Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE 'Oh dear,' sighed Dad. 'I did tell you,' I said. Oscar gave a sad little sniff and began to glide away, back towards the dungeon below. 'Hey!' I called. 'Oscar, come back!' But Oscar didn't turn round. He floated all the way back down the corridor

第五章“哦，天哪，”爸爸叹了口气。 “我告诉过你，”我说。奥斯卡悲伤地轻轻哼了一声，开始溜掉，回到下面的地牢去了。 “嘿!”我叫。“奥斯卡，回来吧！”但是奥斯卡并没有转身。 他顺着走廊一路飘了回来

and towards the dungeon. 'What a shame!' said Dad as we stood together in the now empty corridor. 'Poor Oscar.' 'I did tell you!' I said again. 'You did,' sighed Dad. You were right, Isadora. We need to find a different way to introduce the ghost to the class.' We made our way back along the corridor to the dungeon. 'Oscar!' I called as we hurried down the stone steps. 'Where are you?' 'Are you in here again?' asked Dad, opening the cupboard door. We both peered into the darkness. There was the little silvery shape, trembling in the

朝地牢走去。“真可惜！”我们一起站在空荡荡的走廊里，爸爸说。 “可怜的奥斯卡。“我告诉过你！”我又说。 “是你，”爸爸叹了口气。你是对的，伊莎多拉。 我们得想个不同的办法把幽灵介绍给同学们。”我们沿着走廊回到地牢。 “奥斯卡!”我们匆匆走下石阶时，我喊道。 “你在哪儿？”“你又在这儿吗？”爸爸打开橱门问。 我们俩都凝视着黑暗。 有一个银色的小东西，在水里颤抖着

corner where it had been before. 'Oscar!' I said. 'Come out! Don't be afraid!'

它原来所在的那个角落。 “奥斯卡!”我说。“出来!”不要害怕！”

'But I am afraid,' sobbed Oscar. 'I'm afraid I'm never going to have any friends.' 'You will!' I insisted. 'We just have to find the right way to introduce you.' 'And you already have two friends!' added Dad. 'Me and Isadora.' Oscar sniffed. 'That's true,' he said, cheering up a little bit. He uncurled himself and floated out of the cupboard. 'Right,' said Dad. 'We need to think of something quickly. Before the end of the school trip!' 'Yes!' I agreed. We need to think of some way that Oscar can join in without anyone noticing that he is a ghost.'

“但我害怕，”奥斯卡抽泣着说。 “恐怕我永远不会有朋友了。“你会的！”我坚持。 “我们只需要找到合适的方式介绍你。“你已经有两个朋友了！”爸爸补充道。 “我和伊莎多拉。”奥斯卡嗅。 “没错，”他说，稍稍高兴了一点。 他舒展身体，飘出了碗柜。 “好的，”爸爸说。“我们得赶快想个办法。 在学校旅行结束之前！“是的!”我同意了。 我们得想个办法，让奥斯卡能加入进来，而不会被人发现他是鬼魂。”

'Hmm..' said Dad. Pink Rabbit started to twitch his ears and tug at my prisoner costume. I looked down at my stripy legs and at the ball and chain attached to my ankle. I wonder...' I began. I wonder if there are any costumes in the castle that Oscar would be able to wear. If we could find one with a hood then it would hide his face and no one would be able to tell he was a ghost. What a good idea!' said Dad. Oscar started to jiggle up and down in the air excitedly. I know where all the costumes are in the castle!' he said. 'I have been living here for two hundred years

“嗯. .爸爸说。粉红兔子开始抽动耳朵，拽我的囚服。 我低头看了看我的条纹腿和绑在我脚踝上的球链。 我不知道……”我开始。不知道城堡里有没有奥斯卡可以穿的戏服。 如果我们能找到一个戴着兜帽的人，那他的脸就会被兜帽遮住，没人能看出他是个鬼。 好主意！爸爸说。 奥斯卡开始兴奋地在空中上下摆动。 我知道城堡里所有的服装都在哪里！他说。 “我在这儿住了两百年了

after all! I know there's a monk costume with a hood in the chapel, but even better-there's another knight costume in the room where all the swords and shields are. It's got a metal helmet!' 'Perfect!' said Dad. We need to get there fast, in case the others decide to go there before us. Come on!'

毕竟!我知道教堂里有一件戴着兜帽的僧侣服装，但更好的是，房间里还有一件骑士服装，里面放着所有的剑和盾。 它有一个金属头盔！“完美!爸爸说。 我们得快点到那里，以防其他人决定比我们先到那里。 来吧!”
