11. Storming Mad

STORMING MAD 11 The double doors burst open! Sam, Lucy, and Antonio tumbled out onto the stone steps. Sam took a moment to catch his breath. Then he asked, "Is everyone okay?" "Okay?!" Antonio asked. "I'm awesome! I nailed that slide!"

双扇门突然打开了！萨姆、露茜和安东尼奥跌跌撞撞地走到石阶上。 山姆喘了口气。 然后他问：“大家都好吗？”“好吧? !”安东尼奥问道。 “我太棒了!我把那个滑梯钉住了！”

Sam grinned as he stood. He was soaking wet, but he didn't care. They were finally outside. "FOURTH INNING!" "There is only one inning left!" Lucy said. "The game's almost over!" Sam peered around the corner of the school. He saw the kickball field and the crowded bleachers. "We need to get over there," Sam said. "We also need to stay out of sight," Antonio added.

山姆站在那里咧嘴一笑。他浑身湿透了，但他不在乎。 他们终于出来了。 “第四局!”“只剩下一局了！”露西说。 “比赛快结束了！”萨姆在学校的拐角处窥视。 他看到了足球场和拥挤的露天看台。 “我们得去那儿，”萨姆说。 安东尼奥补充说：“我们还需要躲在视线之外。”

All of a sudden, there was a loud WHOOMP. One of their classmates had kicked a home run. The crowd cheered and watched the ball fly through the air. "Now, run!" Sam said. "While no one's looking!" The friends sped toward the field, then ducked down and ran beneath the bleachers. They peered through the metal planks. They could see the action on the field— but no one could see them. Antonio gasped. "Look! I think Orson's doing stuff!"

突然，传来一声巨响。 他们的一个同学踢出了一个本垒打。 人群欢呼着，看着球在空中飞过。 “现在,快跑!”山姆说。“趁没人注意！”朋友们飞快地奔向场地，然后蹲下身子，跑到露天看台下面。 他们透过金属板向外窥视。 他们可以看到球场上的动作——但没有人能看到他们。 安东尼奥气喘吁吁地说。“看!我觉得奥森在做什么！”

Sam and Lucy saw it, too. There was a player standing on first base. But the base suddenly moved on its own! The player slipped. Next, the pitcher's mound trembled. Antonio started toward the field. But Sam stopped him. "Wait! What if Orson is doing small things to try to get us out on the field?" "Like a trap?" Antonio asked. "Right," Lucy said. "If we run out there, everyone will see us. Principal Winik will totally bust us. We'd never get our jobs back." Antonio clenched his fists. "So we wait... The big attack must still be coming."

萨姆和露西也看到了。有一个球员站在一垒上。 但是基地突然自己移动了！球员滑倒了。 接着，投手的投手丘颤抖起来。 安东尼奥开始向球场走去。 但是萨姆阻止了他。“等等!如果奥森正在做一些小事情，试图让我们上场呢？”“像个陷阱？”安东尼奥问道。 “对。”露茜说。“如果我们跑出去，每个人都会看到我们。 温尼克校长会把我们抓起来的。 我们再也找不到工作了。” 安东尼奥握紧拳头。 “所以我们等待……大袭击肯定还在后面。”

As Antonio said that, a gust of wind blew across the field. Grass swirled. The backstop rattled. The soft brown dirt of the base paths was lifted into the air. At second base, a player's cap was plucked from her head. "DUST STORM!" someone cried out. Sam looked up. He saw a dark cloud gathering over the field. But Sam knew the truth. This wasn't an ordinary dust storm. This was the work of Orson Eerie!

安东尼奥说着，一阵风吹过田野。 草传得沸沸扬扬。挡板格格作响。 小路上柔软的棕色泥土被吹到了空中。 在二垒时，一名球员的帽子被从她的头上摘了下来。 “沙尘暴！”有人喊道。 萨姆抬起头来。他看见田野上乌云密布。 但山姆知道真相。这不是一场普通的沙尘暴。 这是奥森·怪诞的杰作！
