8 Ch8-Spying on a Spy

Chapter 8 Spying on a Spy We decided the only way to find out if Mrs. Cooney was really a spy would be to spy on her. So we watched her like a hawk the whole next day. Andrea listened to Mrs. Cooney's conversations whenever she talked with the teachers. Me and Ryan

我们决定，要查清库尼太太是否真的是个间谍，唯一的办法就是暗中监视她。 所以第二天一整天我们都像老鹰一样盯着她。 每当库尼太太和老师们谈话时，安德里亚就听她说话。 我和瑞恩

snuck in the nurse's office during recess. Emily pretended to be sick so she could gather more information. Finally, when school let out at three o'clock, we got together at the monkey bars in the playground to compare notes. "There's a cabinet in the nurse's office that's locked at all times," Emily said, "and I saw the word 'poison' on a bottle inside!" "Poison!" Michael said. "Spies are always poisoning people!" "And she took my temperature with that weird thing she sticks in your ear," said Emily. "How do we know that thing is really a

在休息时溜进护士办公室。 艾米丽假装生病，以便收集更多的信息。 最后，当学校三点钟放学时，我们聚在操场的猴子架上交换意见。 “护士办公室里有个柜子，一直锁着，”艾米丽说，“我看到里面有个瓶子上写着‘毒药’!”“毒!”迈克尔说。 “间谍总是毒害人!”“她还用塞在你耳朵里的那个奇怪的东西给我量体温，”艾米丽说。 “我们怎么知道那东西真的是

test our eyesight and hearing every year. Maybe she really uses them to transmit secret coded messages." "What about that tape measure thing she's got?" I asked. "The one where she pushes a button and the whole tape goes flying into her hand. That thing is cool." "Mrs. Cooney is always weighing and measuring things," Emily said. "She's obsessed," said Andrea. "She's constantly gathering information about us and writing it all down." "Like a spy," Michael added. "You know, when I was in her office today," Emily said, "she told me she isn't allowed to give kids medicine."

每年检查我们的视力和听力。 也许她真的用它们来传递秘密的编码信息。” “那她带的那个卷尺呢?”我问。 “就是她按下按钮，整盘磁带就飞到她手里。 那东西很酷。”“夫人。 库尼总是在权衡和衡量事情，”艾米丽说。 “她被迷住了，”安德烈说。 “她一直在收集我们的信息，并把它们都写下来。” “像个间谍。”迈克尔补充道。 “你知道吗，今天我去她办公室的时候，”艾米丽说，“她告诉我，她不允许给孩子吃药。”

"That's true," Michael said. "She'll give you a cough drop or some crackers. That's it." "Once she had me gargle with salt water," Ryan said. "A lot of good that did." "Or she'll put a bag of frozen vegetables on your head," said Michael. "What kind of nurse can't give medicine?" Emily asked. "A fake one," Michael said. "A spy nurse." "This morning I saw her standing in the hallway," Andrea said, "and she was whispering into the phone." "She was probably passing secrets to that bad guy who wants to take over the

“没错，”迈克尔说。 “她会给你一片止咳药或一些饼干。 就是这样。”“有一次她让我用盐水漱口，”瑞恩说。 “有很多好处。”“不然她会在你头上套上一袋冷冻蔬菜，”迈克尔说。 “什么样的护士不会给药?”艾米丽问。 “一个假的，”迈克尔说。 “一个间谍护士。”“今天早上我看见她站在走廊里，”安德里亚说，“她对着电话低声说话。” “她可能是在给那个想要接管

瑞安说。对库尼夫人不利的证据越来越多了。 也许她真的是个间谍!“我们必须做点什么!”艾米丽说。
