10 Ch10-The Evidence

Chapter 10 The Evidence There were five minutes left in recess. Ryan, Michael, Andrea, Emily, and I sneaked in from the playground through the door to the library. "Shhhhh!" I said as we tiptoed into the library. "Follow me." Lucky for us, the library was empty. Mrs. Roopy was probably eating lunch in

第十章证据休庭还剩五分钟。 瑞安、迈克尔、安德里亚、艾米丽和我从操场穿过图书馆的门溜了进来。 “嘘!”当我们蹑手蹑脚地走进图书馆时，我说。 “跟我来。”幸运的是，图书馆是空的。 鲁比太太可能在吃午饭

the teachers' room. On our hands and knees, we made our way past the nonfiction books to Mrs. Roopy's office. The door was unlocked. I opened it. "We're going to get caught," Emily said.

老师的房间。我们跪在地上，穿过非虚构类书籍，来到鲁比太太的办公室。 门没锁。我打开了它。 “我们会被抓住的，”艾米丽说。

"We're going to be kicked out of school and thrown in jail for the rest of our lives." "In here," I said, ignoring Emily. "This is where we'll find the evidence." We were inside Mrs. Roopy's office. I wanted to turn the light on, but Michael told me that when his father is doing a secret investigation, he never turns the lights on. We tried to see the best we could with the light that came in through the window. "Do you see any evidence?" Michael said. "Not yet." It was just a bunch of boring stuff.

“我们会被赶出学校，在监狱里度过余生。” “在这里，”我说，没有理睬艾米丽。 “这是我们找到证据的地方。” 我们在鲁比太太的办公室里。 我想把灯打开，但迈克尔告诉我，当他父亲在做秘密调查时，他从不开灯。 透过窗户进来的光线，我们尽量看得清楚些。 “你看到什么证据了吗?”迈克尔说。 “还没有。”只是一堆无聊的东西。

Pictures of Mrs. Roopy's daughter. Papers. Videos. Junk No evidence at all. "Let's get out of here," Emily said. "I'm scared." "Not yet," I said. There was a closet by the corner. I pulled the handle. It wasn't locked. And there, inside the closet, was all the evidence we would ever need. George Washington's uniform. Little Bo Peep's dress. Johnny Appleseed's overalls. Neil Armstrong's spacesuit. Every single costume Mrs. Roopy had been wearing was hanging right there in the closet. "This is the proof!" Michael said. "All those people were just Mrs. Roopy dressed

鲁比太太女儿的照片。 论文。视频。垃圾，完全没有证据。 “我们离开这里吧，”艾米丽说。 “我害怕。”“还没有，”我说。 角落里有个壁橱。 我拉动把手。门没锁。 在那个壁橱里，有我们需要的所有证据。 乔治·华盛顿的制服。 小波比的裙子。苹果籽约翰尼的工装裤。 尼尔·阿姆斯特朗的太空服。 鲁比太太穿过的每一件costume都挂在壁橱里。 “这就是证据!”迈克尔说。 “那些人都是鲁比太太打扮的

up in costumes." "I told you so," said Andrea. "You did not!" I said. "Did too!" she said. "Oh, you think you know everything!" I said. "Well, you're not so smart!" That's when the light flicked on. It was Mrs. Roopy, standing in the doorway looking at us. "What's the meaning of this?" she asked.

穿上戏服。”“我告诉过你，”安德烈说。 “你没有!”我说。“我也是!”她说。 “哦，你以为你什么都知道!”我说。 “哎，你可没那么聪明!”这时灯亮了。 是鲁比太太，站在门口看着我们。 “这是什么意思?”她问。

She had her hands on her hips, so we knew she was mad. For some reason, grown-ups always put their hands on their hips when they are mad. "I had nothing to do with it!" Andrea said. "It was all A.J.'s idea!" Everybody was looking at me. I had to think fast. I didn't want to spend the rest of my life in jail. I grabbed George Washington's uniform out of the closet. "What's the meaning of... this?" I said, holding up the costume. "You told us you were home sick in bed and George Washington was here instead of you. How do you explain the fact that George

她双手叉腰，所以我们知道她疯了。 出于某种原因，大人们生气的时候总是把手放在屁股上。 “我跟这事一点关系都没有!”安德里亚说。 “都是A.J.干的的主意!”每个人都看着我。 我必须快速思考。我不想在监狱里度过余生。 我从壁橱里抓起乔治·华盛顿的制服。 “……是什么意思?”这个吗?”我举起戏服说。 “你告诉我们你生病在家躺在床上，乔治·华盛顿代替你来了。 你怎么解释乔治
