3 Back at the Lab

CHAPTER THREE BACK AT THE LAB Back at the lab Franny thought about what her presentation would be. Fortunately Franny had an assistant to help her with things like this.

第三章回到实验室回到实验室，弗兰妮在想她的报告该怎么做。 幸运的是，弗兰尼有一个助手可以帮她处理这类事情。

Igor was Franny's dog and lab assistant. (He wasn't a pure Lab. He was also part poodle, part Chihuahua, part beagle, part spaniel, part shepherd, and part some kind of weasly thing that wasn't even exactly a dog.)

伊戈尔是弗兰妮的狗和实验室助手。 (他不是纯种的拉布拉多犬。他也有狮子狗、吉娃娃、小猎犬、西班牙猎犬、牧羊犬的血统，还有某种狡猾的东西的血统，甚至算不上狗。)

Franny had told Igor about Miss Shelly's assignment, and he was doing his best to make suggestions.

弗兰尼已经把雪莉小姐的任务告诉了伊戈尔，他正在尽力提出建议。

He reminded her of the time she had brought a garden gnome to life and they'd had to stay locked in the bathroom until the police came. Igor thought the kids would like that. "I don't want to take in a garden gnome," she said.

他提醒她，有一次，她让一个花园里的侏儒活了过来，他们不得不锁在浴室里，直到警察来。 伊戈尔觉得孩子们会喜欢的。 “我不想收留一个花园里的地精，”她说。

He reminded her of the time she had increased the vacuum cleaner's power and had sucked her little brother inside out.

他提醒她，有一次，她加大了吸尘器的功率，把她弟弟的内脏吸了出来。

"Mom made me promise never to do that again," she said. He reminded her of the time she had engineered a cannibalistic hot dog that actually ate itself.

“妈妈让我保证再也不这么做了，”她说。 他提醒她，有一次她设计了一种食人热狗，它实际上吃了自己。
