06 The Case of the Dog-Bone Bandit

The Case of the Dog-Bone Bandit The next morning, Judy was already hard at work on the case by the time Stink woke up. She sprawled on the floor with a rainbow of markers all around her. "What're you doing to Officer Kopp's flyers?" Stink asked. "Fixing them," said Judy, coloring in blue eyes on the picture of Mr. Chips. Stink tilted his head, reading upside down. He was trying to figure out the words Judy had just added. "'Have you seen this goo?'" "'Have you seen this dog.'"

第二天早上，当臭臭醒来的时候，朱迪已经在努力调查这个案子了。 她四肢伸开躺在地板上，周围是彩虹般的马克笔。 “你对科普警官的传单做了什么？”臭问道。 “修理它们，”朱迪说，在奇普斯先生的照片上涂上了蓝色的眼睛。 臭臭歪着头，倒着看书。 他在努力理解朱迪刚刚加进去的单词。 “‘你见过这个好东西吗？你见过这只狗吗？

"Oh. Your D looks like an O." "Stink, a good detective can read backward and upside down." Judy colored in a black letter R. "'Drawer'?" Stink asked, squinching up his face. "'Reward'!" said Judy. "We have to offer big bucks so that anyone who has seen Mr. Chips or has any information on his whereabouts will call the police. Rule Number One of being a good detective is don't be afraid to ask for help."

“哦。你的D看起来像个o。” “臭臭，一个好侦探可以倒着读，也可以倒过来读。” 朱迪用黑色的字母R涂上颜色。 “抽屉里?”臭臭皱着脸问道。 “‘奖励’！”朱迪说。“我们必须出重金，这样任何见过奇普斯先生或知道他下落的人都会报警。 成为一名好侦探的第一原则就是不要害怕寻求帮助。”

"You mean Rule Number One Gazillion!" said

“你是说第一条规则吗？

Stink. "So, whoever finds Mr. Chips gets a reward, not a drawer?" "Yep." "So if I find him," Stink asked, "I get the money?" Judy ignored him. She wrote in $23.80. "Whoa," said Stink. "Twenty-three dollars and eighty cents. That's a lot of money. How'd you come up with $23.80?" "That's all you had in your piggy bank, Stink." "You broke my bank?" Stink ran into his room and grabbed his piggy bank. "That's weird. My bank's not broken.... And the lock is still on," said Stink. He put the piggy bank up to his ear and shook it. Empty. "The Mystery of the Missing Money," said

臭。“那么，找到奇普斯先生的人会得到奖励，而不是一个抽屉？”“是的。” “所以如果我找到他，”臭臭问，“我就能拿到钱？”朱迪不理他。 她写于1980年。“哇，”臭臭说。 “23美元80美分。 那是一大笔钱。你是怎么想出3.8美元的？”“臭小子，你的储蓄罐里就只有这么多钱。” “你毁了我的银行？”臭臭跑进他的房间，抓起他的扑满。 “这是奇怪的。我的银行没有破产.... 锁还开着，”臭臭说。 他把储蓄罐放在耳边，摇了摇。 空的。“钱失踪之谜，”他说

Judy. "You picked the lock! With one of those Nancy Drew bobby pin thingies." "You can't prove it, Stink." "No fair! You can't just keep taking my stuff. First it was my president dollars, then my dinobug pins. Now this. That's called stealing. It makes you just as bad as Snarky, Snuffy, and Stingy— those Nancy Drew bad guys." "For your information, it's Snorky, Sniggs, and Stumpy." "Whatever. It's still my money." "Well, you stole a whole bag of my gummy mice. Just think, Stink. If you find Mr. Chips, you can win back your money." "But that money's already mine! I shouldn't have to win it back."

朱迪。“你撬开了锁！”拿着那种南希·德鲁的发夹什么的。” “你无法证明，臭臭。” “不公平!你不能就这么拿走我的东西。 先是我的总统币，然后是我的恐龙别针。 现在这个。这叫偷窃。 它会让你变得和刻薄、鼻涕虫和小气鬼一样坏——那些《神探南茜》里的坏人。” “告诉你，是史诺奇、史尼格和史丹皮。” “不管。这仍然是我的钱。” “你偷了我一整袋的软糖。 想想吧，臭臭。如果你找到Mr. Chips，你就能赢回你的钱。” “可那笔钱已经是我的了！”我不应该把它赢回来。”

"It's for a good cause," Judy reminded him. "If you ask me, that lock was just asking to be picked." "Give it!" said Stink, holding out his hand. "ROAR," said Judy, handing over the money. Now she had to think of something else to offer as a reward. Something good. Something anybody would want a whole big bunch. She looked around her room at her collections. At last she had an idea.

“这是一个很好的理由，”朱迪提醒他。 “如果你问我，我觉得那把锁只是在要求被撬。” “给我！”臭臭伸出手说。 “吼，”朱迪说着把钱递了过来。 现在她得想点别的东西作为奖励了。 好东西。任何人都想要一大堆的东西。 她环视了一下房间里的收藏品。 最后她有了一个主意。
