5 Ch5-The Secret of the Teachers' Lounge

Chapter 5 The Secret of the Teachers' Lounge We were out in the playground during recess. Me and Ryan and Michael all agreed that Ms. Hannah was weird. I mean, saving all that garbage is good for the environment and all, but it's kind of weird, too. She doesn't have enough garbage of her own. She has to go get

第五章教师休息室的秘密课间休息时，我们在操场上。 我、瑞安和迈克尔都认为。 汉娜很奇怪。我的意思是，保存所有的垃圾对环境有好处，但这也有点奇怪。 她自己的垃圾还不够多。 她得去拿

other people's garbage. "She's not an art teacher," I said. "She's a garbage collector." "I still say our real art teacher was kidnapped?" Ryan said. "She's probably tied up to a chair in the teachers' lounge." The teachers' lounge is on the second floor of our school. Ryan said he thought it was in a room over the playground. We looked up at the windows and found the one that was probably the teachers' lounge. "Our real art teacher could be in there right now," Ryan said, "tied up to a chair and being tortured!" "Too bad we're too short to see inside," Michael said.

别人的垃圾。“她不是美术老师，”我说。 “她是个收垃圾的。” “我还是要说我们真正的美术老师是被小孩绑架的?”瑞恩说。 “她可能被绑在教师休息室的椅子上了。” 教师休息室在我们学校的二楼。 瑞恩说他以为是在操场上的一个房间里。 我们抬头看了看窗户，发现那扇可能是教师休息室。 “我们真正的美术老师现在可能就在里面，”瑞恩说，“被绑在椅子上，被折磨!”“可惜我们太矮了，看不到里面，”迈克尔说。

That's when I came up with the most genius idea in the history of the world. I told Ryan and Michael that we might be able to see inside the window to the teachers' lounge if we stood on top of each other. Michael got down on his hands and knees below the window. Ryan climbed up on top of him and hunched down. I climbed up on top of Ryan and stood on his shoulders. "Can you see anything, A.J.?" Michael grunted. "Not yet." I could almost see into the window. I grabbed hold of the ledge on the window to pull myself up better.

就在那时，我想出了世界历史上最天才的主意。 我告诉瑞安和迈克尔，如果我们站在一起，也许可以看到教师休息室的窗户里面。 迈克尔趴在窗户下面。 瑞安爬到他身上，弯下腰。 我爬到瑞安身上，站在他的肩膀上。 “你能看见什么吗，A.J.?”迈克尔哼了一声。 “还没有。”我几乎可以看到窗外。 我抓住窗台，好把自己拉上去。

"Hurry up!" Michael said. "My back is going to break!" That's when I saw them. The teachers! I saw Miss Daisy and Mrs. Roopy and a few of the other teachers. I was looking right into the teachers' top-secret lounge! "I see them!" I shouted. "What are they doing?" Ryan asked, all excited. "Not much," I said. "Is anybody tied up to a chair?" Michael asked. "No." "Are they dancing around with each other?" Ryan asked. "No." "Are they playing Pin the Tail on the

“快点!”迈克尔说。“我的背要断了!”就在那时我看到了他们。 老师们!我看到了黛西小姐、鲁比太太和其他几位老师。 我正看着老师们的绝密休息室!“我看见他们了!”我叫道。 “他们在干什么?”瑞安问，非常兴奋。 “没什么，”我说。“有人被绑在椅子上吗?”迈克尔问道。 “没有。”“他们在一起跳舞吗?”瑞恩问道。 “没有。”“他们在玩钉尾巴游戏吗?

Donkey?" Michael asked. "No," I said. "They're just sitting there... eating lunch." "That's it?" Ryan said. "Wait!" I told them. "Mrs. Roopy is getting something out of the closet!" "Is it a BB gun?" Michael asked. "No, it's a paper bag," I said. "It must be her lunch." "This is boring," Ryan said. "One more minute," I said "My back is breaking!" Michael hollered. I don't know exactly what happened next, but all I knew was that Ryan and Michael weren't holding me up anymore. Nothing was holding me up anymore.

驴?”迈克尔问道。“不，”我说。 “他们只是坐在那里…… 吃午饭。”“就这样?”瑞恩说。 “等等!”我告诉了他们。“夫人。 鲁比正在从壁橱里拿东西呢!”“是BB枪吗?”迈克尔问道。 “不，是一个纸袋，”我说。 “这一定是她的午餐。”“这太无聊了，”瑞恩说。 “再等一分钟，”我说，“我的背要断了!”迈克尔大声喊道。 我不知道接下来发生了什么，但我只知道瑞安和迈克尔不再阻碍我了。 没有什么能再阻碍我了。
