10. A Plan Comes Together

A PLAN COMES TOGETHER 10 Jasper Eerie led Sam, Lucy, and Antonio over to a desk. There were towering stacks of faded, crinkly papers. They contained sketches and scribbles.

计划达成贾斯帕·怪诞带领山姆、露西和安东尼奥来到一张桌子前。 那里有成堆的褪色的、皱巴巴的文件。 里面有素描和涂鸦。

"These papers hold Orson's plans for the machine," Mr. Eerie explained. "We need to go through them and reverse his directions. We need to make the machine work backward. And I'll need your help." Sam and Lucy picked up tools. Antonio eyed the desk. "I'm good at cursive, so I'll read the plans to you three," Antonio said, grabbing some papers. He sat cross-legged on the floor. With that, they got to work... "Switch the vacuum cleaner to reverse mode," Antonio called out. Sam unbolted, removed, and reattached parts.

“这些文件里有奥森对机器的计划，”艾瑞解释说。 “我们需要通过他们，扭转他的方向。 我们需要使这台机器反向运转。 我需要你的帮助。”山姆和露西拿起工具。 安东尼奥盯着桌子。“我擅长草书，所以我把计划读给你们三个听，”安东尼奥说着，抓起几张纸。 他盘腿坐在地板上。 说完，他们就开始工作了…… “把吸尘器调到倒转模式，”安东尼奥喊道。 山姆拆下螺栓，拆下零件，重新安装零件。

Lucy slid underneath the huge machine. "Screwdriver!" she said. Jasper handed it to her. Next, she called out, "Pliers!" and he rushed them over. When Lucy slid out from beneath the machine, she was covered in grease and soot. "It's like putting together a Lego set," Lucy said, smiling. "And we're making progress," said Jasper, turning a knob. Finally, Antonio pointed to a large red lever atop the machine. "There's only one last thing to do," he said. "Turn it on..."

露西滑到那台巨大的机器下面。 “螺丝刀！”她说。贾斯帕把它递给她。 接着，她喊道：“钳子！”他赶紧把钳子赶了过去。 露西从机器下面滑出来时，身上沾满了油脂和煤烟。 “这就像把一套乐高玩具拼在一起，”露西笑着说。 “我们正在取得进展。”贾斯帕说着，转动了一个把手。 最后，安东尼奥指着机器顶上一个红色的大杠杆。 “还有最后一件事要做，”他说。 “打开它……”

Sam climbed on to the machine. He held his breath as he pulled the lever. VROOOOOOOM! A loud, high-pitched roar filled the room. The machine rumbled and smoked! Sam hung on as it shook faster and howled louder. "The whole neighborhood will hear that!" Mr. Eerie exclaimed. "Turn it off!"

萨姆爬上了机器。 他拉操纵杆时屏住了呼吸。 VROOOOOOOM !房间里充满了一声尖厉的吼声。 机器隆隆作响，冒着烟！山姆紧紧抓住，因为它摇晃得更快，嚎叫得更响。 “整个社区都会听到的！”怪诞先生惊呼道。 “把它关掉！”

Just as Sam yanked the lever to OFF, he was flung across the room. The machine went still. Jasper helped Sam to his feet. With a smile, he said, "I believe we've done it. Good work, students." Antonio set down the papers. Lucy grabbed a rag and cleaned her hands. Sam wiped soot from his nose. "Tomorrow," Sam said. "We remove Orson Eerie from Eerie Elementary— once and for all..."

正当萨姆猛拉操纵杆关闭时，他被甩到了房间的另一边。 机器停了下来。贾斯帕扶着山姆站了起来。 他笑着说：“我相信我们做到了。 干得好，学生们。”安东尼奥放下文件。 露西抓起一块抹布，擦了擦手。 萨姆擦去鼻子上的烟灰。 “明天，”萨姆说。“我们要把奥森·怪诞从《怪诞小学》中移除——永远地……”
