15. Tickle Fight!

TICKLE FIGHT! 15 There was a loud CRUNCH as the wrecking ball smashed into the swing set and ripped it from the ground. Sam, Antonio, and Lucy dove behind the monkey bars. They could hear the wrecking ball slicing through the air. Suddenly, Antonio started laughing. "What's so funny?" Lucy exclaimed. "This is no time for laughing! Orson is trying to bash us!"

逗战斗!随着一声响亮的嘎吱声，破碎球撞到了秋千架上，把它从地上扯了下来。 山姆、安东尼奥和露西躲到单杠后面。 他们能听到破碎球在空中划过的声音。 突然，安东尼奥笑了起来。 “什么事这么好笑？”露西喊道。 “现在不是笑的时候！”奥森想打击我们！”

"I— I— I don't mean to!" Antonio said. He was laughing so hard that he could barely speak. "It's Squeakers! She crawled up my shirt! Her feet tickle!" Squeakers darted out through Antonio's collar. She scampered into his lap. Antonio scooped her up and caught his breath. "Wait a second," Sam said. "Didn't we read that Lucy finished Sam's thought. "Orson was terribly ticklish! Maybe Squeakers can help us again!" she said. In a flash, Antonio was racing toward the truck. The wrecking ball swung over his head as he set Squeakers down in the grass. Squeakers scrambled atop the truck.

“我——我——我不是故意的！”安东尼奥说。 他笑得几乎说不出话来。 “这是小猪!她爬上了我的衬衫！她的脚好痒！”吱吱声从安东尼奥的项圈里窜了出来。 她蹦蹦跳跳地跳到他的腿上。 安东尼奥把她抱起来，屏住了呼吸。 “等一下，”萨姆说。 “我们不是读到露茜打断了萨姆的想法吗？ “奥森特别怕痒！也许吱吱可以再次帮助我们！”她说。 刹那间，安东尼奥向卡车跑去。 当他把吱吱放在草地上时，破球从他的头上晃过。 吱吱嘎嘎的人爬上了卡车。

Antonio stepped back. Squeakers was darting in and out of the truck, around the crane, and scampering along the roof. The engine let out a howling, high-pitched squeal. Sam realized it sounded like laughter. The truck is giggling! "It's working!" Lucy said. "Squeakers is tickling Orson Eerie— and I bet she doesn't even know it!" Sam exclaimed. The wrecking ball swung wildly. The engine let out more loud, terrifying, crazed laughter. And then—

安东尼奥向后退了一步。吱吱嘎嘎在卡车里窜进窜出，绕着起重机跑，沿着车顶蹦蹦跳跳。 发动机发出一声尖厉的呼啸声。 山姆意识到这听起来像是笑声。 卡车在咯咯地笑！“这是工作!”露西说。 “Squeakers在挠Orson Eerie的痒——我敢打赌她甚至不知道！”萨姆喊道。 破碎机猛烈地摆动着。 发动机发出了更响亮、更可怕、更疯狂的笑声。 然后,

CLINK. CLINK. CLINK. The wrecking ball was lifted high into the air. The crane swung, and the ball was directly above the truck. "Orson is going to use the wrecking ball on Squeakers!" Lucy shouted. "No!" Antonio cried. "My little buddy will be smashed!" "This truck has done enough damage to the school," Sam said. "It's time for it to damage itself! But first, I'll save Squeakers!"

发出叮当声。发出叮当声。发出叮当声。破碎球被高高举起。 起重机摇晃着，球就在卡车的正上方。 “奥森要用破球对付Squeakers!”露西喊。 “不!”安东尼奥哭了。“我的小伙伴会被砸碎的！”“这辆卡车对学校造成的破坏已经够多了，”萨姆说。 “是它自残的时候了！”但首先，我要救吱吱！”

"It's too dangerous!" Lucy exclaimed. Sam raced forward. He leapt past the broken playground equipment. He bounded onto the truck. The cold metal chilled him to his core. "Get down from there!" Antonio called out. But Sam knew this was their one chance to defeat the wrecking ball. "Squeakers! Come here!" Sam said. He reached across the roof for the speeding hamster.

“太危险了！”露西喊道。 萨姆向前跑去。他跳过坏掉的操场设备。 他跳上卡车。 冰冷的金属使他浑身冰凉。 “从那儿下来！”安东尼奥喊道。 但山姆知道这是他们打败破坏球的唯一机会。 “吱吱叫的!来这里!”山姆说。 他越过屋顶去抓那只飞驰的仓鼠。

"The ball is about to drop!" Antonio cried. Sam looked up. He saw the huge metal ball above him. Suddenly, Sam began giggling. Squeakers had darted up his jacket sleeve. An instant later, the tiny hamster's face poked out. Sam grabbed her. And just in time. "Gotcha!" Sam said. Sam tucked his hands over his chest and dove onto the damp grass.

“球要掉下来了！”安东尼奥哭了。 萨姆抬起头来。他看到头顶上有一个巨大的金属球。 突然，萨姆开始咯咯地笑起来。 吱吱嘎嘎的人把他的夹克袖子卷了起来。 不一会儿，小仓鼠的脸露出来了。 山姆一把抓住她。而且来得正是时候。 “明白了!”山姆说。萨姆双手捂在胸前，扑到潮湿的草地上。
