Dennis decided to make his first dream and make mess1. When the bottle broke, the dream mix was released2 and filled the room. Dennis then jumped onto the conveyor belt. It carried him out of the room, into a dark tunnel3. When he heard some gnomes coming, Dennis climbed out and hid behind a pile of bags. The sign above the door read, “Packing Room.”

丹尼斯決定先制造一个梦境然后引起混乱。当瓶子打碎的时候,混合的梦境被释放出来,弥漫在整个房间里。丹尼斯趁机跳到一个传送带上。传送带将他带出了这个房间,进入了一个黑暗的隧道。听到有小矮人们走过来时,丹尼斯爬了出去,藏在一堆袋子后面,门上的牌子写着“打包间”。

Just then a gnome driving a small car went into the room. Dennis saw his chance to get out of the room. He hid between two bags. He ran to another room. The room was small, and there was little light. There was only one gnome inside, and he sat at the conveyor belt, stamping4 each paper as it passed.

就在这时,一个小矮人开着一辆小汽车进入这个房间。丹尼斯看准了离开这个房间的时机,他躲到两个包之间,然后跑到了另一个房间。这个房间很小,几乎没有光。里面只有一个小矮人,他坐在传送带旁边,给每一张经过的纸盖章。

“Hello,” said Dennis.

丹尼斯问候道:“你好。”

“I am the Stamper. I have to stamp to the papers and I cannot miss a single one. No one can look at these papers. Now stop bothering5 me because you make me miss.”

“我是盖印人,我要给这些纸盖章,一张都不能漏掉。任何人都不能看这些纸上的内容。现在请不要打扰我,因为你会让我的工作出纰漏的。”

“Well...what kind of papers are they?” asked Dennis.

丹尼斯问道:“好吧,这些都是什么纸?”

“Employee contracts6!No one may look!” shouted the Stamper. “I dont even look at them.”

盖印人喊道:“雇佣合同。任何人都不能看,甚至连我都没看过。”

“You dont look? But youre approving7 them. How can you do that?”

“你都没看过?但是你却在批阅。你怎么做到的?”

“All these papers need approving, and without me they would not get approved.”

“所有纸张都需要批阅,没有我,这些东西就不会被批准。”

“Youre not even reading them,” answered Dennis. “Dont you think its irresponsible8? Dont you think its silly9? Dont you think its...wrong?”

“可是你都没读过它们的内容,你不觉得你这样很不负责任吗,你不觉得你这样做很愚蠢吗?你不觉得你这样做……是不对的吗?”丹尼斯说。

Stamper froze10 for a few seconds, then shook his head and went on stamping again. The door opened and a dozen gnomes with uniforms ran in. They grabbed11 Dennis and picked him up.

盖印人愣了一会儿,然后摇头继续盖章。这时候,门开了,一群穿着制服的小矮人冲进来,他们抓住丹尼斯并逮捕了他。

“Weve found you!Youre going to see Remmy.”

“终于找到你了,我们要带你去见雷米。”

“We had a deal, Dennis. Why did you leave your spot on the factory line? It took us a long time to fix the mess you made,” Remmy said angrily12.

雷米愤怒地说:“我们之间说好的,丹尼斯。为什么你要离开你的工作岗位?我们花了很长时间来解决你制造的混乱。
