1 The Lockdown!

Mrs. Lizzy Is Dizzy!

丽萃太太晕了！

Chapter 1 The Lockdown! My name is A.J. and I hate school. It was Friday, one of my favorite days of the week. Do you know why Friday is one of my favorite days? Because the next day is Saturday. And then comes Sunday. And on Saturday and Sunday there's no school. Yay! My teacher is Mr. Granite. He's from another planet, but he's always talking about our environment. "Always recycle your plastic bottles," Mr. Granite told us. "Because plastic bottles can be made into plastic lawn furniture. And plastic lawn furniture can be made back into plastic bottles. And plastic bottles and plastic lawn furniture can be made into

第一章封锁！我叫A.J. 我讨厌学校。那是星期五，一周中我最喜欢的日子之一。 你知道为什么星期五是我最喜欢的日子之一吗？ 因为第二天是星期六。 然后是星期天。星期六和星期天不上学。 耶!我的老师是花岗岩先生。 他来自另一个星球，但他总是谈论我们的环境。 “一定要回收你的塑料瓶，”格拉尼特先生告诉我们。 “因为塑料瓶可以制成塑料草坪家具。 塑料草坪家具可以重新制成塑料瓶。 并可制成塑料瓶和塑料草坪家具

plastic cup holders, so you can relax and drink from a plastic bottle while you're sitting on your plastic lawn furniture. And plastic…" Mr. Granite didn't get the chance to finish his sentence because at that very moment the school secretary, Mrs. Patty, made an announcement over the loudspeaker. "Attention," she said, "Dr. Emer is in the building." "Dr. Emer is in the building!" shouted Michael, who never ties his shoes. "Dr. Emer is in the building!" shouted Ryan, who will eat anything, even stuff that isn't food. "Dr. Emer is in the building!" shouted Neil, who we call the nude kid even though he wears clothes. "Dr. Emer is in the building!" shouted

塑料杯架，这样当你坐在塑料草坪家具上时，你就可以放松地用塑料瓶喝水了。 格拉尼特先生还没来得及把话说完，因为就在这时，学校秘书帕蒂夫人通过扩音器宣布了一件事。 “请注意，”她说。 埃默在大楼里。””博士。 埃默在大楼里！”迈克尔喊道，他从来不系鞋带。 “emdr在这栋楼里！”Ryan喊道，他什么都吃，甚至不是食物的东西。 “埃姆医生在大楼里！”尼尔喊道，尽管他穿着衣服，我们还是称他为裸体孩子。 “埃默博士在大楼里！

Andrea Young, this annoying girl with curly brown hair who I hate. Everybody was freaking out! "Who's Dr. Emer?" I asked. "'Emer' is short for 'emergency,' Arlo!" said Andrea. (She calls me by my real name because she knows I don't like it.) "You probably weren't paying attention when they told us about Dr. Emer." "I wasn't paying attention to your face," I told Andrea. "It's a lockdown, A.J.!" said Ryan. "That's what it means when they announce that Dr. Emer is in the building." Oh, yeah! Now I remember. Lockdowns are cool. Just in case a bad guy ever breaks into the school, we have to lock our classroom door, turn off the lights, sit on the floor in the corner, and stay really quiet until the lockdown is over.*

安德里亚·杨，那个我讨厌的棕色卷发女孩。 每个人都吓坏了！“谁是博士。 埃米尔?”我问。“‘Emer’是‘emergency’的缩写，阿乐！”安德烈说。 （她叫我的真名，因为她知道我不喜欢这样。）“当他们告诉我们关于史密斯博士的事情时，你可能没有注意到。 埃米尔。”“我没注意到你的脸，”我告诉安德里亚。 “这是一级防范禁闭，A.J.!” “这就是当他们宣布。 埃默在大楼里。”哦,耶!现在我想起来了。 封锁很酷。为了防止坏人闯入学校，我们必须锁上教室的门，关掉灯，坐在角落的地板上，保持非常安静，直到封锁结束

We all rushed over to the corner. Mr. Granite locked the door. He made us sit boy-girl-boy-girl so we wouldn't talk to each other. I had to sit next to Andrea Young. Ugh, disgusting! "Everyone stay calm," said Mr. Granite. We all sat without talking for like a million hundred seconds. "Can we whisper now?" I finally asked. "Okay," Mr. Granite said, "but quietly." "I heard on TV that a crazy person escaped from the loony bin last week," I whispered. "Really?" whispered Emily, who is Andrea's crybaby friend. "You shouldn't say 'crazy person,' Arlo," whispered Andrea. "My mother is a psychologist. She told me we should say 'psychotic.'" "Maybe the psycho who escaped from

我们都冲到角落里。 格拉尼特先生锁上门。 他让我们坐成男女同坐，这样我们就不会说话了。 我不得不坐在安德里亚·杨旁边。 啊,真恶心!“大家保持冷静，”格拉尼特说。 我们都一言不发地坐了好几百万秒。 “我们现在可以小声说话了吗？”我终于问道。 “好吧，”格拉尼特先生说，“但要安静。” “我在电视上听说上星期有个疯子从疯人院逃了出来，”我低声说。 “真的吗？”艾米丽小声说，她是安德里亚爱哭的朋友。 “你不该说‘疯子’，阿乐。”安德烈低声说。 “我妈妈是一名心理学家。 她告诉我我们应该说“精神病”。’”“也许是那个从

the loony bin is inside our school right now!" said Michael. "Maybe it's a zombie psycho," said Ryan. "Maybe it's a zombie cannibal psycho," said Neil. "Maybe it's a zombie cannibal psycho who eats kids for breakfast!" I said. "Shhhhhhhhhhh!" said Mr. Granite. "Stop trying to scare Emily," whispered Andrea. Emily is such a scaredy-cat. I bet she would have run out of the room if we

疯人院现在就在我们学校里！”迈克尔说。 “也许是一个僵尸疯子，”瑞恩说。 “也许是一个僵尸食人狂，”尼尔说。 “也许是一个吃人僵尸的疯子，把孩子当早餐吃！”我说。 “嘘——”格拉尼特先生说。 “别吓唬艾米丽了，”安德里亚低声说。 艾米丽真是个胆小鬼。 我打赌她会跑出房间，如果我们
