9. The Big Surprise Ending

9 The Big Surprise Ending Our teachers were going to be fired. The school was going to be shut down. Ms. Jo-Jo was having a major meltdown, kicking and screaming on the floor like a baby. I was going to be in third grade for the rest of my life. It was the worst day in the history of the world. My life was over.

我们的老师要被解雇了。 这所学校即将被关闭。 Jo-Jo女士已经崩溃了，像个婴儿一样在地板上又踢又叫。 我的余生都要在三年级度过了。 这是世界历史上最糟糕的一天。 我的生活结束了。

Nobody knew what to say. Nobody knew what to do. Somebody had to think fast. That's when Dr. Brad came running into the room. He took his watch out of his pocket, dangled it in front of Dr. Carbles's face, and began swinging it back and forth. "Look at zis," he said softly. "What are you doing?" Dr. Carbles asked, staring at the watch. "Eezn't zis shiny?" asked Dr. Brad. "Shiny..." mumbled Dr. Carbles. "Stare at zuh shiny vatch as eet svings back and forth... back and forth... back and forth," said Dr. Brad. "Back... and forth..." mumbled Dr. Carbles.

没人知道该说什么。没人知道该怎么办。 必须有人快速思考。 这时布拉德医生跑进了房间。 他从口袋里掏出手表，晃到医生面前。 Carbles的脸，并开始来回摆动它。 “看看这个，”他轻声说。 “你在干什么？”卡伯斯医生盯着表问。 “它不是很亮吗？” 布莱德。“闪闪发光……” Carbles。“盯着那只闪闪发光的手表，看着它来回摆动…… 来来回回……来来回回。” 布莱德。“回来…来回……” 卡伯斯博士咕哝道。

"Your eyelids are feeling a leetle heavy, no?" said Dr. Brad.

“你的眼皮有点沉，不是吗？” 布莱德。

"Heavy..." Dr. Carbles mumbled, like a robot. "Are you feeling zleepy?" asked Dr. Brad. "Sleepy..." "Zoon you vill be in a trance." "Trance..." It was working! Dr. Carbles was totally hypnotized!* We saw it with our own eyes! Well, it would be pretty hard to see it with somebody else's eyes. "You vill do everyzing I say," said Dr. Brad. "Everything you say..." mumbled Dr. Carbles. "And ven I snap my fingers, you vill vake up and not remember anyzing."

“重……”卡伯斯博士像个机器人一样咕哝着。 “你觉得昏昏欲睡吗？” 布莱德。“困……”“很快你就会进入恍惚状态。” “恍惚……”它起作用了！博士。 卡波斯完全被催眠了！我们亲眼看到的！用别人的眼睛是很难看到的。 “我说什么你就照做，”医生说。 布莱德。“你说的每一句话……” 卡伯斯博士咕哝道。“即使我打个响指，你也会醒来，什么都不记得。”

"Not remember anything..." "Dr. Carbles, you vill keep Ella

“什么都不记得了……” “卡伯斯医生，艾拉交给你吧

Mentry School open," said Dr. Brad. "Keep school open..." "None of zuh teachers vill be fired." "No firing..." That's when I got the greatest idea in the history of the world. I did something that I probably shouldn't have done. But I couldn't help it. I ran over and shouted at Dr. Carbles, "You think you're a chicken!" "Arlo, stop!" said Andrea. "That's not nice!" "I'm a chicken..." mumbled Dr. Carbles. "You need a place to lay your eggs," I shouted at him. "Lay eggs..." mumbled Dr. Carbles. "Bok bok bok!" Dr. Carbles made more chicken sounds. Then he started running around

学校开放。” 布莱德。“保持学校开放……” “我们的老师都不会被解雇。” “没有开火……”就在那时，我想到了世界历史上最伟大的主意。 我做了一件不该做的事。 但我没办法。我跑过去对着医生大喊大叫。 Carbles，“你以为你是一只鸡！”“阿乐，停下！”安德烈说。 “这可不好！”“我是一只鸡……” 卡伯斯博士咕哝道。“你需要一个产卵的地方，”我对他喊道。 “下蛋……”卡伯斯博士咕哝道。 “喂，喂，喂！”卡伯斯博士发出更多的鸡叫声。 然后他开始跑来跑去
