Chapter 5

chapter five In the movies, everyone's like, "Road trip!" and the next scene is a big shot of a convertible cruising down the highway and there's a fun road trip song blasting. But in real life, you gotta do stuff first: like pack. Packing is awful, so I decide I'll only bring a few of my favorite things. But then I realize, all my things are my favorite things. I wouldn't have them if they weren't my favorite.

第五章在电影里，每个人都在说“公路旅行”下一个场景是一辆敞篷车在高速公路上行驶的大镜头还有一首有趣的公路旅行歌曲。 但在现实生活中，你得先做点事，比如打包。 打包很麻烦，所以我决定只带几件我最喜欢的东西。 但后来我意识到，我所有的东西都是我最喜欢的东西。 如果不是我最喜欢的，我也不会买。

I need the microwave. This toilet, that fancy fur hat. And this pile of stale Snickers bars. The couch, The window from the western wall. And this pocket linen. I've been collecting the stereo system, my books. eh forget the books, but I also need my key chain collection. And c'mon, jerk. Of course, I also have to bring my Zombie Squad—and I don't think they'll fit in the back seat. But just as I'm realizing I have a problem— I learn that Quint has already solved that problem. The tree house starts shaking and I hear the song from The Goonies blasting from some very serious speakers. I rush out onto the deck. My

我需要微波炉。这个厕所，那顶漂亮的皮帽。 还有这堆过期的士力架。 沙发，西墙上的窗户。 还有这个口袋麻布。我一直在收集立体声系统，我的书。 呃，别管书了，我还需要我的钥匙链。 来吧，混蛋。当然，我还得带上我的僵尸小队——我觉得他们坐不进后座。 但就在我意识到我有一个问题的时候，我得知昆特已经解决了这个问题。 树屋开始摇晃，我听到七宝奇谋的歌从一些非常严肃的扬声器里传出来。 我冲到甲板上。我的

eyes can barely believe the vehicle I see rumbling to a stop down below..... BIG MAMA ROAD TRIP EDITION In a flash, I'm downstairs, running my hand along the massive new version of Big Mama. "Check this out!" Quint says. "The motorhome is connected to the back of Big Mama, so we can go to and fro without stopping." "I'm all about going to and fro!"

眼睛几乎不能相信我看到的车辆隆隆地停在下面..... 转瞬之间，我在楼下，用我的手抚摸着新版的《大妈妈》。 “看看这个！”五度音说。 “这辆房车连接在‘大妈’的后面，所以我们可以来回行驶而不用停车。” “我就是来来回回的！”

"And back here," Quint says, pointing to a big horse-trailer type thing, "is where your zombies can stay." Monsters are piling out of Joe's to see our new tricked-out ride. Seeing our monster friends together like this makes me realize, again, that this is actually happening. We're saying good-bye—for I dunno how long—to the tree house and Wakefield and our monster friends. And that means there's no way we can leave town without having one final... MEGA MONSTER GOOD-BYE CELEBRATION PIZZA BASH AT JOE'S!

“后面这里，”昆特指着一个大拖车式的东西说，“是你的僵尸可以呆的地方。” 怪物们从乔家蜂拥而出想看我们的新车。 看到我们的怪物朋友这样在一起让我再次意识到，这是真的。 我们要和树屋，韦克菲尔德还有我们的怪物朋友们说再见，不知道再见多久。 这就意味着我们不可能不参加期末考试就离开这里… 超级怪兽再见庆祝披萨派对在乔家！

Toward the end of the party, I find myself getting choked up as I watch June and Biggun dancing to an old '80s song about good-byes. I walk outside. The tree house looms above me, more impressive than ever. The idea that this might be the last time I see my tree house, my home, under the moonlight, is too much. "Jack, am I interrupting your tears of joy?" Wiping at my eyes, I see Skaelka. "These aren't tears of joy, Skaelka. These are— nevermind, you wouldn't understand." "I have a favor to ask, Jack. A great favor." I sigh. "Yes, Skaelka. I already told you—if I don't return from this big quest, you can have my collection of wallets taken from zombies."

在派对快结束的时候，我发现自己看着June和Biggun伴着一首关于告别的80年代老歌跳舞，不禁哽咽起来。 我走到外面。树屋在我头顶若隐若现，比以往任何时候都更令人印象深刻。 一想到这可能是我最后一次在月光下看到我的树屋，我的家，我就受不了了。 “杰克，我打断你喜极而泣了吗？”擦着眼泪，我看到了斯卡卡。 “这不是喜极而泣，斯卡卡。 这些是——算了，你不会明白的。” “我想请你帮个忙，杰克。 帮我个大忙。”我叹了口气。“是的,Skaelka。 我已经告诉过你了——如果我不从这个大任务中回来，你可以从僵尸那里拿走我收集的钱包。”

"Oh, not that. I already took those. This favor is much bigger..." I've never seen Skaelka so serious. Oh man —does she need a kidney? Am I her go-to kidney person? Because I feel like she and June are probably more buddy-buddy than me. And June's got a way better diet. And— "Jack, do I have your attention? So that I may ask the favor?" "Geez, Skaelka. Yeah. Go ahead. You're scaring me." "What I saw out there, in the wilds—Thrull's power is growing... There are things that I must do—and I must do them quickly. So I ask you..."

“哦，不是那个。我已经拿过了。 这个人情更大……” 我从没见过斯卡卡这么认真。 天啊，她需要肾吗？ 我是她的肾脏专家吗？ 因为我觉得她和琼可能比我更亲密。 琼有更好的饮食习惯。 “杰克，你注意听我说了吗？” 好让我请你帮个忙？”“天哪,Skaelka。 是的。继续。你吓到我了。” “我在野外看到的是——斯拉尔的力量在增长…… 有些事我必须做，而且必须尽快完成。 所以我请求你……”
