6 Trapped!

CHAPTER 6 TRAPPED! "Where are you going, dear?" Grandma Karen asked as Claire reached for the doorknob. "And why are you taking an empty water bottle with you?" Claire glanced down at Kaz, who was safe inside the "empty" water bottle. She let out a small laugh. "Oh, did I forget to fill it? I better go do that." Claire ran up the stairs two at a time, the bottle swinging at her side. Once she and Kaz were alone in the kitchen, she untwisted the lid on the bottle. "Is it okay to put some water in there with

第六章被困住了！“你要去哪儿，亲爱的？”克莱尔伸手去拿门把手时，凯伦奶奶问道。 “你为什么带着一个空水瓶？”克莱尔瞥了卡兹一眼，卡兹在“空”的水瓶里很安全。 她轻轻地笑了笑。 “哦，我忘了加满吗？” 我最好去做这件事。”克莱尔一次跑上两层楼，瓶子在她身边摇摆。 当她和卡兹单独在厨房时，她打开了瓶子的盖子。 “可以放些水进去吗？

you?" Claire asked. "I don't want my grandma to get suspicious." Kaz knew what water was. It was like rain that solids could turn on and off inside their haunts. "Yes," Kaz said. "But leave some room for me to swim above the water." Kaz had seen Claire put water into a bowl for Thor before, but he had no idea how hard and fast it came out of the faucet. "Aaaaaaaah!" he shrieked as the water poured down on him inside the bottle. Claire yanked the bottle away from the stream of water. "What? What's the matter?" she asked.

你呢?”克莱尔问道。“我不想让我奶奶起疑心。” 卡兹知道水是什么。这就像雨一样，固体可以在它们出没的地方开启和关闭。 “是的，”卡兹说。“但要给我留一点空间，让我游到水面上。” 卡兹以前见过克莱尔把水倒进托尔的碗里，但他不知道水从水龙头里流出来有多硬、多快。 “啊——啊——啊！”他尖叫着，瓶子里的水倾泻在他身上。 克莱尔猛地把瓶子从水流中拽开。 “什么?怎么了？”她问。

Kaz shook himself. "I didn't know the water was going to fall so hard. Or that it would pass through me." "Sorry!" Claire said. "I'll turn it down." She moved a knob, and the water came out much slower. "Who are you talking to, Claire?" Grandma Karen asked from the doorway. Claire jumped. "No one. Just myself." Kaz hovered near the side of the bottle as water

卡兹抖了抖自己。“我不知道水会落得这么大。 或者它会穿过我。” “对不起!”克莱尔说。“我把它关小点。” 她移动了一个旋钮，水流出来的速度就慢多了。 “你在跟谁说话，克莱尔？”凯伦奶奶在门口问。 克莱儿吓了一跳。“没有人。就我自己。” 和子像水一样在瓶子边上徘徊

rose below him. Grandma Karen stared hard at the water bottle. She stared so hard that for a second Kaz wondered if she could see him. But then Grandma Karen turned her attention to Claire. "You've been talking to yourself a lot lately," she said. Claire shrugged. "I like to talk to myself." Grandma Karen smiled. "I did, too, when I was your age," she said. "So, where are you off to?" "Um... a lady asked me to come help her do

站在他下面。凯伦奶奶紧紧地盯着水瓶。 她目不转睛地盯着他，一时间卡兹怀疑自己是否能看见他。 但后来凯伦奶奶把注意力转向了克莱尔。 “你最近老是自言自语，”她说。 克莱儿耸耸肩。“我喜欢自言自语。” 凯伦奶奶笑了。“我像你这么大的时候，也是这样，”她说。 “那么，你要去哪儿？”“嗯…… 一位女士让我来帮她

some stuff," Claire said as she turned off the water. "What lady?" Grandma Karen asked. Claire put the top back on her bottle. It was only about half full of water. "Her name is Mrs. Beesley." Grandma Karen's face brightened. "Do you mean Victoria Beesley who lives over on Forest Street?" "Yes," Claire said carefully. "I know Victoria. She comes into the library from time to time. It's nice of you to help her out." "So it's okay if I go?" Claire asked. "Yes," Grandma Karen said. "As long as you're home in time for dinner." "Cosmo?" Kaz called as he swam around inside Mrs. Beesley's house. He had to be careful because, once again, there were a lot of open windows. "Cosmo, are you here?" Claire sat on the sofa next to Mrs. Beesley.

“一些东西，”克莱尔边说边关了水。 “什么夫人?”卡伦奶奶问。 克莱尔把瓶盖盖上。 里面只有一半的水。 “她叫比斯利太太。” 凯伦奶奶的脸顿时亮了起来。 “你是说住在森林街那边的维多利亚·比斯利吗？”“是的，”克莱尔小心地说。 “我了解维多利亚。她不时地到图书馆来。 你能帮助她真是太好了。” “所以我可以去吗？”克莱尔问道。 “是的，”凯伦奶奶说。 “只要你能及时回家吃晚饭就行。” “都市性?”卡兹一边在比斯利太太的房子里游来游去一边喊道。 他必须非常小心，因为那里又有很多开着的窗户。 “Cosmo，你在吗？”克莱尔坐在比斯利太太旁边的沙发上。

"How do you know the ghost is back?" Claire asked as she opened her notebook and dropped her detective bag at her feet. "I heard those sounds again," Mrs. Beesley said. "Crying... thumping... marbles rolling across the ceiling. Someone's up there. I can feel him when I'm up there, even if I can't see him." All of a sudden, they heard a loud CRASH! above their heads. And then footsteps scurrying across the ceiling. "What's that noise?" Claire asked, looking up. "It's the ghost!" Mrs. Beesley said as she rose to her feet. "Let's see if we can catch him." Kaz followed Claire and Mrs. Beesley up the attic stairs. But something was bothering him: Ghosts don't walk with their feet on the floor, so they don't make footsteps. When they reached the top of the stairs, Kaz, Claire, and Mrs. Beesley all looked around. Kaz didn't see any ghosts. He didn't see any solids, either. All he saw was a broken lamp lying on the

“你怎么知道鬼魂回来了？”克莱尔一边问，一边打开笔记本，把侦探包丢在脚边。 “我又听到了那些声音，”比斯利太太说。 “哭…巨大的……弹珠在天花板上滚动。 有人在上面。我在上面的时候能感觉到他，即使我看不见他。” 突然，他们听到一声巨响！在他们的头上。 然后是天花板上匆匆走过的脚步声。 “那是什么声音？”克莱尔抬起头问。 “是鬼！”比斯利太太说着站了起来。 “让我们看看能不能抓住他。” 卡兹跟着克莱尔和比斯利太太上了阁楼的楼梯。 但有件事困扰着他：鬼魂走路时脚不在地板上，所以它们不会留下脚印。 当他们到达楼梯顶端时，卡兹、克莱尔和比斯利太太都环顾四周。 卡兹没有看到鬼。 他也没有看到固体。 他只看到一盏破灯躺在地板上
