Chapter 6

CHAPTER 6 THE RIVER WAS NOT THE only place the sun was shining. It was shining over the village, but the villagers could not enjoy it because the winds from the old windmill were so strong that anything not nailed down was whisked up, up, and away. It's true! An apple cart, a wagon filled with hay, even an old lady knitting in her rocking chair all flew up, up, and away. (Don't worry—the old lady knitting was saved at the last minute. One quick-thinking villager caught the end of her yarn and pulled her back to safety.)

第六章阳光照耀的地方不只是小河。 阳光照耀着整个村庄，但村民们无法欣赏它，因为从老风车吹来的风太猛烈了，任何没有钉牢的东西都被吹起来，吹起来，吹走了。 这是真的!一辆苹果车，一辆装满干草的马车，甚至一位坐在摇椅上织毛衣的老太太，都飞起来了，飞起来了，飞走了。 (别担心——老太太织毛衣是在最后一刻才被救活的。 一个思维敏捷的村民抓住了她的纱线末端，把她拉回了安全的地方。)

The villagers had to bring all their cows, horses, goats, chickens, sheep, and pigs into their houses so that the animals did not blow away. And don't forget the ducks! The ducks had to squeeze in as well. And the village cats, and the village dogs. It was very crowded. It was also very loud. It sounded something like this: "I QUACK sure MOO hope BAAA the WOOF wind MEOW stops OINK soon NEIGHHH COCK-A-DOODLE-DOO!"

村民们不得不把他们所有的牛、马、山羊、鸡、绵羊和猪都带到家里，这样动物就不会被风吹走。 别忘了鸭子！鸭子也得挤进去。 还有村里的猫和狗。 那里非常拥挤。它也很吵。 它听起来是这样的：“我肯定呱呱，哞，希望咩，呜风的喵喵声很快就会停止，哼哼！”

But do you know where it was not crowded? And not windy? And not rainy? Where the sun was also shining? That's right —in the creaky, crooked old windmill where Baron Von Grump lived. Perhaps, dear reader, you are saying, "Here we go again.… Baron Von Grump has set his plan in motion. He's such a grump! And the village needs to be saved again. When will the villagers ever learn? And the Junior Monster Scouts will need to save the day." And you would be right! Of course the Junior Monster Scouts will have to save the villagers, but how? Isn't it exciting? Here we go again! Now back to our story… Baron Von Grump stood at the wide-open window and looked out over the village. He drew a deep breath, first with his right nostril, and then with his left, and then, finally, with both of his nostrils.

但是你知道哪里不拥挤吗？ 没有风吗？不下雨吗？ 太阳也在哪里闪耀？ 就在冯·格朗普男爵住过的那个歪歪扭扭的老风车里。 亲爱的读者，也许你会说：“我们又来了。冯·格朗普男爵已经开始实施他的计划了 他真是个坏脾气！村庄需要再次被拯救。 村民们什么时候才能明白？ 少年怪兽童子军需要拯救这一天。” 你是对的！当然，少年怪兽童子军必须拯救村民，但怎么做呢？ 是不是很刺激？又来了！现在回到我们的故事……冯·格朗普男爵站在敞开的窗前，眺望着村庄。 他深深地吸了一口气，先是用右鼻孔，然后用左鼻孔，最后用两个鼻孔。

"What a glorious spring day," he said. He scrunched his eyebrows together and glared at the village. "At last." Edgar flew in a crooked line right to the corner of the room and collapsed. He was still very, very dizzy. "Perhaps some music will make you feel better, eh?" said Baron Von Grump. "Cawwww?" Edgar said. "Yes, something zesty," said Baron Von Grump. "Caw…" "And lively." "Caw!" "Yes, yes! Something you can dance to!" Baron Von Grump marched straight to the cabinet where he kept his sheet music. "I've got just the thing," he said. He riffled through his music and held up one page filled with musical notes. "This? No!" He held up another. "How about—no!" He

“多么美好的春日啊，”他说。 他皱起眉头，怒视着村子。 “最后”。埃德加歪歪扭扭地飞到房间的一角，瘫倒在地。 他仍然非常、非常头晕。 “也许听点音乐会让你感觉好些，嗯？”冯·格朗普男爵说。 “Cawwww ?”埃德加说。“是的，一些热情的东西。”冯·格朗普男爵说。 “呱呱……”“活泼。”“乌鸦叫!”“是的,是的!你可以跟着跳舞！”冯·格朗普男爵径直走向他放乐谱的柜子。 “我正好有东西，”他说。 他把乐谱翻了一遍，举起一张写满音符的纸。 “这?不!”他举起另一个。 “没有!”他

scanned a third. "Too slow." He pushed his face against a fourth. "Rubbish!" He looked at a fifth and a sixth and a seventh and said, "Too soft… too loud… too weird." Then Baron Von Grump's eyes settled on something. Something that was sitting right there, in front of his face, the whole time. There, atop the cabinet where he kept his sheet music, sat a small, framed picture of a small boy holding a very small violin. That small boy had very big, bushy, black eyebrows. It was none other than little Baron

扫视了第三个。“太慢了”。 他把脸贴在第四个人身上。 “垃圾!”他看了看第五、第六和第七，说：“太软了……太响了……太奇怪了。” 这时，冯·格朗普男爵的目光落在了什么东西上。 就在那里，一直在他面前的东西。 在他放乐谱的柜子顶上，放着一幅镶框的小照片，上面是一个小男孩拿着一把很小的小提琴。 那个小男孩的眉毛又大又密又黑。 这不是别人，正是小巴伦
