4 Doctor Brain

CHAPTER 4 DOCTOR BRAIN I FEEL SMARTER ALREADY! Mom asks me to take out the garbage. Where's my clone when I need him? Then I have an idea. If I'm going to be a scientist, I have to look like one. So I mess up my hair—good start. I put on my trick glasses with the funny eyeballs—even better. Then I put on my mom's white coat— I'm there!

第4章大脑医生我已经觉得自己聪明多了！妈妈叫我把垃圾拿出去。 我需要克隆人的时候他在哪里？ 然后我有了一个主意。如果我要成为一名科学家，我就得看起来像个科学家。 所以我把头发弄乱了——很好的开始。 我戴上了那副有滑稽眼球的魔术眼镜——更棒了。 然后我穿上妈妈的白大褂——我在那儿！

I look in the mirror and see a scientist looking back. "Eureka! I've arrived!" I shout. There's a zingin' in my brain. Now I have lots of ideas! I can make telephones out of two tin cans connected by a string. It would work for local calls. For long-distance calls, I'll just get a longer string. CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

我照镜子，看到一个科学家在回头看我。 “尤里卡!我已经到了!”我喊。 在我的脑海里回荡着歌声。 现在我有很多想法了！我可以用一根绳子把两个锡罐连起来做电话。 它可以打本地电话。 打长途电话，我就换一根长一点的线。 你现在能听到我说话吗？

I could make antigravity slippers out of banana peels, eye- balls out of eggshells, or roller skates out of apple cores. Maybe I'll build a rocket, but that would make a lot of racket. I could create gum that quiet- ly chews itself while you're in class! Or I could even make a TV remote that opens a book.

我可以用香蕉皮做反重力拖鞋，用蛋壳做眼球，或者用苹果核做旱冰鞋。 也许我会造一个火箭，但那会引起很大的噪音。 我可以发明一种口香糖，可以在你上课的时候安静地自我咀嚼！或者我甚至可以做一个可以打开一本书的电视遥控器。

I could make a robot that rows a rowboat. I'll call him Robert the Rowboat Robot. It's a good tongue twister, anyway. I'm too confused to choose. Cloning still leads the pack, but maybe I'll make a laugh machine.

我可以做一个会划划艇的机器人。 我就叫他罗伯特划艇机器人。 不管怎样，这是一个很好的绕口令。 我太困惑了，无法选择。 克隆技术仍然领先，但也许我会制造一个笑机。
