7. The End Of Orson

THE END OF ORSON? 7 The next morning, Sam, Lucy, and Antonio stepped onto school grounds. "What on earth?" Antonio said. "Who are all these people?" Lucy asked. "And what are they doing to our school?" Sam said.

奥森的末日？第二天早上，萨姆、露西和安东尼奥踏上了学校的操场。 “到底是怎么回事？”安东尼奥说。 “这些人是谁？”露西问。 “他们对我们学校做了什么？”山姆说。

Construction workers in bright yellow hard hats were examining the building and taking measurements. Trailers were set up across the soccer field. Principal Winik was directing students. "Find your teachers," he announced. "They will explain everything."

戴着明黄色安全帽的建筑工人正在检查建筑物并测量尺寸。 拖车在足球场对面架起。 温尼克校长正在指导学生。 “去找你们的老师。”他宣布。 “他们会解释一切。”

Sam and his friends spotted Ms. Grinker. They made their way through the crowd. "Ms. Grinker, what is happening?" Lucy asked. "Inside, inside," Ms. Grinker said. "I will explain." Sam, Lucy, and Antonio entered a trailer. Their classmates were already seated. The trailer was filled with desks and chairs. There was a whiteboard, but the walls were bare.

Sam和他的朋友们发现了mrs。 Grinker。他们从人群中挤过去。 “格林克女士，发生了什么事？”露西问。 “往里，往里，”格林克说。 “我会解释的。”山姆、露西和安东尼奥走进一辆拖车。 他们的同学已经坐下了。 拖车里堆满了桌子和椅子。 有一块白板，但墙壁是光秃秃的。

Ms. Grinker called for silence. Squeakers was inside her cage, running on her squeaky wheel. "I realize everyone is curious to know what's going on outside," Ms. Grinker said. "Unfortunately, our beloved school is going to be torn down."

格林克呼吁大家保持沉默。 吱吱在她的笼子里，在吱吱作响的轮子上奔跑。 “我意识到，每个人都很想知道外面发生了什么。” Grinker说。“不幸的是，我们深爱的学校即将被拆除。”

The entire class gasped. "The building is too old," Ms. Grinker continued. "It has become a danger." "Not to mention it's super creepy," Antonio whispered to Sam and Lucy. "And alive," Lucy added. "Class will be held here," Ms. Grinker continued, "until we have a new school building." Sam raised his hand. "Ms. Grinker, when will the old building be torn down?"

全班都倒吸了一口气。“这栋楼太旧了。” Grinker继续说。“它已经变成了一种危险。” “更不用说它非常令人毛骨悚然，”安东尼奥低声对萨姆和露西说。 “而且还活着。”露茜补充说。“上课将在这里举行。” 格林克继续说，“直到我们有了新校舍。” 萨姆举起了手。“格林克女士，老房子什么时候拆掉？”

"Tomorrow," Ms. Grinker said. Ms. Grinker started class like usual. But Sam could not pay attention. He stared out the window, watching Eerie Elementary and thinking, it feels like the school is watching me... Finally, it was time for recess. But the playground was overrun with construction workers, so recess was held on the soccer field. Sam's friends were both overjoyed by Ms. Grinker's news about the school. "Orson Eerie will be defeated at last! And we're not even the ones who are going to do it!" Antonio said. He looked like he was ready to run a victory lap around the school.

“明天，”格林克说。 Grinker老师像往常一样开始上课。 但是萨姆无法集中注意力。 他盯着窗外，看着《怪诞小学》，心想，感觉学校也在看着我…… 最后，是休息时间了。 但操场上挤满了建筑工人，所以课间休息在足球场上进行。 萨姆的朋友们都为萨姆太太的到来欣喜若狂。 格林克关于学校的新闻。 “Orson Eerie最终将被击败！”而我们甚至不是要去做这件事的人！”安东尼奥说。 他看起来已经准备好绕着学校跑一圈以示胜利。
