5 All Tied Up

CHAPTER 5 ALL TIED UP Anti-A jumps to his feet. "Ha-ha!" he cries. "Our trick worked!" "Yeah!" says Terrible-T. "Let's go make some mirror-gang mischief!" "Wait," says Junkyard-J. "What about the chumps?" She points at us. "Maybe we should tie them up so they don't get in our way." "Good idea," says Anti-A. "Anybody got any rope?" "No," says Junkyard-J. "Me neither," says Terrible-T.

Anti-A跳了起来。 “哈哈！”他叫道。“我们的把戏成功了！”“是的！”可怕的t说。 “我们去搞些镜子帮的恶作剧吧！”“等等，”Junkyard-J说。 “那些笨蛋怎么办？”她指着我们。 “也许我们应该把他们绑起来，这样他们就不会妨碍我们了。” “好主意，”Anti-A说。“谁有绳子吗？”“不，”Junkyard-J说。 “我也不知道，”可怕的t说。

"I've got some," says Terry, handing his doppelganger a large coil of rope. "Thanks, pal," sneers Terrible-T. "Don't mention it," says Terry. "What are friends for?" And before we know it, Jill and Terry and I are bound tightly together. "Terry!" I say. "Why did you give him the rope?" "I was just trying to be helpful," says Terry. "And you were," says Terrible-T. "Very, very helpful!"

“我有一些，”特里说，递给他的二重身一大卷绳子。 “谢谢，伙计，”恐怖t冷笑着说。 “别客气，”特里说。 “朋友是干什么用的？”不知不觉，吉尔、特里和我就紧紧地绑在一起了。 “特里!”我说。“你为什么把绳子给他？”“我只是想帮忙，”特里说。 “你确实是，”可怕的t说。 “非常非常有帮助！”

"All right, now let's go have some fun," says Anti- A. "Who's with me?" "Me," says Terrible-T. "And me," says Junkyard-J. "All for one and one for all, let's find some junk and have a ball!" "SO LONG, SUCKERS," calls Anti-A as they run off, laughing.

“好了，现在我们去找点乐子，”Anti- A说。 “谁和我在一起？”“我，”可怕的t说。 “还有我，”Junkyard-J说。 “人人为我，我为人人，让我们找些垃圾来开个舞会吧！”“再见了，笨蛋，”Anti-A一边笑着跑开，一边喊道。

The last thing we hear before the elevator doors slide shut is Terrible-T saying, "I smell gingerbread— let's go eat it!" "And I smell junk!" shouts Junkyard-J. "Let's go grab it!" "Well, this is just great, isn't it?" I say. "The mirror gang are going to eat all our gingerbread and steal all our junk while we're stuck here tied up with rope that you gave them, Terry." "Look on the bright side, Andy," says Terry. "At least we're not at school!" "And you do have a lot of gingerbread," says Jill. "And a lot of junk, for that matter! It's not like you'll miss any."

在电梯门关上之前，我们听到的最后一句话是：“我闻到了姜饼的味道，我们去吃吧！”“我闻到了垃圾的味道！”Junkyard-J喊道。 “我们去拿吧！”“嗯，这真是太棒了，不是吗？”我说。 “当我们被你给他们的绳子绑在这里的时候，镜子帮会吃掉我们所有的姜饼，偷走我们所有的垃圾，特里。” “往好的方面看，安迪，”特里说。 “至少我们不在学校！”“你有很多姜饼，”吉尔说。 “还有一大堆垃圾！”你又不会错过什么。”

"Are you kidding?" I say. "All our junk is essential!" "If it's essential, then it's not junk," says Jill. "So there's nothing to worry about." "That sounds like the 3-D videophone ringing," says Terry. "That's because it is the 3-D videophone ringing," I say. "Thank goodness. We can ask whoever it is to send help. Quick, answer it."

“你在开玩笑吧？”我说。“我们所有的垃圾都是必不可少的！”吉尔说：“如果它是必需品，那么它就不是垃圾。” “所以没什么好担心的。” “听起来像是3d可视电话在响，”特里说。 “那是因为是3d可视电话在响，”我说。 “谢天谢地。我们可以让他来帮忙。 快回答。”

"I can't," says Terry. "I'm tied up, remember?" "Oh yeah," I say. "Me too. Jill?"

“我不能，”特里说。“我被绑住了，记得吗？”“哦，是的，”我说。 “我也是。吉尔?”
