13 I Think I Got Gum in My Hair And Everywhere Else

CHAPTER THIRTEEN I THINK I GOT GUM IN MY HAIR. AND EVERYWHERE ELSE. Franny was running out of time. If she didn't find the device quickly, that would be the end of her and Igor, and her lab, and a gigantic chunk of planet Earth. Franny thought, Sometimes I wonder if I should just stop building these sorts of horribly destructive things in the first place. Franny laughed a little. "Yeah, right," she said.

我想我的头发上有口香糖。 还有其他地方。弗兰妮的时间不多了。 如果她不能尽快找到那个装置，她和伊戈尔，她的实验室，以及地球的一大块都会完蛋。 弗兰妮想，有时候我在想，我是否应该从一开始就停止建造这些可怕的破坏性的东西。 弗兰妮笑了笑。“是啊，没错，”她说。

And then she spotted it, the Doomsday Device, bobbing next to a piece of peanut brittle. It had floated up to the surface and was ticking down the seconds until it would explode. Franny swam toward it as fast as she could, paying no attention to the peculiar pink strands that swayed between her and the bomb. Just as she was about to grab the device, Franny found she could go no farther. She looked down and saw that her legs were tangled in the sticky pink junk. She tried to free herself

然后她发现了它，末日装置，在一块花生糖旁边上下浮动。 它已经浮上了水面，倒计时着就要爆炸了。 弗兰妮以最快的速度向它游去，没有注意在她和炸弹之间摇摆的奇特的粉红色线。 就在她要拿起设备的时候，弗兰尼发现她再也走不动了。 她低头一看，发现自己的腿被黏糊糊的粉色垃圾缠住了。 她试图挣脱束缚

and got her hands stuck in it as well. The more she struggled, the worse she became entangled. "Gum!" Franny said. "That dog has been swallowing his bubble gum!" Franny had been so close, but now it looked like it was over. She was completely trapped by the gum, and time was running out.

她的手也卡在里面了。 她越是挣扎，越是纠缠不清。 “口香糖!”弗兰妮说。“那只狗一直在吞他的泡泡糖！”弗兰尼差一点就成功了，但现在看来一切都结束了。 她完全被口香糖困住了，时间不多了。

"Wait a second," she said, and she wiggled her way over to the peanut brittle. "These edges are almost like broken glass!" She rubbed the strands of gum up and down the edge of the peanut brittle and began cutting and slicing until she was free.

“等一下，”她说着，扭动着身子走到花生糖跟前。 “这些边缘几乎像碎玻璃！”她在花生糖的边缘上下摩擦口香糖，开始切，切片，直到她自由了。

She grabbed the Doomsday Device and pulled out her screwdriver. "You can't stop a mad scientist with a little gum," she said.

她抓起末日装置，拿出螺丝刀。 “你不能用一小块口香糖阻止一个疯狂的科学家，”她说。
