Chapter 21

chapter twenty-one We couldn't destroy a dinky book. How do we destroy a huge monster tree? OK, first, our bestiary is far from dinky. It's basically the opposite of dinky. Second, good point---- I don't have a clue. I turn around, silently cursing myself. Just great, Jack. Just great. Offer up all sorts of answers, but

二十一章我们不能毁掉一本小书。 我们如何摧毁一棵巨大的怪兽树？ 好吧，首先，我们的动物字典一点也不小。 这基本上是丁丁的反义词。 第二，说得好----我不知道。 我转过身，默默地诅咒着自己。 很好，杰克。就好了。 给出各种各样的答案，但是

no solutions. Some hero.... I step out onto the deck, lean over the railing, and sigh deeply. And that's when I see it: Dirk's garden. An idea is forming. I spin around. "Dirk, what's been driving you the most nuts these past weeks?" "Besides you guys?" "Very funny. For real." Dirk shrugs. "I guess the weeds messing with my garden." "And how have you been dealing with these weeds?" I ask. "Been using a spray bottle of weed killer I found at that zombie dude's house down the block."

没有解决方案。一些英雄… 我走到甲板上，靠在栏杆上，深深地叹了口气。 就在那时，我看到了：德克的花园。 一个想法正在形成。我旋转。 “德克，这几个星期是什么事把你逼疯了？”“除了你们吗？”“非常有趣。 真实的。”德克耸了耸肩。“我猜是杂草把我的花园弄乱了。” “你是怎么对付这些杂草的？”我问。 “一直在用我在街区那僵尸家里找到的除草剂喷雾瓶”

That's what we need. Weed killer! Like, an industrial-sized, metric mass load! And then WE BOOM, BLOW up the tree with it! Where are we going to get a metric mass load of weed killer? No one's going to like this. I brace myself for a head-butt. "We have to go back to the mall," I say. "To Lowe's, where Dirk got his gardening supplies. I doubt in the mad looting rampage panic after the Monster Apocalypse anyone was like, 'Honey, don't forget to stock up on weed killer!'"

这就是我们需要的。除草剂!就像工业规模的公制质量负载一样！然后我们砰的一声，用它炸掉树！我们到哪里去弄一大堆除草剂？ 没人会喜欢这样的。 我做好了头撞的准备。 “我们得回商场了，”我说。 “去劳氏，德克在那里买园艺用品。 我怀疑在怪物启示录后的疯狂抢劫狂潮中，有人会说，“亲爱的，别忘了储备除草剂！＇＂

"I'm pretty sure the Wormungulous LIVES at the mall," June points out. "Going back there is probably not smart." I look around. No one looks particularly eager to square off with that giant worm again. Not that I blame them. Quint says, "I had actually drawn up a number of plans and scenarios for how we might reenter the mall..." I light up. Hope! "Great, Quint! And....?" "Each one ends in the same horrible, painful death..." I plop down on the ground. I'm staring at the June Bait and Alfred and the cage. And it hits me. I have a solution. But I don't feel relieved. Now I'm even more terrified. I'm terrified because I know exactly what I have to do next. I know exactly how we can get into the mall and get a metric mass load of weed killer. It requires me, inside Alfred's cage. Acting as bait for the Wormungulous.

“我敢肯定，‘蛔虫’就住在商场里，”琼指出。 “回到那里可能并不明智。” 我环顾四周。没有人看起来特别渴望再次与那只巨大的蠕虫对峙。 我不怪他们。昆特说：“实际上，我已经为我们如何重新进入购物中心制定了许多计划和场景……” 我兴奋起来。希望!“好,五胞胎!和…?”“每个人都以同样可怕、痛苦的死亡告终……” 我扑通一声倒在地上。 我盯着琼·贝特，阿尔弗雷德和笼子。 这让我很震惊。我有办法了。 但我并没有松一口气。 现在我更害怕了。 我很害怕，因为我知道接下来该做什么。 我很清楚我们怎么能进商场弄到一大堆除草剂。 这需要我在阿尔弗雷德的笼子里。 作为虫虫的诱饵。
