Chapter 13

Chapter 13 THE SHON MUST GO ON. DONT LET IT GO ON WITHOUT YOU! Po wanted to get back to the Minecraft as soon as possible. They all wanted that. But accidentally or not, Theo had done quite a bit of damage to the computers' central power strip. Harper promised to go directly to Doc with the problem. But even if Doc was able to fix it immediately, Po feared it would be days before they had time to return to the dungeon. He was right about that. The next few days were packed with preparation for The Phantasm of the Cafetorium.

第13章演出必须继续。 不要让它在没有你的情况下继续！阿宝想尽快回到我的世界。 他们都希望如此。但不管是不是偶然，西奥已经对电脑的中央电源板造成了相当大的破坏。 哈珀答应直接去找博士解决问题。 但即使博士能马上修好它，阿宝也担心他们要过几天才有时间回到地牢。 他是对的。接下来的几天都在忙着为《食堂的幻影》做准备。

By the afternoon of the show, Po had helped out with just about every part of the play. He'd finished painting sets with Jodi and making the Phantasm's cardboard gondola with Harper. (The finished product looked just like a Minecraft boat brought to life!) He'd also made sure that Morgan was ready for his acting debut. Ash had started calling Po her "unofficial assistant." It was a title Po embraced with pride. For one thing, it got him a little closer to the stage. For another, Po learned a lot by floating from one group to another. In the end, his "role" was to not have a role, and that suited him just fine.

到演出的下午，阿宝已经帮忙完成了演出的每一个部分。 他和乔迪一起刷完布景，和哈珀一起制作了“幻影”号的纸板吊篮。 （成品看起来就像《我的世界》中的船一样栩栩如生！）他还确保摩根为他的表演处女作做好了准备。 阿什开始称阿宝为她的“非官方助手”。 阿宝自豪地接受了这个头衔。 首先，这让他离舞台更近了一点。 另一方面，阿宝从一个群体游到另一个群体学到了很多东西。 最后，他的“角色”是没有角色，这很适合他。

In the last minutes before the curtain would go up, Ash gathered the cast and crew backstage. "I'm amazed at what we've accomplished," she told them. "We've built an entire world. And now we're going to dazzle the rest of the school with the story of the Phantasm." She smiled. "I'm about to make my final report to Ms. Minerva. I'll be so happy to tell her we've had no glitches, no unexpected complications—no problems at all." "Uh, Ash?" said Jodi as if on cue. "We've got a big problem." Ash gripped her clipboard so tightly that her

在开演前的最后几分钟，阿什把演员和工作人员召集到后台。 “我对我们取得的成就感到惊讶，”她告诉他们。 “我们已经建立了一个完整的世界。 现在我们要把幻影的故事讲得全校同学眼花缭乱了。” 她笑了。“我马上要给她做最后的报告了。 密涅瓦。我会很高兴地告诉她，我们没有出现小故障，没有意外的并发症——根本没有问题。” “呃，阿什？”乔迪仿佛猜到了。 “我们遇到了一个大问题。” 艾什紧紧地抓着她的写字板，以至于她

knuckles went white. "What is it?" she asked. "It's this guy," Jodi answered, pointing at Morgan. "What, Morgan?" said Po. "No way! He knows his lines, I'm sure of it." "Oh, he knows his lines," Jodi said, rolling her eyes. "But he's lost his voice." Morgan smiled sheepishly and shrugged as he moved his mouth. Only a faint whisper came out. "Sorry…." "We're doomed!" cried a student on the tech crew. "It's the curse of the Phantasm!" cried another. "Nobody panic!" said Ash, and she held out her

指关节变白了。“什么事？”她问。 “是这个人，”乔迪指着摩根回答。 “什么，摩根？”阿宝说。“不可能!他知道他的台词，我敢肯定。” “哦，他知道台词，”乔迪翻着白眼说。 “但是他失声了。” 摩根不好意思地笑了笑，嘴巴动了动，耸了耸肩。 只有微弱的耳语传出来。 “对不起……”“我们完蛋了！”技术组的一名学生喊道。 “这是幻影的诅咒！”另一个叫道。 “不要惊慌！”艾什说着，把她伸出手来

hands to calm them. "We…definitely have a plan B." She cast her eyes all around, clearly trying to form a plan B on the spot. Her wild eyes landed on Po. "It's Po!" she said. "Po is our plan B!" "Uh, I am?" said Po. "You know Morgan's dialogue," said Ash. "But who will run the lights?" Harper asked. "We're doomed!" said a student. Po had a flash of inspiration. "Doc can run the lights," he said. "Doc?" echoed Ash. "Isn't she banned from backstage?" "Yeah, she is," said Po. "But Doc knows how the equipment works, and she can follow directions. And look…" Po held up his script, marked up with all his notes. "Directions. They're all written down." "It seems like a good idea to me," said Jodi.

用手安抚他们。“我们……绝对有b计划。” 她扫视了一下四周，显然想马上想出一个B计划。 她狂野的目光落在了阿宝身上。 “是阿宝！”她说。“阿宝是我们的B计划！”“呃，我是吗？”阿宝说。 “你知道摩根的对白。”阿什说。 “但是谁来开灯呢？”哈珀问道。 “我们死定了！”一个学生说。 阿宝灵光一闪。 “医生可以开灯，”他说。 “医生？”阿什重复道。“她不是被禁止进入后台吗？”“是的，她是，”阿宝说。 “但是医生知道设备是如何工作的，她可以按照指示去做。 你看……”阿宝举起他的稿子，把他所有的笔记都做了记号。 ”方向。都写下来了。” “我觉得这是个好主意，”乔迪说。

"All right." Ash nodded. "I say yes. Harper, find Doc and bring her here. Jodi, let Ms. Minerva know about the change of plan. Morgan, get some soup! And, Po…?" "Yeah?" said Po. "Better get into costume," she said. "Baker Gunther, Monster Hunter, is due on stage in ten minutes!"

“好吧。”灰点了点头。“我说是的。 哈珀，去找医生，把她带来。 乔迪，告诉密涅瓦女士计划有变。 摩根，去喝点汤！阿宝……?”“是吗？”阿宝说。 “最好穿上戏服，”她说。 “怪物猎人贝克·冈瑟，十分钟后上台！”
