15. Slipping Up

SLIPPING UP 15 Sam and Jasper bounced off the eraser— covered floor. The soft rubber broke their fall— just like a gym mat. Lucy and Antonio ran over to them. "Thank you!" Jasper exclaimed. "Nice save!" Sam said, sitting up. "But we're not in the clear yet!"

失足十五山姆和贾斯帕在擦着橡皮的地板上弹跳起来。 柔软的橡胶防止了他们的坠落——就像体操垫一样。 露西和安东尼奥向他们跑过去。 “谢谢你!”贾斯帕喊道。 “保存得好!”萨姆说着坐了起来。 “但我们还没有完全脱离危险！”

The gigantic Orson Eerie was stomping toward them. He was so gigantic that every movement seemed to happen in slow motion. "We have to take him down!" Sam yelled. "That's it!" Lucy exclaimed. "Down! All the way down!" Glancing around, Lucy spotted a huge can of oil paint. "Guys, oil is slippery!" she continued. "Help me open these paint cans!" Antonio yanked the lid off a can. "Bu— bu— but Orson can see what you're doing," Jasper said.

巨大的奥森·怪诞正在向他们走来。 他是如此巨大，以至于每一个动作似乎都是慢动作。 “我们必须拿下他！”萨姆喊道。 “就是这样!”露西喊道。 “下来!一路下去！”露西环顾四周，发现了一个巨大的油彩罐。 “伙计们，石油很滑！”她继续说道。 “帮我打开这些油漆罐！”安东尼奥猛地拉开罐头的盖子。 “可是——可是——可是奥森看得出你在干什么。”贾斯帕说。

"You guys handle the paint!" said Sam. "I'll keep Orson busy!" Sam stepped forward. He held the hall monitor sash up high. Orson's strange metal eyes focused on the shiny sash. "Come on, you crazy old mad scientist!" Sam shouted.

“你们来处理油漆！”萨姆说。 “我会让奥森忙起来的！”萨姆走上前去。 他把大厅监控器的饰带高高举起。 奥森那双奇怪的金属眼睛盯着闪闪发光的腰带。 “来吧，你这个又老又疯的科学家！”萨姆喊道。

"ARGHHHH!" Orson howled and stomped closer. Out of the corner of Sam's eye, he saw Antonio and Lucy opening the paint cans. KA-SPLOOSH! They splashed the paint across the floor. Green and orange and blue and red splattered the ground. Orson's hand reached for Sam. Sam stepped backward, leading Orson forward. And just as Orson took his next step—

“ARGHHHH !”奥森嚎叫着，跺着脚走近了。 山姆眼角的余光看到安东尼奥和露西正在打开油漆罐。 KA-SPLOOSH !他们把油漆溅了一地。 绿色、橙色、蓝色和红色飞溅在地上。 奥森的手伸向山姆。 萨姆退后一步，领着奥森往前走。 就在奥森迈出下一步的时候

"ARGHHHH!" Orson howled as his feet went out from under him. Jasper grabbed Sam, yanking him away just as— KA-BOOM!

“ARGHHHH !”奥森嚎叫着，他的脚从他脚下伸出来。 贾斯帕一把抓住山姆，把他拽走，就在这时——砰！

Orson Eerie's strange and jumbled body smashed to the floor. It was the loudest sound Sam had ever heard. It felt like an earthquake as giant Orson cracked apart and exploded outward.

奥森·怪诞的、混乱不堪的尸体被砸在地板上。 这是山姆听到过的最响亮的声音。 巨大的奥森号裂开并向外爆炸，感觉就像一场地震。
