1 Buried Alive!

Chapter 1 BURIED ALIVE! KRAAAAAAAAK-UKK-UKKK-UKKKK! "Holy moly!" hollered Andrew Dubble. "It feels like an earthquake!" Another giant asteroid smashed into the Time- A-Tron time machine. Andrew and his thirteen- year-old cousin Judy bounced in their big blue seat. Just two hours ago, they'd been pigging out on pizza with their Uncle Al. Now asteroids were burying them inside the very beginning of planet Earth!

第一章活埋！KRAAAAAAAAK-UKK-UKKK-UKKKK !“天哪！”安德鲁·杜布尔喊道。 “感觉像地震一样！”另一颗巨大的小行星撞进了时间机器。 安德鲁和他13岁的表妹朱迪在他们蓝色的大座位上跳来跳去。 就在两小时前，他们还在和阿尔叔叔大吃披萨。 现在，小行星把它们埋在了地球最开始的地方！

In front of Andrew and Judy's chair was a control panel. Its digital display flashed: 4 BILLION 500 MILLION YEARS AGO Judy looked up through the clear dome of the Time-A-Tron. All she could see was solid rock! "Cheese Louise!" she grumped. "These stupid asteroids and comets stick together like snowballs! We're trapped inside tons of rock!" meep… "Asteroids and comets make planets," squeaked a voice from Andrew's pajama pocket. It was Thudd, Andrew's little silver robot and best friend. bong… "That is right, little one," said the Time-A-Tron. "Without asteroids, there would be no solid Earth, no air. Without comets, there would be little water." "Oh, clap a lid on it, guys!" said Judy. "All I want to know is how to get out of here." She banged the heel of her slipper on the Fast-Forward button. When it worked, the Fast-Forward button moved the Time-A-Tron forward through time.

安德鲁和朱迪的椅子前面是一个控制面板。 显示屏上的数字闪烁着：45亿年前，朱迪透过“时空创”的透明穹顶向上望去。 她只能看到坚硬的岩石！“奶酪露易丝！” “这些愚蠢的小行星和彗星像雪球一样粘在一起！”“小行星和彗星会形成行星，”安德鲁的睡衣口袋里传来一个声音尖叫道。 那是泰德，安德鲁的银色小机器人，也是他最好的朋友。 “没错，小家伙。”时间战神说。 “没有小行星，就没有固体地球，没有空气。 没有彗星，就没有水了。” “哦，盖上盖子，伙计们！”朱迪说。 “我只想知道怎么离开这里。” 她把拖鞋的后跟重重地踩在快进按钮上。 当它工作时，“快进”按钮使“时空创”在时间中向前移动。

Flack! Flack! Flack! But there were no balls of green light. The Time-A-Tron's Fast-Fins wouldn't spin. bong… "I am afraid the Fast-Fins are stuck in stone," said the Time-A-Tron. "If the Fast-Fins cannot spin, we cannot move forward in time." Judy pushed her face close to Andrew's. "This is all your fault, Bug-Brain," she said. "If you hadn't gotten your stupid fudge stuck on the Fast- Back button, we wouldn't have traveled to the beginning of the universe in our pajamas!" meep… "Drewd! Oody! Look!" squeaked Thudd. He was pointing to the Super-Peeper. The Super-Peeper looked like a pumpkin-sized snow globe. It could show what was happening anywhere in the universe. Right now, it showed a sky full of asteroids… speeding toward baby Earth!

宣传!宣传!宣传!但是没有绿光球。 时间战神的快鳍不会旋转。 “恐怕快鳍卡在石头里了。”时间战神说。 “如果Fast-Fins不能旋转，我们就不能及时前进。” 朱迪把脸凑近安德鲁的脸。 “这都是你的错，虫脑，”她说。 “如果你没有把你那愚蠢的软糖卡在快退键上，我们就不会穿着睡衣去宇宙的起点了！”Oody !看！” 他指着超级窥视者。 超级窥视者看起来像一个南瓜大小的雪花玻璃球。 它可以显示宇宙中任何地方发生的事情。 现在，它显示了一个充满小行星的天空……加速冲向婴儿地球！

KEEERUCCKK! GRAAACK! SPLURSH! Through the dome of the Time-A-Tron, Andrew watched the rock around them start to glow and melt and swirl. "Yowzers!" yelled Andrew. "Yiiiikes!" hollered Judy. meep… "Giant asteroids hit hard, hard, hard!" said Thudd. "Make heat. Clapping hands make little heat. Smashing asteroids make big heat! Rocks melt!"

KEEERUCCKK !GRAAACK !SPLURSH !透过时代创的穹顶，安德鲁看到他们周围的岩石开始发光、融化、旋转。 “尤尔斯！”安德鲁喊道。“我喜欢！”朱迪喊道。 “巨大的小行星撞得很重，很重，很重！” “让热量。拍手产生的热量很少。 小行星撞击会产生巨大的热量！岩石融化!”

Thudd pointed to the much bigger Earth that now appeared in the Super-Peeper. meep… "Baby Earth getting born! Getting big!" Judy rolled her eyes. "I wish the Earth would get born somewhere else," she said. Suddenly the Time-A-Tron was tumbling along a river of flaming rock. bong… "We are following the molecules of Montana again!" said the Time-A-Tron. Montana was where they had started. The Time- A-Tron could move through time. But the only way it could move through space was to follow the molecules of Montana. Andrew squinted up at the dome of the Time-A- Tron. He was looking for cracks and bubbles. "Um, will the Time-A-Tron start to melt like when we were close to the beginning of the universe?" he asked. bong… "The temperature was a billion degrees then, Master Andrew," said the Time-A-Tron. "This rock soup is only two thousand degrees."

萨德指着现在出现在“超级窥视者”上的大得多的地球。 “地球宝宝出生了！”越来越大了!”朱迪翻了个白眼。 “我希望地球能在别的地方诞生，”她说。 突然间，时间战神沿着火石的河流翻滚。 “我们又在追踪蒙大拿的分子了！” 蒙大拿是他们出发的地方。 时间战神可以穿越时间。 但它在太空中移动的唯一方法是跟随蒙大拿的分子。 安德鲁眯起眼睛看着时间战神的圆顶。 他在寻找裂缝和气泡。 “嗯，时间战神会像我们接近宇宙起源时那样开始融化吗？”他问道。 “当时的温度是10亿度，安德鲁少爷。”时间战神说。 “这岩石汤只有两千度。”

Andrew's eyebrows went up. "Judy try the Fast- Forward button again," he said. "Now that the rocks are soft, maybe the Fast-Fins can move." Judy slammed the Fast-Forward button again. Flack! Flack! Flack! HNNNN… HNNNN… WOOHOOOOO! The Time-A-Tron jiggled. Sparks of bright green light flashed outside the dome. "Green sparks!" said Andrew. "The Fast-Fins are working!" BLAFOOOOOOM! bong… "We are off!" said the Time-A-Tron. BUH-BUH-BUH ZNERKKK! The green sparks disappeared. bong… "Oh dear!" said the Time-A-Tron. "We've moved only ten thousand years ahead." They were still in the gushing rock river. It was carrying them toward the surface of baby Earth. "Look!" said Andrew, pointing to the top of the Time-A-Tron's dome. "I see stars!"

安德鲁的眉毛扬了起来。 “朱迪，再按一下快进键，”他说。 “现在岩石变软了，也许快鳍可以移动了。” 朱迪又猛按了一下快进键。 宣传!宣传!宣传!呜……呜……呜！时间机器抖动起来。 圆顶外面闪着绿光的火花。 “绿色火花！”安德鲁说。 “快鳍起作用了！”BLAFOOOOOOM !“我们出发了！”时间战神说。 BUH-BUH-BUH ZNERKKK !绿色的火花消失了。 “哦，天哪！”时间战神说。 “我们只向前推进了一万年。” 他们还在奔涌的岩石河中。 它把它们带向了新生地球的表面。 “看！”安德鲁指着时间战神的穹顶顶端说。 “我看见星星了！”
