10. What Really Killed the Dinosaurs

CHAPTER 10 WHAT REALLY KILLED THE DINOSAURS "Nooooooo!" screamed Big Tippy, as he sailed into the clouds at an incredible speed. "This bomb will detonate in thirty seconds." said the bomb.

“不——不！”大提比尖叫着，以令人难以置信的速度飞进了云层。 “这枚炸弹将在30秒后引爆。” 炸弹说。

Big Tippy flew across North America, soaring faster and faster through the stratosphere. "This bomb will detonate in fifteen seconds," said the bomb. Big Tippy began to lose altitude as he sailed toward the Gulf of Mexico. "This bomb will detonate in five seconds," said the bomb.

大提比飞越北美，在平流层中越飞越快。 炸弹说：“这枚炸弹将在15秒后引爆。” 当大提比向墨西哥湾航行时，他开始下降高度。 炸弹说：“这枚炸弹将在五秒钟内引爆。”

"4... 3... 2... 1..." Finally, Big Tippy landed just off the coast of the Yucatån Peninsula with a violently colossal splashdown (as seen below).

“4…3……2…1……”最后，大提比在尤卡坦半岛的海岸着陆，并猛烈地溅起了巨大的水花（如下所示）。

The massive explosion that followed blew a chunk in the Earth fifteen miles deep and more than sixty miles wide. Terrible earthquakes shook the entire planet as a gigantic tsunami sent a towering wall of seawater rolling across the continents.

随后的大爆炸在地球上炸出了一个15英里深、60多英里宽的大块。 可怕的地震震动了整个地球，巨大的海啸将高耸的海水墙卷过大陆。

"What's happening?" cried George. "It's that dumb nuclear bomb!" shouted Supa Mega Tippy. "It just triggered the start of the Cenozoic era. I'm gonna become extinct if I don't get out of here!" Quickly, Supa Mega Tippy set his Tinkle-Time Travelometer for 64,793,216 years into the future and pressed the "Away We Go!" button.

“出什么事了？”乔治叫道。 “是那枚愚蠢的核弹！”超级提比叫道。 “它只是触发了新生代的开始。 如果我不离开这里，我就要灭绝了！”很快，Supa Mega Tippy将他的叮当时间旅行计设置为64,793,216年后的未来，并按下“我们走！”按钮。

Suddenly, gigantic bolts of lightning began shooting out of Supa Mega Tippy's Robo-Pants as a ball of blue light enveloped him. "Quick, Crackers!" cried Harold, as thick volcanic ash began blocking out the sun. "Fly into the blue light! It's our only chance to escape!" Crackers pointed his long reptilian neck toward the crackling orb, and the four friends sailed downward into the blinding blue lightning.

突然，巨大的闪电从超级提比的机器裤里射出，一个蓝色的光球包围了他。 “快，饼干！”哈罗德喊道，厚厚的火山灰开始遮住太阳。 “飞到蓝光里去！”这是我们唯一的逃生机会！”克拉斯把他那长长的爬行动物脖子指向噼啪作响的球体，四个朋友朝眩目的蓝色闪电驶去。
