Chapter 12

chapter twelve June looks like some sort of crazed killer Amazonian warrior princess! She's got a broom handle carved into a spear and her hair is whipping around like there's a breeze but there's no breeze it's just her hair being, like, wicked. We're here to rescue you! Friend, she doesn't 100k like She needs rescuing, June, you look awesome. I had a few different ideas about how this rescue

第十二章琼看起来像个疯狂的亚马逊女战士公主！她的扫帚柄被雕刻成长矛她的头发像微风一样飘动但是没有风只是她的头发有点邪恶。 我们是来救你的！朋友，她不觉得她需要救援，琼，你看起来棒极了。 我对这次营救有一些不同的想法

might go down. Most of them looked something like this: MY HERO. But none of them looked like this... what's happening now—

可能会下降。他们中的大多数看起来像这样：我的英雄。 但没有一个是这样的…… 现在发生什么事了——

you need to leave. NOW! "But we're here to rescue you!" I say. "I don't need rescuing," June says coolly. "Of course you do!" I exclaim. "You're trapped here! I knew it 'cause I saw your sweatshirt in the window. The red one with the yellow stripes!" June looks at me like I'm a creeper. "You know what clothes I own?" Guess I do sound like a creeper. "Um, I just pay attention to those things, I guess..." I mumble. "I'm, ah, observant." June frowns. "That's a little cute and a little

你得离开。现在!“但我们是来救你的！”我说。 “我不需要救援，”琼冷冷地说。 “你当然知道！”我惊叫。 “你被困在这里了！”我知道是因为我在橱窗里看到了你的运动衫。 红色带黄色条纹的那件！”琼看我的眼神就像我是个爬山虎。 “你知道我有什么衣服吗？”我听起来确实像个讨厌鬼。 “嗯，我只是关注这些事情，我想……” 我听不清。“我，啊，观察力很强。” 六月皱眉。“这有点可爱，有点

weird. But I don't need help. "But you should come with us! We have a whole tree housel It'S got crazy gadgets and video games and a toilet bucket and it'S pretty much the Lest! Nope Really, Totally good here. "Jack," she says, "my parents are coming to rescue me. All I need to do is wait here. What I don't need is three idiot boys running around, bringing zombie balls upstairs. Understand?" "How do you know your parents are coming?" "I just know, OK?" she says, her voice harsh. "Look, June, I don't think you understand. You're probably in shock. See, I am pretty, pretty awesome. I'm like a post-apocalyptic James Bond. I

奇怪。但我不需要帮助。 “但是你应该和我们一起去！”我们有一个完整的树屋，里面有疯狂的小玩意和电子游戏，还有一个马桶桶，它几乎是最便宜的！不，真的，这里很好。 “杰克，”她说，“我父母来救我了。 我只需要在这里等着。 我可不想看到三个傻小子跑来跑去，把僵尸球带到楼上。 明白了吗?”“你怎么知道你父母要来？”“我就是知道，好吗？”她说，声音很刺耳。 “听着，琼，我想你不明白。 你可能很震惊。你看，我非常非常棒。 我就像后世界末日的詹姆斯·邦德。 我

mean, I've got a license to kill monsters." June looks at me like she's going to feed me to the zombies herself. "No, for real, I do. See?" I say, handing June a piece of paper. She takes the paper, eyes it suspiciously, then looks up and says, "Jack, this is a torn-off piece of a Denny's menu that you wrote 'License to Kill Monsters' on." I cross my arms, lean against a locker, and smile like a boss. "Yup. Sick, right? You should feel honored that I'm here to rescue you." June is less than impressed. "You spelled 'license' wrong." I shrug. "Spelling doesn't matter when it comes to killing monsters." "Yeah, but killing does matter. And you spelled 'kill' wrong, too. You used three L's." "That's on purpose. The extra L is for extra monster killing."

我是说，我有杀怪物的执照。” 琼看我的眼神就像要亲手把我喂僵尸一样。 “不，说真的，我喜欢。看到了什么?”我说着，递给琼一张纸。 她接过纸，怀疑地看了看，然后抬起头说：“杰克，这是一张撕下来的丹尼菜单，你在上面写了‘杀怪许可证’。” 我双臂交叉，靠在储物柜上，像老板一样微笑。 “是的。生病了,对吧?我能来救你，你应该感到荣幸。” 琼对此不以为然。 “你把‘许可证’拼错了。” 我耸耸肩。“在杀死怪物时，拼写并不重要。” “是的，但是杀戮确实重要。 你还把kill拼错了。 你用了三个L。”“这是故意的。 额外的L代表额外的怪物杀戮。”

"JACK! I DON'T NEED RESCUING!" Whoa. Dirk, Quint, and I exchange freaked-out glances. Angry girls are more terrifying than any beasts. After a moment, June catches her breath. "Look, Jack, guys, thank you for coming here. Glad to know other people are alive. But I don't need rescuing, and, really, I'd like you to leave. Please." I take a step back. I don't understand—I've come this far. I've searched high and low for June. And now that I've finally found her—she has no interest in being rescued?! No. Doesn't jibe.

“杰克!我不需要救援！”哇。 德克、昆特和我惊恐地交换了一下目光。 愤怒的女孩比任何野兽都可怕。 过了一会儿，琼喘了口气。 “听着，杰克，伙计们，谢谢你们来这里。 很高兴知道其他人还活着。 但我不需要拯救，而且，真的，我希望你离开。 请。”我后退了一步。 我不明白，我已经走了这么远。 我到处找琼。 现在我终于找到她了，她居然一点兴趣都没有！否。 不嘲笑。
