32 Chapter 32

Chapter 32 "Okay, Sierra," said Kyle, "your turn." Sierra flicked the spinner. The pointy tip ended up in the yellow 200s zone, so she went ahead and pulled a yellow card. "It's definitely for the two hundreds section," she said, showing her clue to Miguel before revealing it to Kyle and Akimi. "Weird," said Miguel. "What?" said Akimi before Kyle could. "Well, the two hundreds are where they keep books on world religions."

“好了，塞拉，”凯尔说，“轮到你了。” 塞拉轻弹旋转器。 这个尖头球最终落在了黄牌区，所以她继续出示了一张黄牌。 “这肯定是为200人准备的，”她说，在给凯尔和阿基米看之前，先给米格尔看了她的线索。 “真奇怪，”米格尔说。“什么?”明美抢在凯尔之前说。 “嗯，200是他们保存世界宗教书籍的地方。”

"But there are two numbers on this card," said Sierra. "Maybe this time we need to find two books?" suggested Kyle. "I don't know," said Sierra, studying her card. " '220.5203' is obviously a call number." "Obviously," said Akimi. "But this other number isn't in the proper format. 'Two-twenty-fifteen.' " "February twentieth, 2015!" said Akimi. "Quick —what happened on that date?" "Um, nobody knows," said Kyle. "Because it hasn't happened yet." "Oh. Right. Okay—how about February twentieth, 1915?" "That was the opening day of the Panama- Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco," said Sierra. Jaws dropped. "Sorry. I'm a big world's fair fan." Everybody else just nodded. Finally, Miguel spoke up. "Look, let's just go down to the two hundreds room and find

“但是这张卡上有两个数字，”塞拉说。 “也许这次我们需要找两本书?”凯尔建议道。 “我不知道，”西拉边看她的名片边说。 “‘220.5203’显然是一个电话号码。” “显然，”明美说。“但这个数字的格式不合适。 二万二千零一十五年。“2015年2月20日!”明美说。 “快说——那天发生了什么事?”“嗯，没人知道，”凯尔说。 “因为它还没有发生。” “哦。正确的。好吧——1915年2月20日怎么样?”塞拉说:“那是巴拿马-太平洋国际博览会在旧金山开幕的第一天。 下巴都要掉下来了。“对不起。我是世界博览会的超级粉丝。” 其他人只是点了点头。 米格尔终于开口了。“听着，我们去两百人的房间找找

220.5203. We can figure out the second chunk later." The team once again trooped down to the second floor and worked their way around the circular balcony. "You guys?" said Sierra, looking across the atrium at the statues. "Remember how they switched all the hologram authors when Bridgette Wadge did her Extreme Challenge?" "Yep," said Kyle. "She was doing good till she got to the Russian dude." "What Russian dude?" asked Miguel, who hadn't witnessed Bridgette's elimination. "Guy who wrote five or six books Sierra could tell you about." "But look," said Sierra. "Now all the author statues are the same ones they were last night." "So," said Kyle thoughtfully, "if they can switch 'em around…" "These must be clues for our game!" blurted Akimi. She pulled out a pen and her notepad. "I'll write down their names." "Start with the guy under the triple zeros wedge of the Wonder Dome," suggested Kyle.

220.5203. 我们可以稍后再算出第二大块。” 队员们再次列队下到二楼，绕着圆形阳台走了一圈。 “你们呢?”西拉看着中庭对面的雕像说。 “还记得布里奇特·沃奇做极限挑战时，他们是怎么换全息图作者的吗?”“是的，”凯尔说。 “在遇到那个俄罗斯人之前，她一直很好。” “哪个俄罗斯家伙?”米格尔问道，他没有目睹布里奇特被淘汰。 “一个写了五六本书的人，塞拉可以告诉你。” “但是你看，”西拉说。“现在所有的作者雕像都和昨晚一样了。” “那么，”凯尔若有所思地说，“如果他们能把它们调换一下……”“这些一定是我们游戏的线索!”明美脱口而出。 她拿出一支笔和记事本。 “我把他们的名字写下来。” “从神奇巨蛋的三零楔下的那个家伙开始，”凯尔建议道。

"Right." Akimi read the labeled pedestals and jotted down all the authors' names: Thomas Wolfe, Booker T. Washington, Stephen Sondheim, George Orwell, Lewis Carroll, Dr. Seuss, Maya Angelou, Shel Silverstein, Pseudonymous Bosch, Todd Strasser. "So," said Akimi when she'd finished writing, "do you think this game could get any more complicated?" "Maybe," said Kyle. "It's possible that Mr. Lemoncello left a couple different paths to the same solution." "Well, personally, I can only take one path at a time," said Akimi. "So let's go find two-twentypoint- whatever." "Should be in the next row of bookcases," said Miguel. "Here we go. 220.5203. The King James Bible."

“对的。”Akimi看了看贴有标签的底座，记下了所有作者的名字:托马斯·沃尔夫(Thomas Wolfe)、布克·T。 华盛顿、斯蒂芬·桑德海姆、乔治·奥威尔、刘易斯·卡罗尔博士。 苏斯，玛雅·安杰洛，谢尔·西尔弗斯坦，化名博斯，托德·斯特拉瑟。 “那么，”明美写完后说，“你觉得这个游戏还能变得更复杂吗?”“也许吧，”凯尔说。 “莱蒙切罗可能给同一个解决方案留下了两条不同的路径。” “就我个人而言，我一次只能走一条路，”Akimi说。 “那我们去找22点吧——随便吧。” “应该在书架的下一排，”米格尔说。 “我们开始吧。220.5203. 钦定版《圣经》。”

"Ach der lieber! An excellent choice," said a man with a thick German accent. The four teammates spun around. And were face to face with a semi-transparent guy in medieval garb with a fur-trimmed cap and a beard that looked like two raccoon tails sewn together under his nose and chin. "I am Johannes Gensfleisch zur Laden zum Gutenberg," said the holographic image, who had ink stains all over his fingertips. "You created the Gutenberg Bibles on your printing press!" gushed Sierra. "Ja, ja, ja. Big bestseller. You need help with der Bible, I am at your service." He bowed. "Oh-kay," said Akimi, turning to Miguel. "Take it away, Miguel." "Herr Gutenberg, sir, we're looking for twotwenty-fifteen." "Das ist einfach." "Huh?" "That is easy. TWO, TWENTY, FIFTEEN is EXODUS, chapter TWENTY, verse FIFTEEN." "Of course!" said Miguel. "Exodus is the second book of the Bible. Twenty and fifteen are

“一切都好!”一个带着浓重德国口音的男人说。 四个队友转过身来。 和我们面对面的是一个半透明的家伙，他穿着中世纪的服装，戴着一顶毛皮镶边的帽子，鼻子和下巴下面的胡子看起来像两条缝在一起的浣熊尾巴。 “我是约翰内斯·根斯弗莱施·祖尔·拉登·祖姆·古腾堡。”这个手指尖沾满墨迹的全息影像说。 “你们在你们的印刷机上创造了古腾堡圣经!”塞拉滔滔不绝地说。 “嗯，嗯，嗯。大畅销书。 如果你需要帮助读《圣经》，我随时为你服务。” 他向我鞠了一躬。“哦——好吧，”明美转身对米格尔说。 “把它拿走，米格尔。”“古腾堡先生，先生，我们要找的是215号。” “Das ist infach。”“嗯?”“这很容易。 二，二十，十五是出埃及记，第二十章，十五节" “当然!”米格尔说。《出埃及记》是圣经的第二卷书。 二十和十五是

the chapter and verse." He flipped through some pages. "Here we go. Exodus, chapter twenty, verse fifteen. It's one of the Ten Commandments: 'Thou shalt not steal.' "

一章一节。”他翻了几页。 “我们开始吧。出埃及记，20章，15节。 这是十诫之一:“不可偷盗。”’”
