Oh, it's you. I thought you were the Tooth Fairy." He reached under his pillow and pulled out his Tooth-Fairy pillow. He felt inside the shark's mouth. "My tooth is still in here. And there's no money!" Webster showed Sophie. "Nada. Big fat zero." "Don't worry," said Sophie, who was already awake. "The Tooth Fairy just didn't know you were on a sleepover at the aquarium." "Really?" said Webster. "Trust me. I'm an expert when it comes to all things Toot Fairy." "Toot Fairy?" Webster cracked up.

但是臭味已经完全消失了。 他不需要数鲨鱼、煎饼或羊。 他完全昏过去了。第二天早上，臭臭醒来时看到鲨鱼在它们的水箱周围游动。 他翻了个身。“韦伯斯特?你醒了吗?”“嗯? 世界卫生大会?”韦伯斯特摸着眼镜戴上了。 “哦，是你。我还以为你是牙仙呢。” 他把手伸到枕头下面，拿出牙仙子的枕头。 他在鲨鱼嘴里摸了摸。 “我的牙还在这里。 而且没有钱！”韦伯斯特指给索菲看。 “没有什么结果。大大的零。”“别担心。”苏菲说，她已经醒了。 “牙仙子只是不知道你在水族馆过夜。” “真的吗？”韦伯斯特说。“相信我。 关于嘟嘟仙子，我是一个专家。” “嘟嘟声仙女?”韦伯斯特大笑起来。

"That's what my little sister, Mimi, calls the Tooth Fairy." Just then, Judy sat up. Her hair was a bird's-nest mess. Her face was a map of green polka dots. "Measles! You have green measles!" Sophie cried. "On your face!" Stink and Webster laughed their pajama pants off. "What?" Judy asked. She touched her face. Not one, not two, but three green measles fell into her hand. Judy jumped up and ran for the bathroom. "I'm going to get you for this, Stinker!"

“我的小妹妹咪咪就是这么叫牙仙的。” 就在这时，朱迪坐了起来。她的头发乱糟糟的。 她的脸是一张绿色圆点的地图。 “麻疹!你得了绿麻疹！”索菲娅哭了。 “在你脸上！”臭臭和韦伯斯特笑掉了他们的睡裤。 “什么?”朱迪问。她摸了摸自己的脸。 不是一个，也不是两个，而是三个绿麻疹落在她手里。 朱迪跳起来向浴室跑去。 “我要让你为此付出代价，臭鼬！”
