Chapter 3

CHAPTER 3 THE JUNIOR MONSTER SCOUTS RAN up and up and up and up and up and up the stairs. There were a lot of stairs. There were so many stairs that they had to stop halfway to catch their breath. "How many stairs are there!?" said Wolfy. "How tall is this tower?" See? It was a very tall tower with a lot of stairs. "I'm dizzy," said Franky.

第三章少年侦察兵们在楼梯上跑啊跑啊跑啊跑啊跑。 有很多楼梯。 楼梯太多了，他们不得不中途停下来喘口气。 “一共有多少层楼梯？”狼说。 “这座塔有多高？”看到了吗? 那是一座非常高的塔，有很多楼梯。 “我头晕，”弗兰基说。

And they were spiral stairs. That means that they went in a circle, up and up and up and... you get the idea. When they got to the top of the stairs, they found the door to Doctor Frankenstein's

它们是螺旋楼梯。 这意味着它们绕了一个圈，向上，向上，向上…… 你懂的。当他们到达楼梯顶端时，他们发现了弗兰肯斯坦博士的门

laboratory closed. There was a sign on the door. It read: AWAY ON MAD SCIENTIST BUSINESS. PLEASE RETURN TOMORROW. "Nobody is home," said Vampyra. Wolfy scratched his head. "But we heard —" "HELP!" "That is Igor Junior!" said Franky. "And he's inside!" Franky gripped the doorknob and pulled. The door did not budge. He grabbed it with both hands and pulled harder. It still did not budge. Wolfy wrapped his arms around Franky, and they both pulled. It budged a teeny bit. Vampyra wrapped her arms around Wolfy, and all three of them pulled. It budged a teeny bit more. "Igor Junior!" called Franky.

实验室关闭。门上有个牌子。 上面写着：去做疯狂科学家的事情。 请明天再来。“没人在家。”万皮拉说。 狼挠了挠头。“可是我们听到——”“救命！”“那是小伊戈尔！”弗兰克说。 “他在里面！”弗兰克抓住门把手拉了一下。 门没有动。他用双手抓住它，使劲拉。 它仍然一动不动。狼抱住弗兰基，两人一起拉。 它稍微动了一下。吸血鬼用双臂抱住狼，三个人一起拉。 它稍微移动了一点。 “小伊戈尔！”弗兰克叫道。

"Franky?" said Igor Junior from the other side of the door. "Push the door!" Franky said. He did. He pushed. They pulled. And then... the door popped right open, spilling them all into one tangled pile of monsters. "We heard your cry for help!" said Vampyra. "And we rushed here to help you!" said Franky. "Up a lot of steps," Wolfy grumbled. Igor Junior wrung his hands. "Thank you, Junior Monster Scouts, but I'm in so much

“弗兰克？”小伊戈尔在门的另一边说。 “把门推开！”佛朗基说。 他做到了。他把。他们把。 然后……门突然开了，他们全都变成了一堆乱糟糟的怪物。 “我们听到了你的呼救！” “我们冲过来帮你！”弗兰基说。 “上很多台阶，”狼抱怨道。 小伊戈尔扭着双手。 “谢谢你，少年怪兽童子军，但我太投入了

trouble! I don't know if you can help. I don't know what to do!" "What's wrong?" said Franky. "Yeah," said Vampyra. "What's the problem?" Igor Junior pointed back into the laboratory. "Look," he said. Doctor Frankenstein's laboratory was an absolute disaster. Imagine what your room would look like if you pulled out every toy you had and spread them all over the floor. Then you threw your clothes around your room. Then you pulled every sheet, pillow, blanket, and stuffed animal off your bed. Then you tossed everything up in the air and let it lie where it fell. That would be a disaster. But it would still not be as bad as what the laboratory looked like. Tables were turned over. Beakers and vials and jars lay on the floor. Gears ground and groaned. Strange coils hissed and spit

麻烦了!我不知道你能不能帮忙。 我不知道该怎么办！”“怎么了？”弗兰基说。 “是的。”万皮拉说。“有什么问题吗？”小伊戈尔指了指实验室。 “看，”他说。弗兰肯斯坦博士的实验室简直就是一场灾难。 想象一下，如果你把所有的玩具都拿出来，铺得满地都是，你的房间会是什么样子。 然后你把衣服扔得到处都是。 然后你把床单、枕头、毯子和毛绒玩具都从床上拿下来。 然后你把所有的东西抛向空中，让它们原地不动。 那将是一场灾难。但它仍然不会像实验室看起来那么糟糕。 桌子被翻过来了。烧杯、小瓶和坛子躺在地上。 齿轮嘎吱作响。奇怪的线圈嘶嘶作响

sparks. Smoke drifted through the room, and green flashes of light pulsed. A jagged bolt of lightning struck the opening in the ceiling, and crackling arcs of electricity raced down the chains dangling from above. It was a disaster. A dangerous disaster. "What happened?" said Franky. Igor Junior buried his face in his hands and moaned. "Pop and Grandpa told me," Igor Junior said. "They told me and told me and told me." "What did they tell you?" Vampyra said. "They said, 'Igor Junior, don't touch that lever.'" "Let me guess...," said Wolfy. "Yep," said Igor Junior. "I touched that lever."

火花。烟雾飘过房间，绿光闪烁。 一道参差不齐的闪电击中了天花板上的开口，噼啪作响的电弧从上面垂下来的铁链上冲了下来。 这是一场灾难。一场危险的灾难。 “发生什么事了？”弗兰基说。 小伊戈尔用双手捂住脸，呻吟着。 “爸爸和爷爷告诉我的，”小伊戈尔说。 “他们告诉我，告诉我，告诉我。” “他们跟你说了什么？”Vampyra说。 “他们说，‘小伊戈尔，别碰那个杠杆。’”“让我猜猜……狼说。 “是的，”小伊戈尔说。“我碰了那个杠杆。”
