Chapter 2

A three-eyed tour guide met the class in the huge lobby of Monsters, Inc. Serious-looking monsters of every size and description hurried past the group. Mike was impressed. He knew they were all part of the important process of gathering screams and turning them into power for the city of Monstropolis.
“Stay close together. We’re entering a very dangerous area,” the guide warned. He led the students into a long, dimly lit factory room and announced, “Welcome to the scare floor!”
“Whoa!” the kids cried. Mike, at the back of the group, strained for a glimpse of the room. He was so small that he couldn’t see over his classmates’ shoulders.
“This is where we collect the scream energy to power our whole world,” the guide explained. “Can anyone tell me whose job it is to get that scream?”
The kids yelled at the same time, “Scarers!”
“That’s right!” The tour guide smiled. “Which one of you can give me the scariest roar?”
A voice came from the back of the group. “Ooh! Ooh! Sir! Right here, little green guy at two o’clock,” Mike called.
The other kids shouted, too. “Me! Me!” Some even began to roar.
Mike tried harder. “Hey, guys, watch this one!” But another kid roared before Mike got a chance. And then a giant roar came from the back of the room. It was Mike! The whole group turned and stared. Mike felt pretty pleased with himself, until he realized that the class actually was staring at a group of huge Scarers approaching behind him.
The Scarers strode past the kids with cool confidence. One of them, a tall blue monster wearing a cap with the letters “MU” on it, turned to them. “Oh, hey there, kids! On tour with your school?”
“Yeah!” the kids cheered.
“Yes,” Mrs. Graves said, smiling, “we’re here to learn about scream energy and what it takes to be a Scarer!”
“You are?” the Scarer replied. “Well, hey, you’re in luck. I just happen to be a Scarer! I learned everything I know from my school, Monsters University. Good old MU,” the Scarer said. “It’s the best scaring school there is.”
Another Scarer, wearing a Fear Tech hat, snuck up behind the first one and snatched his MU cap. “You wish,” the second one said, chuckling. “Fear Tech’s the best.”
The MU Scarer laughed and took his hat back. “Okay,” he said to the class, “you guys tell me which school’s the best.” He pointed to his hat and grinned, whispering, “MU is!”
While more workers streamed onto the scare floor, the tour guide ushered the excited kids to a viewing area. As Mike studied his surroundings, he accidentally stepped over a yellow line on the floor. “Oops, stop right there,” the tour guide warned him. “Don’t cross that safety line.” Everyone knew that human children were toxic and dangerous, so it was important to stay a safe distance away.
Mike quickly stepped back just as a row of doors was wheeled onto the floor. Again, all his classmates rushed forward, blocking his view. “Whoa, hey!” Mike protested as he was pushed and elbowed to the rear of the crowd. “Watch the eye!”
Desperate to see, Mike jumped up and down. Finally, he peeked through a sea of legs and glimpsed a door being placed into a door station. The light above the door turned red, which meant that a direct link had been created to the human world. When a Scarer stepped through this door, he’d be entering the human world through a child’s closet door. Mike watched the Scarer, who was crouched and snarling. Mike figured he was warming up.
“Look, he’s gonna do a real scare!” a kid in front yelled just before Mike’s view was completely blocked. He tried to nudge his way forward, but one of the bigger kids pushed him back. “Out of the way, Wazowski,” the kid said. “You don’t belong on a scare floor.” But Mike didn’t believe that for a second, and he wasn’t about to give up.
Mrs. Graves was trying to keep her excited students from misbehaving. “Brian,” she said sharply, “do not step over the line.”
Brian looked up at her and whined, “But, Mrs. Graves, Michael went over the line.” Mrs. Graves looked around and was shocked to see Mike crouched behind the Scarer at the door.
“Michael!” she yelled as the Scarer opened the door to the human world and crept inside. Then, to everyone’s surprise, Mike slipped into the human world right behind the Scarer!

第 2 章

一位長著三只眼睛的參觀向?qū)г诠镜拇髲d處接待了同學(xué)們。許多大小各異、怪模怪樣的家伙從他們身旁匆匆走過，表情嚴肅。麥克被深深地吸引住了，他知道這些人都是公司的重要成員，負責(zé)將尖叫聲收集起來再轉(zhuǎn)化為電能，供怪獸之都使用。
“大家靠緊一點。我們要進入一個非常危險的區(qū)域了！”向?qū)嵝汛蠹艺f。他帶領(lǐng)學(xué)生們走進一間又長又暗的廠房，宣布道：“歡迎大家來到尖叫層！”
“哇哦！”孩子們發(fā)出陣陣驚嘆聲。站在隊伍最后面的麥克努力向前看，想看看這個房間的樣子。他實在是太小了，沒法越過同學(xué)們的肩頭看到前面。
向?qū)Ыo孩子們介紹：“我們在這里收集尖叫能量，為整個怪獸世界提供電能。有沒有人能告訴我，誰是負責(zé)收集尖叫的呢？”
孩子們異口同聲道：“驚嚇專員！”
“沒錯！”向?qū)M意地笑了笑說，“現(xiàn)在，誰能給我來一個最恐怖的咆哮呢？”
麥克的聲音從隊伍最后面?zhèn)鱽恚?ldquo;哦！哦！先生！這里這里！在你兩點鐘方向的小綠怪！”
其他小怪獸也爭先恐后地喊著：“我！我！”有的小怪獸甚至已經(jīng)開始咆哮起來。
麥克喊得更賣力了：“來吧，大伙兒！聽聽我這個！”他正要發(fā)聲，卻被另一個小怪獸搶了先。接著，一聲巨大的咆哮從房間后面?zhèn)鱽恚鞘躯溈税l(fā)出的咆哮！看到整個班級都轉(zhuǎn)過身來注視著自己，麥克感到很滿意。然后他發(fā)現(xiàn)，同學(xué)們注視著的其實是他身后那群威猛的驚嚇專員，他們正從他身后走來。
驚嚇專員們大步走過孩子們身旁，瀟灑而自信。其中一位藍色的怪獸身材高挑，戴著一頂印有“怪大”字樣的帽子，他轉(zhuǎn)過身來問同學(xué)們：“嘿，小不點兒，你們是在參加學(xué)校組織的見學(xué)嗎？”
“對！”孩子們顯得異常激動。
“是的，”格拉芙老師笑著向他解釋說，“我們來這里學(xué)習(xí)有關(guān)尖叫能量的知識，以及怎樣成為一名驚嚇專員！”
“是嗎？”驚嚇專員說，“好吧，你們運氣真好。我正好就是一名驚嚇專員！我所有的知識都是在我的學(xué)校——怪獸大學(xué)——學(xué)到的。我的母校怪獸大學(xué)可是世界上最好的驚嚇學(xué)校了。”
“別臭美了。”另一個帶著“恐懼理工學(xué)院”帽子的驚嚇專員從他后面悄悄走來，一把搶去了他“怪獸大學(xué)”的帽子，輕輕地笑道，“恐理才是最好的。”
怪獸大學(xué)畢業(yè)的驚嚇專員笑呵呵地拿回自己的帽子，轉(zhuǎn)頭向同學(xué)們說道：“好吧，你們來告訴我哪個學(xué)校最棒。”說完，他指了指自己的帽子，又咧嘴一笑，悄聲說道：“是怪獸大學(xué)！”
此時，越來越多的工作人員集中到尖叫層，向?qū)О押⒆觽儙У搅藚⒂^區(qū)。麥克仔細打量著周圍，一不留神踩到了地上的一條黃線。向?qū)嵝阉f：“哦，小心，就停在這兒。千萬別越過安全線。”眾所周知，人類的孩子是有毒的，非常危險，所以必須保持安全距離。
麥克趕緊收回腳。就在這時，一排門被緩緩送到地面上。同學(xué)們再一次向前涌去，推推搡搡地把麥克擠到隊伍最后，擋住了他的視線。“喂，嘿！你們注意一下嘛！”麥克抗議道。
麥克一次又一次跳起來，想一探究竟。最終，他從大家的腿縫間瞥見工作人員正在將門固定到門框里。裝好之后，門上的紅燈就亮了起來，表示這扇門可以直接通到人類世界了。只要驚嚇專員跨過門框，就能從一扇兒童臥室的壁櫥門進入人類世界了。麥克看到驚嚇專員蜷縮著身體，低聲吼叫著，猜想他應(yīng)該在熱身。
“看哪！他要去嚇人啦！”一只站在前面的小怪獸喊道，接著麥克的視線就被徹底擋住了。麥克努力想要擠到前面去看看，但一只更大的怪獸把他推了回去，說道：“走開，華斯基，你可不屬于驚嚇層。”但是麥克一刻也沒把那話當(dāng)真，也不打算放棄。
格拉芙老師試圖讓激動的孩子們守規(guī)矩一點，厲聲說道：“布萊恩，別踩到那條警戒線！”
布萊恩抬起頭向格拉芙老師抱怨道：“可是，老師，麥克都越過警戒線了。”格拉芙老師環(huán)顧四周，發(fā)現(xiàn)麥克正蹲在那位驚嚇專員的身后，就在通往人類世界的門口，她簡直驚呆了！
“麥克！”她大喊道。但是驚嚇專員已經(jīng)打開門，躡手躡腳地進去了。接著，讓所有人大吃一驚的是，麥克也跟著驚嚇專員溜進了人類世界！
