5 MORE MISSING GHOSTS

CHAPTER 5 MORE MISSING GHOSTS The doors to the movie theater stood wide open, so the ghosts didn't dare pass through Claire's water bottle until they were farther into the lobby area. "Excuse me, Miss?" A solid lady at the ticket counter called to Claire. "Do you have a ticket?" Claire stopped. "Oh. Yes, I do," she said. She opened the front pocket of her bag and pulled out a paper ticket. The lady looked at it over the tops of her glasses. "Thank you," she said. There were no ghosts in the lobby today. And the only solid people were the guy behind the

电影院的门大开着，所以鬼魂们不敢穿过克莱尔的水瓶，直到他们进一步进入大厅区域。 “对不起，小姐。”售票处一位稳重的女士叫克莱尔。 “你有票吗？”克莱尔停了下来。 “哦。是的，我喜欢，”她说。 她打开包的前口袋，掏出一张纸票。 这位女士从眼镜上方看了看。 “谢谢你，”她说。今天大厅里没有鬼。 唯一可靠的人是幕后的那个人

snack counter and Irwin, the man who had told Claire to save her ticket when she left yesterday. "Looks like you're feeling better today." He smiled when Claire approached. "Yes, much better," Claire said as she handed him her ticket. Irwin tore it in half. "Enjoy the show!" he said. The ghosts passed through the bottle and followed Claire down a dim hallway. Little John hovered beside a poster of a five-eyed monster on

还有欧文，就是昨天克莱尔离开时告诉她把票存起来的那个人。 “看起来你今天感觉好多了。” 克莱尔走近时，他笑了。 “是的，好多了，”克莱尔一边说一边把票递给他。 欧文把它撕成两半。“好好欣赏这场表演！”他说。 鬼魂穿过瓶子，跟着克莱尔穿过昏暗的走廊。 小约翰在一张五眼怪物的海报旁徘徊

the wall. He gulped. "Is that the movie that's showing?" "You're not scared to see that movie, are you, Little John?" Finn asked. "No!" Little John said right away. "Are you scared to see it, Kaz?" "No," Kaz said. And he wasn't. Well, not too scared, anyway. "It's just a movie. Plus we're here to see if Dave came back. Where are your friends, Finn? I don't see them anywhere." "They're probably in the theater," Finn said.

墙上。他一饮而尽。“那是正在上映的电影吗？”“你不会害怕看那部电影吧，小约翰？”芬恩问道。 “不!”小约翰马上说。 “你害怕看到它吗，卡兹？”“不，”卡兹说。 但他没有。好吧，反正也不太害怕。 “这只是一部电影。而且我们是来看看戴夫回来没。 芬恩，你的朋友们呢？ 我哪儿都没看到他们。” “他们可能在剧院里，”芬恩说。

Claire yanked open the door and went into the dark theater. Kaz and his brothers wafted in behind her. The movie had already started. Loud, scary music pulsed from speakers on the wall as Claire sat down. Kaz tried not to look at the monster on the screen, but he couldn't not look. The monster really did have five eyes, just like on the poster. "The ghosts aren't in here, either!" Little John said, turning his back to the movie. "Maybe we should go look for them," Kaz said. "We should definitely go look for them," Little John said, swimming toward the door. Claire leaned back in her chair. "Okay. Come back when you find them," she whispered to Kaz. He nodded, then followed his brothers. "I don't know where else they could be," Finn said. He looked up and down the dim hallway. The only person—solid or ghost—out here was Irwin.

克莱尔猛地打开门，走进黑暗的剧院。 和子和他的兄弟们跟在她后面飘了进来。 电影已经开始了。 克莱尔坐了下来，墙上的扬声器里传出了响亮而可怕的音乐。 卡兹尽量不去看屏幕上的怪物，但他无法不去看。 怪物真的有五只眼睛，就像海报上的一样。 “鬼也不在这儿！”小约翰说着，背对着电影。 “也许我们应该去找他们，”卡兹说。 “我们一定要去找他们，”小约翰边说边向门口游去。 克莱尔向后靠在椅子上。 “好吧。找到他们就回来。”她小声对和子说。 他点点头，然后跟着他的兄弟们。 “我不知道他们还能在哪里，”芬恩说。 他在昏暗的走廊里上下打量着。 这里唯一的真人或幽灵是欧文。

"They could be in one of the other stores on this block," Kaz suggested. Maybe they didn't like scary movies any more than Little John did. "Maybe," Finn said. "Or maybe they're in one of the bathrooms. Or upstairs in the projection room." "Let's check the bathrooms," Little John said. He darted across the hall and into the men's room. "Jessie? Conrad? George?" Finn called as the ghosts passed through the men's room door. "Are any of you in here?" "I-I'm here," George said in a wobbly voice. He wafted up above the stall door just high enough to peek over the top.

“它们可能在这条街上的其他商店里，”卡兹建议道。 也许他们和小约翰一样不喜欢恐怖电影。 “也许吧，”芬恩说。“也许他们在浴室里。 或者在楼上的放映室里。” “我们去看看洗手间吧，”小约翰说。 他飞快地穿过大厅，走进男厕所。 “杰西?康拉德?乔治?”芬恩喊道，这时鬼魂正穿过男厕所的门。 “你们有人在这里吗？”“我——我在这儿。”乔治用颤抖的声音说。 他飘到了隔间门上方，刚好可以从上面往下看。
