Chapter 6

Chapter 6 THE BEST PLANS INVOLVE GHOSTS! WHICH IS IRONIC, BECAUSE GHOSTS AREN'T BIG PLANNERS. The next day, Harper got to school early. At her request, so did Jodi, Morgan, and Po. Harper was a problem solver. After all, she loved math and science, and most of the time, problem solving was what math and science were all about. There was almost always an answer, a solution. You just had to use the right skills to find it. That was why she was struggling so much with the news that Ash was moving. If there was a solution to this problem, she couldn't see it. And she wasn't the only one struggling.

第六章最好的计划都有鬼魂参与！这很讽刺，因为鬼魂并不是大策划者。 第二天，哈珀很早就到了学校。 在她的要求下，乔迪、摩根和阿宝也去了。 哈珀是一个解决问题的人。 毕竟，她喜欢数学和科学，而大多数时候，解决问题就是数学和科学的全部内容。 几乎总有一个答案，一个解决方案。 你只需要使用正确的技能去找到它。 这就是为什么听到阿什要搬家的消息时，她如此挣扎。 就算有办法解决这个问题，她也看不出来。 她并不是唯一一个苦苦挣扎的人。

Morgan felt the same way. Their team had overcome every challenge it had faced, and Ash's problem should be one more challenge they could overcome. PO was struggling because he normally laughed in the face of danger. But he couldn't find the humor in this situation. Jodi seemed to be in denial. She seemed certain that Ash would be in their lives forever. So, early in the morning, the four of them gathered beneath a great oak tree in the schoolyard. They wanted to discuss their problem. They wanted to solve their problem. "What has everyone come up with?" Harper asked. "Okay, get this," Po said. "We already put on a great play. What if we did it again? What if we put on a play that was so convincing…we got everyone to believe that Ash's house is haunted?!" Harper scrunched her eyebrows. "I don't understand how that would help. Wouldn't that make her parents want to move even

摩根也有同感。他们的团队已经克服了面临的每一个挑战，而阿什的问题应该是他们可以克服的又一个挑战。 波在挣扎，因为他通常在危险面前笑。 但他在这种情况下找不到幽默。 乔迪似乎在否认。 她似乎确信阿什会永远留在他们的生活中。 于是，一大早，他们四个人就聚集在校园里的一棵大橡树下。 他们想讨论他们的问题。 他们想要解决他们的问题。 “大家都想到了什么？”哈珀问道。 “好吧，听着，”阿宝说。 “我们已经上演了一出伟大的戏剧。 如果我们再来一次呢？如果我们演一出非常有说服力的戏，让所有人都相信阿什的房子闹鬼呢？！”哈珀皱起眉毛。 “我不明白这有什么用。 这难道不会让她父母想搬家吗

more?" Po gasped. "And leave the poor ghosts behind? Ghosts are the best! Who wouldn't want to live in a haunted house?"

更多?”气喘吁吁地说。“把那些可怜的鬼魂抛在身后？” 鬼是最好的！谁不想住在闹鬼的房子里呢？”

Harper raised her hand, and so did everyone but Po. "Well, I like ghosts…," he grumbled,

哈珀举起了手，除了阿宝，每个人都举起了手。 “嗯，我喜欢鬼……”他嘟囔着，

crossing his arms. "I'm thinking about something a little more down-to-earth," said Morgan. "They can't move if they're not able to sell their house. Right?" Harper thought about it. "I suppose you're right." "Okay, so, what if we convince everyone that their house has termites? No one would buy it then!" Harper tapped her chin. "I think the only way that would work is if we actually put termites in Ash's house. And I can't imagine anyone would be very happy about that…." "Maybe we can involve the Wildling Scouts somehow?" Jodi asked. "Ash has more merit badges than any of the other scouts, and I know they all look up to her. What if Ash's troop named her Queen for Life?"

交叉双臂。“我在考虑一些更接地气的东西，”摩根说。 “如果房子卖不出去，他们就不能搬家。 对吗?”哈珀想了想。 “我想你是对的。”“好吧，如果我们让每个人都相信他们的房子里有白蚁呢？” 那就没人买了！”哈珀拍了拍她的下巴。 “我认为唯一可行的方法就是我们把白蚁放在阿什的房子里。 我无法想象有人会对此感到高兴....” “也许我们可以让野人侦察兵参与进来？”乔迪•问道。 “阿什比其他童子军获得的奖章都多，我知道他们都很尊敬她。 如果艾什的军队封她为终身女王呢？”

"I was thinking we could rope in Baron Sweetcheeks," said Harper. "He loves Ash's big playground set. What if we tell them that moving away will cause our class hamster to sink into a deep depression?" "It won't work," said a voice. They all turned around and saw Ash peek out from behind the tree. "Ash!" said Po. "How long have you been standing there? I could have used your vote a few minutes ago…." "I heard most of it," Ash said. "And everything you said made me happy…and sad…." She looked at each of them in turn. "My mom's job isn't giving her a choice. There's nothing any of us can do to change that. Believe me, I know." She took a deep breath. "But it means the world that you wish that you could fix this. I've never had friends

“我想我们可以把甜颊男爵拉进来。” “他喜欢阿什的大操场布景。 如果我们告诉他们搬家会让我们班的仓鼠陷入深深的抑郁呢？”“没用的，”一个声音说。 他们都转过身来，看见阿什从树后往外偷看。 “阿什！”阿宝说。“你在那儿站了多久了？” 几分钟前我就可以利用你的投票了....” “大部分我都听到了，”阿什说。 “你说的每句话都让我开心……又让我伤心....” 她依次看了看他们每个人。 “我妈妈的工作没有给她选择的余地。 我们任何人都无法改变这一点。 相信我，我知道。”她深吸了一口气。 “但这意味着你希望你能解决这个问题。 我从来没有朋友
