11. The Science Fair Disaster

THE SCIENCE FAIR DISASTER 11 Water poured down like in a hurricane! Smoke from a student's battery project had caused the sprinkler system to turn on.

科学博览会灾难11水像飓风一样倾泻而下！一名学生的电池项目产生的烟雾导致喷水灭火系统启动。

Sam and his friends stared out at the huge room. It was madness! The lights flickered and the walls moaned. The floor rumbled and the bleachers howled. A chill ran down Sam's spine.

萨姆和他的朋友们盯着外面的大房间。 这太疯狂了！灯光闪烁，墙壁呻吟。 地板轰隆作响，看台上的人嚎叫着。 一股寒意顺着萨姆的脊背流下来。

"We have to find my backpack," Sam said. "The book is in there!" He rushed over to his project. The volcano was flipped onto its side. He peeked over it. Sam smiled as he saw his backpack behind the table. But it was unzipped again. "No!" he cried, grabbing the backpack. The book was gone. "Find that book!" Sam yelled.

“我们得找到我的背包，”萨姆说。 “书在里面！”他急忙去做他的项目。 火山被掀翻了。 他从上面偷看了一眼。山姆看到桌子后面的背包，笑了。 但是拉链又被拉开了。 “不！”他喊道，一把抓住背包。 书不见了。“找到那本书！”萨姆喊道。

The friends searched the room. Their eyes looked over everything, but it was hard to see. Smoke filled the air. Water dripped from the sprinklers. Experiments bubbled over. There were big popping sounds and small snapping explosions. "There!" Lucy finally exclaimed, pointing. They all saw it. And they all gasped... The book was sliding across the gym floor, toward the center of the room. It was being moved by the power of Eerie Elementary.

朋友们搜遍了房间。 他们的眼睛看遍了一切，但很难看清。 空气中弥漫着烟雾。水从洒水器上滴下来。 实验层出不穷。有很大的爆裂声和很小的爆裂声。 “有!”露茜终于指指点点地叫道。 他们都看到了。他们都倒吸了一口气…… 那本书正滑过体育馆的地板，朝房间中央滑去。 它被怪诞小学的力量所感动。

Sam charged toward the book. "Come on, guys!" As they ran, the ground began to tremble and shake. "Another earthquake?!" Antonio shrieked. The large wooden floorboards began to shift. The floor started to split apart. Pipes and wires burst from below. "This is no earthquake!" Sam shouted. "It's a volcano!"

萨姆向那本书冲去。 “加油，伙计们！”他们跑着跑着，大地开始颤抖起来。 “另一个地震? !”安东尼奥尖叫起来。 大块的木地板开始晃动。 地板开始裂开了。 下面的管道和电线爆裂了。 “这不是地震！”萨姆喊道。 “这是一座火山！”
