13. The Horror!

THE HORROR! 13 From his spot, Sam could see the zigzagged path they would need to take to escape the maze. He tried to take a picture of every twist and turn with his mind. They needed to take a left after the swings, a right before the tetherball, continue past the slides, and then take a final right after the merry-go-round. Then they'd finally be at the school steps! "We can do this!" Sam cried. "Let's go!"

恐怖!从他的位置上，萨姆可以看到他们要走出迷宫需要走的弯弯曲曲的小路。 他试图用脑子把每一个转折都拍下来。 他们需要在秋千后左转，在绳球前右转，继续经过滑梯，然后在旋转木马后最后右转。 然后他们终于到了学校的台阶！“我们能做到！”萨姆喊道。 “我们走吧!”

"We'll be out of this creepy-crawly maze in no time!" Antonio said. The three friends raced through the maze. Eerie Elementary knew that Sam and his friends were close to escaping. The monstrous school did everything it could to stop them. Vines lashed out at them. The ground became wet and mucky. Sam, Lucy, and Antonio just kept running. "Left!" Sam called out as they raced past the howling swings. "Next right!" Sam shouted as they dove beneath the whirling tetherball.

“我们很快就会走出这个令人毛骨悚然的迷宫！”安东尼奥说。 三个朋友跑过了迷宫。 怪诞小学知道山姆和他的朋友们就要逃跑了。 这所可怕的学校竭尽全力阻止他们。 藤蔓猛烈地向他们袭来。地面变得又湿又脏。 山姆、露西和安东尼奥一直在跑。 “留下!”当他们跑过呼啸的秋千时，萨姆喊道。 “下一个!”当他们俯冲到旋转的绳球下面时，萨姆喊道。

"Around this corner!" Sam yelled as they dashed past the merry-go-round. Finally, they were out. They burst free from the maze. The school steps were just ahead of them. "We did it!" Lucy shouted. "We escaped!"

“就在这个拐角处！”当他们冲过旋转木马时，萨姆喊道。 最后，他们出去了。他们冲出了迷宫。 学校的台阶就在他们前面。 “我们成功了！”露西喊。 “我们逃!”

The steps were just a few feet away. But what Sam saw next almost made his heart stop. The entire jungle gym had come to life! The huge wooden and plastic structure was as tall as a house— and it was marching toward the school. Sam gulped. He had been right: Orson Eerie had led Sam and his friends into the swamp on purpose to distract them from his REAL plan. Orson Eerie was going to use the jungle gym to march inside the school! He was going to feast on students!

台阶只有几英尺远。 但是萨姆接下来看到的几乎让他的心跳停止了。 整个攀爬架都活了起来！这个由木头和塑料组成的巨大建筑有房子那么高，它正向学校方向行进。 山姆一饮而尽。他是对的：奥森·怪异故意把山姆和他的朋友带到沼泽里，分散他们对他真正计划的注意力。 奥森·怪诞打算利用攀爬架进入学校！他要吃学生！
