12 A Bathroom Emergency

Chapter 12 A Bathroom Emergency After it was all over, Fish Food and Zack and Miss Mary got into their tour bus. It said JUST MARRIED on it. Somebody had tied a bunch of cans and stuff to the back bumper. What's up with that? Then they all waved good-bye and drove away. Mr. Klutz had tears in his eyes. Everybody else was really happy. Especially Mr. Granite. That's when I realized something. I had to go to the bathroom really badly! I was going to wait until I got home, but it was an emergency. I went into the school and ran down the hall to the boys' bathroom. "Is anybody in here?" I asked as I pushed open the door, just to be on the safe side. I wasn't taking any chances, ever since the

一切结束后，鱼食、扎克和玛丽小姐上了他们的旅游巴士。 上面写着刚刚结婚。 有人在后保险杠上绑了一堆罐头之类的东西。 这是怎么回事？然后他们都挥手告别，开车离开了。 克鲁茨先生眼里含着泪水。 其他人都很开心。 尤其是花岗岩先生。这时我意识到一件事。 我真的很想上厕所！我本来打算回家再去的，但情况紧急。 我走进学校，沿着走廊跑到男生的浴室。 “这里有人吗？”为了安全起见，我一边推开门一边问。 我不想冒任何风险，自从

last time. There was nobody in the bathroom. I went into one of the stalls. I did what I had to do and flushed the toilet. But that's when the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. The toilet next to mine flushed! I figured they must be testing out the new automatic toilets again. I looked under the wall into the stall next to mine. And you'll never believe in a million hundred years what I saw in there. It was a ghost! A ghost was sitting on the toilet! I was freaking out! "Who… are… you?" I asked. "Who do I look like?" the ghost said. "I'm a ghost." "You're a real ghost?" "Of course I'm a real ghost," the ghost

最后一次。浴室里没有人。 我走进其中一个隔间。 我做了我该做的，冲了厕所。 但就在那时，世界历史上最奇怪的事情发生了。 我隔壁的厕所都冲水了！我想他们一定又在测试新的自动马桶了。 我看了看墙下我旁边的隔间。 你绝对不会相信我在那里看到了什么。 那是鬼！一个鬼坐在马桶上！我吓坏了！“你……是……谁？”我问。 “我长得像谁？”鬼魂说。 “我是鬼。”“你真的是鬼？”“我当然是一个真正的鬼魂，”鬼魂说

said. "I didn't know ghosts use the bathroom," I said. "Now you know," said the ghost. "Do you eat kids for lunch?" I asked. "No." "Good." "We eat kids for dinner," said the ghost. "And soon it will be dinnertime." AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! I ran out of there. And I'm not going back ever again. I'm going to Antarctica to live with the penguins. Penguins are cool. And I don't think they have any ghosts in Antarctica. Or at least they don't have any in their bathrooms.

说。“我不知道鬼也用浴室，”我说。 “现在你知道了，”鬼魂说。 “你午餐吃小孩吗？”我问。 “没有。”“好”。“我们吃小孩当晚餐，”鬼魂说。 “很快就到晚饭时间了。” AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !我跑了出去。 我再也不会回去了。 我要去南极洲和企鹅住在一起。 企鹅很酷。我不认为南极洲有鬼魂。 或者至少他们的浴室里没有。

Well, that's pretty much the way it happened. Maybe the boys' bathroom in our school really is haunted. Maybe we'll get another student teacher. Maybe people will stop climbing in the windows and hiding in the cloakroom. Maybe now that they're married, Miss Mary and Zack will stop smooching all the time. Maybe the Fish Food album will be a big success. Maybe Zack will teach us how to snorkel in a bog. Maybe people in England will stop saying

嗯，事情就是这样发生的。 也许我们学校的男厕真的闹鬼了。 也许我们会再找一个实习老师。 也许人们会停止爬进窗户躲在衣帽间里。 也许现在他们结婚了，玛丽小姐和扎克就不会一直接吻了。 也许《鱼食》专辑会大获成功。 也许扎克会教我们如何在沼泽里浮潜。 也许英国人会停止说

"bloody" all the time. Maybe people will start calling sausage "sausage." Maybe Superman will zap Batman with his heat vision. Maybe Andrea will make a movie about how to be annoying. Maybe Mr. Granite will buy a new vacuum cleaner. Maybe I'll get one of Zack's bobble head statues. Maybe with Zack gone, Mr. Granite will finally be able to teach his math lesson. But it won't be easy!

总是说“血腥”。也许人们会开始称香肠为“香肠”。 也许超人会用他的热视觉打败蝙蝠侠。 也许安德里亚会拍一部关于如何烦人的电影。 也许花岗岩先生会买个新的吸尘器。 也许我该买一个扎克的泡泡头雕像。 也许扎克走了，花岗岩先生终于可以教他的数学课了。 但这并不容易！
