Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Officer Stanley shoveled the last of the mud-caked Sandman into an extra- extra-extra-large Ziploc bag. "I mean, who needs the attendance monitor to show up on time?" the Sandman asked her. "Isn't it the kids who can't be late? I don't think I should have been fired for that." Officer Ditko sealed the plastic bag shut, but the Sandman's sweater got caught in the zipper. The pullover went poof, leaving Officer Ditko covered in sand.

第11章斯坦利警官把最后一个沾满泥巴的睡魔铲进了一个超大超大的密封塑料袋里。 “我的意思是，谁需要考勤员准时出现呢？”睡魔问她。 “难道孩子们不能迟到吗？” 我认为我不应该因此而被解雇。” 迪特科警官把塑料袋封上了，但睡魔的毛衣被拉链卡住了。 套头衫突然消失了，迪特科警官全身都是沙子。

"Everywhere," the policeman sighed. "Thanks for the help, Spider-Man and Squirrel Girl," Officer Stanley said. She loaded the bagged-and-tagged Sandman into the police van. "No thanks necessary," Spidey replied. "We don't do it for the applause. No need for a sand-ing ovation." Just then the children from the playground came running toward Spider-Man and Squirrel Girl. They were cheering. They were clapping. They were shouting for joy. "Well, maybe just this once," Spidey said. He held out his arms. Squirrel Girl prepared for high fives. The children ran up to them-and zoomed right past them to the ice cream truck that had finally arrived.

“到处都是。”警察叹了口气。 “谢谢你们的帮助，蜘蛛侠和松鼠女孩，”斯坦利警官说。 她把装好标签的睡魔装进了警车。 “不用谢了，”蜘蛛侠回答。 “我们不是为了掌声而做这件事。 不需要热烈的鼓掌。” 就在这时，操场上的孩子们向蜘蛛侠和松鼠女孩跑来。 他们在欢呼。他们在鼓掌。 他们欢呼雀跃。 “好吧，也许就这一次，”蜘蛛侠说。 他伸出双臂。松鼠女孩准备击掌。 孩子们跑向他们，从他们身边疾驰而过，直奔终于到达的冰淇淋车。

"At least they have their priorities straight," Squirrel Girl said. "To thank you for your help in protecting my park, may I buy you a cone, Spider-Man? What kind of ice cream do you like? Vanilla? Chocolate? Coffee?" "Definitely not coffee," he replied. "I'm actually more of a tea man, myself."

“至少他们分清轻重缓急，”松鼠女孩说。 “为了感谢你帮助保护我的公园，我可以给你买一个蛋筒吗，蜘蛛侠？” 你喜欢哪种冰淇淋？ 香草?巧克力吗?咖啡吗?”“肯定不是咖啡，”他回答。 “其实我自己更喜欢喝茶。”

Spider-Man froze. Tea, he thought. He was late for Aunt May's tea party! "Squirrel Girl, I'm sorry to fight crime and fly, but I'm an hour past late for something really important," he explained. "Can I take a rain check on that celebration?" "Sure thing, bug-boy," Squirrel Girl said. "You're welcome in Central Park anytime. Right, Tippy-Toe?"

蜘蛛侠冻结。茶，他想。 他参加梅阿姨的茶话会迟到了！“松鼠女孩，我很抱歉来打击犯罪和飞行，但我有一件非常重要的事情，已经迟到了一个小时。”他解释道。 “我能改天再去庆祝吗？”“当然，小虫，”松鼠女孩说。 “随时欢迎你来中央公园。 Tippy-Toe ?”

"Chitta chit," Tippy-Toe agreed. Spider-Man gave Central Park's protector and her squirrely sidekick a nod. Then he took to the skies.

“奇塔奇特。”踮脚尖同意了。 蜘蛛侠向中央公园的守护者和她古怪的伙伴点了点头。 然后他飞向天空。
