8. Caught!

CAUGHT! 8 BOOM! BOOM! BA-BLAM! There was another series of booms. Bright flashing lights came from the second floor. Sam grabbed the railing, trying to calm his nerves. The steps creaked and groaned. His heart pounded as he climbed to the top.

抓住了!8繁荣!繁荣!BA-BLAM !又出现了一系列繁荣。 明亮的灯光从二楼射了出来。 萨姆抓住栏杆，试图让自己平静下来。 台阶嘎吱作响，发出呻吟声。 爬到山顶时，他的心怦怦直跳。

The friends peered into the first room on the right. It was pitch black. They couldn't see a thing. But then a bright flash of light lit it up for a moment. Sam choked back a gasp. He saw that there was a large, strange machine in the room. Jasper Eerie stood before it. His hair was wild, like that of a mad scientist.

朋友们向右边的第一个房间望去。 四周一片漆黑。他们什么也看不见。 但随后一道强光把它照亮了一会儿。 萨姆呛住了一口气。他看到房间里有一台又大又奇怪的机器。 贾斯帕·怪异站在它面前。 他的头发乱蓬蓬的，像个疯狂的科学家。

Antonio ducked back into the hall. "Okay, I was wrong. Jasper is not a zombie. It's worse!" he said to Sam and Lucy. "He's like Dr. Frankenstein! He's bringing Orson back to life. Right here! Right now!" "That sounds nuts," Sam said. "But it could be true..." Sam took a step back, but as he did he bumped into Lucy. "Oof!" Lucy exclaimed. Her foot slipped on the top step. Her eyes went wide as she began falling backward.

安东尼奥又躲进了大厅。 “好吧，我错了。贾斯珀不是僵尸。 更糟了！”他对萨姆和露茜说。 “他就像弗兰肯斯坦博士！”他让奥森起死回生了。 就在这里!现在!”“听起来很疯狂，”萨姆说。 “但这可能是真的……”萨姆往后退了一步，但他撞到了露西。 “呕!”露西喊道。她的脚在最高一级台阶上滑了一跤。 她开始向后倒，眼睛睁得大大的。

Antonio caught her just before she tumbled down the staircase. "Sorry, Lucy," Sam whispered. As he turned to look back into the room, he almost screamed. Jasper had heard them! His eyes were locked with Sam's. "Run!" Sam shouted. The three friends dashed down the hall. But as they ran into another room, a shadow flashed ahead of them. Jasper had somehow made it into the room first. There must be shortcuts hidden inside this house, Sam thought.

就在她滚下楼梯之前，安东尼奥抓住了她。 “对不起，露西。”萨姆低声说。 当他回头看房间时，他几乎尖叫起来。 贾斯珀听到了！他的眼睛紧紧地盯着萨姆。 “快跑!”萨姆喊道。三个朋友冲进大厅。 但当他们跑进另一个房间时，一个影子在他们面前闪过。 贾斯帕不知怎么先进了房间。 这房子里一定藏着捷径，山姆想。

The tall man was now blocking their way. "You kids shouldn't be here," Jasper Eerie growled as he stomped toward them...

那个高个子男人挡住了他们的路。 “你们这些孩子不应该在这里。”贾斯帕·怪异咆哮着，跺着脚朝他们走来……
