Chapter 30

CHAPTER 30 Amy dived under Olivia Cahill's table. "Dan! Over here!" she screamed. "Hamilton!" The lights snapped off, plunging the room into total darkness. Now Amy could only hear the falling rocks, not see them. This was worse. "Dan! Dan! Dan!" she screamed. She could hear Dan and Hamilton calling out to her, Ian and Natalie calling out to each other. "Everyone under the table!" Amy called out to all of them. "It's the safest place!" Then she heard something hit hard on the table above her. The table leg she was clutching cracked. What if no place was safe? Dan grabbed Hamilton's arm and took off running toward his sister's voice.

艾米钻到奥利维亚·卡希尔的桌子底下。 “丹!过来！”她尖叫道。 “汉密尔顿!”灯啪的一声灭了，房间顿时一片漆黑。 现在艾米只能听到石头落下的声音，却看不见。 这次更糟。“丹!丹!丹！”她尖叫道。 她能听到丹和汉密尔顿在呼唤她，伊恩和娜塔莉在互相呼唤。 “大家都到桌子底下去！”艾米大声叫着他们所有人。 “那是最安全的地方！”然后她听到有什么东西重重地砸在她上面的桌子上。 她抓着的桌腿断了。 如果没有地方是安全的呢？ 丹抓住汉密尔顿的胳膊，朝他妹妹的声音跑去。

"This way!" he screamed. The falling rocks cracked and exploded around them, throwing up rock dust. Dan couldn't breathe. "Go on without—" He tried to scream. Hamilton didn't listen. Hamilton lifted him up and carried him. "It's her!" Natalie screamed hysterically. "It's her!" "Just run!" Ian screamed back to his sister. He heard Amy calling out something about a safe place. He started running toward her voice. Alistair staggered and fell, his cane knocked out of his hand. He checked quickly to make sure none of the secret compartments in the cane had sprung open, nothing had spilled out. But he was disoriented— it felt like the rocky ground had jumped up and hit him. And was still hitting him. Maybe that was because the air was full of rocks, too.

“这边！”他尖叫道。落下的岩石在他们周围裂开爆炸，扬起岩石尘埃。 丹无法呼吸。“别——”他试图尖叫。 汉密尔顿不听。汉密尔顿把他举起来，背着他。 “是她!”娜塔莉歇斯底里地尖叫起来。 “是她!”“快跑!”伊恩尖叫着对妹妹说。 他听到艾米在喊什么安全的地方。 他开始朝她的声音跑去。 阿利斯泰尔踉跄着跌倒了，他的手杖被打掉了。 他迅速检查了一下，确保手杖上的秘密隔间没有突然打开，没有任何东西洒出来。 但他迷失了方向——感觉就像岩石地面跳起来砸向了他。 还在打他。 也许那是因为空气中也充满了岩石。

"Can't," he murmured. "Can't move." He'd faked his own death in a cave-in back in Korea, tricking Amy and Dan and Bae. Was this fate's way of laughing at him? Could he die in a cave-in for real, so close to the final prize? "Can't… die… now," he whispered. "Oh, no," a voice said above him. Hands started tugging on his shoulders, pulling him away from the rocks. "I'm not going to let you die." It was Sinead. Now a new word formed on Alistair's lips: Why? Why would anyone save him? Jonah was alone, ahead of everyone else. When the world began to collapse around him, he could hear the others calling out names: "Dan!" "Amy!" "Hamilton!" "Ian!" No one called out for him. A rock hit his shoulder, knocking him down. Hundreds of thousands of people call out my name every night, he told himself. "Jonah! Jonah!

“不行，”他喃喃地说。“不能动。” 他在韩国的一次塌方中伪造了自己的死亡，骗过了艾米，丹和裴。 这是命运在嘲笑他吗？ 他真的会在离最终大奖这么近的时候死于塌方吗？ “现在……不能……死。”他低声说。 “哦，不，”一个声音在他头顶上说。 双手开始拉着他的肩膀，把他从岩石上拉开。 “我不会让你死的” 是辛尼德。现在，一个新词出现在阿利斯泰尔的嘴边：为什么？ 为什么会有人救他？ 约拿独自一人，走在所有人的前面。 当他周围的世界开始崩塌时，他能听到其他人在喊名字：“丹！”“艾米!”“汉密尔顿!”“伊恩!”没有人喊他。 一块石头击中了他的肩膀，把他打倒在地。 每天晚上都有成千上万的人喊我的名字，他告诉自己。 “约拿!约拿!

JONAH!" He could hear the rhythm of his fans' screams in the rocks hitting the ground around him. Another rock hit his leg, pinning him to the ground. I'm one of the biggest stars in the world, he told himself. More rocks fell down on him. And… I'm going to die in a place where nobody cares.

约拿!”他能听到他的粉丝在岩石撞击地面时发出的尖叫声。 又一块石头击中了他的腿，把他按倒在地。 我是世界上最大的明星之一，他告诉自己。 更多的石头落在他身上。 我会死在一个没人在乎的地方。
