6 The Curious Case of Miss Gorgon

The Curious Case of MISS GORGON THE HEADMASTER had been turned to stone! Arthur was so shocked by what he discovered deep in the cellar of BASKETBALL SCHOOL that he dropped his torch. CLANK!

戈更小姐的奇事校长已经变成了石头！阿瑟被他在篮球学校地下室深处发现的东西震惊了，他扔掉了手电筒。 叮当作响!

His hand shaking with fear, he picked up the torch and shone it at poor Mr Dust. The much-loved headmaster looked like a STATUE of himself. But it was not like any STATUE Arthur had ever seen before. Mr Dust's stone eyes were wide with terror and his mouth agape in what looked like a silent scream. A scream that would be unheard for all eternity! Just as Arthur took out his magnifying glass to examine the surface of the STATUE for clues, he heard a noise in the darkness, and fled.

他的手吓得发抖，拿起火把照着可怜的尘埃先生。 这位深受爱戴的校长看上去像自己的雕像。 但它和阿瑟以前见过的任何雕像都不一样。 尘埃先生的石头眼睛因恐惧而睁得大大的，嘴巴张得大大的，像是在无声地尖叫。 一声永远听不见的尖叫！就在阿瑟拿出放大镜观察雕像表面寻找线索时，他听到黑暗中有声音，赶紧逃走了。

Arthur was the school detective. Although only twelve, he had read every Sherlock Holmes book in the library a hundred times. In honour of his hero, the genius detective, he even sported a deerstalker hat and a tweed cape. This, and his incredibly thick-lensed glasses, made him stand out at BASKERVILLE SCHOOL. Arthur delighted in this. He liked being special! Even if the bullies called him cruel names like MR GOOGLE. Something you should never, ever do. Arthur's school bag was an old-fashioned leather case, packed full of all the things a detective needs: Magnifying glass Binoculars Pencil Notepad Mirror for seeing round corners Gloves for handling evidence Fake eyebrows, nose and moustache for disguise Flask of hot tea

阿瑟是学校的侦探。 虽然只有十二岁，他已经把图书馆里所有的夏洛克·福尔摩斯的书都读了一百遍。 为了纪念他的英雄——天才侦探，他甚至戴了一顶猎鹿帽，披了一件花呢斗篷。 这一点，再加上他那副难以置信的厚镜片眼镜，使他在巴斯克维尔学校里显得很突出。 阿瑟对此很高兴。他喜欢与众不同！即使那些恶霸叫他残忍的名字，比如b谷歌先生。 你永远不应该做的事。 阿瑟的书包是一个老式的皮箱，里面装满了侦探需要的一切东西：放大镜双筒望远镜铅笔记事本看圆角用的镜子处理证据用的手套伪装用的假眉毛、假鼻子和假胡子一瓶热茶

The boy had single-handedly solved many of BASKETBALL SCHOOL'S mysteries over the years. The school was a vast Gothic building where legends lurked in every shadow. Arthur recorded all his cases in his detective's notebook. One day he hoped they would be published, just like Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes books. There was: THE CASE OF THE Missing Blancmange The dinner lady scoffed the lot. SOLVED The CURSE of the Lost Property Cupboard Why did every item of PE kit that was left in there turn a putrid shade of green? Mould, of course. SOLVED

多年来，这个男孩单枪匹马地解决了篮球学校的许多谜团。 这所学校是一座巨大的哥特式建筑，每一个阴影都潜藏着传奇。 阿瑟在他的侦探笔记本上记录了他所有的案件。 他希望有一天这些书能出版，就像阿瑟·柯南·道尔爵士的福尔摩斯系列小说一样。 有：“丢失的牛奶奶瓶案”。吃晚饭的女人嘲笑了一大堆人。 解开了失物招领柜的诅咒为什么留在那里的每一件体育用品都变成了一种腐烂的绿色？ 当然是霉菌。解决了

Death in DETENTION Not a death exactly, but a little boy passed out when one of the bigger boys did a silent but deadly bottom banger that was silent but DEADLY in the airless classroom. take SOLVED The SECRET of the Science Laboratory The laboratory technician had been working on a potion from all the chemicals in the cupboard to make herself invisible. She believed it was a complete success, which is presumably why she could be spotted dancing around the laboratory holding beakers and going "WOOH!" SOLVED

确切地说不是死亡，而是一个大一点的男孩做了一个无声但致命的底摔，一个小男孩昏倒了，这个底摔在没有空气的教室里无声但致命。 这个实验室的技术员一直在用橱柜里所有的化学药品配制一种能使自己隐形的药剂。 她认为这是一次彻底的成功，这大概就是为什么她会被发现在实验室里拿着烧杯跳舞，并发出“哇！”解决了
