4. Snow Drama

Chapter 4 SNOW DRAMA WEDNESDAY Dear Diary, You are not going to believe this! It snowed all night again! But at least this morning, Bella was happy to play inside. Her mom had other ideas. Bella, go outside and play! But there's a monster next door. Mom! I heard it! And I saw smoke and sparks!

亲爱的日记：你不会相信的！又下了一整夜的雪！但至少今天早上，贝拉很高兴在里面玩。 她妈妈可不这么想。贝拉，出去玩吧！但是隔壁有个怪物。 妈妈!我听到了！我看到了烟和火花！

Bella's mom told her again and again that there was no monster next door. She said it was probably the boy who just moved in. But we didn't believe her. Bubby, I have bad news. We have a playdate with the new boy and his pet dog on Sunday.

贝拉的妈妈一遍又一遍地告诉她，隔壁没有怪物。 她说可能是那个刚搬进来的男孩。 但我们不相信她。 布比，我有个坏消息。星期天我们要和新来的男孩和他的宠物狗一起玩。

Bella and I took matters into our own paws. Before Sunday, we had to find out who—or what—was living next door! What if we don't like the new boy? I'm more worried about his pet! That noise we heard didn't sound like a dog —it sounded like a monster!

贝拉和我自己处理这件事。 在星期天之前，我们必须找出谁——或者什么——住在隔壁！如果我们不喜欢新来的男孩怎么办？ 我更担心他的宠物！我们听到的声音听起来不像狗的声音——听起来像怪物的声音！

We waited until it was quiet and the coast was clear. Then we went outside to set up our spy headquarters. What if the boy is mean? What if the monster eats pugs for breakfast?

我们一直等到风平浪静，海岸也没有人了。 然后我们出去建立我们的间谍总部。 如果这个男孩很刻薄怎么办？如果怪物把哈巴狗当早餐吃怎么办？

We couldn't imagine what horrible animal would make all that noise. What kind of pet sounds like that? A polar bear? A lion? Duchess?

我们无法想象是什么可怕的动物会发出那么大的声音。 什么样的宠物会这样叫？ 一只北极熊？一头狮子吗?公爵夫人吗?

Diary, I bet you thought yesterday sounded scary. But today was even worse. We heard loud growling and saw more smoke and sparks. The walls of our snow fort started to shake! I think it's going to cave in! Run, Bub!

日记，我打赌你觉得昨天听起来很可怕。 但今天更糟了。我们听到了巨大的咆哮声，看到了更多的烟雾和火花。 我们雪堡的墙壁开始摇晃！我觉得它要塌了！运行时,小家伙!
