15 Channel Surfing

CHAPTER FIFTEEN CHANNEL SURFING Franny looked at her equipment. She had a screwdriver, her watch, and the remote control fox the Shrinkerizer. "Yeah, the remote control," she said, suddenly grinning broadly. She quickly unscrewed the back and started making some adjustments.

第十五章频道冲浪弗兰尼看着她的设备。 她有一把螺丝刀，她的手表，还有那个遥控器。 “是的，遥控器，”她说，突然咧嘴一笑。 她迅速拧开后盖，开始做一些调整。

"I made Igor's TV and its remote control. I should be able to rewire this one so that I can control the TV from here!" Franny looked at her wrist screen and pushed a button on the rewired remote control. She could see the channel change on Igor's television.

“伊戈尔的电视和遥控器都是我做的。 我应该能把这根电线重新接上，这样我就可以在这里控制电视了！”弗兰妮看了看手腕上的屏幕，按下了重新接线的遥控器上的一个按钮。 她可以看到伊戈尔家的电视换台了。

"Success!" she shouted "Now watch carefully, you little tube head," she said. Franny started switching channels feverishly. She could see the channels fly past Igor's gaze. She passed commercials for cars, toys, blue jeans, and hamburgers. "C'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" she yelled. "Trying to save the world here!" Finally she stopped on a commercial for corn chips. "This is what I need," she said.

“成功了！”她喊道。“现在仔细看，你这个小管子头，”她说。 弗兰妮开始狂热地切换频道。 她可以看到沟渠从伊戈尔的视线中掠过。 她走过汽车、玩具、牛仔裤和汉堡包的广告。 “来吧，来吧，来吧！” “想在这里拯救世界！”最后她停在一个玉米片的广告上。 “这就是我需要的，”她说。

Igor watched the commercial for a minute and then Franny saw him leave the room. In a moment he was hack with a bag of corn chips. "I knew he'd want them!" Franny said.

伊戈尔看了一会儿广告，然后弗兰尼看见他离开了房间。 不一会儿，他手里拿着一袋玉米片。 “我就知道他会想要的！”弗兰妮说。

Franny saw fragments of munched-up corn chips start tumbling into Igor's stomach. "Perfect, exactly what I need," she said, grabbing two triangular bits and pulling them to one side. "Now hopefully all the corn chips have made him thirsty."

弗兰妮看到嚼碎的玉米片开始滚进伊戈尔的胃里。 “太好了，正是我需要的。”她说着，抓了两个三角形的小块，把它们拉到一边。 “希望现在所有的玉米片都让他口渴了。”

Franny watched Igor on her little screen. He may have been thirsty, but he wasn't going anywhere. Franny could hear the Doomsday Device ticking down. "Oh, come on, Igor. Who doesn't get thirsty from corn chips?" she yelled. "I think he needs a little inspiration," she said, and started changing the channel again. She found a broadcast of a marathon with tired, hot runners racing down a scorching road. "This should make

弗兰妮在她的小屏幕上看着伊戈尔。 他可能渴了，但他哪儿也不去。 弗兰妮可以听到末日装置滴答作响。 “哦，别这样，伊戈尔。谁吃了玉米片不渴啊？”她喊道。 “我觉得他需要一点灵感，”她说，然后又开始换台。 她看到了一场马拉松比赛的广播，疲惫、炎热的跑步者在炎热的道路上奔跑。 “这应该会使
