16. Hung Up

HUNG UP 16 Sam, Lucy, and Antonio burst into the auditorium. "Look!" Antonio said. Parents, teachers, and students hurried back inside. Ms. Winter stepped onto the stage and scooped up Orson Eerie's painting. "Phew!" she said. "It's still in fine condition!" "Ms. Winter! We have the money!" Sam called out, running up onstage.

萨姆、露西和安东尼奥冲进了礼堂。 “看!”安东尼奥说。家长、老师和学生们急忙回到屋里。 温特走上舞台，捧起奥森·怪诞（Orson Eerie）的画作。 “呸！”她说。“它的状况还不错！””女士。 冬天!我们有钱！”山姆喊道，跑上了舞台。

"But it's, uh... everywhere...," Antonio added. Dollar bills and loose change were scattered across the floor. It was going to take a long time to gather it up. Thankfully, Mr. Nekobi said, "I'm certain our hall monitors have one hundred dollars. I counted it yesterday. I will help them collect it all tonight!" "We will get every last penny," Lucy said. 'Promise!"

“但是，嗯……无处不在……安东尼奥补充道。 美元钞票和零钱散落在地板上。 收集起来要花很长时间。 谢天谢地，内科比先生说：“我确信我们的大厅监控器有100美元。 我昨天数过了。今晚我要帮他们把它们全部收集起来！”“我们会得到每一分钱的。”露茜说。 保证!”

"Well then," Ms. Winter said. "Sam, Antonio, and Lucy, congratulations! This painting is yours!" Sam grabbed the painting. The sooner this was over, the better. "Everyone, thank you for coming to our art show," Ms. Winter said, "and thank you for helping Eerie Elementary get new art supplies for its students!" The crowd made its way outside. Mr. Nekobi said, "Let's hang the painting now."

“那好吧，”温特说。 “萨姆、安东尼奥和露茜，祝贺你们！这幅画是你的！”萨姆抢过那幅画。 这事越早结束越好。 “各位，感谢你们来参加我们的艺术展。” 温特说：“谢谢你帮助怪诞小学为学生们购买新的美术用品！”人群向外涌去。 内科比先生说：“我们现在把画挂起来吧。”

The hall monitors hurried into the hallway. Sam handed over the painting. Mr. Nekobi held it up on the wall near the front entrance. "A little to the left," Sam said. "A bit higher," Lucy added. "No, lower," Antonio suggested. At last, Mr. Nekobi hung it and stepped back. They all agreed it looked good. But then Sam realized something: "We hung this creepy painting right across from Eerie Elementary's front doors!" he exclaimed. "We can't miss it," Lucy said.

大厅的监督员匆匆走进走廊。 萨姆把画交了过来。 Nekobi先生把它挂在前门附近的墙上。 “再往左一点，”萨姆说。 “再高一点。”露茜补充说。 “不，低一点，”安东尼奥建议道。 最后，Nekobi先生把它挂起来，退后一步。 他们都认为它看起来不错。 但后来山姆意识到：“我们把这幅令人毛骨悚然的画挂在了怪诞小学的正门对面！”他惊呼道。 “我们不会错过的。”露茜说。

"We'll have to look at his awful face every single day," Antonio groaned. Yes, Sam thought. Every single day. And worst of all— Sam knew this face would be looking at them, too. Orson Eerie's pale, painted eyes would always be watching them...

“我们每天都得看着他那张可怕的脸，”安东尼奥呻吟道。 是的，山姆想。每一天。 最糟糕的是，山姆知道这张脸也在看着他们。 奥森·怪诞苍白的彩绘眼睛会一直注视着他们……
