9 WAIT A MINUTE

CHAPTER 9 WAIT A MINUTE... Conrad!" Finn exclaimed as the solid people walked and the ghost people swam into the next room. Conrad hovered above the dining room table. "Dude! What are you guys doing here?" he asked. "We came to rescue you," Kaz said. "Then why do you look so surprised to see me?" Conrad asked. "We thought we were rescuing Dave," Mom said, trying not to sound disappointed. "You both heard someone say 'that's because you jammed a paintbrush through my stomach,' didn't you?" Mrs. Sweet said to Claire and

第九章等一下…… 康拉德!”芬恩惊叫道，实体人走了进来，幽灵人游进了隔壁房间。 康拉德在餐桌上方盘旋。 “伙计!你们在这里做什么？”他问道。 “我们是来救你的，”和子说。 “那你见到我为什么显得那么惊讶呢？”康拉德问道。 “我们以为我们是在救戴夫，”妈妈说，尽量装出失望的样子。 “你们俩都听到有人说‘那是因为你用画笔刺穿了我的肚子’，是不是？”斯威特太太对克莱尔说

Gabriel. Conrad had wailed those words, so Mrs. Sweet heard them. But she hadn't heard anything the ghosts said after that. And she couldn't see any of them, either. "ACK!" Conrad shrieked when he noticed Gabriel. He shot up to a corner of the ceiling. "Do you see the ghost?" Mrs. Sweet asked Claire and Gabriel. She still thought there was only one ghost in her house. "Yeah. He's up there." Gabriel pointed at Conrad.

加布里埃尔。康拉德哭着说了这些话，所以斯威特太太听到了。 但在那之后，她再也没听到鬼魂说过什么。 她一个也看不见。 “消!”康拉德注意到盖伯瑞尔时尖叫起来。 他迅速爬到天花板的一角。 “你看见鬼了吗？”斯威特太太问克莱尔和加布里埃尔。 她仍然认为她的房子里只有一个鬼。 “是的。他在上面。”盖伯瑞尔指着康拉德。

Conrad stayed where he was, but expaaaanded his arm and finger toward Gabriel. "That's the guy who attacked me and Jessie!" he told the other ghosts. "He came with this big fan and blew Jessie and me out the front window of the movie theater. He probably blew Dave out, too. If you're here to rescue me, why did you bring him with you?" Mrs. Sweet squinted up at the corner of the ceiling. "How come you two can see him and I can't?" "Because he's not glowing," Gabriel said. "We can see ghosts when they're not glowing. Most people can't." Mrs. Sweet looked like she wasn't sure whether or not to believe that. Gabriel turned to Claire. "How are we going to get him down from there?" "Why don't you back up a little and let me handle it." Claire gave Gabriel a gentle push. "He's kind of scared of you."

康拉德呆在原地，但向盖伯瑞尔伸出手臂和手指。 “那就是袭击我和杰西的家伙！”他告诉其他鬼魂。 “他带着一把大风扇来了，把我和杰西从电影院的前窗吹了出去。 他可能也把戴夫炸飞了。 你们既然是来救我的，为什么把他带来呢？”斯威特太太眯起眼睛看着天花板的一角。 “为什么你们两个能看见他，而我不能？”“因为他没有发光。”盖伯瑞尔说。 “鬼魂不发光的时候我们也能看见。 大多数人都做不到。”斯威特太太似乎不知道该不该相信这句话。 盖伯瑞尔转向克莱尔。“我们怎么把他从那儿弄下来呢？”“你为什么不后退一点，让我来处理呢？” 克莱尔轻轻地推了加百列一下。 “他有点怕你。”

Mrs. Sweet chuckled. "The ghost is scared of us?" "Not all of us. Just him," Claire said, tipping her head toward Gabriel. "Because he and the ghost got off on the wrong foot at the movie theater." "A guy at the theater hired me to come in and get rid of the ghosts," Gabriel tried to explain. "It was a job." Claire turned to Conrad. "Gabriel wants you to know that he's sorry for the way he did that job," she said. "He won't ever blow any ghosts outside again. He wanted to help us find you. He wants to find Jessie and Dave, too, and take you all someplace safe." "I don't know," Conrad said, keeping a wary eye on Gabriel. Mrs. Sweet shook her head in confusion. "What's happening here?" Claire raised her water bottle to Conrad. "I'll take you wherever you want to go," she promised.

斯威特太太咯咯地笑了。“鬼怕我们？”“不是所有人。 只有他，”克莱尔说着，把头转向加布里埃尔。 “因为他和鬼魂在电影院一开始就闹僵了。” “剧院里有个人雇我去赶走鬼魂，”盖伯瑞尔试图解释。 “这是一份工作。”克莱尔转向康拉德。 “加布里埃尔想让你知道，他为自己的工作方式感到抱歉，”她说。 “他再也不会把鬼吹到外面去了。 他想帮我们找到你。 他也想找到杰西和戴夫，把你们带到安全的地方。” “我不知道。”康拉德说，警惕地盯着盖伯瑞尔。 斯威特太太困惑地摇了摇头。 “这是怎么回事？”克莱尔向康拉德举起了她的水瓶。 “你想去哪儿我就带你去哪儿。”她保证道。

"Back to the movie theater, if you want. George is still there. We can pick him up and I can take you all to the library, if you want. You'll be safe there. Then we can try and find Jessie and Dave." "You can trust Claire," Kaz said to Conrad. "You may not trust Gabriel, but you can trust Claire." To prove it, he shrank down... down... down... and swam into Claire's water bottle. "Yeah. Come on, Conrad," Finn said as he and Mom shrank down... down... down... and followed Kaz. "Unless you'd rather stay here by yourself?" "No. We need to find Jessie and Dave," Conrad said. "I don't know what happened to Dave, but I do know what happened to Jessie. Will she really help us?" He gestured toward Claire.

“如果你想的话，就回电影院去吧。 乔治还在那儿。我们可以去接他，如果你们愿意，我可以带你们去图书馆。 你在那里会很安全的。然后我们可以试着找到杰西和戴夫。” “你可以相信克莱尔，”卡兹对康拉德说。 “你可能不信任加百列，但你可以信任克莱尔” 为了证明这一点，他畏缩了…… 下来……下来……游进了克莱尔的水瓶里 “是的。来吧，康拉德，”芬恩说，他和妈妈缩了下来…… 下来……下来……跟在卡兹后面。 “除非你愿意一个人呆在这儿？”“没有。 我们得找到杰西和戴夫，”康拉德说。 “我不知道戴夫怎么了，但我知道杰西怎么了。 她真的会帮助我们吗？”他指了指克莱尔。
