Chapter 9

CHAPTER 9 VAMPYRA AND ANNABELLE FLAPPED AND fluttered and flew through the wind. It tossed them And just when Vampyra thought that maybe she couldn't reach that old windmill, she heard a loud howl. "Wolfy!" she said. "I'll bet Wolfy and Franky are cheering us on!" "Quack!" said Annabelle. "That's right," said Vampyra. "We're almost there."

第九章吸血鬼和安娜贝尔拍打着翅膀，在风中飞翔。 就在吸血鬼以为她够不到那座老风车的时候，她听到了一声巨大的嚎叫。 “狼！”她说。“我敢打赌，狼和弗兰克一定在为我们加油！”“呱！”安娜贝利说。 “没错。”万皮拉说。 “我们就快到了。”

Vampyra and Annabelle flew over the covered bridge. They flew over the village. They flew across the fields and straight for the old windmill. The blades were going faster and faster, and the windmill was rocking back and forth. The closer Vampyra and Annabelle flew, the stronger the wind. The stronger the wind, the harder it was to fly. "Just… a… little… closer," said Vampyra. She flapped her wings as fast as she could. It was almost as if she was flying in place. But sometimes things are not that easy. Sometimes if you really want to do something, you have to work a little harder than normal. And that is exactly what Vampyra and Annabelle did.

吸血鬼和安娜贝尔飞过有顶棚的桥。 他们飞过村庄。 他们飞过田野，直奔老风车而去。 叶片转得越来越快，风车前后摇晃。 吸血鬼和安娜贝尔飞得越近，风就越强。 风越大，飞起来就越困难。 “再……再……再……靠近一点。” 她尽可能快地拍打着翅膀。 就好像她在原地飞行。 但有时事情并不那么容易。 有时候，如果你真的想做某件事，你就得比平时更努力一点。 吸血鬼和安娜贝尔就是这么做的。

Meanwhile, inside the old windmill, Baron Von Grump held on for dear life. First the music sheets blew out the window. Then it was his plates and spoons. Then his sock collection. Then his shoes. Then the socks on his feet. Everything was blowing out the window. Even Edgar was blown right out the window! "Cawwwwwwwwwwww!!!!" "Make. It. STOP!" cried Baron Von Grump.

与此同时，在老风车里，冯·格朗普男爵拼命地抓着不放。 首先乐谱吹出了窗户。 然后是他的盘子和勺子。 然后是他的袜子收藏。然后是他的鞋子。 然后是他脚上的袜子。 所有的东西都被吹出窗外。 连埃德加都被吹出窗外了！“Cawwwwwwwwwwww ! !””。 它。住手！”冯·格伦普男爵喊道。

Edgar snatched the rope in his beak. You remember the rope, right? The rope that was connected to the crank? The crank that was connected to the paddles of the windmill? Well, Edgar grabbed right ahold of that rope and spun around and around and around and around with the windmill. Poor Edgar. "Look, Annabelle!" said Vampyra. "That's how we'll stop the windmill." "Quack!" said Annabelle. Vampyra and Annabelle flapped as hard as they could. They flew as fast as they could. They gritted their teeth and squinted their eyes and pushed. If they could just reach that rope! Just… …a little… …bit…

埃德加用嘴咬住绳子。 你还记得那根绳子吧？ 连接曲柄的绳子？ 连接风车桨的曲柄？ 埃德加紧紧抓住绳子，用风车转啊转啊转。 可怜的埃德加。“看，安娜贝利！” “这样我们就能阻止风车了。” “呱！”安娜贝利说。吸血鬼和安娜贝拉拼命拍打着翅膀。 他们尽可能快地飞。 他们咬紧牙关，眯着眼睛推着。 要是他们能够到那根绳子就好了！只是... ...一点点... ...一点点……

THERE! The rope spun around and around and around with Edgar dangling from the end. Vampyra grabbed the rope with her pointy little bat teeth. Then Annabelle grabbed the rope with her little orange duck beak. Together, Vampyra, Annabelle, and Edgar pulled. And PULLED. And PULLED so hard that the windmill began to slow down. Slower. Slower. Slowwwerrrrr. Until finally, it stopped. "Caw," said Edgar.

在那里!绳子一圈又一圈地旋转着，埃德加吊在绳子的一端。 吸血鬼用她那尖尖的蝙蝠牙抓住了绳子。 然后安娜贝尔用她橙色的小鸭嘴抓住了绳子。 Vampyra， Annabelle和Edgar一起拉。 和拉。使劲拉，风车开始慢下来。 慢。慢。Slowwwerrrrr。 直到最后，它停止了。 “法律，”埃德加说。
