Greta sniffed." I bet it was the same monster who drew the mustache on Mr. Freaky's poster

格蕾塔抽了抽鼻子。“我打赌就是那个在怪奇先生海报上画胡子的怪物干的。

That was funny, but this is mean!"

那件事很滑稽，但这事太恶劣了！”

旁白 neutral

" It is mean," Ben thought

旁白 neutral

He remembered that Mog had been with the Doppel Gang when they decorated Mr. Freaky's poster with a mustache

他想起莫格曾和多佩尔帮一起给怪奇先生的海报画过胡子。

We have to get the mess cleaned up so we can start painting."

Nodding, Greta wiped her nose

Winnie turned to Waldo

" Our painting has to be ready for Leonardo da Creepy's visit on Friday night

Do you think you can make more paints for us tonight?"

" Sure." Waldo was wiping some paint drops from his glasses

“没问题。”沃尔多擦着眼镜上溅到的颜料滴。

旁白 neutral

" It should be okay. I mean, as long as my magic spell works again."

" Uh-oh," Ben thought

“糟了，”本想。

As Ben mopped the floor, he looked around for clues

On the far side of the gym, he spotted something

Tiny droplets of paint were tracked across the floor

Ben put down the mop and followed the trail

旁白 neutral

It led out a rear door of the gym and into the boys' locker room

旁白 neutral

Near the row of sinks, the paint trail stopped

旁白 neutral

" Huh," Ben murmured

“嗯，”本咕哝道。

旁白 neutral

" Maybe the vandal stopped here to clean paint off himself."

旁白 neutral

" What are you guys doing?" Ben called

The office ogre stood nearby, her arms folded

旁白 neutral

" They drew a mustache on Mr. Freaky's poster," she snapped

" I don't care what Ms. Van Ghoul says — that is not art

" How much longer do we have to clean?" Carly complained

旁白 neutral

I may send you down there to help him after you've finished this!"

等你们干完这里的活，我可能会打发你们下去帮他！”

旁白 neutral

Ben noticed that none of the doppelgangers reacted to the office ogre's mention of the gym emergency

本注意到，几个分身对办公室女魔头提到的体育馆紧急情况毫无反应。

旁白 neutral

" Hmm," he thought." Maybe they didn't spill the paint. Now, where's Mog?"

“嗯，”他想，“也许颜料不是他们洒的。那么，莫格在哪里？”

旁白 neutral

A few minutes later, Ben found his friend in the art room

旁白 neutral

" I think Winnie and her friends can handle the mess," Ben replied carefully

“我觉得温妮和她的朋友们能处理这烂摊子，”本小心地回答。

旁白 neutral

" But do you have any idea who might have done it?"

旁白 neutral

" Nope." Mog shook his head

“不知道。”莫格摇了摇头。

旁白 neutral

" I've been in here since classes ended, working on an art project."

旁白 neutral

He held up a photo of the gym teacher

He'd drawn a mustache and beard on the teacher's face

He showed Ben several other pictures with mustaches and beards drawn on them

" What do you think?"

旁白 neutral

" What do you mean?" Mog said

旁白 neutral

" Winnie said I needed inspiration

I got inspired — by the Doppel Gang's art."

旁白 neutral

" It's not really art," Ben repeated

旁白 neutral

" The Doppel Gang was just making trouble when they drew that mustache on Mr. Freaky."

“分身帮在弗瑞奇先生脸上画胡子时，只是在捣乱。”

旁白 neutral

" Ms. Van Ghoul said it was art!" Mog said indignantly

“范古尔女士说那是艺术！”莫格愤愤不平地说。

旁白 neutral

" I think she just wanted to calm down Mr. Freaky, so he wouldn't ruin Art Week before it began."

“我觉得她只是想安抚弗瑞奇先生，免得他在艺术周开始前就把它搞砸了。”

旁白 neutral

" Well, I like these photos," Mog insisted

“好吧，我喜欢这些照片，”莫格坚持道。

旁白 neutral

" I'm going to give them to Ms. Van Ghoul to display for Art Week

“我要把它们交给范古尔女士，在艺术周上展示。

旁白 neutral

If she doesn't like them, she doesn't have to use them."

如果她不喜欢，可以不展出。”

旁白 neutral

Ben sighed and then floated out of the classroom and back to the gym

旁白 neutral

He still had no idea who'd tampered with the magic paints

旁白 neutral

But he was a reporter

旁白 neutral

So he knew how to keep his eyes and ears open for clues
