7. Turning the Tables

TURNING THE TABLES 7 Icicles crashed to the floor as Sam and Lucy raced toward the kitchen. A huge icy spike smashed right in front of them. "Yikes!" Lucy exclaimed. "That one nearly got us!" Sam gripped Lucy's hand. They were too far from the hall to go back. And they were too far from the kitchen to keep going.

当山姆和露西冲向厨房时，七根冰柱哗啦一声掉在地上。 一个巨大的冰钉就在他们面前碎了。 “呀! !”露西喊道。“那只差一点就打中我们了！”萨姆抓住露西的手。 他们离大厅太远，回不去了。 他们离厨房太远，走不动了。

Sam looked up. A long razor-sharp icicle hung above them. It was about to drop... "Take cover!" Sam yelled. Together, Sam and Lucy dove beneath a lunch table. A second later, there was a tremendous CRASH! The icicle shattered just inches from their hiding spot. "What do we do now?" Lucy asked. "We need to get that salt before Antonio becomes an ice pop!

萨姆抬起头来。他们头顶上挂着一根长长的、锋利的冰柱。 它就要掉下来了……“隐蔽!”萨姆喊道。 山姆和露西一起躲到一张午餐桌子下面。 一秒钟后，传来一声巨大的撞击声！冰柱在离它们藏身之处几英寸的地方破碎了。 “我们现在怎么办？”露西问。 “我们得在安东尼奥变成冰棍之前拿到盐！”

They were trapped, and Sam knew time was running out. We're safe under this table, thought Sam. But we can't just stay here... "Wait!" Sam exclaimed. "Maybe we can bring this table with us! We'll carry it over our heads, like an umbrella all the way to the kitchen! Like a shield!" "That's a good idea. But look," Lucy said, pointing. The table legs were frozen solid to the floor. Sam stared at the icy floor. Now what?

他们被困住了，山姆知道时间不多了。 我们在这张桌子下面很安全，山姆想。 但我们不能就这么待在这里… “等等!”萨姆喊道。“也许我们可以把这张桌子也带来！”我们要把它像伞一样一直撑到厨房！像盾牌一样！”“这是个好主意。 可是你看。”露茜指着说。 桌腿都冻僵在地板上了。 山姆盯着结冰的地板。 现在怎么办呢?
