8 A secret room

Chapter 8 A secret room "I'd forgotten how big the house is," said Adam gloomily, when they arrived back, ready to start searching.

“我都忘了这房子有多大了。”当他们回来准备开始搜寻的时候，亚当闷闷不乐地说。

"Wait a minute," cried Sally. "There's a blocked-out window next to our room. Perhaps there's another room up there. They sprinted up the stairs and searched along the corridor. There must be a door here somewhere... A muffled cough made Adam pause. He turned around and saw a black figure scurrying away.

“等一下，”莎莉叫道。 “我们的房间旁边有一扇被封住的窗户。 也许楼上还有一个房间。 他们冲上楼梯，沿着走廊搜寻。 这里一定有扇门…… 一阵低沉的咳嗽使亚当停了下来。 他转过身来，看见一个黑影匆匆离去。

Sally was busy examining an old oak cabinet. "Help me shift this," she called to Adam. Ow... that's my foot! Eventually, they moved the heavy cabinet away from the wall. There, behind it, was a secret door.

莎莉正忙着检查一个旧橡木橱柜。 “帮我搬一下这个，”她对亚当喊道。 噢…那是我的脚！最后，他们把沉重的柜子从墙上移开。 在它后面，有一扇暗门。

With trembling hands, Sally turned the door knob. Very slowly, the stiff door groaned open. "Wow!" exclaimed Adam. It was like stepping into a weird museum. The room was crammed full of amazing objects. Adam and Sally were about to explore when they felt an icy wind. The Midnight ghosts had arrived...

莎莉用颤抖的双手转动门把手。 那扇僵硬的门慢慢地“吱”一声打开了。 “哇！”亚当叫道。就像走进了一个奇怪的博物馆。 房间里塞满了令人惊奇的物品。 亚当和莎莉正要去探险时，他们感到一阵刺骨的寒风。 午夜幽灵来了……

Suddenly, a heavy book flew off the bookcase. CLUNK! Then an ancient radio crackled into life. Read fast before it's too late. Adam and Sally grabbed the book and raced out of the room... straight into Max. Hi! I've got great plans for today.

突然，一本很重的书从书架上飞了下来。 呯!接着，一台古老的收音机噼里啪啦地响了起来。 趁还来得及，快读吧。 亚当和莎莉抓起书跑出了房间。 直接去找麦克斯。嗨！我今天有很棒的计划。

For the rest of the day, Max kept his cousins very busy. We must get away. Isn't this fun! We have to read the book. Fa la la. Faldi-ladi-da. After sitting through dinner- and Max's singing -Adam and Sally finally managed to escape.

那天剩下的时间里，马克斯让他的表兄弟们忙得不可开交。 我们必须离开这里。这不是很有趣吗？我们必须读这本书。 啦啦啦。Faldi-ladi-da。坐着吃完晚饭——听着麦克斯的歌声——亚当和莎莉终于设法逃走了。
