Chapter 7

Chapter Seven So it's called Christmas. And it's my favorite thing ever Coming into town, it's clear that June has basically declared herself the mayor of Christmas. Which— let's be honest—is a pretty rad title. But it also means we can't mess up because if Christmas is

第七章所以它被称为圣诞节。 这是我最喜欢的事情来到镇上，很明显，June基本上宣布自己是圣诞节的市长。 老实说，这是一个相当酷的标题。 但这也意味着我们不能搞砸，因为如果圣诞节是

lousy, who's everyone gonna blame? The Mayor of Christmas, that's who. The monsters ask a few questions—and I realize, they are fair questions... OK, so they're confused by stockings and the trees. But we have an ace up our sleeve. A grand salami we can pull from our back

烂人，大家会怪谁呢？ 圣诞市长，就是他。 怪物们问了几个问题——我意识到，这些问题都很公平…… 好吧，他们被长袜和树搞混了。 但我们还有王牌。 一个我们可以从背后拉出来的大香肠

pocket. Something guaranteed to get everyone wet- your-pants excited. I race up to join June in the tree house. I stare at the monster crowd below, and I exclaim, "GIFTS! PRESENTS!" "Gurfts?" a monster asks. "Prezeezes?" another says. "Hold up," June says. "Do you guys not know what gifts are? Presents?" Apparently, the entire concept of gift giving is totally foreign to the monsters! It simply does not exist in their dimension. Just like they have stuff that doesn't exist in our dimension, that we think is weird. For example...

口袋里。保证让每个人都兴奋得尿裤子。 我跑上去和琼一起住在树屋里。 我盯着下面人山人海的人群，惊呼道：“礼物！礼物!”“Gurfts?”一个怪物问道。 “奖品？”另一个说。 “等一下，”琼说。“你们不知道什么是礼物吗？” 礼物?”显然，送礼的整个概念对怪物来说是完全陌生的！它根本不存在于他们的维度中。 就像他们有一些在我们的次元里不存在的东西，我们觉得很奇怪。 例如……

YOU'VE NEVER DINED ON YOUR MATE'S HAIR AS A SIGN OF COMPANIONSHIP. HOW STRANGE you HUMANS ARE, MONK, YOU ARE SUCH A FINE COMRADE, A cheerful monster named Murgy chirps up. "You give an item to another being? To make them feel good? Gifts sound simply joyous!" With that, the monsters are in. And now, we all must put together... THE ULTIMATE END-OF-THE-WORLD CHRISTMAS! First up: the TREE. We need a whopper. No dinky, half-dead Charlie Brown thing here. I want a

你从来没有吃过伴侣的头发作为友谊的象征。 你是多么奇怪的人类，和尚，你是这样一个好同志，一个快乐的怪物叫Murgy。 “你把东西给了另一个人？” 让他们感觉良好？礼物听起来简直令人愉快！”这样一来，怪物就进来了。 现在，我们必须团结起来…… 终极的世界末日圣诞节！第一个：树。 我们需要一个巨无霸。不像查理·布朗那样半死不活。 我想要一个

full-on Rockefeller Center deal! I mean, we can grab any tree we want from anywhere! No trekking out to the tree stand and lamely just pointing at one. No, we do it post-apocalyptic style.... Next: decorating this bad boy. The key to killer Christmas tree decorating is good ornaments. Sadly, we have zero ornaments. But our neighbors do! We raid nearby houses, digging through garages and basements. I find

洛克菲勒中心的大交易！我的意思是，我们可以从任何地方找到我们想要的树！没有长途跋涉到树桩，跛着脚指着一棵。 不，我们用后世界末日的方式.... 下一步：装饰这个坏男孩。 杀手级圣诞树装饰的关键是好的装饰品。 遗憾的是，我们没有装饰品。 但是我们的邻居有！我们突袭了附近的房屋，在车库和地下室里挖掘。 我发现

ornaments and lights and tinsel—and also a few gnarly surprises.... This is terrifying, But I got good bulbs Problem: Our tree's height makes decorating difficult. But it's all good. Quint takes a break from studying Evie Snark's reading list to trick out an old leaf blower, turning it into the... BULB BLASTER! It can practically send ornaments into orbit!

装饰品、彩灯和金属箔，还有一些令人惊讶的东西.... 这很可怕，但我有很好的球茎问题：我们树的高度使装饰变得困难。 但这一切都很好。昆特在研究伊维·斯纳克的阅读清单时休息了一下，改装了一台旧吹叶机，把它变成了…… 灯泡导火线!它几乎可以把装饰品送入轨道！
