13. Pump the Brakes!

PUMP THE BRAKES! 13 In an instant, the entire tour group was racing toward the exit. It was a stampede. "This way!" Antonio cried, as he flung open the door. The group raced outside to safety. Then— KLANG! The door LEAPT from Antonio's hand and snapped shut. He tugged— but it wouldn't budge.

踩刹车！刹那间，整个旅游团都奔向出口。 那是一场踩踏。“这样!”安东尼奥喊道，他猛地打开了门。 这群人跑到安全的地方。 然后——巴生!门从安东尼奥手中一跃而过，啪的一声关上了。 他使劲拉，但它不动。

"Come on! We can escape out the main exit," Sam cried, pulling his friends down another hallway. The pumpkin charged after the hall monitors. Sam raced down the long halls. If they could just stay ahead of the monstrous pumpkin... But WHAM! BAM! The huge pumpkin slammed into Lucy and Antonio. They were knocked to the side. Sam wanted to run back to them. But he couldn't because the pumpkin was still barreling toward him!

“来吧!我们可以从主要出口逃出去，”萨姆喊道，拉着他的朋友们穿过另一条走廊。 南瓜冲向大厅的监视器。 萨姆跑过长长的大厅。 如果他们能赶在大南瓜前面…… 但重打!砰!巨大的南瓜撞到了露西和安东尼奥身上。 他们被撞到了一边。 萨姆想跑回他们身边。 但是他做不到，因为南瓜还在向他滚来滚去！

Finally, Sam threw himself into the exit doors. He felt his sash tremble. Orson was growing weaker. Weak enough that KLANG! The doors opened! Sam stumbled down the school steps. He saw people watching. Everyone could see what was happening! The monstrous pumpkin bounced down the steps after Sam. Sam scurried backward. "You won't win, Orson."

最后，萨姆跳进了出口的门。 他感到腰带在颤抖。奥森越来越虚弱。 弱到KLANG！门开了！萨姆跌跌撞撞地走下学校的台阶。 他看到人们在看。每个人都能看到发生了什么！巨大的南瓜跟着萨姆跳下台阶。 萨姆急忙后退。“你赢不了的，奥森。”

"Creating more hall monitors was clever, Sam Graves," Orson said. "But without Lucy and Antonio, you cannot overpower me. You are strong— but not strong enough! Mr. Nekobi was a better hall monitor than you!" A thought sprang into Sam's head. Mr. Nekobi's sash! Sam reached into his bag and yanked out the box Mr. Nekobi had given him that morning.

“萨姆·格雷夫斯，制造更多的大厅监视器是聪明的，”奥森说。 “但是没有露西和安东尼奥，你就无法战胜我。 你很坚强——但还不够坚强！奈柯比先生当厅长比你还好！”一个念头突然出现在萨姆的脑海里。 Nekobi先生的腰带！山姆把手伸进包里，拿出了那天早上内科比先生给他的盒子。

The pumpkin flinched. It rolled to a stop. "What is that?" Orson asked. Sam opened the box and grabbed the old sash. It felt warm in his hands. There was power in its threads. Sam could feel it making him stronger! The monster's glowing eyes flashed with anger. Then its huge mouth opened wide. Sam felt Orson's hot breath on his face. He closed his eyes and braced for the bite!

南瓜畏缩了。它滚动着停了下来。 “那是什么？”奥森问道。 萨姆打开盒子，抓起那条旧腰带。 在他手里感觉很暖和。 它的线里有力量。 萨姆能感觉到它让他变得更强壮了！怪物的眼睛里闪烁着愤怒的光芒。 然后它的大嘴张得大大的。 山姆感觉到奥森的热气吹在他脸上。 他闭上眼睛，做好被咬的准备！
