Chapter 4

Chapter four, When I went to bed that night, I closed my eyes like I usually do. But instead of dreaming about me hitting a home run for the Mets, my brain went to Zombieland. I'm going to leave out a lot of the scariest parts of my nightmare because I don't want you to close this book and run away screaming. But here are some highlights. In my dream, I was about five years old. I was at the beach, building a sand castle when a bunch of zombies came out of the ocean. They had jellyfish for noses, and instead of arms, they had giant octopus tentacles. With stingers on the end of each one! I screamed and ran down the beach. The zombies chased me. As

第四章，那天晚上上床睡觉的时候，我像往常一样闭上了眼睛。 但我没有梦到我为大都会队打了一个本垒打，我的大脑进入了僵尸乐园。 我要省略很多我噩梦中最可怕的部分，因为我不想让你合上这本书，尖叫着跑掉。 但这里有一些亮点。 在我的梦里，我大约五岁。 我在沙滩上搭沙堡的时候一群僵尸从海里出来了。 它们的鼻子是水母，而不是手臂，它们有巨大的章鱼触手。 每条鱼的末端都有毒刺！我尖叫着跑下海滩。 僵尸在追我。作为

they got closer, I could almost feel their tentacles stinging me. One of them actually wrapped itself around my arm and started to squeeze. I used every bit of my strength to break free. I ran for the lifeguard shack, but the faster I ran, the farther away it got. Then I fell facedown in the sand. The sand got up my nose and I couldn't breathe. I felt a cold slimy tentacle wrap around my ankle, and start pulling me—closer... closer... closer... And then I woke up. I was screaming, "Let me go! Let me go!" That woke up Frankie. He had been asleep in his Spider-Man sleeping bag next to my bed. "Zip, what are you doing?" he said with a yawn. "Running from a zombie attack." "That's nice," he said, still half asleep. "Did they eat your brains?" "I don't think so. I'm still here." I reached up to my head to check if there

它们离我越来越近，我几乎能感觉到它们的触手在刺我。 其中一只甚至抱住了我的手臂，开始挤我。 我用尽了我所有的力量去挣脱。 我跑向救生员小屋，但我跑得越快，离它越远。 然后我脸朝下倒在沙滩上。 沙子进了我的鼻子，我无法呼吸。 我感到一条冰冷黏糊糊的触手缠绕在我的脚踝上，开始把我拉得更近…… 接近……接近……然后我就醒了。 我尖叫着：“放开我！放开我！”这唤醒了弗兰基。 他一直睡在我床边的蜘蛛侠睡袋里。 “次波，你在干什么？”他打了个哈欠说。 “逃离僵尸的袭击。” “太好了，”他说，仍然半睡半醒。 “他们吃了你的脑子吗？”“我不这么认为。 我还在这里。”我抬起头来看看有没有

were any zombie bite marks. There weren't. I leaned down to show Frankie, but he had already fallen back asleep. I rolled back in bed and closed my eyes. As soon as I did, there they were again! Zombies... hundreds of them—pounding on the hot sand with their tentacles. The terrible drumming sound got louder and louder in my ears. My eyes flew open. It was late, and I was so tired. But there was no way I could fall asleep. Not with all those zombies in my room. It was going to be a

有没有僵尸咬痕。 没有。我弯下腰给弗兰基看，但他已经又睡着了。 我在床上翻了个身，闭上眼睛。 我刚一开口，他们又出现了！僵尸…… 数以百计的海豚用它们的触须拍打着滚烫的沙滩。 可怕的鼓声在我耳边越来越响。 我的眼睛一下子睁开了。很晚了，我太累了。 但我怎么也睡不着。 我房间里有那么多僵尸。 它应该是a

long, hard night.

漫长而艰难的夜晚。
