Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2 FRANKY AND SPROCKET HAD ONLY just started down the path when Franky's mom, Esmeralda, called out to him. "Don't forget that we're having a special scout campfire tonight!" she said. "Oh boy!" said Franky. "Will there be s'mores?" "S'mores and more!" she said. "But I need you to pick up some chocolate from the village. Those villagers make the best chocolate!" It's true, you know. Imagine the best piece of chocolate you've ever had. Do you remember how sweet it was? How rich? How

第二章弗兰克和链轮刚踏上这条路，弗兰克的妈妈埃斯梅拉达就大声叫他。 “别忘了我们今晚有一个特别的童子军营火！”她说。 “哦，天哪！”弗兰克说。“会有s'mores吗？”“多吃点！”她说。 “但我需要你去村里买些巧克力。 那些村民做的巧克力是最好的！”你知道，这是真的。 想象一下你吃过的最好的一块巧克力。 你还记得那有多甜蜜吗？ 多么富有吗?如何

absolutely delicious in all of its chocolaty goodness? Now multiply that by a thousand. That's how good the village chocolate was. Esmeralda gave Franky some money for chocolate and off he went, leash in hand and a smile on his face. "Wait up, Franky!" said Vampyra. She flittered down from her bedroom window in bat form. "Vampyra!" called Aunt Belladonna. "Don't forget to pick up the graham crackers for s'mores tonight!" Vampyra wrapped her bat wings around herself and spun in a circle. One… two… three… POOF! She turned into herself— shiny, brushed fangs and all.

绝对美味的巧克力？ 现在把它乘以1000。 村子里的巧克力就是这么好吃。 埃斯梅拉达给了弗兰克一些钱买巧克力，他手里拿着皮带，面带微笑地走了。 “等等，弗兰克！” 她像蝙蝠一样从卧室的窗户飞了下来。 “吸血鬼！”贝拉多娜姨妈叫道。 “别忘了为今晚的s'mores买些全麦饼干！”吸血鬼把她的蝙蝠翅膀裹在自己身上，转了一个圈。 一…二…三…噗！她变成了她自己——闪亮的、刷过的尖牙。

"Hi, Vampyra!" Franky said. "Woof!" said Sprocket. She wagged her tail very fast. She was excited to see Vampyra. "We're going for a walk," said Franky. "Want to come? I have to get chocolate for s'mores." "I'm getting graham crackers," said Vampyra.

“嗨,Vampyra !”佛朗基说。 “汪！”链轮说。她很快地摇着尾巴。 她很兴奋能见到吸血鬼。 “我们要去散步，”弗兰基说。 “想来吗？”我得去买巧克力做巧克力夹心饼干。” “我去买全麦饼干。”万皮拉说。

They had just reached the covered bridge when they met Wolfy. But he was not alone. He had all of his little cub brothers and sisters with him. They chased one another around his feet and nipped at his tail and howled at the sky. "Hey, Wolfy, do you and your brothers and sisters want to come with us?" asked Vampyra. "We have to get chocolate and graham crackers for the s'mores tonight," said Franky. "Me too," said Wolfy. "Mom sent us to get marshmallows… and exercise." The cubs ran in circles. They leaped fallen logs. They climbed atop rocks. They had a lot of energy. "Woof!" said Sprocket. She wanted the cubs to pet her. And, of course, they did. Who would not want to pet a puppy? A fuzzy, cute, tail-wagging puppy?

他们刚走到有顶棚的桥上，就遇到了狼。 但他并不孤单。他带着他所有的弟弟妹妹。 它们围着他的脚互相追逐，咬他的尾巴，对着天空嚎叫。 “嘿，狼，你和你的兄弟姐妹想和我们一起去吗？” “我们得为今晚的s'mores准备巧克力和全麦饼干，”弗兰克说。 “我也是，”狼说。“妈妈让我们去买棉花糖……锻炼身体。” 小熊们绕着圈子跑。他们跳过倒下的原木。 他们爬上岩石。他们精力充沛。 “汪！”链轮说。她想让幼崽们抚摸她。 当然，他们做到了。谁不想养一只小狗呢？ 毛茸茸的，可爱的，摇尾巴的小狗？

Well… there is one person who would not want to pet a puppy. There is one person who would look at your fuzzy, cute, tail-wagging puppy and say, Bah! Leave me alone. And right now, he was in his crooked windmill, opening his special delivery.… "Behold!" said Baron Von Grump as he pried open the lid of the large wooden crate. "The very thing I've been waiting for!" "Caw?" asked Edgar. "Yes, Edgar, it is a mirror. But not just any mirror. This, my feathered friend, is the amazing, wondrous, spectacular, super- duper HypnoMirror! Just by gazing into this mirror, you will be hypnotized and under my control!" Edgar covered his eyes with his wings and looked away.

嗯，有一个人是不会想要宠物小狗的。 有一个人会看着你毛茸茸的，可爱的，摇尾巴的小狗说，呸！别烦我。 此刻，他正坐在他那辆歪歪斜斜的风车里，打开他的特快专递。“看！”冯·格朗普男爵撬开大木箱的盖子说。 “这正是我一直在等待的东西！”“法律？”艾加问。 “是的，埃德加，这是一面镜子。 但不是普通的镜子。这个，我的有羽毛的朋友，是惊人的，奇妙的，壮观的，超级超级的幻镜！只要凝视这面镜子，你就会被催眠，受我的控制！”埃德加用翅膀遮住眼睛，望向别处。

"Don't worry," said Baron Von Grump. "It's not on… yet." And then he smiled that poisonous-snake smile, just like before.

“别担心，”冯·格朗普男爵说。 “还没开……还没开呢。”然后他笑了，像毒蛇一样，就像以前一样。
