8 Time to Flea

chapter 8 TIME TO FLEA An instant later, it was above them. Its claws gripped the tops of the dog hairs. Above the claws, six long legs bristled with sharp hairs. One by one, the legs slipped down to Harley's skin. Andrew and Judy ran. But one of the legs caught the belts that held them together. They were trapped! Andrew looked up. A huge armored creature towered over them. Pointy hairs stuck out all over its body. A snout hung down in front. It was a sharp, prickly snout! Above the snout were two black cannonball eyes. meep… "Flea!" Thudd said. "Flea not see Drewd and Judy. Flea not see much. But flea feel

第八章跳蚤的时间过了一会儿，它就在他们上面了。 它的爪子抓住狗毛的顶端。 爪子上方是六条长腿，长着尖锐的毛发。 一条接着一条，腿滑到哈利的皮肤上。 安德鲁和朱迪跑了。但其中一条腿抓住了把它们绑在一起的皮带。 他们被困住了！安德鲁抬起头来。 一个身披盔甲的庞然大物耸立在他们上方。 它身上到处都是尖尖的毛发。 一只鼻子垂在前面。 那是一个尖利多刺的鼻子！在它的鼻子上方有两只黑色的像炮弹一样的眼睛。 meep…“跳蚤!”Thudd说。 “跳蚤看不到德鲁和朱迪。 跳蚤看得不多。但是跳蚤感觉

living thing move. Flea jump on! Flea need blood to live." The flea lowered its needle-sharp snout-mouth to Harley's skin. Andrew and Judy yanked at their belts, trying to get free. Maybe the flea felt something. Instead of biting Harley it jumped! Up and up they went! Andrew had the feeling in his stomach that he got when an airplane took off.

生物会移动。跳蚤跳上去！跳蚤需要血才能活。” 跳蚤把它尖尖的嘴伸向哈利的皮肤。 安德鲁和朱迪使劲拉着腰带，想挣脱。 也许跳蚤感觉到了什么。 它没有咬哈利，而是跳了起来！他们越升越高！安德鲁心里有一种飞机起飞时的感觉。

The wind whooshed by their faces. It was scary to see how high they were! meep… "If human jump like flea, human jump six hundred feet high!" Thudd squeaked. Then they were zooming down, down, down! They could see the top of Harley's head and the furry brown hilltops of his ears. "Hold on, Andrew!" screamed Judy. "We're going to crash!" The flea landed on top of Harley's head. Andrew and Judy were jolted loose from the flea's leg. They tumbled down through the hairs to Harley's skin. A dark shadow passed over them as the flea crept along the hairs above. "Let's head for Harley's ear," said Judy. "It's high, so we can look around. And if anything nasty comes along, we can hide inside. I'll bet it's like a big cave in there." Judy and Andrew trudged through the dog hair. Suddenly Andrew felt like he was on an elevator

风从他们脸上呼啸而过。 看到它们有多高真让人害怕！“如果人类像跳蚤一样跳，人类就能跳600英尺高！”Thudd发出“吱吱”的响声。 然后他们开始急速下降，下降，下降！他们可以看到哈利的头顶和毛茸茸的棕色耳尖。 “坚持住，安德鲁！”朱迪尖叫道。 “我们要坠毁了！”跳蚤落在哈利的头顶上。 安德鲁和朱迪从跳蚤的腿上挣脱出来。 它们从哈利的头发里滚到哈利的皮肤上。 跳蚤沿着上面的毛发爬来爬去，一个黑影掠过他们的头顶。 “我们朝哈利的耳朵走去吧，”朱迪说。 “它很高，所以我们可以四处看看。 如果有什么可怕的事情发生，我们可以躲在里面。 我敢打赌，那里就像一个大洞穴。” 朱迪和安德鲁在狗毛堆里艰难地走着。 安德鲁突然觉得自己像是在电梯里

going up! Harley wasn't sleeping anymore. He was on the move. And so were his ears!

上升!哈利再也睡不着了。 他在移动。他的耳朵也是如此！
