13 And the Winner Is

Chapter 13 And the Winner Is… "Hey, look!" somebody shouted. "The judge for the sand castle contest is coming!" A guy wearing a tuxedo and one of those tall Abraham Lincoln hats was looking at somebody's sand castle down the beach. He was taking pictures of it and writing on a clipboard. We all ran over to Mr. Sunny. "This is awesome," I told Mr. Sunny. "You're sure to win the contest, dude." "I'm glad I put up this fence so nobody could damage my sanderpiece," Mr. Sunny said. At that moment, the most amazing thing in the history of the world happened. "Look, up in the sky!" Andrea shouted. "It's a bird!" Michael shouted. "It's a plane!" Neil shouted.

“嘿，看！”有人喊道。 “沙堡比赛的裁判来了！”一个穿着燕尾服，戴着一顶亚伯拉罕·林肯式高帽的家伙在沙滩上看着别人的沙堡。 他给它拍照，并在剪贴板上写字。 我们都跑向桑尼先生。 “这太棒了，”我对桑尼先生说。 “老兄，你一定会赢得比赛的。” “我很高兴竖起了这道栅栏，这样就没人能损坏我的沙石了，”桑尼说。 在那一刻，世界历史上最神奇的事情发生了。 “看，在天上！”安德里亚喊道。 “是一只鸟！”迈克尔喊道。 “是一架飞机！”尼尔喊道。

"No, it's somebody parasailing!" shouted. "It's… Mr. Granite!" Ryan shouted. Sure enough, that crazy, Australian, long-distance swimming, sand monster zombie guy was flying through the air with a parachute on his back. A boat in the water pulled him.

“不，是有人在玩伞！” “是……花岗岩先生！”瑞安喊道。 果然，那个疯狂的澳大利亚人，会长距离游泳的沙怪僵尸正背着降落伞在空中飞行。 水里的一条船拉着他。

"He's flying pretty low," Andrea said. "I hope he doesn't get hurt." Mr. Granite flew right over our heads. "Help! Help!" he shouted. "I can't control this thing!" Mr. Granite was swooping back and forth, up and down. It looked like he might slam into the beach. "Watch out!" somebody yelled. "Run for your lives!" shouted Neil the nude kid. Suddenly, Mr. Granite started dive-bombing toward the ground. He was right over our heads! We dived to get out of the way. "Oh no!" yelled Mr. Sunny. "He's going to hit—" Mr. Sunny never got the chance to finish his sentence. Because at that moment Mr. Granite landed right on top of Mr. Sunny's

“他飞得很低，”安德里亚说。 “我希望他不要受伤。” 花岗岩先生从我们头顶飞过。 “救命!救命！”他喊道。“我控制不了这东西！”格拉尼特先生来回地俯冲，上上下下。 看起来他可能会撞到海滩上。 “小心！”有人喊道。 “逃命！”裸体小孩尼尔喊道。 突然，格拉尼特先生开始向地面俯冲。 他就在我们头顶上！我们潜入水中闪开。 “哦，不！”阳光先生喊道。 “他要打——”桑尼先生还没来得及把话说完。 因为那一刻花岗岩先生正好落在了桑尼先生的上面

sand castle! BAM! Mr. Granite crushed it! I mean, it was totally flattened! Mr. Sunny's amazing sand castle looked like a big pile of sand again… with a pair of feet sticking out of the top. "WOW!" everybody said, which is "MOM" upside down. It was a real Kodak moment. And we got

沙堡!砰!花岗岩先生把它压碎了！我的意思是，它完全被夷为平地！桑尼先生令人惊叹的沙堡看起来又像一堆沙了，上面伸出了一双脚。 “哇！”每个人都说，这是“妈妈”的上下颠倒。 这是一个真正的柯达时刻。 我们得到

to see it live and in person. "My sanderpiece is ruined!" Mr. Sunny screamed. "Now I can't go to France to study sand sculpture! My life is over!" Mr. Sunny went running down the beach, shouting a bunch of French words that I didn't understand. He seemed pretty upset. I couldn't blame him. I'd be upset too if a shark chased me around and I almost drowned and some nutty parasailor crushed my totally awesome sand castle. But then, stuff like that happens all the time, you know. We were standing in front of Mr. Sunny's pile of sand when the judge with the tall Abraham Lincoln hat came over. "Excuse me," he said, "I heard there is a really amazing sand castle around here. But I don't see it. Can you tell me where it is?"

去现场亲眼看看。 “我的沙石毁了！”桑尼先生尖叫起来。 “现在我不能去法国学习沙雕了！”我的生活完了！”桑尼先生沿着海滩跑去，喊了一堆我听不懂的法语单词。 他看起来很沮丧。我不能怪他。 如果一条鲨鱼追着我到处跑，我差点淹死，某个疯子把我的沙堡给撞坏了，我也会很难过。 但是，这样的事情总是会发生的。 我们正站在桑尼先生的那堆沙子前面，这时法官带着一顶高高的亚伯拉罕·林肯式的帽子走了过来。 “对不起，”他说，“我听说这附近有一个非常神奇的沙堡。 但我看不出来。你能告诉我它在哪儿吗？”
