Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8 "DID YOU HEAR THAT?" ASKED Wolfy. He had very good ears. He had ears like a wolf. But you didn't have to have ears like a wolf to have heard what Wolfy heard. The sounds were very loud. "I heard a KER-SPLOING!" said Franky. "I heard a CRACK!" said Vampyra. "And I heard a SNORGLE BELCH GLOBBLE MUCK!" said little Fern. "That might have been my stomach rumbling," said Boris. "All that work got me hungry for more cheese." "I don't know, Boris," said Wolfy. "I think it was something else. It sounded like it came from Stargazer's Point."

第八章“你听到了吗？”似狼的问道。 他的耳朵很灵敏。他的耳朵像狼一样。 但你不必像狼一样有耳朵，也能听到狼听到的声音。 声音非常大。 “我听到了一声巨响！”弗兰克说。 “我听到啪的一声！” “我还听到了一声呼噜声：‘全球渣滓’！”小弗恩说。 “那可能是我的肚子在咕咕叫。”鲍里斯说。 “所有这些工作都让我渴望更多的奶酪。” “我不知道，鲍里斯，”狼说。 “我觉得是别的原因。 听起来像是从观星者角传来的。”

But they didn't have to go too far to discover what had made those noises. The walking trash pile was headed right for them. It was made of everything the rats had collected and all of Baron Von Grump's belongings. All that junk had formed into one big, quivering, lumbering pile of trash. "It can't be!" said Wolfy. "It is!" said Franky. "But how?" "Our trash!" cried Boris. "Do you know how long it took us to collect all that?" "Look out!" Vampyra said. The trash pile snatched the bags of litter right out of the scouts' hands and dumped

但他们不用走太远就能发现是什么发出了这些声音。 行走的垃圾堆正朝他们冲过来。 它是用老鼠收集的所有东西和冯·格朗普男爵的所有东西做成的。 所有的垃圾都变成了一堆巨大的、颤抖的、笨重的垃圾。 “不可能！”狼说。 “是的！”弗兰克说。“可是什么?”“我们的垃圾！”鲍里斯喊道。 “你知道我们花了多长时间收集这些东西吗？”“当心!”Vampyra说。 垃圾堆从巡防队员手中抢走了一袋袋的垃圾，扔了出去

everything into its mouth. "SNORGLE BELCH GLOBBLE MUCK," said the trash heap. "HUNGRY! WANT MORE GARBAGE!" The giant pile of garbage slid slowly away from Stargazer's Point, headed for the one place it thought it might find more trash…. "The village!" Vampyra said. "We've got to warn them!" said Franky. Wolfy lifted his chin and let out a long, loud howl. Fern and the Little Junior Monster Scouts joined him. Speaking of the village… Everyone in the village had come out of their homes and their shops at the sound of Baron Von Grump's angry shout. Children stopped playing Snurgle Ball and stared at the windmill. Cows stopped giving milk. Chickens stopped laying eggs. Spiders

一切都放进它的嘴里。 “哼，嗝，环球垃圾。”垃圾堆说。 “饿了!还要垃圾！”这堆巨大的垃圾慢慢地从观星者点滑开，朝一个它认为可能会找到更多垃圾的地方飞去.... “村里!”Vampyra说。 “我们得警告他们！”弗兰基说。 狼抬起下巴，发出一声长长的嚎叫。 弗恩和小童子军也加入了他。 说到村子……听到冯·格朗普男爵愤怒的喊叫，村子里的每个人都从家里和商店里走了出来。 孩子们不再玩“依偎球”，盯着风车看。 奶牛不再产奶了。鸡不再下蛋了。 蜘蛛

stopped spinning their webs. Everyone and everything stopped. Sure, Baron Von Grump was cranky, and unfriendly, and occasionally came up with devious plans to chase the villagers away, or make them stop doing things. You know, things like smiling, talking, singing, chewing gum, or playing Snurgle Ball. But nobody had ever heard him shout anything like the shout he had just shouted. The mayor thought for a moment. He thought back to that morning, when Baron Von Grump had come to buy cheese. But it wasn't the visit, or the cheese, that he was thinking about. He was thinking about what Baron Von Grump had said. About the one word that had knocked the mayor's hat clean off his head. "Everyone, listen closely," said the mayor. "Everyone knows that Baron Von Grump is cranky at times—"

停止织网。 所有人和一切都停止了。 当然，冯·格朗普男爵脾气暴躁，不友好，偶尔会想出一些狡猾的计划来赶走村民，或者让他们停止做事。 比如微笑，说话，唱歌，嚼口香糖，或者玩鼻涕球。 但从来没有人听到过他像刚才那样大喊大叫。 市长想了一会儿。 他回想起那天早晨，冯·格朗普男爵来买奶酪。 但他想的不是这次拜访，也不是奶酪。 他在想冯·格朗普男爵说过的话。 关于那个把市长的帽子敲掉的词。 “大家听好了，”市长说。 “大家都知道冯·格朗普男爵有时脾气暴躁——”

"All the time," said one villager. "He doesn't even like when we chew gum." "And we know that he can be unfriendly," said the mayor. "He chased us away with rats!" said another villager. "He tried to cancel our birthday party," said a third villager. "His wild storm blew me right up into the air," said an old woman, knitting. "Rocking chair and all." "He hypnotized us and made us cluck like chickens and moo like cows," said a farmer, holding a chicken and petting his cow. "Yes, yes," said the mayor, "but he is our neighbor, and I think he might need our help. I've learned a thing or two from our friends, the Junior Monster Scouts, and—oh, look. Here they are now!" Wolfy, Franky, Vampyra, Fern, and the Little Junior Monster Scouts cubs raced into

“一直都是，”一位村民说。 “他甚至不喜欢我们嚼口香糖。” “我们知道他可能不友好，”市长说。 “他用老鼠把我们赶走了！”另一个村民说。 “他试图取消我们的生日聚会，”第三个村民说。 “他的狂风把我吹到了空中，”一个正在织毛线的老妇人说。 “摇椅什么的。”“他催眠了我们，让我们像鸡一样咯咯叫，像牛一样哞哞叫，”一位农民说，他抱着一只鸡，抚摸着他的牛。 “是的，是的，”市长说，“但他是我们的邻居，我想他可能需要我们的帮助。 我从我们的朋友那里学到了一些东西，少年怪兽童子军，还有，哦，看。 他们来了！”狼、弗兰基、吸血鬼、芬和小怪兽童子军的幼崽们冲了进来

the village, waving their arms and shouting. "Run!" they said. "Everybody, run!" Boris and the rats were right behind them. "It's a garbage monster!" the rats cried. "And it's—" "HUNGRY," said the pile of garbage, now even bigger than it was at Stargazer's Point. "SNORGLE BELCH GLOBBLE MUCK." The trash heap snatched up a fence, and a wagon, and a chimney, and swallowed them all in one gulp.

村里的人，挥舞着手臂，大喊大叫。 “快跑！”他们说。“每个人,快跑!”鲍里斯和老鼠就在他们后面。 “这是一个垃圾怪物！”老鼠叫道。 “它是——”“饿了。”那堆垃圾说，现在比占星人角的时候还要大。 “哼，嗝，球，屎。” 那堆垃圾抓住了一根篱笆、一辆马车和一个烟囱，把它们一口吞了下去。
