Chapter 11 MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT WORK. CLACKING THUMBS. MANY FEET TEND TO BE LESS USEFUL. The next day, Po spent his lunch period in the auditorium. Almost everybody did. There was a lot of work still to be done for the play, and there were only a few more days to do it all. Po started by double-checking that the spotlights were ready to go. He had all his lighting cues firmly committed to memory. And if he happened to forget anything, it was all clearly labeled in his script. He would make sure the spotlight always followed whichever actor was speaking. And he knew to use the blue-tinted lights

人多好办事。 发出咔嗒声拇指。多脚往往不太有用。 第二天，阿宝在礼堂里吃午饭。 几乎每个人都这么做了。这出戏还有许多工作要做，而且只有几天的时间来完成所有的工作。 阿宝一开始就反复检查聚光灯是否准备好了。 他牢牢记住了所有的照明线索。 如果他碰巧忘记了什么，他的剧本上都写得很清楚。 他会确保聚光灯总是跟着说话的演员。 他知道要用蓝色的灯

in the underground scenes, to make everything look a little spookier. But other people were scrambling to get their own work done. So Po figured he could help. Ash was grateful for the offer, and she handed him a big can of paint. "Can you please get this to Jodi's team?" she asked him. "Tell her that's the last of the fuchsia!" "I don't know what that word means," said Po. "But consider it done."

在地下的场景中，让一切看起来更诡异。 但其他人都在忙着完成自己的工作。 所以阿宝觉得他可以帮忙。 阿什很感激她的好意，她递给他一大罐油漆。 “你能把这个交给乔迪的团队吗？”她问他。 “告诉她，这是最后的紫红色了！”“我不知道这个词是什么意思，”阿宝说。 “但是就当它已经完成了。”

On his way backstage to find Jodi, he ran into Morgan. "Hey, Po, check it out!" Morgan said. He held up a croissant. It was angular, with pixelated edges. It looked just like a food item from Minecraft. "Mmm….Doesn't it look good enough to eat?" Po's stomach grumbled, and Morgan laughed. "I guess that answers my question," Morgan said. "But don't be fooled. This pastry is nothing but cardboard and markers." "It's impressive," Po said. "But since when are you on the props team?" "We fell a little behind schedule," Harper admitted. "We have to make three dozen of these

在去后台找乔迪的路上，他遇到了摩根。 “嘿，阿宝，快看！”摩根说。 他举起一个羊角面包。它棱角分明，边缘是像素化的。 它看起来就像《我的世界》里的食物。 “嗯…看起来还不够好吃吗？”阿宝的肚子咕咕叫，摩根笑了。 “我想这回答了我的问题，”摩根说。 “但是不要被愚弄了。这酥皮不过是纸板和马克笔而已。” “令人印象深刻，”阿宝说。 “但你什么时候加入道具组了？”“我们有点落后于计划，”哈珀承认。 “我们得做30打这样的东西

croissants, you know!" "And thanks to your help the other day, I finally have my lines memorized," Morgan said. "So I thought I'd pitch in." "Speaking of which…" Po pointed to the paint can in his lap. "I've got to make a delivery." He found Jodi without much trouble, but he was surprised to see her with Theo. The Phantasm himself had taken up a brush and offered to pitch in alongside the set team.

牛角面包，你知道的！”“感谢你那天的帮助，我终于记住了我的台词，”摩根说。 “所以我想我也来帮忙。” “说到这个……”阿宝指着他腿上的油漆罐。 “我得去送货。” 他没费多大劲就找到了乔迪，但看到她和西奥在一起，他很吃惊。 幻影本人也拿起了画笔，主动提出和布景团队一起工作。

"He's actually been a big help," Jodi

“他真的帮了我很大的忙，”乔迪说

whispered. "I should be nicer to him." Po strained to lift the heavy can of paint. "You want to be nice? Take this! It's the last can of focaccia. Or…fusilli? Something like that. And it's heavy!" "Those are foods, and this looks like paint, so I'm not sure what you're actually handing me right now." As she took the can from him, she looked all around. "Say, have you seen Doc today?" she asked. "I thought she was going to help…." "I'm pretty sure Ms. Minerva banned her," Po answered, "after she floated the idea of automated curtains." "Ms. Minerva had better be careful!" Jodi said. "Can't you just imagine Doc taking her revenge? What if she's the true Phantasm? What terrible vengeance might she pursue?"

小声说。“我应该对他好一点。” 阿宝吃力地举起沉重的油漆罐。 “你想做个好人？”把这个!这是最后一罐佛卡夏干酪了。 或者……意大利螺旋面?差不多就是这样。 而且它很重！”“那些是食物，而这个看起来像油漆，所以我不确定你现在递给我的是什么。” 当她从他手中接过罐头时，她环顾四周。 “喂，你今天见到医生了吗？”她问。 “我以为她会帮忙....” “我很确定密涅瓦女士禁止了她，”阿宝回答说，“在她提出自动窗帘的想法之后。” “密涅瓦女士最好小心点！”乔迪说。 “你不能想象医生会报复她吗？” 如果她是真正的幻影呢？ 她会有什么可怕的报复呢？”
