11. Why Is Lucky Laughing

Chapter 11 Why Is Lucky Laughing? "You're awesome, Pal!" Nate said. "Let's give these to Officer Fallon!" Ben said. "And get Lucky out of jail!" Ralphie added. "Wait a second," Bradley said. "Let me think." A minute passed. "He's thinking," Brian said. Nate giggled. "Something is wrong here," Bradley said finally. "Don't you guys wonder how the leprechauns got from Lucky's closet to this storage room?"

第十一章为什么幸运在笑？ “你太棒了，伙计！”内特说。 “把这些交给法伦警官吧！”本说。 “把幸运仔从监狱里救出来！”拉尔夫补充道。 “等一下，”布拉德利说。 “让我想想。”一分钟过去了。 “他在思考，”布莱恩说。 内特咯咯笑了。“这里有点不对劲，”布拉德利最后说。 “你们难道不好奇小矮妖是怎么从幸运仔的衣橱来到这个储藏室的吗？”

"Maybe one of the cops found them and stuck them in here," Ben said. "Found them where?" Ralphie said. "They never came inside to look in Lucky's closet." "Besides, if a cop found the leprechauns, he'd have told Officer Fallon," Bradley said. "And he would have returned our leprechaun to us." "And he wouldn't keep Lucky locked up," Ralphie said. "You're right, Bradley," Lucy said. "Something weird is going on." Just then they heard someone laugh. Bradley turned around. "That came from Officer Fallon's office," he said. Bradley thought for another minute. He tiptoed over to Officer Fallon's door. The others followed. Six pairs of ears listened at the door. "Your move, Officer Fallon," someone said on the other side of the door. "That's Lucky's voice!" Ben whispered.

“也许是某个警察发现了他们，把他们关在这里，”本说。 “在哪儿找到的？”拉尔夫说。 “他们从来没进过幸运仔的衣橱。” “此外，如果一个警察发现了小矮妖，他会告诉法伦警官的，”布拉德利说。 “他会把我们的小妖精还给我们的。” “而且他也不会把Lucky关起来，”Ralphie说。 “你说得对，布拉德利。”露茜说。 “发生了一些奇怪的事情。” 就在这时，他们听到有人笑了。 布拉德利转过身来。“那是法伦警官的办公室发来的，”他说。 布拉德利又想了一会儿。 他蹑手蹑脚地走到法伦警官的门前。 其他人跟在后面。门口有六双耳朵在听。 “轮到你了，法伦警官，”有人在门的另一边说。 “那是幸运的声音！”本低声说。

Very gently, Bradley turned the knob. He opened the door a few inches. Officer Fallon was sitting at his desk. Lucky sat opposite him. They were eating burgers and playing chess. Both had big smiles on their faces. I thought Lucky was in jail, Bradley said to himself. He heard Ralphie and Ben take in deep breaths. "How'd you happen to find the three leprechauns in your closet?" Officer Fallon asked Lucky. "My mom saw Ben and Ralphie come in with the leprechauns," Lucky said. "She heard them say they were going to blame me for it. So Mom and I decided to teach those two a lesson. That's why we brought the leprechauns here to you." Officer Fallon laughed. "Those poor kids," he said. "They think I really arrested you. When do you want to go back home?" "Mom says I should come back today," Lucky said. "I'll take the leprechauns with me and return

布拉德利轻轻地转动旋钮。 他把门打开了几英寸。 法伦警官正坐在办公桌前。 幸运坐在他对面。他们在吃汉堡和下棋。 两人脸上都挂着灿烂的笑容。 我以为幸运仔进监狱了，布拉德利自言自语道。 他听见拉尔菲和本深深地吸了口气。 “你是怎么在衣橱里找到那三个小矮妖的？”法伦警官问Lucky。 “我妈妈看到本和拉尔菲带着小矮妖进来，”拉奇说。 “她听到他们说要把这事怪到我头上。 所以妈妈和我决定给他们俩上一课。 这就是为什么我们把小矮妖带到这里来。” 法伦警官笑了。“那些可怜的孩子，”他说。 “他们以为我真的逮捕了你。 你想什么时候回家？”“妈妈说我今天应该回来，”Lucky说。 “我要带着小矮妖回去

them." He moved a chess piece. "But first I have to beat you at this game!" The kids backed away from the office door. "Did you hear that?" Ben asked. "Lucky and Officer Fallon are playing a trick on us! Lucky's not in jail at all!" "And our mom knew about it, too!" Ralphie said. Then he and Ben looked at each other. "I guess we deserved this," Ben said. "We started the whole thing." "So what do we do now?" Ralphie asked. "I have an idea," Nate said.

他们。”他移动了一个棋子。 “但首先我得在这个游戏中打败你！”孩子们从办公室门口退了回去。 “你听到了吗？”本问。 “拉吉和法伦警官在捉弄我们！”幸运仔根本没进监狱！”“我们的妈妈也知道这件事！”拉尔夫说。 然后他和本面面相觑。 “我想这是我们活该，”本说。 “这一切都是我们开始的。” “那我们现在该怎么办？”拉尔夫问道。 “我有个主意，”内特说。
