11. A Puzzle to Solve

A PUZZLE TO SOLVE 11 Sam looked around the classroom. "Orson hid the switch somewhere in here," he said. "We just have to find it." "We sit in here every day," Antonio said. "Wouldn't we have seen it before?" "Think of this like a video game puzzle," Lucy said. "Okay. But how do we solve it?" Antonio asked.

解决难题萨姆环顾了一下教室。 “奥森把开关藏在这里的某个地方，”他说。 “我们只需要找到它。” “我们每天都坐在这里，”安东尼奥说。 “我们以前不是见过吗？”“把它想象成一个电子游戏的谜题，”露西说。 “好吧。但是我们如何解决这个问题呢？”安东尼奥问道。

Outside, the wind howled. Water rained down from the sprinklers in the ceiling. The friends shivered. Suddenly, Lucy remembered something. She pulled out the binder and started flipping pages. The ink on the pages began to run. "Look!" she said. Lucy pointed to a photo of Orson Eerie. He was standing in their classroom almost one hundred years earlier. "Great. A creepy old photo of Orson," Antonio said. "How does that help us?"

外面，狂风呼啸。水从天花板上的洒水器上滴下来。 朋友们打了个寒颤。突然，露茜想起了一件事。 她拿出活页夹，开始翻页。 书页上的墨水开始淌水了。 “看！”她说。露西指着一张奥森·怪诞的照片。 大约一百年前，他就站在他们的教室里。 “好了。一张令人毛骨悚然的奥森老照片，”安东尼奥说。 “这对我们有什么帮助？”

"Orson hid the switch when he first designed the school," Lucy explained. "So we know the switch has been here since the beginning. That means we need to search the room for something that hasn't changed since this photo was taken. Whatever still looks the same— that's probably where the switch is hidden!"

“奥森最初设计学校的时候把开关藏了起来，”露西解释说。 “所以我们知道这种转变从一开始就存在。 这就意味着我们要在房间里找一些自这张照片拍摄以来没有改变过的东西。 无论什么东西看起来还是一样的——那可能就是开关藏在那里的地方！”

Sam nodded. If this was like a video game puzzle, then there needed to be a hint to take them to the next level. They looked at the photo, and then looked at the room.

山姆点点头。如果这就像一个电子游戏谜题，那么就需要有一个提示将他们带到下一个关卡。 他们看了看照片，然后看了看房间。

Lucy checked the thermometer. "Hurry guys!" she said. "Only three degrees left!" Despite the cold, Sam could feel sweat pouring off his forehead. His eyes focused on the room. Everything was different than it had been all those years ago. Different desks, different lights, different posters on the walls. Then he saw it. He couldn't believe it. The hiding spot had been in front of them all along!

露西检查了温度计。 “快点，伙计们！”她说。“只剩下三度了！”尽管很冷，山姆仍能感觉到汗水从额头上淌下来。 他的眼睛盯着房间。 一切都和多年前不一样了。 不同的桌子，不同的灯，墙上不同的海报。 然后他看到了。他简直不敢相信。 藏身之处一直就在他们面前！
