19 The Midnight Raid

The Midnight Raid Oopsiekins," said the beast, raising a tiny hand to its mouth. Its eyes returned to normal, and its voice was no longer trembling with rage. "I have no idea where that came from. Maybe I'm allergywergey to cheese sandwiches."

午夜突袭乌普西金。”野兽说，举起一只小手到嘴边。 它的眼睛恢复了正常，声音也不再因愤怒而颤抖了。 “我不知道这是从哪里来的。 也许我对奶酪三明治过敏。”

Bethany was furious with how quickly the beast had snapped out of its hangry rage. She had been so awed by its behavior that she hadn't managed to push the button in time. "Oh, don't pretend like you don't know what that was," said Bethany. "It wasn't cheese that made you like that, it was the meat hidden underneath it." "Whaaaaat?" The beast looked genuinely horrified. "You fed me meatsies? Whyever would you do that?" "To save the neighborhood from whatever evil scheme you've got for it," said Bethany. "I knew a taste of meat would bring out the real you." "But that wasn't the real me! The sandwich unleashy-weashed something…" The beast looked at its belly, as if unable to articulate

伯大尼对野兽这么快就从饥饿的愤怒中挣脱出来感到非常愤怒。 她被它的行为吓坏了，没能及时按下按钮。 “哦，别假装你不知道那是什么，”宝芬妮说。 “让你变成那样的不是奶酪，而是奶酪下面藏着的肉。” “Whaaaaat ?”野兽看上去真的吓坏了。 “你喂我吃肉？”你为什么要这么做？”“为了把这个社区从你的邪恶计划中拯救出来，”宝芬妮说。 “我就知道，尝尝肉的味道，就会发现真正的你。” “但那不是真正的我！”那只野兽看着自己的肚子，似乎说不出话来

the horrors dwelling inside it. "Unleashy-weashed something… nastykins." At that moment, Ebenezer came bumbling downstairs with two armfuls of antique silver. Both piles kept wobbling from side to side, but somehow he managed not to drop any of it. "What was that sound?" asked Ebenezer, as he laid the silver in front of the beast. "I could have sworn I heard something." "Your ears must need a licky-wick. No noisies here!" said the beast. It let out a laugh that sounded like a goat farting, followed by a stinky fake yawn. "Oofsies. I'm awfully tiredykins. Time for beddy-byes." "No!" shouted Bethany. "You did hear something. It was the sound of the beast revealing that it's still evil!"

里面的恐怖。 “被洗过的东西……讨厌的东西。” 就在这时，埃比尼泽抱着两抱古董银器，步履蹒跚地走下楼来。 两堆东西不停地摇晃着，但不知怎么的，他一个也没有掉下来。 “那是什么声音？”埃比尼泽问，他把银子放在野兽面前。 “我发誓我听到了什么声音。” “你的耳朵一定需要一个舔芯。 这里不要吵闹！”野兽说。 它发出一声大笑，听起来像山羊放屁，接着是一个臭气熏天的假哈欠。 “Oofsies。我累坏了。 到睡觉时间了。”“不！”宝芬妮喊道。 “你确实听到了一些声音。这是野兽的声音，表明它仍然是邪恶的！”

"Oh, Bethany, when are you going to give this up?" asked Ebenezer in exasperation. He turned to the beast. "Don't you want to treat yourself to a nibble of all this silver I've brought you?" "Oh nooosies," said the beast. It climbed into its canoe and wiggled its fingers. "Not hungry anymore." Bethany opened her mouth to try to tell Ebenezer again about what had happened, before realizing that he would never believe her whilst the beast was looking so well- behaved. If she wanted to convince him of the truth, then she'd have to find a way of feeding it again. "Yeah, well, I'm REALLY HUNGRY!" she shouted. "IN FACT, I THINK I'M GOING TO MAKE MYSELF A SANDWICH USING

“噢，伯大尼，你打算什么时候放弃呢？”埃比尼泽恼怒地问。 他转向野兽。“你不想犒劳自己一口我给你带来的银器吗？”“哦，不，”野兽说。 它爬上独木舟，扭动着手指。 “不再饿了。”伯大尼张开嘴，想把发生的事再告诉埃比尼泽一遍，但她意识到，在这头野兽看起来这么乖的时候，埃比尼泽永远不会相信她。 如果她想让他相信真相，那她就得想办法让他相信真相。 “是啊，好吧，我真的很饿！”她喊道。 事实上，我想我要用

INGREDIENTS FROM ONE OF THE REALLY MEATY FRIDGES!" The beast paused on the staircase for a moment. Then it whooshed the canoe back up to the attic. "A late-night sandwich, eh?" asked Ebenezer. "Mmm, that does sound rather tasty. Would you mind making me one as well?" Bethany looked at Ebenezer, unable to believe how he was so stupid. "Bog off and make one yourself, Ebenezer. I'm going to bed, and I'm gonna sleep down here," she said. She stomped into the front sitting room and slumped on a sofa. "Are you quite sure, Bethany?" asked Ebenezer. "Shouldn't you try to get the best

食材来自一个真正的肉质冰箱！”野兽在楼梯上停了一会儿。 然后，它嗖地把独木舟推回到阁楼上。 “一个深夜的三明治，嗯？”埃比尼泽问。 “嗯，听起来确实很好吃。 你介意给我也做一个吗？”宝芬妮看着埃比尼泽，不敢相信他竟然如此愚蠢。 “去吧，你自己做一个吧，埃比尼泽。 我要去睡觉了，我要睡在这里，”她说。 她大步走进前客厅，瘫坐在沙发上。 以比尼谢说：“伯大尼，你有把握吗？” “你不应该争取最好的吗？

sleep possible for this sweetshop thingy tomorrow?" "I'll sleep where I flipping want," said Bethany. "Right—yes, of course," said Ebenezer. He scratched his head. "Um, well, I suppose I'll head up as well. Nighty night!" Bethany responded to the nighty night by blowing a raspberry. She waited until she heard him leave, and then she sat back up again. She had stayed downstairs because she was certain that the beast would make its way back down here to have its wicked way with the meat fridges. She switched off all the lights, so that the beast would think the coast was clear. Now all she had to do was wait.

明天去糖果店可以睡觉吗？”“我想睡哪儿就睡哪儿，”宝芬妮说。 “对，是的，当然，”埃比尼泽说。 他挠了挠头。“嗯，好吧，我想我也要去。 晚安!”贝瑟妮对这个晚安的回应是吹一声覆盆子。 她一直等到听到他离开，才又坐了起来。 她一直呆在楼下，因为她确信那只野兽会跑到这里来，对冰箱里的肉为所欲为。 她关掉了所有的灯，这样野兽就会认为已经安全了。 现在她所要做的就是等待。
