ALMOST EERIE DAY 1 "These pumpkins are small!" Sam Graves said. "I wish we were carving huge ones." Every student in school was gathered in the cafeteria for a special lunchtime activity. They were carving pumpkins for the upcoming Eerie Day celebration. Eerie Day was a local holiday, celebrating the history of the town of Eerie.

“这些南瓜真小！”山姆·格雷夫斯说。 “我希望我们能雕刻出巨大的雕像。” 学校里的每个学生都聚集在自助餐厅参加一个特别的午餐活动。 他们在雕刻南瓜，为即将到来的恐怖日庆祝活动做准备。 怪诞日是当地的节日，庆祝怪诞镇的历史。

Sam's friend Antonio grinned. "Eerie Day is one good thing about living here," he said. "We get, like, two Halloweens each year!" "And this year, Eerie Day falls on a Friday," their friend Lucy said. "That means we can stay up late! We won't have to rush home! Best of all— it's only two days away!" "My favorite part is the Eerie Day haunted house!" Antonio said. He leaned over and whispered, "I'm not sure why, but I have a feeling that this year's haunted house will be extra scary." Sam pointed at Lucy's pumpkin and laughed. "Is that one of Antonio's famous sandwiches?" Lucy nodded. "Yep!"

山姆的朋友安东尼奥咧嘴一笑。 “怪诞日是住在这里的一件好事，”他说。 “我们每年都过两次万圣节！”他们的朋友露西说：“今年，怪诞日是在星期五。” “那意味着我们可以熬夜了！”我们就不用急着回家了！最妙的是——只有两天了！”“我最喜欢的部分是怪诞日的鬼屋！”安东尼奥说。 他俯下身，低声说：“我不知道为什么，但我有一种感觉，今年的鬼屋会格外可怕。” 萨姆指着露西的南瓜笑了。 “那是安东尼奥著名的三明治吗？”露西点点头。 “是的!”

She had carved the outline of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich into her pumpkin. Antonio always carried a PB and J in his pocket. "Two can play at that game!" Antonio said. He carved big, round eyes into his pumpkin. "This is how wide your eyes will be at the haunted house because you'll be so scared!" When Sam looked down at his pumpkin, he gasped. He had unknowingly carved a mustache into it! The mustache curled up like Orson Eerie's.

她在南瓜上刻了一个花生酱和果冻三明治的轮廓。 安东尼奥总是在他的口袋里带着一个PB和J。 “两个人玩这个游戏！”安东尼奥说。 他在南瓜上刻了又大又圆的眼睛。 “到鬼屋时，你的眼睛会睁得这么大，因为你会很害怕！”当萨姆低头看着他的南瓜时，他倒吸了一口气。 他不知不觉地在上面刻了个小胡子！他的胡子像奥森·怪诞一样卷起来。

Orson Eerie was the mad scientist who had built Eerie Elementary almost a hundred years ago. He was part of the Eerie family that founded the town. But Orson Eerie didn't deserve to be celebrated on Eerie Day he was evil! He found a way to live forever he became the school. The school was alive! Eerie Elementary was a living, breathing thing that fed on students. Sam was the school hall monitor. Lucy and Antonio were assistant hall monitors. Together, they kept the students and teachers safe. Just then, a strange feeling crawled through Sam. As hall monitor, Sam could feel when something bad was going to happen.

奥森·怪诞是一个疯狂的科学家，他在大约一百年前建立了怪诞小学。 他是建立这个小镇的怪诞家族的一员。 但奥森·怪诞不值得在怪诞日庆祝，他是邪恶的！他找到了一条长生不老的路——他成为了学校。 学校充满了活力！怪诞小学是一个以学生为食的活生生的东西。 萨姆是学校大厅的班长。 露西和安东尼奥是大厅的助理监督员。 他们一起保护了学生和老师的安全。 就在这时，一种奇怪的感觉爬上了山姆的心头。 作为大厅管理员，萨姆能感觉到什么不好的事情要发生。

Suddenly— Sam's pumpkin leapt off the table! Antonio's and Lucy's did, too! Students and teachers screamed, "AHHHHH!" The pumpkins were coming to life! Their carved mouths chomped open and closed! Monstrous pumpkins leapt through the air. Some rolled after teachers. Others chased after students. Antonio exclaimed, "We're under attack!"

突然，萨姆的南瓜从桌子上跳了下来！安东尼奥和露茜的也一样！学生和老师都尖叫起来：“啊啊啊啊！”南瓜活过来了！他们雕刻的嘴咬开又合上！巨大的南瓜在空中跳跃。 有些人跟着老师打滚。 其他人追逐学生。 安东尼奥喊道：“我们遭到攻击了！”
