It's Monkey Time!

Chapter 12 It's Monkey Time! " Take off your hat please, Clyde! " Principal Murphy said again. I gulped. If I took off my hat, she would see my monkey ears. And then - The office door burst open. “ The monkey is in the hallway! " Miss Mopper yelled.

第12章是猴子时间! “请摘下你的帽子，克莱德!”墨菲校长又说了一遍。 我吞了吞口水。如果我摘掉帽子，她就会看到我的猴子耳朵。然后一- 办公室的门突然被撞开了。“猴子在走廊里!”莫珀小姐喊道。

Principal Murphy picked up her big net. She ran out of the office. Miss Mopper left, too. " I thought I was the only real monkey around here, " I said to Claudia. " Maybe you are. " My sister led me into the hallway. “ Maybe Miss Mopper was lying about seeing a monkey to get Principal Murphy out of the office. " " But why?" I asked. Claudia quickly pulled me behind a large trash can. Then she pointed to something. I peeked around the trash can.

墨菲校长拿起她的大网。她跑出了办公室。莫珀小姐也离开了。 “我以为我是这里唯一的真猴子，”我对克劳迪娅说。 “也许你是。”我妹妹领我走进了走廊。“也许莫珀小姐撒谎说看到猴子，是为了把墨菲校长从办公室引开。” “但为什么呢?”我问。 克劳迪娅迅速把我拉到一个大垃圾桶后面。然后她指向了某个东西。 我偷偷地从垃圾桶周围窥视。

I saw a tall ghost run past us and into the office. Then he ran out carrying Principal Murphy's new purse! " It's the purse thief, " I whispered. " But why is he wearing a ghost costume?" Claudia asked. " So if people see him running with the stolen purse, " I said, " they won't know who he really is. " " They will think he is Roz, " Claudia said. " Because of what happened yesterday. "

我看到一个个高的幽灵从我们身边跑过，进了办公室。然后他拿着墨菲校长的新钱包跑了出来! “他就是那个偷钱包的贼，”我低声说。 “但他为什么要穿幽灵服装?”克劳迪娅问。 “这样如果有人看到他拿着偷来的钱包逃跑，”我说，“他们就不会知道他到底是谁。” “他们会以为是罗兹，”克劳迪娅说。“因为昨天发生的事。”

" Unless someone catches the ghost, " I said. " You mean, someone like Principal Murphy?" Claudia asked. " I mean, someone like the monkey me. " I grinned. Claudia looked worried. " If you change into the monkey, Clyde, you might not be able to change back. " " But I can't let the thief get away, " I said. I closed my eyes and thought about exciting things. Like visiting the science museum. Like turning into a monkey. Like catching the ghost thief!

“除非有人抓住那个幽灵，”我说。 “你的意思是，像墨菲校长那样的人?”克劳迪娅问。 “我的意思是，像猴子我这样的人。”我咧嘴笑了。 克劳迪娅看起来很担心。“如果你变成猴子，克莱德，你可能无法变回来。” “但我不能让小偷逃走，”我说。 我闭上眼睛，想象一些令人兴奋的事情。比如参观科学博物馆。比如变成一只猴子。 比如抓住幽灵小偷!

A wave of energy splashed through me. My head started spinning. My heart raced. Faster. And faster. I sneezed. A-CHOO! UH-OH!

一股能量波穿过我。我的头开始旋转。我的心跳加速。越来越快。越来越快。 我打了个喷嚏。 阿嚏! 啊哦!

TA-DAH! IT'S MONKEY ME TIME! CLYDE! STOP! OOPS! YOU`RE RIGHT. I FORGOT TO TAKE OFF MY HAT. LOOK, CLAUDIA! MY BODY MATCHES MY MONKEY EARS.

嗒哒! 是猴子我的时间! 克莱德!停下! 哎呀!你说得对。 我忘了摘掉我的帽子。 看，克劳迪娅!我的身体和我的猴子耳朵匹配了。
