15. Mystery Solved

MYSTERY SOLVED 15 The doors flew open! Parents, teachers, and students rushed into the gymnasium. They all looked terrified. The gym was a complete disaster. Broken science projects covered the floor. White foam dripped from everything. "Sam!" his mom cried out. "Lucy!" her parents yelled. "Antonio!" his father shouted.

谜底揭开15门突然开了！家长、老师和学生都冲进了体育馆。 他们看上去都吓坏了。 健身房简直就是个灾难。 残破的科学项目铺满了地板。 白色的泡沫从一切东西上滴下来。 “萨姆！”他妈妈叫道。“露西！”她的父母喊道。 “安东尼奥！”他的父亲喊道。

The three friends were standing in the middle of the gym. Their parents relaxed when they saw that they were safe. Sam's mom spotted the fire extinguishers. "Did you put out a fire?" she exclaimed. Sam shrugged. "Sort of." "It was just a small one," Lucy added, trying to keep their secret safe. "Super tiny. Barely anything!" Antonio said with a smile.

三个朋友站在体育馆中央。 当他们的父母看到他们是安全的时，他们放松了。 山姆的妈妈发现了灭火器。 “你把火扑灭了吗？” 山姆耸耸肩。“的”。“只是一个小的。”露茜补充说，尽量保守他们的秘密。 “超级小。几乎任何东西!”安东尼奥笑着说。

Ms. Grinker ran her fingers through her thin, gray hair. She muttered, "We are never having another science fair." The parents and teachers all agreed the science fair had been awful. But the students thought it was pretty fantastic. Sam, Lucy, and Antonio walked toward the parking lot. As they stepped off the school grounds, Sam pulled Orson Eerie's book from his backpack. "Whoa!" he said. "It's still hot!"

格林克女士用手指捋了捋她稀疏的白发。 她喃喃地说：“我们再也不会举办科学博览会了。” 家长和老师都认为这次科学展览糟透了。 但是学生们认为这非常棒。 山姆、露西和安东尼奥朝停车场走去。 当他们走出校园时，山姆从背包里拿出奥森·怪诞的书。 “哇！”他说。“还是很热！”

All of a sudden, Lucy's eyes lit up— like a lightbulb had gone off in her head. "Let me see that!" she cried. She yanked the book from Sam's hands and flipped it open. "Look, guys!" she exclaimed. "There's writing on these pages!" "Huh?" Sam asked. "What do you mean?" "Yeah. We already looked and didn't find anything. You know that," Antonio added. "My invisible ink project!" Lucy said. "I found that project in this book! And look— Orson wrote notes in here in invisible ink!"

突然间，露西的眼睛亮了起来——就像她脑子里的灯泡坏了一样。 “让我看看！”她叫道。 她猛地从山姆手中夺过书，翻开。 “看，伙计们！” “这几页上有字！”“嗯?”山姆问。 “你是什么意思？”“是的。 我们已经找过了，什么也没找到。 你知道的，”安东尼奥补充道。 “我的隐形墨水计划！”露西说。 “我在这本书里找到了那个项目！”瞧——奥森在这里用隐形墨水写笔记！”

Sam and Antonio both leaned in to get a closer look. Lucy said, "The heat from the lava made the invisible writing readable —just like how it worked in my project!" She flipped through the pages of the book. There was writing on all of them. Hundreds and hundreds of words, and it was all in Orson Eerie's fancy, old-fashioned handwriting. "That's why Orson was trying so hard to get the book back," Antonio said. "It contains his secrets!"

山姆和安东尼奥都凑过去凑近看。 露西说：“熔岩的热量使这些看不见的文字变得可读——就像我的项目一样！”她翻着书。 上面都写着字。 成百上千的字，都是奥森·怪诞的老式笔迹。 “这就是为什么奥森如此努力地想要回这本书，”安东尼奥说。 “里面有他的秘密！”

"It will take us forever to go through all of these notes," said Lucy. "And it looks like Orson may have written some of these notes in code." Sam was silent. He knew this book was important. He knew it could be the key to understanding how Orson Eerie became a mad scientist. It could be the key to everything. Sam finally spoke up. "Maybe, just maybe, this book will show us how to stop Eerie Elementary once and for all..."

“我们要花很长时间才能把这些笔记看完。”露茜说。 “看起来奥森可能用代码写了一些笔记。” 萨姆沉默了。他知道这本书很重要。 他知道这可能是理解奥森·怪诞如何成为疯狂科学家的关键。 它可能是一切的关键。 萨姆终于开口了。“也许，只是也许，这本书会告诉我们如何一劳永逸地阻止怪诞小学……”
