3 Hic-Trouble!

3 Hic-Trouble! When Violet and Leon got to class, they took their seats. Then Violet slipped Sprite inside her desk. She made sure no one saw him. "Hic. Are you all right?" Violet whispered.

3 Hic-Trouble !当维奥莱特和利昂到了教室，他们就坐了。 然后维奥莱特把雪碧塞进了她的桌子。 她确保没人看见他。 “嗝。你没事吧？”紫小声说。

Sprite stretched out on top of Violet's box of pencils. "There's not much to do here," Sprite whispered back. "But that's okay. I've got to think about how to trick Bogey Bill." Sprite took a tiny book from his bag. The Book of Tricks. The book told how to trick the escaped pixies. "Good luck. Hic!" Violet said. Suddenly, Violet got goose bumps on her arms. She shivered. Is Bogey Bill here? she wondered.

雪碧伸展在维奥莱特的铅笔盒上。 “这里没什么可做的。”雪碧小声回答。 “不过没关系。我得想想怎么骗过博吉·比尔。” 雪碧从包里拿出一本小书。 戏法书。这本书告诉我们如何欺骗逃跑的小精灵。 “祝你好运。嗝!”紫说。 突然，维奥莱特的手臂起了鸡皮疙瘩。 她哆嗦了一下。博吉·比尔在吗？ 她想知道。

Before she could get up and look for him, the bell rang. Their teacher, Ms. Rose, took attendance. Violet liked Ms. Rose. She always wore bright colors. And she smiled a lot. But today Ms. Rose wasn't smiling. She looked nervous. She tapped her fingers on the desk. "Leon, can you please go to the supply closet for me?" Ms. Rose asked. Leon looked scared. He stared at the closet door. He didn't move.

她还没来得及起身去找他，铃就响了。 他们的老师罗斯女士点了名。 维奥莱特喜欢罗斯女士。她总是穿亮色的衣服。 她笑了很多。但是今天，奥巴马夫人。 罗斯没有笑。她看上去很紧张。 她用手指轻敲桌子。 “里昂，你能帮我去一下储物柜吗？”Ms。 玫瑰问道。利昂看起来很害怕。 他盯着壁橱的门。 他没有动。

"Ms. Rose, do I have to?" Leon asked. "Is something wrong?" the teacher asked. "Uh, no," Leon said. He looked pale. "I—I just don't want to." Ms. Rose smiled nervously. "Who would like to open the closet door for me?" No one in the class answered. They all looked scared. Even Violet was scared, but she didn't know why.

“罗斯女士，我一定要这么做吗？”利昂问道。 “出什么事了吗？”老师问。 “呃，不，”利昂说。他脸色苍白。 “我——我只是不想。” 罗斯女士紧张地笑了。 “谁愿意为我打开壁橱的门？”班上没有人回答。 他们看起来都很害怕。就连维奥莱特也害怕了，但她不知道为什么。

Ms. Rose took a deep breath. "I guess I'll do it myself, then," she said. Ms. Rose walked to the closet. She grabbed the doorknob. Violet turned her head. She couldn't look. None of the kids in class could look, either. Ms. Rose slowly turned the knob. She opened the door. Then she smiled. "See, class?" she said. "Nothing to be scared of." Violet turned around. There was nothing in the closet but paper and paint.

罗斯深深地吸了一口气。 “那我想我还是自己来吧，”她说。 罗斯女士走向壁橱。 她抓住门把手。维奥莱特转过头来。 她不敢看。班上的孩子也都看不见。 罗斯慢慢地转动旋钮。 她打开了门。然后她笑了。 “看到了吗，同学们？”她说。“没什么好怕的。” 维奥莱特转过身来。壁橱里除了纸和油漆什么也没有。

Ms. Rose picked up some orange and black paper. "Today we will make Halloween decorations," the teacher told the class. She started to pass out the paper. Halloween decorations? Violet thought. She gasped. Bogey Bill must be near! He made us all feel afraid of the closet. And somehow he has made Ms. Rose think it's Halloween! Violet raised her hand. "Um, Ms. Rose, it's not Hallo-hic! Hic!" "Violet Briggs has the hiccups!" Evan Peters chanted. Ms. Rose frowned. "It's not nice to tease, Evan. Please apologize to Violet." Evan rolled his eyes. "Sorry, Violet. Hic!" Some of the kids giggled.

罗斯女士拿起一些橙色和黑色的纸。 “今天我们要做万圣节的装饰品，”老师对同学们说。 她开始分发报纸。 万圣节装饰品吗?紫色的想法。 她喘着气。妖怪比尔一定在附近！他让我们都对壁橱感到害怕。 不知怎么的，他让希拉里。 罗斯，这是万圣节！维奥莱特举起了手。 “嗯，罗丝女士，这不是万圣节！”嗝!”“维奥莱特·布里格斯打嗝了！”埃文·彼得斯喊道。 罗斯皱起了眉头。“开玩笑可不好，埃文。 请向维奥莱特道歉。” 埃文翻了个白眼。“对不起,紫色。 嗝!”有些孩子咯咯地笑。
