A lady answered, and I told her about the spider problem and how I needed her to send someone QUICK. But either I was talking too fast or there was some language confusion, because all she kept asking for was my BREAKFAST order. Eventually, I gave up and just ordered scrambled eggs and a side of bacon. I honestly didn't care WHAT it took to get someone to come, as long as they came FAST. When I hung up the phone, the noise jolted the spider, which ran across the floor and stopped right in front of the sink. Now this thing was even CLOSER, and I was too scared to move.

一位女士接了电话，我告诉她蜘蛛的问题，我需要她尽快派人来。 但要么是我说得太快了，要么是语言混乱，因为她一直在问我要什么早餐。 最后，我放弃了，只点了炒蛋和一份熏肉。 老实说，我并不在乎要花多少钱才能让别人来，只要他们来得快就行。 当我挂掉电话时，噪音震动了蜘蛛，它从地板上跑过，停在水池前。 现在这东西离我更近了，我吓得不敢动。

I stood frozen for about fifteen minutes, barely breathing. But then the phone rang, and the sound surprised me so much I almost lost my balance. It was the room service waiter. He said he had come to our suite to deliver my food, but there was a "Do Not Disturt" sign on the door, so the turned around and went back to the kitchen.

我僵僵地站了大约15分钟，几乎没有呼吸。 但是电话响了，声音让我大吃一惊，我几乎失去了平衡。 是客房服务员打来的。 他说他是来给我送食物的，但门上挂着“请勿打扰”的牌子，所以他转身回到了厨房。

I told him to come BACK to the room and that he had permission to kick down the door if he wantes. When I hung up the phone, the spider started running around again, and I was worried it was gonna figure out where I was and come get me. I looked around to see if there was anything I could use to DEFEND myself, but the only thing within arm's reach was a glass on the sink. I realized that if the spider came close enough, I might be able to TRAP it. Sure enough, it ran right beneath me. And when it did, I managed to drop the glass on top of it.

我告诉他回到房间里来，如果他想的话，他可以踢开门。 当我挂了电话，蜘蛛又开始到处乱跑，我担心它会知道我在哪里，然后来抓我。 我环顾四周，想看看是否有什么可以用来保护自己的东西，但在我伸手可及的范围内，只有水池上的一个玻璃杯。 我意识到，如果蜘蛛靠得足够近，我也许能把它困住。 果然，它就在我下面跑。 当它掉下来的时候，我设法把玻璃掉在它上面。

The spider wriggled around inside the glass, but it couldn't get OUT. I got down off the sink real slow and backed out of the bathroom, keeping one eye on the spider. But when I turned to leave, I smashed right into the WAITER. All the noise got the spider moving again, and it took the glass WITH it. At first I wasn't worried, because it was still trapped inside. Then it crawled over the DRAIN where the floor dipped down a little, and that gave it just enough space to wiggle OUT.

蜘蛛在玻璃里扭动着，但出不去。 我慢慢地从水池里爬下来，退到浴室外，一只眼睛盯着蜘蛛。 但当我转身离开时，我正好撞上了那个服务员。 所有的噪音使蜘蛛又动了起来，它把玻璃也带走了。 一开始我并不担心，因为它还被困在里面。 然后它爬过排水管，那里的地板稍微下陷了一点，这正好给了它足够的空间来蠕动出去。

That's when I found out the room service guy had the same problem with spiders that I did. I knew it was up to me to deal with this thing, so I tried to trap it with the cover for the food. But the spider was zigzagging all OVER the place, and it wasn't easy.

就在那时，我发现客房服务员和我一样对蜘蛛有同样的问题。 我知道该由我来对付这东西，所以我试着用食物的盖子把它困住。 但这只蜘蛛到处都是之字形，这并不容易。

Finally, I caught the spider by pinning it against the wall. I didn't really know what to do NEXT, because the second I lifted the food cover, that thing was gonna be off and running again. Then I noticed that one of the spider's legs was sticking halfway out from under the lid. I tried to move the lid to cover the whole spider, but I guess I pressed too hard, because the leg fell OFF. The spider dropped onto the floor, and now it was going NUTS. I was running around on my tiptoes, trying to make sure I didn't get IT.

最后，我把蜘蛛钉在墙上抓住了它。 我真的不知道下一步该做什么，因为我一打开食物盖，那东西就会又跑起来。 然后我注意到蜘蛛的一条腿从盖子下面伸出来一半。 我试着移动盖子来盖住整只蜘蛛，但我想我压得太紧了，因为蜘蛛的腿掉了。 蜘蛛掉到了地板上，现在它快要发疯了。 我踮着脚尖到处跑，试图确保我没有得到它。
