Jordan said maybe we should raid one of the girls' cabins and steal some of THEIR deodorant, but that turned into a big debate about whether girls actually USE deodorant. But what everyone was excited about was the idea of going on a RAID. The person who was MOST excited was Emilio. But we told him it was too dangerous for him to go with us since he couldn't SEE. He said we NEEDED him because he has an excellent sense of smell and could sniff out the girls' cabins. We weren't sure if he was bluffing, so we ran him through a smell test where he had to identify a bunch of different things. And sure enough, he got every single one.

乔丹说也许我们应该突袭其中一个女孩的小屋，偷一些她们的除臭剂，但这变成了一场关于女孩是否真的使用除臭剂的大争论。 但是让每个人都感到兴奋的是RAID的想法。 最兴奋的人是埃米利奥。 但是我们告诉他和我们一起去太危险了，因为他看不见。 他说我们需要他，因为他嗅觉灵敏，能嗅出女孩们的小屋。 我们不确定他是不是在虚张声势，所以我们给他做了嗅觉测试，让他辨别出一堆不同的东西。 果不其然，他得到了每一个。

So Emilio was in. We all started getting ready, but right when we were about to head out, Mr. Nuzzi came to check on us. I guess it was pretty obvious to Mr. Nuzzi that we were up to no good, so he told us we'd all be in BIG trouble if he caught any of us sneaking out. Plus, the heard Silas Scratch was on the prowl tonight so we'd better stay indoors. Then Mr. Nuzzi left, and a few minutes later he came back with a bottle of baby powder.

所以埃米利奥加入了。我们都开始准备，但就在我们要出发的时候，努齐先生来检查我们。 我想，对努齐先生来说，很明显我们不打算做什么好事，所以他告诉我们，如果他抓住我们中的任何一个偷偷溜出去，我们都会有大麻烦。 另外，他们听说塞拉斯·斯克拉奇今晚在四处游荡所以我们最好待在家里。 然后努齐先生离开了，几分钟后他拿着一瓶婴儿爽身粉回来了。

He sprinkled it in a big circle around our cabin so that if we DID leave, our footprints would give us away. Everyone started to panic because they thought we were trapped in our cabin for the rest of the night. But then I remembered a chapter from my BOOK that could help us. HIDING YOUR NUMBERS Ancient ninjas had a clever way of fooling their enemies. When traveling in a group, ninjas would walk in single file, carefully stepping into the same set of footprints. Then they'd ambush their pursuers, who would be shocked to discover that they were not following the tracks of ONE person but many!

他把它撒在我们小屋周围的一个大圈里，这样，如果我们真的离开了，我们的脚印就会暴露我们的身份。 每个人都开始恐慌，因为他们以为我们整个晚上都被困在小屋里了。 但后来我想起了我书中的一个章节，可以帮助我们。 远古的忍者有一种巧妙的方法来愚弄他们的敌人。 在集体旅行时，忍者们会排成一个纵队，小心翼翼地踩在同一组脚印上。 然后，他们会伏击他们的追捕者，他们会惊讶地发现，他们跟踪的不是一个人，而是许多人！

Mr. Nuzzi had left his OWN footprints in the baby powder when he was spreading it around. So all we needed to do was follow in his exact footsteps and he'd never know we left. The only problem was that Mr. Nuzzi's footprints were a lot bigger than any of ours. But Mr. Jefferson had left his hiking boots under the bed, and they looked like a perfect match. I went first. It was a little hard staying in Mr. Nuzzi's tracks, but I made it to the other side of the baby powder.

努齐先生在撒婴儿爽身粉的时候在上面留下了自己的脚印。 所以我们要做的就是跟随他的脚步他永远不会知道我们离开了。 唯一的问题是努齐先生的脚印比我们的都大得多。 但是杰弗逊先生把他的登山靴放在床底下了，它们看起来简直是绝配。 我先去的。跟在努齐先生的脚印上有点困难，但我还是走到了婴儿爽身粉的另一边。

Then I tossed the boots back to the NEXT guy. We got everyone out of the cabin that way. Even Emilio, who hitched a ride with Jeffrey. Once we were all clear, we headed through the woods toward the girls' cabins. But before we knew it, we were totally lost. It was kind of scary because nobody even knew which way OUR cabin was.

然后我把靴子扔给下一个人。 我们用那条路把所有人都救了出来。 甚至是埃米利奥，他搭了杰弗里的车。 一切安全之后，我们穿过树林，朝女孩们的小屋走去。 但在我们意识到之前，我们完全迷路了。 这有点可怕，因为没有人知道我们的小屋在哪边。

Then Jeffrey made everything a hundred times WORSE by bringing up the subject of Silas Scratch. Jeffrey said Silas Scratch was probably watching our every move and was gonna pick us off one by one and eat us alive. That got my cabinmates all stirred up, and I thought they were gonna scatter in every direction. But Emilio saved the day when he picked up a scent in the air.

接着，杰弗里又提起了塞拉斯抓挠的话题，把事情搞得更糟了。 杰弗里说塞拉斯可能在监视我们的一举一动想把我们一个个抓起来生吃。 我的舱友们都被激怒了，我以为他们会四散而逃。 但埃米利奥在空气中闻到了一种气味，挽救了局面。
