4 FIRE!

CHAPTER 4 FIRE! Sparky's howls were loud, but the alarm was even louder! Kaz pressed his hands to his ears. It didn't help. Firefighters rushed to the garage. Some burst through the door at the top of the stairs. Others slid down the pole. They hopped into boots, grabbed coats and helmets from the hooks, and ran to the trucks. The big garage doors started to rise. Kaz didn't want to be sucked into the Outside. He swam back... back... back as hard as he could. But not too far back, because the back door

第四章火！斯帕奇的嚎叫很响，但警报声更响！和子用手捂住耳朵。 但无济于事。消防队员迅速赶到车库。 一些人从楼梯顶上的门冲了进来。 其他人从杆子上滑了下来。 他们穿上靴子，从挂钩上抓起外套和头盔，跑向卡车。 车库的大门开始升高。 卡兹不想被吸进外面的世界。 他游回来了……回来……他用尽全力往回走。 但不要太靠后，因为有后门

was open, too! He swam up to the glass window where the lady sat in front of all those computer screens. The radio room, RJ called it. Kaz sailed through the window and into the room. Safe. "Little John?" Kaz said as he turned around. Where was Little John? Was he still inside the ladder truck? Kaz wafted back over to the window and looked down into the garage. He didn't see Little John anywhere. The radio-room lady had something on her head that attached to a small microphone in front of her mouth. "You're heading to 1024 Elm Street," she said into the microphone. One by one, with lights flashing and sirens blaring, the trucks pulled out of the garage below and drove away. And before anyone knew what was happening, Sparky charged after them! Right into the street.

也是开着的！他游到那位女士坐在电脑屏幕前的玻璃窗前。 无线电室，RJ叫它。 卡兹轻快地穿过窗户，进了房间。 安全的。“小约翰?”卡兹转过身说。 小约翰在哪里？他还在云梯车里吗？ 卡兹飘飘然地走回窗前，低头看着车库。 他哪儿也没看见小约翰。 广播室的女士头上戴着一个东西，连接着她嘴边的一个小麦克风。 “你要去榆树街1024号，”她对着麦克风说。 卡车一辆接一辆地驶出下面的车库，闪烁着灯光，鸣响着警笛。 还没等大家反应过来，斯巴克就追上了他们！就在街上。

Kaz couldn't hear Brynlee and RJ over the sound of the alarm, but he saw them say something to each other as they waved their arms in the air. Then they hurried after Sparky. Claire glanced up at Kaz. She said something to him, but Kaz couldn't make it out. "What...?" Kaz wailed as Claire set her bag and water bottle on a bench. "What... did...

卡兹在警报声中听不见布林利和RJ的声音，但他看到他们在空中挥舞着手臂，互相说着什么。 然后他们赶紧去追闪闪。 克莱尔抬头看了卡兹一眼。她对他说了些什么，但卡兹听不懂。 “什么……?”克莱尔把她的包和水瓶放在长凳上时，卡兹哭了起来。 “什么……做了……

you... say,... Claire?" "Who said that?" the radio lady asked, looking all around. Claire grabbed a rope from a hook above the bench and ran after the twins. Leaving Kaz behind. "CLAIRE...," Kaz wailed again. Louder this time. All of a sudden, he felt tired. Really tired. Like he had no energy. "Who's Claire?" the radio lady asked, looking right at him. Kaz blinked. Was the radio lady talking to him? Could she see him? "What? Am I glowing?" he asked. Was that why he was suddenly so tired? He looked down at himself. No, he wasn't glowing. The radio lady couldn't see him. But she had definitely heard him say Claire's name. "I was wailing, wasn't I?" he cried in amazement. "You heard me wailing!" But the radio lady didn't hear that because Kaz

你……说,……克莱尔?”“谁说的？”收音小姐环顾四周问道。 克莱尔从长凳上方的钩子上抓起一根绳子，追着双胞胎跑去。 留下卡兹。“克莱尔…卡兹又哭了起来。 这次大声点。突然，他觉得累了。 真的累了。好像他没有力气。 “谁是克莱尔？”收音小姐直直地看着他问道。 Kaz眨了眨眼睛。广播小姐在跟他说话吗？ 她能看见他吗？“什么?我在发光吗？”他问。 这就是他突然感到疲倦的原因吗？ 他低头看着自己。 不，他没有发光。无线电小姐看不见他。 但她确实听到他说克莱尔的名字。 “我在哭，不是吗？”他惊奇地叫道。 “你听见我在哭了！”但是广播小姐没有听到，因为卡兹

wasn't wailing anymore. The alarm stopped. The big garage doors rumbled as they started to close. With a shrug, the lady turned her attention back to the screens in front of her. "Engine one is in service," came a voice from a speaker in front of her. How did I do it? Kaz wondered. He didn't know, because he hadn't been trying to wail. The wail had just come out. But that was how it happened with most of his ghost skills. The first time he got a skill right, he did it without even thinking about it. Maybe wailing had something to do with how LOUD a ghost said something. It probably had something to do with stomach muscles, too, Kaz thought, because his stomach muscles ached. He tried tightening his stomach muscles. Tight! Tight! Tight! As tight as he could make them. Then he wailed, "Wooooooo..." The radio lady moved the microphone away

我不再哭泣了。警报停止了。 车库的大门开始关上时发出隆隆声。 这位女士耸耸肩，把注意力转回到她面前的屏幕上。 “一号发动机正在运转。”她面前的一个喇叭里传来一个声音。 我是怎么做到的？Kaz很好奇。 他不知道，因为他并没有想哭。 哭声刚刚响起。 但他的大部分鬼魂技能都是这样的。 当他第一次掌握一项技能时，他想都没想就完成了。 也许哭泣与鬼魂说话的声音有多大有关。 这可能也和胃部肌肉有关，和子想，因为他的胃部肌肉疼痛。 他试着收紧腹部肌肉。 紧!紧!紧!尽可能的紧。 然后他哀号道：“呜——呜……” 收音小姐把麦克风挪开了

from her mouth. "Who said that? Who's there?" she asked, looking all around. It worked! "I-it's... me...," Kaz wailed. "Kaz..." His stomach muscles gave out. He couldn't wail anymore. "Kaz? Kaz who?" the radio lady asked. "Are you the fire station ghost?" "No, I'm just Kaz. I'm a different ghost," he said. It came out as words, not wails, so the lady couldn't hear him. And Kaz didn't have the energy to try wailing again. "Ladder one is arriving on the scene," came a voice through the speaker. "Engine one is two minutes out," came another voice. "Well, whoever you are, I can't talk to you right now," the lady said. "I'm working." She scooted closer to the microphone and turned her attention to the screens in front of her. Kaz didn't want to bother the lady. Or keep her

从她嘴里说出来。“谁说的？” 谁在那儿？”她环顾四周，问道。 它工作!“我是……我……卡兹哀号道。 “Kaz……”他的腹部肌肉无力了。 他不能再哭了。“Kaz ? 卡兹是谁？”广播小姐问道。 “你是消防站的鬼魂吗？”“不，我只是卡兹。 我是一个不同的鬼魂，”他说。 那是说话的声音，不是哭喊的声音，所以那位女士听不见他说的话。 卡兹没有力气再哭了。 “一号梯到达现场了。”扩音器里传来一个声音。 “一号引擎熄火两分钟了。”另一个声音说。 “好吧，不管你是谁，我现在不能和你说话，”女士说。 “我工作。”她快步靠近麦克风，把注意力转向面前的屏幕。 卡兹不想打扰这位女士。 或者留下她
