10 ALL’S WELL THAT ENDS WELL

CHAPTER 10 ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL What the—?" Ethan said as Jonathan's head popped up through the opening in the floor. "What are you doing, Jonathan?" Noah cried. "Are you the ghost?" Jonathan froze. "I thought Amber was the ghost," Claire said. "But you're the one who's been going back and forth between the stage and the control room, Jonathan? You're the one who turned on the spotlight and the sound just now? And the piano the other day?" Jonathan lowered his eyes. "Yeah," he

第十章结局好一切都好这是什么——？”伊桑说，这时乔纳森的头从地板上的开口探了出来。 “你在干什么，乔纳森？”诺亚哭了。 “你是鬼吗？”乔纳森愣住了。 “我以为安布尔是鬼魂，”克莱尔说。 “可是你就是那个在舞台和控制室之间来回走动的人，乔纳森？” 你就是刚才打开聚光灯和声音的人？ 那天的钢琴呢？”乔纳森垂下眼睛。 “是的,”他

admitted. He climbed the rest of the way out of the tunnel and sat on the floor. "Did you write that message on the wall in the storage room, too?" Gia asked. "Mr. Hartshorn's keys were lying on the table," Jonathan said. "I took them when no one was looking and then put them back." "And did you hide the costumes?" Noah asked. Jonathan nodded. He pointed down into the tunnel. "They're down there." "How did you even know about that tunnel, Jonathan?" Mr. Hartshorn asked as he made his way through the crowd. "We haven't used it in years. I didn't think anyone in this group even

承认。他爬出隧道，坐在地板上。 “那句话也是你写在储藏室墙上的吗？”吉尔问道。 “哈茨霍恩先生的钥匙就放在桌子上，”乔纳森说。 “我趁没人注意的时候把它们拿走，然后放回去。” “你把服装藏起来了吗？”诺亚问。 乔纳森点点头。他指着下面的隧道。 “他们在下面。”“乔纳森，你是怎么知道那条隧道的？”哈茨霍恩先生穿过人群时问道。 “我们已经很多年没用过了。 我还以为这个小组里的人

knew about it." "My brother told me about it," Jonathan replied. Mr. Hartshorn bent down beside Jonathan. "Why, Jonathan?" he asked, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder. "You've got one of the lead roles in the play. Why would you do all this?" "Because I really did see a ghost the day of tryouts, but no one believed me. And now everyone keeps teasing me about it." Jonathan raised his eyes. "I didn't mean any harm. I just wanted people to stop teasing me. You won't really cancel the play, will you, Mr. Hartshorn?" Mr. Hartshorn didn't answer right away. "I understand if you don't want me to play Jack anymore. But please don't cancel the play," Jonathan said. Mr. Hartshorn rubbed his chin. "I won't cancel the play," he said. "Hooray!" everyone cheered. "And you can still play Jack... if you promise

我早就知道。”约拿单说：“这是我哥哥告诉我的。” 哈茨香先生在乔纳森身边弯下腰。 “为什么，约拿单？”他把手搭在孩子的肩上问道。 “你是剧中的主角之一。 你为什么要做这一切？”“因为选拔赛那天我确实看到了鬼，但是没有人相信我。 现在每个人都拿这件事取笑我。” 乔纳森抬起眼睛。“我没有恶意。 我只是希望人们不要再取笑我了。 你不会真的取消这出戏吧，哈茨香先生？”哈茨霍恩没有立即回答。 “如果你不想让我再演杰克，我能理解。 但是请不要取消这个节目，”乔纳森说。 哈茨香先生揉了揉下巴。 “我不会取消演出，”他说。 “万岁!”每个人都欢呼起来。 “你仍然可以扮演杰克…… 如果你答应

no more backstage trouble and you apologize to your castmates," Mr. Hartshorn said. "I promise. And I'm sorry, everyone," Jonathan said. "Good. I'm reasonably confident everyone will stop teasing you, too," Mr. Hartshorn said with a pointed look at Noah. "Sure," Noah said, elbowing Ethan. A couple of weeks later, Kaz went to school with Claire, her mom and dad, and Grandma Karen. They went at night. Inside the car. Kaz liked riding in the car. It was like being inside a second water bottle. Kaz felt extra protected from the Outside. When they pulled up to the school, Claire's mom said, "Break a leg, honey!" Which seemed strange to Kaz. Why would Claire's own mother want her to break a leg? "I will!" Claire grabbed the water bottle and ran toward the school. She let Kaz out of the water

不会再有后台的麻烦，你要向你的剧组成员道歉，”哈茨霍恩说。 “我保证。我很抱歉，大家，”乔纳森说。 “很好。我有理由相信，大家也不会再取笑你了，”哈茨霍恩说着，尖锐地看了诺亚一眼。 “当然可以。”诺亚说着用胳膊肘碰了碰伊桑。 几个星期后，卡兹和克莱尔、她的爸爸妈妈以及卡伦奶奶一起去上学了。 他们是晚上去的。在车里。 卡兹喜欢坐在车里。 就像在第二个水瓶里一样。 卡兹觉得自己受到了额外的保护。 当他们把车停在学校时，克莱尔的妈妈说：“祝你好运，亲爱的！”这对卡兹来说似乎很奇怪。 为什么克莱尔的亲生母亲想让她摔断腿？ “我要!”克莱尔抓起水瓶向学校跑去。 她把卡兹从水里放了出来

bottle once they were safely inside the cafetorium. Then she went to change into her costume. A lot of the kids had already put on their costumes. The backstage workers bustled around, making sure all the props were in order. "Hey, Ghost Boy!" Noah cried as he jabbed Jonathan with his cardboard sword. "You're not supposed to be messing around with the props," Jonathan said. "And you're not supposed to tease me anymore." Noah grinned. "Are you going to stop me, Ghost Boy?" He jabbed at Jonathan again. "Huh? Are you?" Jonathan tried to grab the sword from Noah, but Noah backed away before Jonathan could reach it. Kaz wished he could put Noah in his place once and for all. He swam over, reached for the sword, and... grabbed it right out of Noah's hand.

瓶子在他们安全进入食堂后。 然后她去换上戏服。 很多孩子已经穿上了戏服。 后台的工作人员忙来忙去，确保所有的道具都井然有序。 “嘿，鬼男孩！”诺亚一边叫一边用纸板剑刺乔纳森。 “你不应该乱动道具，”乔纳森说。 “你不应该再取笑我了。” 诺亚咧嘴一笑。“你要阻止我吗，鬼孩？”他又戳了戳乔纳森。 “嗯?是你呢?”约拿单想从挪亚手里夺过剑，但挪亚在约拿单够不到剑之前就退了回去。 卡兹希望他能把诺亚永远地放在他的位置上。 他游过去，伸手去拿剑，然后…… 从诺亚手里抢过来的。

Noah and Jonathan both stared at the sword that appeared to be floating in midair. But no one was more shocked than Kaz. "I'm doing it!" Kaz laughed out loud. "I'm holding a solid object!" If only Beckett could see him now. But as soon as he thought that, the sword fell through Kaz's hand and landed on the floor. "Did you see that?" Noah asked as several other kids gathered around. "Yeah, Butterfingers," Ethan said with a laugh. "Looks like you can't hold onto a sword." Noah didn't think that was funny. "It felt like someone or something grabbed the sword right out of my hand." "Like what?" Jonathan asked. "A ghost? Now

诺亚和乔纳森都盯着那把似乎漂浮在半空中的剑。 但没有人比卡兹更震惊了。 “我在做！”卡兹大声笑了起来。 “我拿着一个固体！”要是贝克特现在能看到他就好了。 但就在他这么想的时候，剑从和子的手中掉了下来，落在了地板上。 “你看到了吗？”诺亚问，其他几个孩子围了过来。 “是啊，黄油手。”伊桑笑着说。 “看来你连剑都拿不住了。” 诺亚不觉得这好笑。 “感觉就像有人或什么东西从我手中夺走了剑。” “像什么?”乔纳森问道。 “一个幽灵?现在
