Chapter 13 BATS, PART FOUR: HE MISS THEM ALREADY. DON'T FORGET TO WRITE. Po was at school on Saturday morning. Saturday! Not only that, but he was excited to be there. If someone had predicted that a few weeks ago, he wouldn't have believed it. But he wouldn't miss what happened next for anything. As he rolled up, he could see that his friends were there, too. They were hanging out on the sidewalk when a van pulled up to the front of the school. The vehicle was decorated with images of bats, bugs, and mice. All the creatures were covered with big red slashes.

第十三章蝙蝠，第四部分：他已经开始想念它们了。 别忘了写信。阿宝星期六早上在学校。 周六!不仅如此，他还很兴奋能去那里。 如果有人在几周前预测到这一点，他肯定不会相信。 但他无论如何也不会错过接下来发生的事。 当他起床时，他可以看到他的朋友们也在那里。 他们在人行道上闲逛时，一辆面包车停在了学校前面。 这辆车装饰着蝙蝠、虫子和老鼠的图案。 所有的动物身上都布满了红色的大斜纹。

Ms. Minerva came out of the school building. She saw Po and the others and gave them a big thumbs-up. Then she turned toward the exterminator as he shuffled forward. He moved slowly under all his heavy gear. Ms. Minerva waved him away. "I'm sorry," she said. "It seems we don't need your services after all." The man was clearly confused. "Isn't this the school with the bats?" "It was the school with the bats," answered the teacher. "Now it's the school with students who are intelligent, compassionate problem-solvers." She winked at Po and his friends. "That's cool," said the exterminator. "How about roaches? You got any of those?"

密涅瓦女士走出了教学楼。 她看到阿宝和其他人，对他们竖起大拇指。 然后她转向灭虫员，他拖着脚向前走。 他背着沉重的装备慢慢地走着。 密涅瓦挥手让他走开。 “对不起，”她说。“看来我们根本不需要你的服务了。” 那人显然很困惑。 “这不是那个有蝙蝠的学校吗？”“是有蝙蝠的学校，”老师回答说。 “现在，这所学校的学生都是聪明、富有同情心的问题解决者。” 她对阿宝和他的朋友眨了眨眼。 “太酷了，”灭虫员说。 “蟑螂怎么样？”你有这些东西吗？”

Ms. Minerva took him by the elbow and steered him back toward his van. "We can handle things from here," she said. The exterminator grumbled, still not sure of what had just happened. As the exterminator drove off, Po and his friends exchanged high fives and fist bumps. Ms. Minerva approached them. "I had to check the entire school to be sure," she said. "But it's true. There's not a single—" Suddenly, Doc came hurtling out the front doors of the school. "Nobody panic!" she

密涅瓦抓住他的胳膊肘，把他拉回货车。 “我们可以在这里处理事情，”她说。 灭虫员嘟囔着，仍然不确定刚才发生了什么。 当灭虫员开车离开时，阿宝和他的朋友们互相击掌和碰拳。 密涅瓦走近他们。 “为了确定，我不得不检查整个学校，”她说。 “但这是真的。没有一个——”突然，医生从学校的前门冲了出来。 “不要惊慌！

cried. "I can fix our problem! Probably." "Wow," said Po. "Does everybody come to school on Saturdays?" "I've been here all night, perfecting this," said Doc. She held up a strange contraption. It looked like an oversized tuning fork, but it had wires running along it and buttons that lit up like Christmas lights. "By using the principles of echolocation, my crooning fork should produce a sound that will repel the bats without causing human ears to bleed. Again, probably." She cleared her throat. "I just have to find the things first. The school is still infested, isn't it?" Ms. Minerva smirked. "You missed all the fun, Doc. These five solved the problem for us." "Follow us," said Ash. "We'll show you how." The school property went far back. They led their teachers past the main office building. They

哭了。“我能解决我们的问题！”可能。” “哇，”阿宝说。“每个人星期六都来上学吗？”“我整晚都在这里，完善这个，”医生说。 她举起一个奇怪的装置。 它看起来像一个超大的音叉，但它上面有电线，还有像圣诞灯一样亮着的按钮。 “通过回声定位的原理，我的低吟叉子应该发出一种声音，可以击退蝙蝠，而不会导致人的耳朵流血。 再一次,可能。”她清了清嗓子。 “我得先把东西找出来。 学校里还有虫子，是不是？”Ms。 密涅瓦傻笑。“你错过了所有的乐趣，医生。 这五个人帮我们解决了问题。” “跟我们来。”阿什说。“我们会教你怎么做的。” 学校的财产可以追溯到很久以前。 他们领着老师走过办公大楼。 他们

led them past the portables. They led them past the playground. And they kept going. Finally, they came to a wooden structure at the far end of the lawn. It looked like a shed—the sort where a groundskeeper would store gardening tools. But it had dozens of long, thin openings along the top. "Has this always been here?" asked Doc. "No, we built it last night," said Ash. "While my scout troop sealed up the school to keep the bats out, Ms. Minerva helped the five of us put this structure together. We wanted the bats to have someplace nearby to call home." "We call it the bat house," Po said. "For

带他们经过便携设备。 他们领着他们经过操场。 他们继续前进。最后，他们来到了草坪尽头的一座木结构建筑前。 它看起来像一个棚子——就是那种园艺员存放园艺工具的地方。 但它的顶部有几十个又长又细的开口。 “这东西一直在这儿吗？”医生问。 “不，我们昨晚建的。”阿什说。 我所在的童子军封锁了学校，不让蝙蝠进来。 密涅瓦帮助我们五个人建造了这座建筑。 我们想让蝙蝠在附近有个家。” “我们叫它蝙蝠屋，”阿宝说。 ”
