14. A Bite To Eat

A BITE TO EAT 14 The Orson Eerie kickball chomped and chewed the dugout roof. Then— CLOAK! CLOAK! CLOAK! There was a tremendous clattering at Sam's feet. The swirling winds had knocked over a bag of wooden baseball bats. One splintered bat tore a hole in the bag.

奥森·怪诞的踢球在教练席的屋顶上嚼来嚼去。 然后,斗篷!斗篷!斗篷!萨姆的脚边传来一阵巨大的撞击声。 旋风吹翻了一袋木制棒球棒。 一只蝙蝠的碎片在袋子上撕开了一个洞。

Lucy exclaimed, "That's it! I have a home run of a plan. Grab those bats! We're going to deflate that monster ball!" "YES!" Antonio cheered. "I love a good Orson-beating plan!" The friends scooped up as many bats as they could carry. They raced out onto the field. REE-ARRGGHHH! The monstrous ball roared. It spun and chased after Sam, Lucy, and Antonio. "What's the plan?" Sam cried. "This!" Lucy shouted, as she tossed a bat over her shoulder. It hit the grass.

露茜叫道：“对了！我有个绝妙的计划。 抓住那些球棒！我们要给那个怪物球放气！”“是的!”安东尼奥欢呼。 “我喜欢打败奥森的好计划！”朋友们尽可能多地捡起蝙蝠。 他们跑到球场上。 REE-ARRGGHHH !巨球咆哮着。 它转身追赶着山姆、露西和安东尼奥。 “计划是什么？”萨姆喊道。 “这!”露西喊道，把一只球棒扔过肩膀。 它撞到了草地上。

Sam glanced behind him. The Orson Eerie ball chomped at the ground as it sped after them! The bat flew up into its mouth along with dirt and grass. The ball's fangs chewed. Wood bits flew. "I get it!" Sam said. "Orson will swallow the bats and chomp them into sharp splinters!" "They'll shred him up from the inside out!" Antonio said. Sam, Lucy, and Antonio raced across the infield. Every few steps, they tossed another bat behind them. Sam heard the bats being gobbled up. The first part of the plan was working.

萨姆回头看了一眼。奥森怪球在他们后面疾驰而过，咬着地面！蝙蝠连同泥土和草一起飞进了它的嘴里。 球的尖牙咬着。木屑飞了起来。 “我明白了！”山姆说。“奥森会吞下蝙蝠，把它们咬成锋利的碎片！”“他们会把他从里到外撕碎的！”安东尼奥说。 萨姆、露西和安东尼奥跑过内场。 每走几步，他们就把另一个球棒扔到身后。 山姆听到蝙蝠被吞食的声音。 计划的第一部分起作用了。

But then— "Oh no!" Antonio exclaimed. "There's nowhere else to run!" Dirt kicked up as Sam slid to a stop. The huge metal backstop was directly ahead of them— and the terrifying kickball was hurtling toward them! They were trapped. Sam looked at his friends. They each still held two bats. "We need Orson to swallow more bats!" Sam yelled. "Throw your bats NOW!" They did. The scattered bats blocked the kickball's path to Sam, Lucy, and Antonio. The monstrous ball rolled to a stop. Bits of wood fell from its teeth.

但接着——“哦，不！”安东尼奥喊道。 “没有别的地方可逃了！”萨姆滑了下来，尘土飞扬。 巨大的金属挡板就在他们正前方——可怕的踢球向他们飞来！他们被困住了。 萨姆看着他的朋友们。 他们每人仍然拿着两根球棒。 “我们需要奥森吞下更多蝙蝠！”萨姆喊道。 “现在就把你的球棒扔出去！”他们所做的。 分散的球棒挡住了球传给山姆、露西和安东尼奥的路。 巨大的球滚了下来。 小块木头从它的牙齿上掉下来。

Sam gulped. "Why did Orson stop? We need him to eat those bats," Antonio whispered. "There aren't enough giant splinters yet!" "We need to make Orson come toward us," Lucy said. Sam narrowed his eyes. "Don't worry," he growled. "I'll get him to come closer."

山姆一饮而尽。“奥森为什么停下来了？” 我们需要他吃掉那些蝙蝠，”安东尼奥低声说。 “现在还没有足够的大碎片！”“我们得让奥森过来。”露西说。 萨姆眯起眼睛。“别担心，”他咆哮道。 “我会让他靠近一点。”

Sam rattled the metal backstop and shouted, "HEY, ORSON EERIE! DO YOU SEE THESE HALL MONITOR SASHES ON OUR FACES?! WE ARE STILL THE HALL MONITORS! WE WILL NEVER STOP FIGHTING YOU!" REE-ARRGGHHH! The monstrous kickball turned red with anger. It rolled forward like an unstoppable boulder. The bats disappeared! The ground quaked and the backstop shook. The ball kept rolling forward! It was going to swallow the hall monitors next! But then—

山姆拨弄着金属挡板，喊道：“嘿，奥森·怪诞！你看到我们脸上的监控带了吗！我们还是大厅的监控器！我们永远不会停止与你们的战斗！”REE-ARRGGHHH !巨大的足球气得脸都红了。 它像一块不可阻挡的巨石一样向前滚动。 蝙蝠不见了！地面在震动，挡板也在晃动。 球一直向前滚！它接下来要吞下大厅的监视器！但后来,
