Chapter 5

CHAPTER 5 FRANKY, WOLFY, VAMPYRA, AND IGOR Junior stood at the open doorway to Doctor Frankenstein's laboratory. Thunder boomed, lightning crackled, and the whole room was a hissing, spitting, sparking, grinding, flashing mess! "So all we have to do is pull that lever back to where it was in the first place?" said Franky. "Yes," said Igor Junior. "That lever all the way on the other side of the room?" said Wolfy. "Yes," groaned Igor Junior. "Then why didn't you just do that in the first place?" Vampyra said.

第五章弗兰克、狼、吸血鬼和小伊戈尔站在弗兰肯斯坦博士实验室敞开的门口。 雷声轰鸣，闪电噼啪作响，整个房间是一片嘶嘶声、吐痰声、火花声、磨擦声、闪光声！“所以我们所要做的就是把杠杆拉回原来的位置？”弗兰基说。 “是的，”小伊戈尔说。“房间另一边的那个杠杆？”狼说。 “是的。”小伊戈尔呻吟道。 “那你为什么不从一开始就这么做呢？”Vampyra说。

"Because I was scared," said Igor Junior. "I don't blame you," Wolfy mumbled. Franky pulled out his copy of the Junior Monster Scout handbook and opened to the Scout Laws. "'It may be scary,'" read Franky, "'but a Junior Monster Scout is brave.'" "'And that means doing what is right,'" said Vampyra, reading over his shoulder. "'Even if they are afraid,'" finished Wolfy. "'Especially if they are afraid,'" Franky said. "'That's what being brave is.'" "You'll help me?" said Igor Junior. "Of course!" said Vampyra. Igor Junior puffed out his chest. "Then let's go!" he said. He reached back and took Franky's hand. Franky took Vampyra's hand. Vampyra took Wolfy's hand, and Wolfy... Well, I suppose he would have held your hand if you were there with the Junior Monster Scouts, but

“因为我很害怕，”小伊戈尔说。 “我不怪你，”狼嘟囔着。 弗兰基拿出他那本《少年怪物童子军手册》，开始读童子军章程。 “‘这可能很可怕，’”弗兰基念道，“但少年怪兽童子军是勇敢的。“”“”,这意味着做什么是正确的,”Vampyra说,阅读在肩膀上。 “即使他们害怕，”狼说。 “尤其是当他们害怕的时候，”弗兰基说。 “这就是勇敢。“你会帮我吗？”小伊戈尔说。 “当然！” 小伊戈尔挺起胸膛。 “那我们走吧！”他说。他伸出手，握住弗兰克的手。 弗兰克握住吸血鬼的手。 吸血鬼拉着狼的手，狼…… 我想如果你和少年怪兽童子军在一起他会握着你的手，但是

you were not. So Wolfy did not hold anyone's hand but Vampyra's. Slowly but surely they crept through the laboratory. Past the hissing steam pipe. Over the sparking wire. Under the grinding gears. Around the spitting cauldron. And right up to the flashing machine with the big red lever.

你没有。所以狼没有握住任何人的手，而是握着吸血鬼的手。 他们缓慢而坚定地穿过实验室。 经过嘶嘶作响的蒸汽管。 越过火线。在磨削齿轮下。 在吐痰的大锅周围。 一直到那个带红色大杠杆的闪光机。

"Well, this is the one," said Igor Junior. "That wasn't so bad," said Wolfy. Thunder boomed overhead, and an arc of lightning lit up the sky. All four of them jumped. It was loud, and it was scary. But the

“嗯，就是这个，”小伊戈尔说。 “还不错，”狼说。 头顶上雷声隆隆，一道闪电照亮了天空。 他们四个人都跳了起来。声音很大，很吓人。 但是,

Junior Monster Scouts and Igor Junior were being brave. Remember? That means doing something even when you are afraid. They were certainly afraid, but they were going to help Igor Junior, and this time Igor Junior wasn't going to pull that lever.... He was going to push it, right back to where it belonged. "Go ahead," Vampyra said. "You can do it," said Wolfy. Igor Junior wiggled his fingers. He squared his shoulders. He took a deep breath. He reached out for the lever— "Wait!" said Franky. He held up the Junior Monster Scout handbook and said...

少年怪兽童子军和小伊戈尔都很勇敢。 还记得吗?这意味着即使你害怕也要去做一些事情。 他们当然很害怕，但他们要去帮助小伊戈尔，而这次小伊戈尔不打算拉那个杠杆.... 他要把它推到它该去的地方。 “说吧。”Vampyra说。“你能做到的，”狼说。 小伊戈尔扭动着手指。 他挺起胸膛。他深吸了一口气。 他伸手去抓杠杆——“等等！”弗兰基说。 他举起少年怪兽童子军手册说……
