3 Spiders

CHAPTER 3 SPIDERS Lola sat down on the step. Corn sat next to her. "The problem is that the vacuum cleaner is so big," Lola told Corn. "I need to rescue someone from something smaller. Unfortunately, she could only think of one small scary thing.

第三章 蜘蛛 萝拉在台阶上坐了下来。 小玉米挨着她坐下。 “问题是吸尘器太大啦，”萝拉对小玉米说。 “我得去救困在更小的东西里的人才行。 可惜啊，她只能想到一样小小的、吓人的东西。

Spiders. Lola and Corn looked at each other. Then Lola looked at the shed. There were always spiders in the shed. If Lola wanted to play with Millie, she needed to become a knight. If she wanted to become a knight, she needed to rescue someone. Lola fixed her shin pads and stood up. "Maybe there will be no-one for us to rescue in there," she whispered.

蜘蛛。 萝拉和小玉米对视了一眼。 接着萝拉看向了杂物棚。 杂物棚里总少不了蜘蛛。 要是萝拉想和米莉一起玩，她就得先成为骑士。 要是她想成为骑士，就得先救出某个人。 萝拉把护胫理了理，站了起来。 “说不定里面根本没人等着咱们救呢。”她小声嘀咕。

Lola walked slowly to the shed and peeked through the window. Spot the cat was lying on a bench in the sun. There were spiderwebs everywhere. "I know you don't want to go inside," Lola told Corn. "But we should rescue Spot."

萝拉慢悠悠地走到杂物棚边上，透过窗户往里面瞅。 猫咪点点正趴在长凳上晒太阳呢。 棚子里到处都是蜘蛛网。 “我知道你不想进去的，”萝拉对小玉米说。 “可咱们得去救点点呀。”

She carefully pushed open the door. It creaked, like a spider yelling at her to stay out. She flicked on the light, and then picked up a rake to use as her sword and a bin lid to use as her shield.

她小心翼翼地推开了门。 门吱呀作响，就像有只蜘蛛在大吼，叫她别进去。 她啪地打开灯，接着抄起一把耙子当剑，又拿了个垃圾桶盖子当盾牌。

"If you are in here, spiders, she yelled, "you should be very, very scared!" The spiders did not make a sound. Lola crept forward, wishing she had her helmet or even Dad's undies. She ducked down onto the floor. If she moved like a spider, maybe the spiders wouldn't notice her.

“蜘蛛们，要是你们在这儿的话，”她大喊道，“你们可就倒霉啦！” 蜘蛛们一点动静都没有。 萝拉蹑手蹑脚地往前走，真希望自己戴着头盔，哪怕戴爸爸的内裤也行啊。 她蹲低身子贴到地上。 要是她像蜘蛛一样爬，说不定蜘蛛就注意不到她了。

"Lola?" Dad called from outside. Lola startled and dropped the rake. It clanged as it hit the floor, and Spot leapt up. "Lola?" Dad called again. Lola was about to answer when, out the corner of her eye, she saw something crawling towards her. "APPLE CRUMBLE!" Lola yelled. "CHOCOLATE ICE-CREAM!" The spider crawled closer.

“萝拉？” 爸爸在外面喊她。 萝拉吓了一跳，耙子都掉了。 耙子哐当一声砸在地上，吓得点点一下子跳了起来。 “萝拉？” 爸爸又喊了一声。 萝拉正打算答应，眼角余光却瞥见有什么东西正朝她爬过来。 “苹果酥！” 萝拉大叫起来。 “巧克力冰淇淋！” 那只蜘蛛爬得更近了。
