14. Watery Hand

WATERY HAND 14 Sam hung by a thread from the monstrous curtain. He was about to be grabbed by the enormous hand. But wait! Sam remembered something. That morning, Ms. Grinker had said, "Today's weather will be the hottest ever." Sam tightened his grip on the curtain, and then he tugged! The curtain tore. The entire curtain fell to the ground— along with Sam.

山姆被一根线吊在巨大的窗帘上。 他马上就要被那只大手抓住了。 但是等等!山姆想起了什么。 那天早上，格林克说：“今天的天气将是有史以来最热的。” 萨姆把窗帘抓得更紧了，然后他使劲拉！窗帘撕破了。 整个窗帘都掉到了地上——连同萨姆一起。

Sunlight poured through the window. Hot rays of sunlight were shining directly on the watery hand. The hand pulled back as though it were in pain. Steam started rising off of it. The sun's heat was turning the water into steam! The school howled!

阳光从窗户射进来。 炽热的阳光直射在那只湿漉漉的手上。 那只手缩回来，好像很痛似的。 蒸汽开始从上面升起。 太阳的热量把水变成了蒸汽！学校里一片哀嚎！

But still, the hand reached for Sam. It was hurt, weakened but not beaten. If I could just bring down the other curtains in here, the sunlight would destroy the hand, thought Sam. But I'm cornered. Watery fingers were about to grab Sam. SLAM.

但那只手还是伸向了山姆。 它受伤了，被削弱了，但没有被打败。 如果我能把这边的窗帘拉下来，阳光会把我的手晒坏的，山姆想。 但我走投无路了。湿漉漉的手指要抓住萨姆。 大满贯。

Lucy and antonio burst into the lunchroom. "We're coming, Sam!" they yelled. "Pull down those curtains!" Sam shouted. "Quick!"

露西和安东尼奥冲进了午餐室。 “我们来了，萨姆！”他们喊道。 “把窗帘拉下来！”萨姆喊道。 “快!”

Antonio and Lucy didn't know what Sam's plan was, but they trusted him. Antonio tugged on one curtain! Lucy grabbed another! Soon, even more sunlight flooded the room!

安东尼奥和露西不知道山姆的计划是什么，但他们信任他。 安东尼奥拉开了一块窗帘！露茜又抓了一个！很快，房间里充满了更多的阳光！

The watery hand was almost beaten! Sam just needed to deliver the final blow. He spotted a metal cooking tray on the floor. Metal reflects light! thought Sam. Sam stepped on the edge of the tray, popping it up into the air like a skateboard. He snatched it and held it up to the sunlight. A white-hot beam of light bounced off the metal, toward the hand. HISSSS!!!! The hand of Eerie Elementary screamed! It shook! Steam clouded the air. And then

那只湿漉漉的手几乎被打败了！山姆只需要给他最后一击。 他发现地板上有一个金属烹饪盘。 金属反射光！认为山姆。 山姆踩到托盘边缘，把它像滑板一样弹到空中。 他一把抓住它，把它举到阳光下。 一束白热的光从金属上反弹过来，射向那只手。 HISSSS ! !怪诞小学的手尖叫起来！它震动!蒸汽使空气变得浑浊。 然后
