as he looked at the bottle.

旁白 neutral

" Oh no!" Ben slammed his locker shut and slumped to the floor

“哦，不！”本砰地关上储物柜，瘫倒在地。

He'd forgotten to dump Waldo's potion — Uncle Bert must

have mixed them up!

旁白 neutral

The witches were standing in the wings laughing hysterically as he

messed up over and over again.

旁白 neutral

And Victoria and Gaby were starting to run out of patience

而维多利亚和加比的耐心快耗尽了。

旁白 neutral

" Let me try it one more time," Ben pleaded." I know I can do it."

旁白 neutral

Smash! She'd put a huge hole in the stage

旁白 neutral

" I've never seen a cast with such terrible luck!"

旁白 neutral

Ozzy grinned." It's the curse!"

旁白 neutral

Ben hung his head." Maybe I'm the curse."

本耷拉下脑袋。“也许我就是那个诅咒。”

旁白 neutral

" That's not true," Jen said as Victoria beckoned to her

旁白 neutral

" Jen, please go get Mr. Freaky," Victoria said

“珍，请去把弗雷基先生找来。”维多利亚说。

Victoria clapped

旁白 neutral

The entire cast and crew scurried onstage

旁白 neutral

Ben tried to hide behind everyone else

本想躲在其他人后面。

旁白 neutral

" If I had learned my lines the right way," he thought," none of this would have happened."

“要是我当初好好背台词，”他想，“这一切都不会发生了。”

旁白 neutral

But another part of him was wondering about the curse of Macdeath

但他心里另一部分却在怀疑那个麦克死亡诅咒。

But we have very little time before opening night

旁白 neutral

And I, Victoria Lafang, have a reputation to uphold. If you can't — "

而我，维多利亚·拉芳，是要维护声誉的。如果你们不能——”

旁白 neutral

" What in the world is going on?" Mr. Freaky dashed into the auditorium

his noses wiggling.

旁白 neutral

" It sounds like this play is completely out of control!"

“听起来这出戏已经完全失控了！”

旁白 neutral

He frowned at the cast and crew members

他对着演员和工作人员们皱起了眉头。

旁白 neutral

" I warned you students about behaving for Ms. Lafang!"

旁白 neutral

Then he turned to Victoria

旁白 neutral

" I am so sorry! Normally everything at Monster Academy

" Thank goodness for that!" Mr. Freaky put away his handkerchief

“总算有件好事！”弗雷基先生收起了手帕。

旁白 neutral

" Now the rest of you had better shape up, or this will be the last play

Monster Academy ever performs!"
