Me? Help?

Chapter 10 Me? Help? “ Come with me! " Principal Murphy said. Claudia's face turned red. She had never been taken to the office before. I had. Lots of times. It meant I was in big trouble. And when I stepped into the office, I saw I was in big, BIG trouble!

第十章我?帮忙? “跟我来!”墨菲校长说。 克劳迪娅的脸变红了。她以前从未被带到办公室过。 我去过。很多次。 这意味着我有大麻烦了。当我走进办公室时，我意识到我有大麻烦了!

The police chief was sitting behind the principal's desk. “ Here's Clyde! " Principal Murphy pushed me toward him. The police chief leaned closer. “ The Golden Monkey was stolen from the museum yesterday, " he said to me. I gulped. " And you think I took it?" " No, " the police chief said. “ But Principal Murphy said you run around a lot. So maybe you saw something yesterday at the museum that might help us catch the thief. " “ Think, Clyde! " Principal Murphy said. I tried. But it was hard to remember with everyone staring.

警察局长坐在校长的办公桌后面。“克莱德来了!”墨菲校长把我推向他。 警察局长凑近了。“金猴子昨天从博物馆被偷了，”他对我说。 我咽了口唾沫。“你认为是我偷的吗?” “不，”警察局长说。“但是墨菲校长说你经常到处跑。所以也许你昨天在博物馆看到了什么，可以帮助我们抓住小偷。” “想想，克莱德!”墨菲校长说。 我尝试回想。但在所有人的注视下很难记起来。

“ Think, Clyde! " Claudia said. " I can't! " I said as she grabbed my arm. It reminded me of what she did at the museum. Before I ran from her. And crashed into the guard. And . . . “ Wait a minute! " I said. " I saw a guard with a Golden Monkey. But I thought it was a toy, like mine. " I felt the Golden Monkey in my pocket. “ Hmm. So the guard is the thief, " the police chief said. “ Do you remember what he looks like, Clyde?"

“想想，克莱德!”克劳迪娅说。 “我做不到!”我说，她抓住了我的胳膊。 这让我想起了她在博物馆做的事。在我逃离她之前。然后我撞到了警卫。然后.….… “等一下!”我说。“我看到一个警卫拿着一个金猴子。但我以为它是一个玩具，像我的一样。” 我摸了摸口袋里的金猴子。 “嗯。所以那个警卫就是小偷，”警察局长说。“克莱德，你还记得他长什么样子吗?”

“ Yes, " I said. " I'll never forget his face. " The police chief showed me pictures on the computer of all the museum guards. But none of them looked like the thief. " Are you sure?" the police chief asked. “ Yes, " I said. “ Maybe Clyde is making up a story about seeing the guard, " Principal Murphy said. " Or maybe, " Claudia said, “ the guard wasn't really a guard. " “ What?" everyone asked. Claudia smiled. She is good at figuring things out. She is also good at trying to keep me out of trouble.

“是的，”我说。“我永远不会忘记他的脸。” 警察局长在电脑上给我看了所有博物馆警卫的照片。但是没有一个看起来像小偷。 “你确定吗?”警察局长问。 “是的，”我说。 “也许克莱德在编造看到警卫的故事，”墨菲校长说。 “或者，”克劳迪娅说，“那个警卫并不是真正的警卫。” “什么?”大家都问。 克劳迪娅笑了。她擅长解决问题。她也擅长试图让我远离麻烦。

“ Maybe the thief was dressed like a guard, " she said. " So he was in disguise, " the police chief said, rubbing his chin. “ That's how he escaped without being noticed. " “ Except by me, " I said. “ And maybe I can help you catch the thief. " The police chief stood. “ The thief has what he wants - the Golden Monkey, " he said. " I doubt he'll be back. " " But you two better get back to your class, " Principal Murphy said to Claudia and me. I looked up at the clock. Then I hurried with my sister to our classroom.

“也许小偷打扮成了警卫的样子，”她说。 “所以他是伪装的，”警察局长摸着下巴说。“这就是他怎么在不被注意的情况下逃脱的。” “除了被我注意到，”我说。“也许我可以帮你们抓住小偷。” 警察局长站了起来。“小偷已经得到了他想要的东西--金猴子，”他说。“我怀疑他还会回来。” “但你们两个最好回到你们的班级去，”墨菲校长对克劳迪娅和我说。 我抬头看了看钟。然后我和妹妹急忙回到我们的教室。
