2 WHERE IS DAVE

CHAPTER 2 WHERE IS DAVE? Gone?!" Mom exclaimed. Grandpop wafted forward. "What do you mean gone?" "I mean gone. Disappeared. Not here anymore," Conrad said. "Where'd he go?" Grandmom asked. "We have no idea," Jessie said. Claire set her orange juice bottle on the floor and pulled a purple notebook and green pen from her bag. She glanced warily at the other solid people who were buying popcorn at the counter, then turned her back to them. "How long has Dave been gone?" she asked Finn's friends.

第二章戴夫在哪里？去了? !”妈妈喊道。 爷爷飘向前方。“你说走了是什么意思？”“我是说走了。 消失了。我不在这里了。”康拉德说。 “他去哪儿了？”奶奶问。 “我们不知道，”杰西说。 克莱尔把她的橙汁瓶放在地板上，从包里拿出一个紫色的笔记本和一支绿色的笔。 她警惕地瞥了一眼其他在柜台买爆米花的人，然后转过身去。 “戴夫离开多久了？”她问芬恩的朋友们。

George's mouth fell open. Jessie and Conrad waved their hands in Claire's face. "Can you see us?" "Yes. I can hear you, too," Claire said, barely moving her lips. She was used to ghosts asking her these questions. "How?" Conrad and Jessie asked. "We're not glowing," George said. Claire shrugged as two solid girls walked past her with their popcorn. "No one knows," Little John said. "Someone must know," Jessie said. "There must be some explanation." Claire shrugged again. "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?" Conrad asked.

乔治张大了嘴。杰西和康拉德在克莱尔面前挥着手。 “你能看见我们吗？”“是的。我也能听到你的声音，”克莱尔说，嘴唇几乎没有动。 她已经习惯了鬼魂问她这些问题。 “如何?”康拉德和杰西问。 “我们没有发光。”乔治说。 克莱尔耸了耸肩，两个结实的女孩拿着爆米花从她身边走过。 “没人知道，”小约翰说。 “一定有人知道，”杰西说。 “一定有什么解释。” 克莱尔又耸了耸肩。“怎么啦？” 猫咬到你的舌头了？”康拉德问道。

"She doesn't like to talk a lot when all these other people are around," Kaz explained. "They can't see us, so they'll think she's talking to herself." "Ohhh," Conrad and Jessie said at the same time. "Let's talk about Dave instead of Claire," Kaz said. "How long has he been gone?" "Since yesterday," Conrad said. Kaz glanced out the big front window at the stores across the street. A ghost could pass through walls and visit a bunch of stores on that side of the street without ever going outside. You could probably do that on this side of the street, too. "Maybe he's not really gone," Kaz said. "Isn't there a toy store on the other side of that wall?" He pointed to the wall behind the snack counter. "And a restaurant on the other side of that wall?" He pointed to the other wall. "Maybe Dave's in one of the other stores or restaurants on this block."

卡兹解释说：“当周围都是其他人的时候，她不喜欢说很多话。 “他们看不见我们，所以他们会以为她在自言自语。” “哦，”康拉德和杰西同时说。 卡兹说：“我们谈谈戴夫吧，别谈克莱尔了。” “他走了多久了？”“从昨天开始，”康拉德说。 卡兹从前面的大窗户往外看了看街对面的商店。 鬼魂可以穿墙而过，不用出门就能逛到街那边的一堆商店。 你可能也可以在这条街的这一边这样做。 “也许他并没有真的离开，”卡兹说。 “那面墙的另一边不是有一家玩具店吗？”他指着零食柜台后面的墙。 “那墙的另一边有餐馆吗？”他指着另一堵墙。 “也许戴夫在这条街上的其他商店或餐馆里。”

"We already looked in all the other stores on this block," George said. "Several times," Conrad said. "He's gone." "We know he's gone because he didn't show up for the sing-along last night," Jessie said. "Sing-along?" Little John asked. "You guys still do that?" Finn asked. "Of course," Jessie replied. She turned to the other ghosts. "After the theater closes, we meet by the piano in the balcony and have a sing-along." "It's how we celebrate that all the solids have gone home for the night," Conrad added. "My brother always loved music," Mom said with a wistful smile. "He did indeed," Grandmom agreed as Claire wrote everything in her notebook. "Dave wouldn't leave without saying goodbye," George said. "Something bad must've happened to him." Jessie and Conrad nodded in agreement.

“我们已经找遍了这条街上所有的商店，”乔治说。 “好几次了，”康拉德说。 “他走了”。杰西说：“我们知道他走了，因为他昨晚没来合唱。” “跟唱歌曲?”小约翰问。 “你们还这么做吗？”芬恩问道。 “当然，”杰西回答。 她转向其他鬼魂。 “剧院打烊后，我们在阳台的钢琴旁见面，一起唱歌。” 康拉德补充说：“这是我们庆祝所有固体都回家过夜的方式。” “我哥哥一直很喜欢音乐，”妈妈带着渴望的微笑说。 “是啊，”克莱尔在笔记本上写下所有的东西时，奶奶同意了。 “戴夫不会不辞而别的，”乔治说。 “他一定遇到了什么不好的事。” 杰西和康拉德点头表示同意。

"Maybe he accidentally passed through the back wall," Finn said. "If you pass through the back wall, you don't end up in another store. You end up in the Outside. In an alley. That's what happened to me." "Tell us about it," Pops said to Finn. "Well," Finn said, looking a little embarrassed. "I was making faces at the solids before the movie started. Just for fun. And I sort of backed through the wall into the Outside. The wind blew me into a packing and shipping store across the alley. I tried to swim back over here, but the wind was too strong. It blew me up and over all these stores. I ended up at the library for a while. Then Eli's house. That's where Kaz and Little John found me." "Maybe the wind blew Dave to Eli's house, too," Little John suggested. "I think it's more likely that it blew him into one of the stores across the alley," Finn said.

“也许他不小心穿过了后墙，”芬恩说。 “如果你穿过后墙，你最终不会进入另一家商店。 你最终会在外面。 在巷子里。这就是我的遭遇。” “给我们讲讲吧，”老爷子对芬恩说。 “嗯，”芬恩说，看起来有点尴尬。 “电影开始前，我就在做鬼脸。 只是为了好玩。然后我从墙里倒进了外面。 风把我吹进了小巷对面的一家包装运输店。 我想游回来，但风太大了。 它把我炸飞了，飞遍了所有的商店。 我在图书馆待了一段时间。 然后是伊莱的家。卡兹和小约翰就是在那里找到我的。” “也许风也把戴夫吹到了伊莱家，”小约翰说。 芬恩说：“我认为更有可能的是，它把他吹进了小巷对面的一家商店。”
