3. Snatched!

SNATCHED! 3 The next morning, Sam, Antonio, and Lucy were at the school library. They had arrived extra early and no one else was around. The bookshelves loomed over the friends as they walked through the long stacks.

抢走了!3第二天早上，萨姆、安东尼奥和露西在学校图书馆。 他们来得特别早，周围没有其他人。 当朋友们走过长长的书架时，书架隐约地笼罩着他们。

"Ahhh-choo!" Lucy sneezed for the ninth time in the past three minutes. "This must be the dustiest library in the world." She scrunched up her face to fight off another sneeze. "Most of these books are older than Mr. Nekobi!" Antonio joked.

“Ahhh-choo !”露茜在过去的三分钟里打了第九次喷嚏。 “这一定是世界上灰尘最多的图书馆了。” 她把脸揉成一团，忍住又一个喷嚏。 “这些书大多比奈科比先生还老！”安东尼奥开玩笑说。

"I'm not sure anything is older than Mr. Nekobi!" Sam said. Sam was making a joke, but inside he felt nervous. The earthquake had been strange. And what Mr. Nekobi had said was even stranger: There was an earthquake just before the last science fair, too? What did Mr. Nekobi mean when he said the last science fair had been "a disaster"? Had the school attacked the students? The friends found the science section. There were dozens and dozens of books. Sam reached up to take one, but there was a loud SNAP!

“我不确定还有什么比奈科比先生更老的！”山姆说。 萨姆在开玩笑，但内心却感到紧张。 这次地震很奇怪。 内科比说的话更奇怪：就在上次科学博览会之前，也发生了地震？ 内科比先生说上届科学博览会是“一场灾难”是什么意思？ 是学校袭击了学生吗？ 朋友们找到了科学版。 有很多很多的书。 萨姆伸手去拿一个，但听到一声响亮的啪！

"Whoa!" Antonio exclaimed. He had stepped right through an old, worn-out heating vent in the floor. "Wait a minute!" The vent cracked more as he pulled his foot free. "There's something in here..." Antonio got down on the floor for a closer look. He reached into the dark vent. Suddenly, Antonio's eyes burst wide open. "It's got me!" he shrieked. "Something's got my hand! Help!"

“哇!”安东尼奥喊道。 他正好穿过了地板上一个破旧的加热通风口。 “等一下！”当他把脚抽出来时，通风口裂开得更厉害了。 “这里有东西……” 安东尼奥趴在地板上仔细看了看。 他把手伸进黑暗的通风口。 突然，安东尼奥的眼睛睁得大大的。 “它抓住我了！”他尖叫道。 “有什么东西抓住了我的手！”救命!”
