5 Ups and Downs

UPS AND DOWNS "Yeow!" Andrew screamed. He crashed into something rubbery. "Yoof!" Andrew squinted. It was very bright. The light hurt his eyes after the darkness of the nose. "Thudd, what happened?" he asked. meep… "Harley sneeze!" said Thudd. "Sneeze can go one hundred miles an hour— fast as tornado!" Andrew's eyes started to get used to the light. It looked as if they were at the mouth of an enormous cave. They were stuck to the very top of it.

“耶！”安德鲁尖叫。 他撞上了一个有橡胶的东西。 “Yoof !”安德鲁眯起了双眼。天很亮。 在鼻子的黑暗之后，光线刺痛了他的眼睛。 “砰，发生什么事了？”他问。 “哈利，打喷嚏！” “喷嚏时速可达一百英里——快如龙卷风！”安德鲁的眼睛开始适应光线了。 他们看上去就像是站在一个巨大洞穴的入口。 他们被粘在最上面了。

Suddenly Andrew knew where they were. "We're at the end of Harley's nose," said Andrew, "at the top of Harley's nostril!" meep… "Drewd! Look!" Thudd said. "Oody's fingers!" "Where?" asked Andrew. meep… "Down!" said Thudd. Way below, Judy was dangling by her fingertips from the bottom edge of Harley's nostril. "Help!" she screamed. "I can't hold on much longer!" Suddenly a pink tidal wave curled up toward Judy. It was Harley's tongue! It was covered with gigantic bristles, like a monster hairbrush. "Look out!" Andrew shouted. Judy screamed. The tongue picked her up and swooped her toward Andrew.

突然，安德鲁知道他们在哪里。 “我们在哈利的鼻子尖上，”安德鲁说，“在哈利的鼻孔尖上！”看!”Thudd说。 “Oody的手指!”“在哪儿？”安德鲁问。 “趴下！” 在哈利的下方，朱迪正用指尖悬在哈利的鼻孔底部。 “救命！”她尖叫道。“我坚持不了多久了！”突然，一股粉红色的浪潮卷向朱迪。 那是哈利的舌头！上面长满了巨大的鬃毛，就像一把怪物发刷。 “当心!”安德鲁喊道。 朱迪尖叫。舌头把她提起来，向安德鲁扑去。

Andrew reached out to grab Judy as the tongue went by. But all Andrew got were wet tongue bristles. Then the tongue swooped back into Harley's mouth. meep… "Oody gone!" cried Thudd. "Almost gone!" a voice gasped from above. "I'm on top of Harley's nose. Andrew, get out of that nostril and get up here!" Andrew leaned out of the nostril and looked up. Getting to the top of Harley's nose would be like climbing a craggy black cliff.

当舌头经过时，安德鲁伸出手去抓住朱迪。 但安德鲁得到的只是湿漉漉的舌苔。 然后，舌头突然回到哈利的嘴里。 “呜呜！” “快完了！”上面一个声音喘着气说。 “我在哈利的鼻子上。 安德鲁，从那个鼻孔里出来，到这儿来！”安德鲁探出鼻孔，抬起头来。 爬到哈利的鼻尖就像爬陡峭的黑色悬崖。

Andrew tucked Thudd into his back pocket and started to climb. The front of Harley's nose was covered with pits and cracks. Andrew used them to grab on to. Being sticky with nose goo helped. I feel like a fly walking up a wall, Andrew thought. Maybe I can use this nose goo stuff in one of my inventions! Finally, Andrew scrambled over the edge of the nose. It felt good to be somewhere flat, even if it was the top of a dog's nose. meep… "Want to see, please," said Thudd. Andrew put Thudd into his shirt pocket. Ahead was a strange sight. It looked like a blown-down forest of scaly tree trunks. But it was really thousands of dog hairs all leaning in one direction. Judy was leaning against one of the hairs. On her face was a "wait till I get my hands on you" look. Andrew looked over the edge of the nose cliff.

安德鲁把萨德塞进后口袋，开始往上爬。 哈利的鼻子前面布满了坑和裂缝。 安德鲁用它们抓住了。 粘在鼻子上的黏液有帮助。 我觉得自己像只爬墙的苍蝇，安德鲁想。 也许我可以在我的发明中使用这种鼻子好东西！最后，安德鲁爬上了鼻子的边缘。 在某个平坦的地方感觉很好，即使它是狗鼻子的顶部。 “我想看看。” 安德鲁把萨德放进衬衫口袋里。 前面是一个奇怪的景象。 它看起来就像一个被吹倒的长满鳞片的树干的森林。 但实际上是成千上万根狗毛都向一个方向倾斜。 朱迪靠在一根头发上。 她脸上的表情是“等着我弄死你”。 安德鲁朝崖边望去。

"This nose could really use a safety railing," he said. "This is not funny," Judy said. Suddenly everything spun to the right. Andrew was glad he was still sticky. He was too sticky to fall off the nose! "Harley must be getting ready to take a nap!" Judy said. She was clinging to one of the dog hairs. "He always turns around and around first." Finally, Harley curled up in the shade. Harley's sigh rumbled below them like an underground train. Judy and Andrew sat down at the edge of the dog-hair forest. "So how do we get un-shrunk?" Judy asked. "We set the Atom Sucker to UN-SHRINK," said Andrew. "We have eight hours from when I turned it on." "What happens if we don't get back in eight hours?" asked Judy.

“这个鼻子真的需要一个安全栏杆，”他说。 “这一点都不好笑，”朱迪说。 突然，一切都转向了右边。 安德鲁很高兴自己仍然黏糊糊的。 他太粘了，不会掉下来的！“哈利一定是准备睡午觉了！”朱迪说。 她抓着一根狗毛。 “他总是先转过一圈又一圈。” 最后，哈利蜷缩在阴凉处。 哈利的叹息声在他们下面隆隆作响，就像一列地下火车。 朱迪和安德鲁在狗毛森林的边缘坐下。 “那我们怎么才能不缩水呢？”朱迪问。 “我们把原子吸盘设置为不收缩。”安德鲁说。 “从我打开它算起，我们有8个小时。” “如果我们八小时后还没回来怎么办？”朱迪问。

Andrew looked away. "Um… the Atom Sucker might kind of… explode."

安德鲁把目光移开。“嗯……吸盘可能会……爆炸。”
