You're the sub?

Chapter 11 You're the Sub? Nobody was in our classroom. Claudia and I had missed lunch and most of recess. I grabbed and quickly ate half a sandwich from my lunch bag. I tried to think of what I should tell Miss Plum. I knew she wouldn't be happy I had run out of the classroom earlier.

第十一章你是代课老师? 我们的教室里没有人。 克劳迪娅和我错过了午餐和大部分的课间休息。 我从午餐袋里抓起半个三明治，迅速吃了下去。 我试图思考我应该告诉普卢姆小姐什么。我知道她不会高兴我早些时候跑出教室的。

The bell rang. Recess was over. My classmates ran into the room. They sat at their desks. I watched the doorway. But instead of Miss Plum, a big man with a mustache walked into the room. “ Miss Plum will not be back today, " the man said. “ So I will be your substitute teacher. " Several of my classmates grinned. I usually get excited, too, when we have a sub. I like to play jokes on them. But when the sub looked at me, my stomach felt sick.

铃声响了。课间休息结束了。 我的同学们跑进教室，坐在他们的课桌前。 我注视着门口。但是走进来的不是普卢姆小姐，而是一个留着小胡子的大个子男人。 “普卢姆小姐今天不会回来了，”那人说。“所以我将是你们的代课老师。” 我的几个同学咧嘴笑了。 通常，当我们有代课时，我也会很兴奋，我喜欢和他们开玩笑。 但是当代课老师看着我时，我的胃感到不舒服。

" What's wrong, Clyde?" Claudia asked. " I don't know, " I said. I thought I had seen the sub's face before. But not his dark curly hair. Or his thin curly mustache. The sub picked up the class seating chart. " I need someone to help me carry boxes from the storage room to our classroom, " he said. Lots of hands shot up. “ How about Clyde?" He pointed at me. My heart pounded. “ But I didn't raise my hand, " I said. He pointed to the door. “ Let's go! " I slowly stood.

“克莱德，怎么了?”克劳迪娅问。 “我不知道，”我说。 我觉得我之前见过代课老师的脸。但不是他的深色卷发。也不是他那细细的卷发小胡子。 代课老师拿起了班级座位表。“我需要有人帮我从储藏室搬箱子到教室，”他说。 许多手举了起来。 “克莱德怎么样?”他指着我。 我的心怦怦直跳。“但我没有举手，”我说。 他指向门。“我们走吧!” 我慢慢地站了起来。

" Are you okay, Clyde?" Claudia asked. I looked at my sister, but said nothing. I didn't have to. Her eyes told me she knew what I was thinking. Something was wrong. The sub looked at the seating chart again. “ Claudia will be in charge while I am gone. " Then he gave me a little shove. " Let's get moving, Clyde! "

“克莱德，你还好吗?”克劳迪娅问。 我看了看我的妹妹，但没有说话。我也没必要说。她的眼神告诉我，她知道我在想什么。 有些不对劲。 代课老师再次看了看座位表。“我走了之后，克劳迪娅负责。” 然后他轻轻推了我一下。“我们快走吧，克莱德!”

We walked out of the classroom. At the other end of the hall, he told me to stop. " In here! " The sub opened a door. He pushed me into a room filled with boxes. “ Where is it, Clyde?" the sub asked. “ Where's what?" I asked. “ The Golden Monkey! " he said. He pulled off his wig and mustache. " You're the guard . . . I mean, the thief! " I said. He growled. " You mixed up our Golden Monkeys after crashing into me at the museum yesterday! You gave me your toy! " " So I have the real one?" I asked. " Yes, " he said. " And I want it! NOW! "

我们走出了教室。在走廊的另一端，他让我停下来。 “进来!”代课老师打开了一扇门。他把我推进了一个堆满箱子的房间。 “它在哪里，克莱德?”代课老师问。 “什么在哪里?”我问。 “金猴子!”他说。他摘下了他的假发和小胡子。 “你是那个警卫……我的意思是，小偷!”我说。 他咆哮着。“你昨天在博物馆撞到我后把我们的金猴子搞混了!你给我的是你的玩具!” “所以我拿到的是真品?”我问。 “是的，”他说。“我想要回来!现在就要!”

The thief was big, looked mean, and was blocking the doorway. I had no other choice. I pulled the real Golden Monkey from my pocket. He grabbed it from my hand. He stared at it and smiled. " I'll be far away before you can get out of here and tell someone what happened, " the thief told me. Then he laughed. He stuck the real Golden Monkey in his pocket. He left the storage room and locked the door.

那个小偷身材魁梧，看起来凶狠，而且堵住了门口。我别无选择。 我从口袋里掏出了真正的金猴子。他从我手中夺了过去。他盯着它看，然后笑了。 “在你能够离开这里告诉别人发生了什么之前，我会远远地离开的，”小偷对我说。 然后他笑了。他把真正的金猴子塞进口袋。他离开了储藏室，并且锁上了门。
