Chapter 49

49 Kyle, Sierra, and Andrew piled into the bookmobile and took off. "The park is right across the street from my uncle's motel," said Andrew. "Maybe he buried the squirrel books in the sandbox or something." "All of them?" asked Sierra. "Hang on, you guys," said Kyle as he thum-bdialed Akimi. "Where are you, Kyle?" said Akimi the instant she answered. "On our way."

凯尔、西拉和安德鲁挤进移动图书室，出发了。 “公园就在我叔叔的汽车旅馆对面，”安德鲁说。 “也许他把松鼠书埋在沙箱里了。” “所有的？”西拉问。 “等一下，伙计们，”凯尔一边说一边用拇指戳了戳阿基米。 “你在哪里，凯尔？”她一回答，明美就问道。 “在路上。”

"Well, hurry. We're all kind of confused." "Who's with you?" "Miguel and one player from each of the other teams." "Nice. Whose idea was that?" "Mine." "Sweet!" "Yeah. I can be very diplomatic when I'm about to lose my favorite library in the whole world." "So what's up with Liberty Park? What sent you there?" "The medals!" said Akimi. "Stephanie Youngerman from the Mountain team is an excellent code cracker. She's the one who figured it out." "Figured what out?" "Okay, here's the list of medals in the order they were given out: Gold, Olympian, Top Gun —" "We won that one."

“好吧,快点。我们都有点困惑。” “谁和你在一起？”“米格尔和其他各队的一名队员。” “好了。这是谁的主意？”“我的。” “甜!”“是的。当我即将失去世界上我最喜欢的图书馆时，我会非常圆滑。” “那么自由公园是怎么回事？” 是什么把你送到那儿去的？”“奖牌！”明美说。 “山地队的斯蒂芬妮·扬格曼是一名出色的密码破解者。 是她想出来的。” “发现了什么？”“好吧，这是奖牌的列表，按照颁发的顺序排列：金牌、奥运冠军、壮志凌云——”“我们赢得了那个。”

"We also won the Olympian Researcher. After that, Marjory scored the Libris. Then came the 'I Did It!,' the Bendable Bookworm, Eating It Up, Rebus, Thank You, and Yertle the Turtle medallions." "Are they anagrams or something?" "Nope. It's another version of Mr. Lemoncello's First Letters game. When you write down the first letter of all eleven medals, guess what it says." Kyle had already scribbled out the answer on a scrap of paper: "Go to Liberty." "Exactly," said Akimi. "And you said Mr. Lemoncello never repeats himself, never uses the same kind of clue twice." "Well, he didn't. Not the exact same way." "Whatever. But now that we're over here at the park, we don't know what we're looking for." "Books about squirrels." "Wha-hut?" "That's what Andrew Peckleman figured out. His uncle Woody hates squirrels, on account of all

“我们还赢得了奥运研究员奖。 在那之后，玛乔丽拿下了天秤座。 然后是“我做到了！”‘可弯曲的书虫’、‘吃掉它’、‘瑞伯斯’、‘谢谢你’和‘小海龟’。” “是字谜还是什么？”“不。 这是莱蒙切罗先生的《First Letters》游戏的另一个版本。 当你写下所有11枚奖章的第一个字母时，猜猜上面写的是什么。” 凯尔已经在一张小纸条上草草写下了答案：“走向自由。” “没错，”明美说。“你还说莱蒙切罗先生从不重复自己的话，也从不重复同样的线索。” “嗯，他没有。不是完全一样的方式。” “不管。但现在我们在公园这里，我们不知道我们在找什么。” “关于松鼠的书。”“Wha-hut ?”这就是Andrew Peckleman发现的。 毕竟，他的胡迪叔叔讨厌松鼠

his bird feeders. So he doesn't want anybody else in town reading about them, either." "Why? Does he think that if all the squirrel books disappear, the squirrels will disappear, too?" "Maybe." "The man is definitely nutty," said Akimi. Three minutes later, the bookmobile squealed to a stop outside Liberty Park, which was actually more of a playground with trees and picnic tables. "You guys find anything?" Kyle asked Miguel. "No. No signs of digging." "Why are you looking for signs of digging?" "Buried treasure, man. Like in Treasure Island." "I don't think Mr. Peckleman would've buried his books over here," said the Texan, Angus Harper. "Somebody would've seen him doing it."

他的喂鸟器。所以他也不想让镇上的其他人看到他们。” “为什么?难道他认为如果所有的松鼠书都消失了，松鼠也会消失吗？”“也许吧。” “这个人肯定是疯了，”明美说。 三分钟后，流动图书车在自由公园外停了下来，自由公园实际上更像是一个有树和野餐桌的操场。 “你们找到什么了吗？”凯尔问米格尔。 “没有。没有挖掘的迹象。” “你为什么要寻找挖掘的痕迹？”“埋藏的宝藏，伙计。 就像《金银岛》里那样。”“我认为佩克曼先生不会把书埋在这里，”德州人安格斯·哈珀说。 “有人会看到他这么做的。”

"You're right," said Kyle. "He wouldn't take that big of a risk." "So why did Mr. Lemoncello send us here?" asked Diane Capriola, from the Southeast team. "Liberty Park!" said Stephanie Youngerman. "It's another anagram!" Everybody whipped out their smartphones and started using the notes app to rearrange the letters. "Perky tribal!" shouted Miguel. "Library kept!" said Stephanie Youngerman. "It has 'library' in it!" While the other treasure hunters kept calling out weird word combinations, Kyle slowly rotated in place, scanning the park and the playground. "What's that?" He pointed to a green humped structure with a bobble head attached to one side by a stubby neck made of coiled spring. "That's for kids to climb on," said Andrew. "It's supposed to look like a turtle." "And," said Kyle, "when Mr. Lemoncello gave Marjory Muldauer her Yertle the Turtle

“你说得对，”凯尔说。 “他不会冒那么大的风险。” “那么，莱蒙切罗先生为什么要把我们送到这里来呢？”东南队的黛安·卡普里奥拉（Diane Capriola）问道。 “自由公园！”斯蒂芬妮·扬格曼说。 “又是一个字谜！”每个人都拿出智能手机，开始使用笔记应用程序重新排列字母。 “神气十足的部落！”米格尔喊道。 “图书馆保管好了！”斯蒂芬妮·扬格曼说。 “里面有‘图书馆’这个词！”当其他寻宝者不停地喊出奇怪的单词组合时，凯尔慢慢地在原地旋转，扫视着公园和操场。 “那是什么?”他指着一个绿色的驼峰结构，它的一侧有一个由卷曲的弹簧制成的粗短的脖子，上面挂着一个泡泡头。 “那是给孩子们爬上去的，”安德鲁说。 “它应该看起来像一只乌龟。” “还有，”凯尔说，“当莱蒙切罗先生给玛乔丽·穆尔道尔她的龟宝宝时

medal, he said it was the 'most important medal of all the very important medals awarded thus far.' Come on." Kyle led the way to the shell-shaped turtle toy. Pranav Pillai, from the Pacific team, scooted under it. "Score!" he shouted. "What'd you find?" asked Kyle. Pranav slid out from under the turtle and showed everybody what he'd found: a bright yellow envelope with "Clue" stamped on its front.

他说，这是迄今为止颁发的所有非常重要的奖牌中最重要的一个。来吧。” 凯尔带路去看贝壳形状的乌龟玩具。 来自太平洋队的普拉纳夫·皮莱（Pranav Pillai）在它下面滑行。 “得分！”他喊道。“你发现了什么？”凯尔问。 普拉纳夫从乌龟下面钻出来，给大家看他找到的东西：一个亮黄色的信封，信封正面印着“线索”。
