Ready for Action

Chapter 12 Ready for Action " This is spooky, Clyde, " Claudia said. We sneaked into the narrow alley behind the warehouse. It was dark and hard to see. " Yikes! " Claudia stomped down hard.

第十二章准备行动 “这里好恐怖，克莱德，”克劳迪娅说。 我们偷偷溜进了仓库后面的狭窄小巷。 这里很黑，很难看清楚。 “哎呀!”克劳迪娅重重地踩了一下。

OUCH! - " Oops! Sorry! " Claudia said. " You need to calm down! " I said. " You mean, like you are?" Claudia pointed as I bounced a little. " Okay, so I'm excited, " I said. “ It's how I get when I'm ready for action. " I stepped around a box and tried opening the warehouse door. But it was locked. " How do we get in?" Claudia asked. " We?" I said. " You're not going in! You're my lookout. " " So I'm here just to watch and warn you if someone comes?" Claudia asked. " And because you're as worried about the animals as I am. " I glanced up at an open window near the top of the warehouse.

哎哟! “哎呀!对不起!”克劳迪娅说。 “你需要冷静下来!”我说。 “你是指像你这样吗?”克劳迪娅指着我稍微跳了一下。 “好吧，我很兴奋，”我说。“这是我准备行动时的样子。” 我绕过一个箱子，试图打开仓库的门。但是门锁着。 “我们怎么进去?”克劳迪娅问。 “我们?”我说。“你不用进去!你是我放哨的。” “所以我在这里只是为了观察，如果有人来就警告你?”克劳迪娅问。 “还因为你和我一样担心这些动物。”我抬头看了看仓库顶部附近的一个开着的窗户。

" So, what's your plan?" Claudia asked. I grinned. “ To turn into a monkey and have some fun. " " Clyde! " Claudia said. " Okay, " I said. " Here it is: My plan is to sneak inside, unlock the cages, and lead the animals to freedom. " " And to be careful, " Claudia said. " Like I always am, " I said. I stepped back to look up, and-

“那么，你的计划是什么?”克劳迪娅问。 我咧嘴一笑。“变成猴子，找点乐子。” “克莱德!”克劳迪娅说。 “好吧，”我说。“计划是这样的:我偷偷溜进去，打开笼子，带领动物们走向自由。” “还要小心，”克劳迪娅说。 “像我平时一样，”我说。我后退一步抬头看一一

" Oops! " I looked at the box I tripped over. " Are you sure you can do this, Clyde?" Claudia helped me to my feet. " I have to, " I said. Claudia looked worried. " I'll be fine, " I said, " once I change into you-know-what. " " Be careful, Clyde! " Claudia said. " I will, " I said.

“哎呀!”我看了看我绊倒的那个箱子。 “克莱德，你确定你能做这个吗?”克劳迪娅帮我站了起来。 “我必须这么做，”我说。 克劳迪娅看起来很担心。 “我会没事的，”我说，“一旦我变成那个你知道的。” “小心点，克莱德!”克劳迪娅说。 “我会的，”我说。

I closed my eyes and thought about exciting things. Like skateboarding down the school hallway! Eating a banana split! Freeing the pet-napped animals! My head started spinning. My heart raced. Faster. And faster. I sneezed. " A-CHOO! "

我闭上眼睛，想象一些令人兴奋的事情。比如在学校走廊上滑滑板!吃香蕉圣代!解救被绑架的宠物! 我的头开始旋转。我的心跳加速。越来越快，越来越快。 我打了个喷嚏。“阿嚏!”
