11 A Blowout

CHAPTER 11 A BLOWOUT WIDER. AHHH... OPEN UP. Our hopes are riding on Freddy, who can now get twen- ty-nine pieces of bubble gum into his mouth. Eric and I keep shoving it in until his cheeks are puffed out like softballs.

第11章：井喷扩大。 啊…开放。我们的希望寄托在弗雷迪身上，他现在可以把二十九颗泡泡糖塞进嘴里。 埃里克和我一直往里塞，直到他的脸颊像垒球一样鼓起来。

When he tries to blow, Freddy just starts turning an odd shade of blue and we have to rush him to Miss Hearse, who does an emergency extraction with pliers. Derek's team wins the event, and our whole team is blue. STAY BACK. GIVE HIM SOME AIR. MY HAND IS STUCK! NURSE, WILL HE BE OK? HE'LL BE FINE.

当他试图吹气的时候，弗雷迪的脸开始变成奇怪的蓝色，我们不得不赶紧把他送到Hearse小姐那里，她用钳子紧急拔牙。 德里克的队赢得了比赛，我们整个队都是蓝色的。 待回来。让他透透气。 我的手卡住了！护士，他没事吧？ 他会没事的。

But we rally and take the Cake Walk. EASY! THAT WAS CLOSE. DON'T STEP ON THE CAKES. It's tied again! Now it's all riding on the last event—the Tug- of-War. Can we pull it off? Freddy, who still is a shade of aqua, is our anchor. The Tigers' anchor is Doris. She looks pretty tough. We line up on the rope and spit on our hands. We're off. WALK. DON'T RUN.

但我们团结起来，走蛋糕路。 简单!好险啊。不要踩到蛋糕。 又打平了！现在一切都取决于最后一个项目——拔河。 我们能成功吗？弗雷迪，他仍然是水的阴影，是我们的锚。 老虎队的主播是多丽丝。 她看起来很坚强。我们站在绳子上，吐唾沫在手上。 我们了。走路。不运行。

We huff and puff. We tug and chug. We yank and crank. We heave and haul, but nobody's budging at all-not even an inch! MY HANDS ARE BURNING! DON'T QUIT! PULL!

我们气喘吁吁。我们又拉又轧。 我们猛拉和曲柄。我们拉呀拉呀，可是谁也不动——一动也不动！我的手在燃烧！别放弃!拉!

After fifteen minutes of major exertion, Coach Kong blows his whistle, and he declares the field day a tie. We let go of the rope and all fall down laughing and rolling around. Everyone's beat, but a winner! PULL HARDER! DON'T STOP! MY ARMS HURT! YOU CAN DO IT!

经过15分钟的艰苦努力，孔教练吹响哨子，宣布比赛打成平局。 我们放开绳子，都笑着滚了下来。 每个人都被打败了，但你是赢家！把困难!不要停止!我的胳膊好痛！你能做到的！
