13. He Speaks At Last!

HE SPEAKS AT LAST! 13 Orson Eerie's voice echoed off the gray cinder-block walls. "FOOLS! YOU CANNOT REMOVE ME FROM THE SCHOOL. I AM THE SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL IS ME." Jasper staggered backward as the yelling grew louder. Orson's deep voice boomed like thunder. "JASPER, YOU ARE FAMILY!"

他终于开口了！奥森·怪诞的声音在灰色的煤渣砖墙上回响。 “傻瓜!你不能把我赶出学校。 我就是学校。学校就是我。” 呼喊声越来越大，贾斯帕踉跄着向后退去。 奥森低沉的声音像雷声一样隆隆作响。 “贾斯帕，你是我的家人！”

Sam didn't want to waste this opportunity. This is my chance to talk some sense into Orson! he thought. "Orson! Listen!" Sam shouted. "It's me, Sam Graves." "SAM GRAVES... YOU HAVE DEFEATED ME TIME AND AGAIN! WHY WOULD I LISTEN TO YOU?" "Because I am the hall monitor!" Sam yelled. He whipped his sash from his backpack and threw it on. "Now tell me," Sam continued. "Why do you want to put everyone in danger?" "SO I CAN LIVE FOREVER!" "But you're using this school for evil!" Sam exclaimed. "I've seen your old science book I know you loved to learn! I know you built this school for the students! Think about the students now!"

山姆不想浪费这个机会。 这是我劝导奥森的好机会！他想。 “奥森!听!”萨姆喊道。 “是我，山姆·格雷夫斯。””山姆坟墓…… 你一次又一次地打败了我！我为什么要听你的？”“因为我是大厅的班长！”萨姆喊道。 他从背包里抽出腰带，扔在身上。 “现在告诉我，”萨姆继续说。 “你为什么要把每个人都置于危险之中？”“这样我就可以长生不老了！”“但你在利用这所学校做坏事！”萨姆喊道。 “我看过你的旧科学书，我知道你喜欢学习！”我知道你是为学生建的这所学校！现在想想学生吧！”

Orson's voice changed. It sounded more thoughtful. "I... I MUST... ALL OF THIS... ALL THAT I'VE ACCOMPLISHED... IT IS MY LIFE'S WORK." Sam felt a change in Orson. The rage and anger faded away. He felt something good inside Orson. But then, suddenly, Orson roared. "NO! YOU ARE MY ENEMY! THE HALL MONITOR HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY ENEMY!" With that, the machine leapt into the air like an invisible hand had plucked it from the ground. The machine ripped itself apart. Sparks showered the floor.

奥森的声音变了。听起来更有思想。 “我……我必须……所有这一切…… 我所取得的成就… 这是我毕生的事业。”山姆感觉到奥森的变化。 愤怒和愤怒渐渐消失了。 他觉得奥森的内心很美好。 但是，突然，奥森咆哮起来。 “不!你是我的敌人！大厅班长一直是我的敌人！”说完这句话，机器就像一只看不见的手从地上把它拉了起来一样，跃上了天空。 机器自己拆开了。 火星溅得满地都是。

"Get down!" Lucy shouted. She and Antonio dove beneath a workbench. But Jasper didn't move. He's frozen with fear! Sam realized. Sam grabbed hold of Jasper, dragging him to safety. And just in time— SMASH!!! The machine crashed back down. Bits of broken metal skittered across the floor. Sam gulped. We made contact with Orson Eerie. We were so close. But just like that, the machine has been destroyed.

“下来!”露西喊。她和安东尼奥躲到一个工作台下面。 但贾斯帕没有动。他吓得僵住了！山姆意识到。 山姆抓住贾斯帕，把他拖到安全的地方。 就在那个时候——SMASH!！机器又崩溃了。 碎金属碎片在地板上四处飞溅。 山姆一饮而尽。我们和奥森·怪诞联系上了。 我们是如此的亲密。但就这样，机器被摧毁了。

Jasper's face was paper white. He raced for the door. "It's hopeless!" he cried. KA-KA-KRACK! The floor split apart at Jasper's feet. Tiles formed a wave, lifting him up! Jasper reached for the door, but he was hurled into a supply shelf. The shelf toppled over— showering him with crayons, brushes, and glue. The friends rushed toward Jasper, but the tiles beneath their feet began swirling. The floor turned into a giant whirlpool, whipping them around the room.

贾斯帕的脸像纸一样苍白。 他向门口跑去。“没希望了！” KA-KA-KRACK !贾斯帕脚下的地板裂开了。 瓷砖形成波浪，把他举起来！贾斯帕伸手去开门，但他被撞到了一个用品架上。 架子倒了下来，蜡笔、刷子和胶水泼了他一身。 朋友们冲向贾斯珀，但他们脚下的瓷砖开始打转。 地板变成了一个巨大的漩涡，把他们甩在房间里。

Finally, they were hurled into a corner, far away from Jasper. "I'm sorry I failed..." Sam told his friends. "I couldn't convince Orson Eerie to stop. He'll never stop. Orson Eerie is evil." Smashed machinery was strewn across the floor. The machine had been ripped, wrecked, and shattered. But the battle wasn't over... The floor tiles rose up, joining with the broken machine, transforming— Sam gasped.

最后，他们被赶到一个角落里，离贾斯帕很远。 “对不起，我失败了……”萨姆告诉他的朋友们。 “我无法说服奥森·怪诞停下来。 他不会罢手的。奥森·怪诞是邪恶的。” 粉碎的机器散落在地板上。 那台机器被撕破了，毁坏了，粉碎了。 但战斗还没有结束…… 地砖升起来，和坏掉的机器连在一起，变形了——山姆倒吸了一口气。
