Chapter 5

Chapter Five That night, the strange human villain haunts my dreams, like the baddie in an '80s horror movie...

第五章那天晚上，奇怪的人类恶棍出没在我的梦中，就像80年代恐怖电影里的坏蛋……

I wake up shivering. Partly from the cold— because yeah, IT IS FREEZING. My winter sleeping outfit is someone's weird old Halloween CHEWBACCA COSTUME. And Quint's makeshift heater—a bunch of PlayStations and Xboxes piled on top of one another—is not working. But mostly, it's a shiver of fear. That was a human villain. A human villain using MY WEAPON as part of a bad-dude plan. We need to find that human and retrieve my Louisville Slicer. And soon! Because if this monster-riding human decides to attack, I'm afraid we're unprepared.... See, our monster town is now a ghost town. The monsters are huddled up inside stores and shops inside Wakefield Town Square, too terrified of the snow to come out. This must be fixed. I brew some hot chocolate, and the smell soon has my buddies waking. "Guys," I say. "This villain lady knows stuff about .e...c.. So, if a fight goes down—and fights DO KIND OF ALWAYS GO DOWN AROUND HERE—then we need our monster buddies ready to rumble alongside us. And they are not ready to rumble."

我颤抖着醒来。部分原因是寒冷——因为，是的，天气很冷。 我的冬天睡衣是别人的奇怪的旧万圣节CHEWBACCA服装。 昆特的临时取暖装置——一堆playstation和Xboxes堆叠在一起——也不起作用。 但最主要的，是恐惧的颤抖。 那是一个人类恶棍。一个人类恶棍使用我的武器作为坏人计划的一部分。 我们得找到那个人类，拿回我的路易斯维尔切片机。 ,很快!因为如果这个骑着怪物的人类决定进攻，恐怕我们毫无准备.... 看，我们的怪物镇现在变成了鬼城。 这些怪物挤在韦克菲尔德镇广场的商店和商店里，被雪吓得不敢出来。 这个问题必须解决。我煮了一些热巧克力，它的味道很快就把我的朋友吵醒了。 “伙计们，”我说。“这个恶毒的女人知道关于…… 所以，如果发生了一场战斗——战斗在这里总是会发生——那么我们需要我们的怪物伙伴们准备好和我们并肩作战。 他们还没有准备好隆隆作响。”

WE MUST SHOW THEM THE WONDERS OF WINTER. I don't get their problem. WINTTER rules That way when the bad stuff sets off, they won't be too terrified to battle alongside us. Oh, I'll give you a battle follow me. Moments later, we're outside having a— LIGHT-HEARTED, JUST-HORSINGAROUND, BUDDY SNOWBALL BATTLE! "Isn't winter the best?!" I shout as I hurl a snowball. "Such a delight!" June says.

我们必须向他们展示冬天的奇观。 我不明白他们的问题。 冬天的规矩这样当恶势力爆发时，他们就不会害怕到不敢和我们并肩作战了。 哦，我要给你一场战斗，跟我来。 过了一会儿，我们就在外面打一场轻松愉快的，只是随便玩玩的，巴迪雪球大战！“冬天不是最好的吗？！”我一边扔雪球一边大喊。 “太高兴了！”6月说。

Monsters start watching. Some are huddled up in blankets, peering through frosty windows. I think I even see one watching through a mailbox slot. I grin. "Guys, play up the fun!" I whisper. "Everyone loves a good friendly snowball fight!" That's when Quint appears on the deck of the tree house with an armful of snowball artillery. Our old-fashioned snowball battle turns awesomely post-apocalyptic and gadgetfied. Dirk wields our old Tennis Blaster 2000—which is now the Mobile Snow Sphere Slinger—and things get intense...

怪物们开始观察。一些人蜷缩在毯子里，透过结霜的窗户向外张望。 我想我甚至看到一个人透过信箱口在看。 我咧着嘴笑。“伙计们，玩得开心点！”我低语。 “每个人都喜欢友好的打雪仗！”这时昆特出现在树屋的甲板上，手里抱着一堆雪球炮。 我们老式的雪球大战变成了可怕的后世界末日和小工具。 德克挥舞着我们的旧网球爆破器2000——现在是移动雪球弹弓——事情变得激烈起来……

We're all giggling and laughing and freezing. And it's working. A monster comes shambling out and joins the fun! Unfortunately, that monster is Biggun. He scoops up a Biggun-sized snowball and—

我们都在咯咯笑，哈哈大笑，然后冻住了。 这是有效的。一个怪物蹒跚而来，加入了乐趣！不幸的是，那个怪物是Biggun。 他舀起一个大炮大小的雪球，然后

And that's the end of that. The Biggun Blast freezes us to the core. We spend the rest of the day in the tree house, huddled up near the video game systems, trying to get warm. And the monsters are now extra freaked out. They've become afraid of snow in both flake form and ball form.

到此为止。 大枪爆炸把我们冻住了。 那天剩下的时间我们都待在树屋里，挤成一团靠近电子游戏系统，试着取暖。 怪物们现在被吓坏了。 他们开始害怕雪花和球状的雪。
