Chapter 9

CHAPTER 9 GEORGE'S IDEA WAS A VERY good idea. He and the Junior Monster Scouts had figured out that the mirror had something to do with everyone being hypnotized. They also knew that only Franky and Vampyra could see their reflections in the mirror, which meant… "If I can't see myself in the mirror, and nobody else can see me, then I'll bet I won't get hypnotized!" said George. "You're right!" Franky said. "Brilliant!" said Vampyra. "Don't worry, Wolfy. Don't worry, cubs. We're going to unhypno-size you!" But Wolfy and the cubs did not respond.

乔治的主意很好。 他和少年怪兽童子军发现，镜子和每个人被催眠都有关系。 他们还知道，只有弗兰克和吸血鬼能看到镜子里的自己，这意味着……“如果我在镜子里看不到自己，别人也看不到我，那我打赌我不会被催眠！”乔治说。 “你是对的!”佛朗基说。 “太棒了！” “别担心，狼。别担心，孩子们。 我们要解除你的催眠！”但是狼和小熊们没有回应。

George did not bother to try to correct her this time. "I thought vampires couldn't see their reflections in the mirror," he said. Vampyra shrugged. "That's just another made-up story. Okay, what now?" "Follow me," said George. "George?" said Vampyra. "Yes?" "We can't." "Oh, right," he said. "Invisible. You go inside first." Vampyra went first. Then Franky. He told Sprocket to wait outside. "Bark twice if anyone comes, okay?" Sprocket wagged her tail and sat by the door. She was a very good watchdog. George followed them inside the Fun House of Fun and shut the door. "Now what?" asked Vampyra. She was very careful to keep her eyes off the mirror.

乔治这次没有费心去纠正她。 “我以为吸血鬼看不见镜子里的自己，”他说。 Vampyra耸耸肩。“那只是另一个编造的故事。 好吧，现在怎么办？”“跟我来。”乔治说。 “乔治？”“是吗?”“我们不能。” “哦，对了，”他说。“看不见的。 你先进去。”吸血鬼先走了。 然后佛朗基。他让链轮在外面等着。 “有人来就叫两声，好吗？”链轮摇着尾巴坐在门边。 她是一只很好的看门狗。 乔治跟着他们进了欢乐屋，关上了门。 “现在怎么办？” 她小心翼翼地不让自己的眼睛盯着镜子。

"We need something to cover the mirror with," said George. Franky had an idea. He reached outside and snatched Baron Von Grump's cape from the hook on the wagon. "We can use this," he said. He was also very careful to keep his eyes off the mirror. "Good thinking!" said George.

“我们需要用什么东西盖住镜子。”乔治说。 弗兰克有了一个主意。他伸手到外面，从马车的钩子上抓起冯·格朗普男爵的斗篷。 “我们可以利用这个，”他说。 他还非常小心地不让自己的眼睛盯着镜子。 “好主意！”乔治说。

"Okay, George," said Vampyra. "Cover that mirror!" George stood in front of the mirror. He looked right into it. All he saw was a cape, floating in the air. George stepped closer and covered the mirror with the cape. Outside, Baron Von Grump sat atop a mound of hay, in the back of a wagon, in the center of the village, in complete and utter silence. He closed his eyes. He took a deep breath. It… was… perfect. "Caw?" Edgar asked. Baron Von Grump glowered at Edgar. "I don't know where those other monsters are, and I don't care," he said. "Can't you see I finally have my moment of silence?" "Caw," said Edgar. He pointed back to the Fun House of Fun.

“好吧，乔治。” “把镜子盖上！”乔治站在镜子前。 他直视着它。他只看到一件斗篷，飘在空中。 乔治走近一些，用斗篷遮住了镜子。 外面，冯·格朗普男爵坐在村子中央一辆马车后面的一堆干草上，一片寂静。 他闭上了眼睛。他深吸了一口气。 太完美了。“乌鸦叫?”埃德加问道。 冯·格伦男爵怒视着埃德加。 “我不知道其他怪物在哪里，我也不在乎，”他说。 “你没看到我终于有了默哀的时刻吗？”“法律，”埃德加说。 他指了指欢乐之屋。

"Yes, yes, they may be in the Fun House of Fun. But who cares? They'll be hypnotized just like everyone else!" Edgar shrugged. "Now, silence!" said Baron Von Grump. He closed his eyes. He took a deep breath. He listened to… nothing.

“是的，是的，他们可能在欢乐之屋。 但谁在乎呢？他们会像其他人一样被催眠的！”埃德加耸耸肩。 “现在，安静！”冯·格朗普男爵说。 他闭上了眼睛。他深吸了一口气。 他什么也没听。

Silence Shhhhh……. Quiet zone No talking This means you! Don't read this aloud. Too late… You're already doing it? Well, stop. What do you mean you can't stop? Do you have to read the words on the page? What do you mean, "That's what the words on the page are for"? Fine, be that way.

沉默嘘……安静区不许说话这是指你！不要大声读。 太迟了…你已经在做了？ 好了,停止。什么叫停不下来？ 你一定要读这一页上的字吗？ 你说“这就是这页上的字是干什么用的”是什么意思？ 好吧，就这样吧。
