11 It’s Mad Science Time

CHAPTER ELEVEN IT'S MAD SCIENCE TIME Franny looked at the kids. They looked even more afraid of her now than they ever had before. She thought about trying to be sweet or less scary, but that just wasn't going to get things done. "Do as I command!" she said in her most scary mad scientist voice. "Go get your lunches!" The kids stopped running in circles and ran to get their lunches. Mad scientists, even when they're only four feet tall, can be very persuasive.

第十一章疯狂科学时间弗兰尼看着孩子们。 他们现在似乎比以前更怕她了。 她想过试着表现得温柔一点，或者不那么吓人，但这并不能解决问题。 “照我说的做！”她用最可怕的疯狂科学家的声音说。 “去吃午饭吧！”孩子们停止了兜圈子，跑去拿午餐。 疯狂的科学家，即使他们只有四英尺高，也能很有说服力。

"Put the bread in one pile and the lunch meat in another," she barked. The kids did as they were told and quickly disassembled their sandwiches. Franny was busy examining the bottom of the trash can. "I think there's just enough of this unstable industrial waste left to do the trick."

“把面包放在一堆，午餐肉放在另一堆，”她叫道。 孩子们照吩咐做了，迅速拆开了三明治。 弗兰妮正忙着检查垃圾桶的底部。 “我认为，剩下的这种不稳定的工业废料足以达到这个目的。”

Franny worked fast. She told the kids exactly how to arrange the lunch meat and how to get the bread ready. They were afraid, but they did what she said, and they did it quickly. Being the only mad scientist around, she was the expert on unstable industrial waste, so she took care of that personally. Then Franny pulled a needle and thread from her backpack. "This will require absolute silence," she said, and the kids watched her begin stitching the lunch meat together.

弗兰妮动作很快。她确切地告诉孩子们如何安排午餐肉和如何准备面包。 他们很害怕，但还是照她说的做了，而且做得很快。 作为周围唯一的疯狂科学家，她是不稳定工业废料方面的专家，所以她亲自处理这个问题。 然后弗兰妮从背包里拿出一根针线。 “这需要绝对的安静，”她说，孩子们看着她开始把午餐肉缝在一起。

Franny worked quickly as the kids watched in terror, occasionally handing her additional slices of salami or bologna when she so instructed. They knew they were watching something not of this world, something that no human eyes had ever seen before, and in that moment the pants wetter decided to let loose one more time.

孩子们惊恐地看着弗兰妮飞快地干活，偶尔会在她的指示下再递给她几片意大利腊肠或腊肠。 他们知道他们看到的不是这个世界的东西，是人类的眼睛从未见过的东西，就在那一刻，湿裤子的人决定再松开一次。
