9 The Big Surprise Ending

9 The Big Surprise Ending WHAT?! An intruder? This was serious. We all rushed to line up in single file. Andrea was the line leader. Ryan was the door holder. Mr. Cooper looked worried as we hurried down the hall and walked a million hundred miles to the all-porpoise room. Nobody was talking or making jokes. All the classes

大惊喜结束什么？！入侵者? 这很严重。我们都冲过去排成一个纵队。 安德里亚是领队。 赖安是看门的。当我们匆匆走过大厅，走了一百多英里来到全是海豚的房间时，库珀先生看起来很担心。 没有人说话或开玩笑。 所有的课程

from kindergarten to fifth grade filed into the room. "What's going on?" I heard Mr. Cooper ask Officer Spence. "I was watching the security cameras," replied Officer Spence, "and I spotted a suspicious-looking person wearing a mask lurking around the playground." While we took our seats, Officer Spence went over and locked the doors of the all-porpoise room. Then he locked the windows and closed the shades. Finally, he turned off the lights. It was completely dark in the all-porpoise room. I couldn't see my own hand in front of my face. "Okay, everyone stay low and stay quiet," said Officer Spence. "Stay away from windows and doors. Teachers, please silence your cell phones."

从幼儿园到五年级的学生鱼贯而入。 “发生什么事了？”我听到库珀先生问斯宾思警官。 “我当时在看监控摄像头，”斯宾塞警官回答说，“我发现一个戴着面具的形迹可疑的人潜伏在操场周围。” 当我们落座时，斯宾塞警官走过去，锁上了全是海豚的房间的门。 然后他锁上窗户，拉上窗帘。 最后，他关上了灯。 全是海豚的房间里一片漆黑。 我看不见自己的手在我面前。 “好了，大家保持低调，保持安静，”斯宾塞警官说。 “远离窗户和门。 老师们，请把手机调成静音。”

"I'm scared," whimpered Emily. For once in her life, Emily had a good reason to be scared. We were all scared. "Everything is going to be all right," said Officer Spence. "Stay calm. I will protect you." We all got quiet. Mrs. Stoker looked like she might be tempted to crack a

“我害怕，”爱米丽呜咽着说。 这是艾米丽有生以来第一次有理由害怕。 我们都很害怕。“一切都会好起来的，”斯宾塞警官说。 “保持冷静。我会保护你的。” 我们都安静了下来。斯托克太太看起来好像很想

joke, but she stopped herself. After a million hundred minutes, I heard some footsteps in the hallway outside the all-porpoise room. "Who's that?" somebody whispered. "Shhhhhhhh!" The footsteps were getting closer. And closer. And closer. And closer. And closer. And closer. And closer. Okay, we get it. And closer. And closer. And closer. And closer. Knock it off already. And closer. And closer.

开玩笑，但她忍住了。 过了一百多分钟，我听到全是海豚的房间外面的走廊里传来了脚步声。 “那是谁？”有人小声问。 “Shhhhhhhh !”脚步声越来越近了。 越来越近。越来越近。越来越近。 越来越近。越来越近。越来越近。 好了，我们明白了。越来越近。 越来越近。越来越近。越来越近。 别闹了。越来越近。 越来越近。

And closer. And then, there was a knock at the door. "Don't answer it!" somebody whispered. There was another knock at the door. A louder knock. "They're gonna break down the door!" somebody whispered. "Speaking of doors," said Mrs. Stoker, "the other day, a policeman knocked on my door and told me my dogs were chasing people on bikes. That's crazy! My dogs don't know how to ride bikes." "Shhhhh!" shushed Officer Spence. "Mrs. Stoker should really stop cracking jokes," whispered Andrea. "This is a serious situation." "Let me in!" somebody shouted from the other side of the door.

越来越近。然后，有人敲门。 “别接！”有人小声说。 又有人敲门。 更大声的敲门声。“他们要破门而入！”有人低声说。 “说到门，”斯托克太太说，“前几天，一个警察敲我的门，告诉我我的狗在追骑自行车的人。 这太疯狂了!我的狗不知道怎么骑自行车。” “嘘！”斯宾塞警官嘘了一声。 “斯托克太太真该停止开玩笑了，”安德烈低声说。 “情况很严重。” “让我进去！”有人在门的另一边喊道。

Then there was banging on the door. "Open up!" the person shouted from the other side of the door. Mrs. Stoker looked like she was going to crack another joke, but Officer Spence put one finger in front of his lips. "Shhhhh!" he whispered. "Don't make a sound!" We were all on pins and needles. Well, not really. That would have hurt. We were just sitting there in the dark. But it was intense. Well, not exactly. We weren't in tents. We were sitting on seats. It sounded like the person on the other side of the door was trying to pick the lock with a screwdriver or something. Officer Spence rushed over to the door. And then suddenly, the door swung

然后有人在敲门。 “开门！”那人从门的另一边喊道。 斯托克太太似乎又要开个玩笑，但斯宾塞警官把一根手指放在嘴唇前。 “嘘——”他低声说。“别出声！”我们都如坐针毡。 嗯，不完全是。那会很痛苦的。 我们只是在黑暗中坐在那里。 但气氛很紧张。嗯，不完全是。 我们没有住在帐篷里。我们坐在座位上。 听起来像是门那边的人在用螺丝刀之类的东西撬锁。 斯宾塞警官冲到门口。 突然，门开了
