13. Worm Mouth

13 WORM MOUTH SWISSHH!! The big red curtains swooshed shut. The audience gasped. They could no longer see the stage. A closet door banged open behind Sam. Then the floorboards lifted up to form a slide. Ms. Grinker and the other students tumbled backward into the closet.

13 .虫嘴嘶嘶！！红色的大窗帘嗖地一声关上了。 观众倒吸了一口气。他们再也看不到舞台了。 萨姆身后的壁橱门砰的一声打开了。 然后地板抬起形成一个滑梯。 格林克女士和其他学生倒进了壁橱。

From offstage, Mr. Nekobi yelled, "Sam! It's happening!" He ran toward Sam. But the curtain ropes grabbed hold of him. The ropes flung Mr. Nekobi inside the closet, too. The door snapped shut. Next, the lights went out. Only one spotlight stayed on. It was pointed at Sam, Lucy, and Antonio. The audience can't see the stage, and the teachers and students are trapped in the closet! Sam thought. I'm the only one who can save everyone!

内科比在台下喊道：“山姆！它发生的!”他向萨姆跑去。 但是窗帘的绳子把他拉住了。 绳子把Nekobi先生也扔进了壁橱。 门啪的一声关上了。接着，灯灭了。 只有一个聚光灯还在。 枪对准了山姆、露西和安东尼奥。 观众看不见舞台，师生被困在壁橱里！山姆想。 我是唯一能拯救所有人的人！

The chair mouth began to climb up out of its hole in the floor— like a worm coming up out of the ground!

椅子的嘴开始从地板上的洞里爬出来——就像一条从地下爬出来的虫子！

Lucy and Antonio began kicking and screaming. "What is that?!" Lucy yelled. Antonio thrashed on his wire, trying to get away from the huge teeth. As he swung, his lucky peanut butter and jelly sandwich slipped from his pocket. It fell down into the giant mouth. The sandwich splattered against the chair teeth.

露茜和安东尼奥开始又踢又叫。 “那是什么？！”露西喊道。 安东尼奥使劲地甩着他的铁丝，试图摆脱那些巨大的牙齿。 当他摇摆时，他的幸运花生酱和果冻三明治从他的口袋里滑了出来。 它掉进了巨大的嘴里。 三明治溅到了椅子的牙齿上。

Sam got an idea. "I'll be back!" he shouted up to his friends. "Don't leave us, Sam!" Lucy cried. She was fiddling with her wire, trying to untie herself. "Just trust me," Sam said. He leapt over the giant mouth. Everyone in the audience gasped as Sam jumped out from behind the closed curtain. He sprinted out of the dark auditorium and into the hallway.

萨姆有了一个主意。“我会回来的！”他冲着朋友们喊道。 “别离开我们，萨姆！”露西哭了。 她在摆弄她的金属丝，想把自己解开。 “相信我，”萨姆说。 他跳过了巨大的嘴巴。 当山姆从紧闭的幕布后面跳出来时，所有的观众都倒吸了一口气。 他冲出漆黑的礼堂，冲进走廊。

When Sam reached the end of the hall, he pushed open the lunchroom door. It was quiet and dark, but as soon as Sam stepped inside, the lunchroom came alive. The chairs shook. The long tables buckled up and down, and the ceiling lamps swung. A deep moaning sound came from a speaker on the wall. Eerie Elementary was howling. MMMUURRRGHHHHHHHH!!!

当萨姆走到大厅尽头时，他推开了餐厅的门。 餐厅里安静而黑暗，但山姆一走进去，整个餐厅就活跃起来了。 椅子摇晃着。长桌上下弯曲，天花板上的灯摇摆不定。 墙上的喇叭里传出了低沉的呻吟声。 怪诞小学在嚎叫。 MMMUURRRGHHHHHHHH ! !
