13 The Last

CHAPTER 13 THE LAST CHAPTER We look down. Yep, you guessed it. It's the puddle. 'How interesting!' says Jill, crouching down to study it more closely. 'A talking puddle!' 'That's the one we were telling you about,' says Terry. 'The not-very-Christmassy snowman puddle. I wouldn't get too close if I were you. It's not very nice

第十三章最后一章我们往下看。 是的，你猜对了。这是水坑。 “多么有趣!吉尔说着，蹲下来更仔细地研究它。 “会说话的水坑！”“那就是我们跟你说过的那个，”特里说。 “不太圣诞的雪人水坑。 如果我是你，我不会靠得太近。 这不是很好

and it's vowed never-ending revenge on us.' But before Jill can move away, the puddle rises up, grabs her around the waist and drags her in.

它发誓要永远报复我们。”但吉尔还没来得及离开，水坑就上来了，抓住她的腰，把她拖了进去。

'Let me go!' yells Jill. 'Not until Andy and Terry agree to get out of my treehouse!' it yells back. 'That's not going to happen,' I say. 'Let her go, or we'll stomp you so hard you'll be nothing but water vapour!'

“放开我!”吉尔喊道。“除非安迪和特里同意离开我的树屋！”它喊道。 “那是不可能的，”我说。 “放开她，不然我们就狠狠地踩你，把你踩成水蒸气！”

'Stomp me and you'll stomp Jill!' says the puddle. 'And you don't want that, do you?' 'No, I don't,' I say. 'That does it. Now you've gone too far.'

“踩我，你就要踩吉尔！”水坑说。 “你不希望那样，是吗？”“不，我不知道，”我说。 “就是这样。现在你太过分了。”

'Not as far as you're going,' replies the puddle. 'Now hurry up and leave, or I'll drown your little animal-loving pal here!' 'You won't be drowning anybody and we're not going anywhere,' says Terry. 'In fact, it's you who's leaving —and very soon, too.'

“不像你走得那么远。”水坑回答。 “现在快走吧，不然我就把你的小动物朋友淹死在这儿！”“你不会淹死任何人的，我们哪儿也不去，”特里说。 “事实上，是你要走了——而且很快就要走了。”

Terry grabs our endlessly expandable Christmas stockings from the fireplace and throws one to me. 'Ooh, I'm so scared of your stockings,' says the puddle sarcastically.

特里从壁炉里抓起我们无限膨胀的圣诞袜，扔给我一只。 “哦，我好怕你的长袜，”水坑讽刺地说。
