chapter one OK, so... we are going to be eaten. Devoured. Swallowed whole. Or maybe swallowed in bits. Really, whole or bits? Does it matter? Bottom line: EATEN. 'Cause, see that train-sized beast behind us? It's not a train. It's a humongo worm monster. The Wormungulous. Now, why are we running from a humongo worm monster? A very good question.

第一章好，那么……我们要被吃掉了。 吞噬。吞下。 或者被吞食成碎片。 真的吗，整块还是一小块？这有关系吗？ 底线是：被吃掉。看到我们后面那个火车大小的怪物了吗？ 这不是火车。这是一个人猿蠕虫怪物。 Wormungulous。现在，我们为什么要逃离一个人猿蠕虫怪物？ 问得好。

With a very silly answer. We are... Questing! Questing heroically. See, about a month ago, I defeated this big evil beast named Blarg. So I was like, "We're heroes! Post-apocalyptic action heroes. And post- apocalyptic action heroes need quests!" We're basically the modern version of old-timey King Arthur-y knights. And old-timey King Arthur-y knights were always questing all over the place.

用一个非常愚蠢的回答。我们是…… 探索!探索英勇。 大概一个月前，我打败了一个叫布拉格的大恶魔。 所以我说，“我们是英雄！后世界末日的动作英雄。 后末日时代的动作英雄需要任务！”我们基本上就是现代版的亚瑟王骑士。 而旧时代的亚瑟王骑士们总是到处搜寻。

That's when my best friend, Quint Baker, declared, "We should build a bestiary, friend!" What's a bestiary, you ask? Also a good question! I asked Quint the same thing. Quint looked at me like I was completely brain-dead, grabbed the dictionary, and read, "An illustrative, encyclopedic compendium detailing a myriad of mythical creatures." "That just sounds like a fancy way of saying 'monster notebook,'" I said. "But better!" Quint said. "'Notebook' implies school and study. 'Bestiary' implies BEASTS. A book filled with crinkly yellow pages that smell of ancient history." I was def digging that, so I said...

就在那时，我最好的朋友昆特·贝克（Quint Baker）宣布：“朋友，我们应该建一本动物书！”你会问，什么是兽书？ 这也是一个好问题！我问过昆特同样的问题。 昆特看着我，就像我完全脑残了一样，他抓起字典，读道：“一本详述无数神话生物的说明性百科全书。” “这听起来像是‘怪物笔记本’的一种奇特说法，”我说。 “但更好!”五度音说。“‘笔记本’意味着学校和学习。 “beestiary”意味着野兽。 一本满是皱巴巴的黄页，散发着古代历史气息的书。” 我不同意，所以我说…

I am ALL ABOUT building a bestiary! And now we're building a complete bestiary of every single strange creature that has arrived in the town of Wakefield after the Monster Apocalypse began this past summer. You need two things for a bestiary entry: One: a picture. That's my job. You know that's my job 'cause I'm Jack Sullivan, monster

我要做的就是建立一个动物之书！现在我们正在建立一个完整的动物故事，记录了去年夏天怪物启示录开始后来到韦克菲尔德镇的每一个奇怪的生物。 一个动物条目需要两样东西：一是图片。 那是我的工作。你知道那是我的工作，因为我是杰克·苏利文，怪物

photographer extraordinaire. Two: you need INFO. Like stuff about the monster—strengths, weaknesses, where does it hang, what does it eat, what are its hobbies, does it stink like evil, yadda, yadda, yadda. Now, I realize in terms of, like, all-time ultimate heroic quests, "writing a book" doesn't exactly rank up there with Frodo carrying the ring to Mount Doom, but whatever. I learned that just by calling any random old chore a quest, you can make life a LOT more fun. For example... I'm not picking my nose. I'm on a quest to retrieve a long-dormant hunk of snot heroically

摄影师非凡的。 第二：你需要信息。比如怪物的优点，缺点，它在哪里出没，它吃什么，它的爱好是什么，它闻起来像不像恶魔，等等。 现在，我意识到，就终极英雄任务而言，“写一本书”并不能和佛罗多把魔戒带到末日火山相提并论，但不管怎样。 我明白了只要把任何随机的旧杂务称为任务，你就可以让生活变得更有趣。 例如……我没有挖鼻孔。 我要英勇地找回一坨沉睡已久的鼻涕
