2. Earthquake!

EARTHQUAKE! 2 "Quiet!" Ms. Grinker barked. The students stopped talking." There are books in the school library to help you with your projects. Please choose a project by this Friday." Lucy's hand shot up. "Yes, Lucy?" Ms. Grinker asked. "I don't remember any science fairs before this. Why is this the first time we're doing a science fair at Eerie Elementary?"

地震!2“安静!”Ms。 Grinker吠叫。学生们不说话了。” 学校图书馆里有一些书可以帮助你完成你的项目。 请在本周五之前选择一个项目。” 露茜的手一下子举了起来。“是的,露西?”Ms。 Grinker问道。“我不记得在此之前有任何科学展览。 为什么这是我们第一次在怪诞小学举办科学展？”

Ms. Grinker was surprised by her question. The strange feeling in Sam's stomach grew stronger as his teacher began to speak. "Well, um, Lucy, you see, last time—" RUMBLE! RUMBLE! The whole school began to shake! The floors trembled. The pipes clattered. Artwork on the classroom wall tumbled to the floor. Oh no! Sam thought. It's Orson Eerie! Something has made him mad!

格林克对她的问题感到惊讶。 当老师开始说话时，萨姆胃里那种奇怪的感觉越来越强烈。 “嗯，露茜，你知道，上次——”隆隆声！轰鸣!整个学校开始颤抖！地板在颤抖。 水管哗啦哗啦作响。教室墙上的艺术品掉到了地上。 噢,不!山姆想。是奥森·怪诞！有什么事使他发疯了！

"Earthquake!" one student shouted. "Get under your desks!" another student shouted. Sam jumped to his feet. He watched Ms. Grinker's face turn white with fear. He had to do something. "Everyone, remain calm!" Ms. Grinker cried as students huddled under their desks.

“地震！”一个学生喊道。 “躲到桌子底下！”另一个学生喊道。 萨姆跳了起来。他看着她。 格林克吓得脸色发白。 他必须做点什么。“大家保持冷静！”Ms。 当学生们挤在课桌下面时，格林克哭了起来。

Sam knew this was the work of Orson Eerie. Sam would not hide. He didn't want Orson Eerie to think he was frightened. Sam felt something tugging at his pants. He saw Lucy, looking up from beneath her desk. "Sam! What are you doing?!" Lucy tugged again, and Sam finally got down, too. Antonio said, "An earthquake! Can you believe it?" Sam shook his head. "No. It's Orson Eerie. I know it..."

山姆知道这是奥森·怪诞干的。 山姆不会躲起来。他不想让奥森·怪诞觉得他吓坏了。 萨姆感到有什么东西在拽他的裤子。 他看见露西正从桌子下面抬起头来。 “山姆!你在干什么？！”露西又拉了一下，萨姆终于也下来了。 安东尼奥说：“地震！你能相信吗？”山姆摇了摇头。 “没有。我是奥森·怪诞。我知道……”

The earthquake stopped just as suddenly as it had started. No one was hurt, but everyone was spooked. When the final bell rang, the school quickly emptied. Hall monitor duty was easy for Sam that day, because everyone was in a hurry to get home. Once the halls cleared, Sam stepped out into the cool November air. It felt really good to be outside.

地震突然停止了，就像它突然开始一样。 没人受伤，但大家都吓坏了。 当最后的铃声响起时，学校很快就空了。 那天对萨姆来说，当厅堂班长很容易，因为每个人都急着回家。 大厅里的人一走，山姆就走到十一月的凉爽空气中。 在外面的感觉真好。

Sam spotted Mr. Nekobi near the supply shed. Mr. Nekobi was the old man who took care of Eerie Elementary. It was Mr. Nekobi who chose Sam to be the hall monitor. He had told Sam the awful truth about the school. It was a secret shared by only Mr. Nekobi, Sam, Antonio, and Lucy. Ms. Grinker was talking to Mr. Nekobi. Her face was bright red. Lucy and Antonio met Sam at the rear steps. "Lucy! Antonio!" Sam said. "Something's up. Follow me!"

山姆在补给棚附近发现了奈科比先生。 内科比先生就是那个管理怪诞小学的老人。 是内科比先生选山姆当大厅管理员的。 他把学校的可怕真相告诉了萨姆。 这个秘密只有内科比先生、山姆、安东尼奥和露西知道。 Grinker女士在和Nekobi先生说话。 她的脸涨得通红。露西和安东尼奥在后面的台阶上迎接萨姆。 “露西!安东尼奥!”山姆说。 ”的东西。跟我来!”
