8. What’s in Mrs. Barr’s Suitcase

8 What's in Mrs. Barr's Suitcase? When I left Dr. Brad's office, I went to the vomitorium, where everybody was eating lunch. We all had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, because that's the law. "What did Dr. Brad say to you?" asked Ryan. "Nothing," I replied. "He just wanted

巴尔夫人的手提箱里有什么？ 当我离开布拉德医生的办公室时，我去了食堂，那里的人都在吃午饭。 我们都吃花生酱和果冻三明治，因为这是法律规定。 “布拉德医生对你说了什么？”瑞恩问。 “没什么，”我回答。“他只是想

to tell me that his name is Frank." "So I guess you still think Mrs. Barr is a jewel thief?" asked Alexia. "Sure I do," I said. "I can prove it to you." "How?" everybody asked. "All we need to do is look inside that suitcase she pulls around," I said. "Come on, follow me." We cleaned off our plates and left the vomitorium. I didn't know where Mrs. Barr was, but she had to be around the school somewhere. We just had to find her. "Shhhhhh!" I said as we sneaked down the hallway. We sneaked around like secret agents, peeking into classrooms. It was cool. I love sneaking around pretending to be a spy. "What are we gonna do when we find her?" asked Neil.

告诉我他叫弗兰克。” “所以我猜你仍然认为巴尔夫人是一个珠宝大盗？”亚历克西娅问。 “我当然知道，”我说。“我可以证明给你看。” “怎么做？”大家都问。“我们要做的就是看看她拉来拉去的手提箱里有什么，”我说。 “来吧，跟我来。”我们把盘子洗干净，离开了食堂。 我不知道巴尔夫人在哪里，但她一定在学校附近的某个地方。 我们只需要找到她。“Shhhhhh !”我们偷偷地走在走廊上，我说。 我们像特工一样鬼鬼祟祟地偷看教室。 很酷。我喜欢鬼鬼祟祟地假装自己是间谍。 “我们找到她后该怎么办？”尼尔问。

"One of us needs to distract her," I told him, "while the others open her suitcase and see what's inside." "I think that's an invasion of privacy," whispered Andrea. "Your face is an invasion of privacy!" I whispered back. We sneaked around for a million

“我们得有一个人分散她的注意力，”我告诉他，“其他人打开她的手提箱，看看里面是什么。” “我认为这是对隐私的侵犯，”安德里亚低声说。 “你的脸是对隐私的侵犯！”我小声回答。 我们偷偷摸摸地赚了一百万

hundred minutes. No sign of Mrs. Barr. "This is silly, Arlo," said Andrea. "She probably went out for lunch." "She's hiding," I said, sneaking around a corner. "She must know we're after her." That's when the weirdest thing in the history of the world happened. We came to a door. Well, that's not the weird part. We come to doors all the time. The weird part was what happened next. The door was to a broom closet where our custodian, Miss Lazar, keeps cleaning supplies and stuff. There was a noise on the other side of the door. It sounded like snoring. "Shhhhhh!" I shhhhh-ed. "What's that?" "I didn't hear anything," said Michael. I put my hand on the doorknob. I was

几百分钟。没有巴尔夫人的踪迹。 “这太愚蠢了，阿乐。”安德烈说。 “她可能出去吃午饭了。” “她躲起来了，”我说着，偷偷溜过一个角落。 “她一定知道我们在追她。” 就在那时，世界历史上最奇怪的事情发生了。 我们来到一扇门前。这还不是奇怪的地方。 我们经常上门拜访。 最奇怪的是接下来发生的事情。 这扇门通向一个扫帚间，我们的保管人拉扎尔小姐放清洁用品和其他东西。 门的另一边有声音。 听起来像鼾声。“Shhhhhh !”我shhhhh-ed。 “那是什么?”“我什么也没听到，”迈克尔说。 我把手放在门把手上。 我是

afraid to open it because in scary movies every time somebody opens a door a monster jumps out. But I gathered up my courage and pulled open the door. And you'll never believe in a million hundred years what we found in the closet. I'm not going to tell you. Okay, okay, I'll tell you. It was Mrs. Barr! And she was lying on a cot, sleeping!

不敢打开它，因为在恐怖电影里每次有人打开一扇门，就会跳出一个怪物。 但我还是鼓起勇气，拉开了门。 你绝对不会相信我们在衣橱里发现了什么。 我不会告诉你的。 好吧，好吧，我告诉你。 是巴尔夫人！她躺在小床上睡着了！

"This is our chance!" I whispered. "Let's see what's inside her suitcase. I bet

“这是我们的机会！”我低声说。 “让我们看看她的手提箱里有什么。” 我敢打赌
