10 Running Out of Time

CHAPTER TEN RUNNING OUT OF TIME "MR. WILLOW IS staring at us!" I scream- whispered. "Eight!" Simon yelled. "I can see him!" Rosie scream-whispered back. "He's walking this way. And Katie's with him! She can't find out what we're doing! Hurry, Simon!" "Nine!" "He's halfway to us now," Rosie said urgently— but quietly. She gave the Frisbee a good, accurate nudge and it jumped to the edge of the screen roof.

第十章时间所剩无几。 威洛在盯着我们呢！”我低声尖叫。 “八个!”西蒙喊道。“我看见他了！”罗茜尖叫着小声回答。 “他朝这边走。凯蒂和他在一起！不能让她知道我们在做什么！快点,西蒙!”“九!”“他现在就在离我们一半的地方，”罗茜急切地说——但声音很轻。 她精准地推了一下飞盘，飞盘跳到了屏幕顶部的边缘。

About half of it hung over. "Simon, we have to go! Now!" "Ten!" he yelled. I felt Mr. Willow's hand on my shoulder as I stared up at the Frisbee teetering on the edge. Rosie and Simon hustled out of the greenhouse door. Katie stood next to Mr. Willow. She totally wanted to know what we were doing, I could tell. "Why did you just yell 'ten!' like that, Simon?"

大约一半的酒都没醒。 “西蒙，我们得走了！”现在!”“十个！”他喊道。 当我抬头看着在边缘摇摇晃晃的飞盘时，我感到威洛先生的手搭在了我的肩膀上。 罗茜和西蒙匆匆走出温室的门。 凯蒂站在威洛先生旁边。 我看得出来，她很想知道我们在做什么。 “你为什么喊‘10’！”“像这样吗，西蒙？”

Mr. Willow asked. He didn't sound curious. He sounded like he was accusing Simon of something. It felt like we were in trouble. I froze. I couldn't move a muscle.

威罗先生问。他听起来并不好奇。 他听起来像是在指控西蒙。 感觉我们有麻烦了。 我冻结了。我一动也不能动。

"Uhh," Simon said. He didn't have an answer. I noticed that his hands were in his pockets. He was trying to hide them because they were dirty. Rosie had an answer though. I knew she didn't like fibbing, but she couldn't give away our science fair project—especially with Katie standing right there. "He said it would take me at least twelve pokes with the tomato stake to get the Frisbee down," she answered and turned her back toward Mr. Willow to lock the door. I saw her wrist twist as she wiggled the key. She turned back around and continued. "But I won. I got it here in ten." She handed the keys back to Mr. Willow.

“嗯，”西蒙说。他没有答案。 我注意到他的手插在口袋里。 他想把它们藏起来，因为它们很脏。 不过罗茜有一个答案。 我知道她不喜欢撒谎，但她不能泄露我们的科学展览项目——尤其是凯蒂就站在那里。 “他说我至少要用番茄桩戳12下才能把飞盘放下来。”她回答道，转身背对着威洛先生去锁门。 我看见她转动钥匙时手腕扭了一下。 她转过身继续说。 “但是我赢了。我十分钟就拿到了。” 她把钥匙还给了威罗先生。

Mr. Willow reached up and grabbed the Frisbee for us. "Okay, you three," Mr. Willow said as he and Katie headed back toward the basketball hoop. "Move away from the greenhouse if you're going to throw it some more."

威罗先生伸手为我们抓住了飞盘。 “好了，你们三个，”威洛先生说，他和凯蒂朝篮筐走去。 “如果你还想扔更多的话，就离开温室。”

We said we would. When Mr. Willow and Katie and the other girls

我们说过会的。当威罗先生和凯蒂还有其他女孩
