11 Whose Humongous Tail Is That

Chapter 11 WHOSE HUMONGOUS TAIL IS THAT? Judy stuck her head out the door. "Take off your pants!" Beeper fished the two small black cases out of his pockets and tossed them through the door. Then he unbuttoned his shorts. The monster fish head sank below the water— with Beeper's shorts between its snaggly jaws! Beeper scrambled into the Time-A-Tron wearing just his lizard T-shirt and a pair of boxer shorts. His boxers had pictures of penguins on them. Andrew slid the door shut.

第十一章那巨大的尾巴是谁的？ 朱迪把头伸出门外。 “把裤子脱了！”Beeper从口袋里掏出两个黑色的小箱子，扔出了门。 然后他解开了短裤的扣子。 巨大的鱼头沉到水里——Beeper的短裤夹在它那蓬乱的下巴之间！Beeper只穿着蜥蜴t恤和一条四角短裤就爬进了Time-A-Tron。 他的拳击短裤上有企鹅的照片。 安德鲁轻轻关上了门。

bong… "Welcome back, little Dubbles," said the Time-A-Tron. "I was afraid I might not see you again. And who is our guest?" "Beeper Jones," said Beeper. He bent down and picked up the black cases. "You're pretty cool for a time-travel machine! My uncle's time-travel machine just grunts." "Beeper is Doctor Kron-Tox's nephew," said Andrew. "But he's a good kid." bong… "Welcome, Master Beeper," said the Time-A-Tron. "Children, please prepare to leave immediately, before the Dunkleosteus returns to munch on the Fast-Fins. They have already been damaged. "But I have good news. There is a bit more tachyon fuel than I thought. We may have enough to rescue your uncle and return to our own time." "May have enough?" said Judy. bong… "And only if we travel more slowly than we did before," said the Time-A-Tron. "Let's go!" said Andrew, pulling down the door that led to the top compartment.

“欢迎回来，小杜布尔斯。” “我怕再也见不到你了。 我们的客人是谁？”“Beeper Jones，”Beeper说。 他弯下腰，捡起黑色的箱子。 “作为一台时间旅行机器，你真是太酷了！”我叔叔的时间旅行机器只会发出咕噜声。” “贝珀是克朗托克斯医生的侄子，”安德鲁说。 “欢迎你，哔哔大师。”时间战神说。 “孩子们，请准备马上离开，不要等到邓克莱斯特鱼回来啃食快鳍鱼。 它们已经被损坏了。 “但是我有好消息。超光速粒子燃料比我想象的要多。 我们也许有足够的钱去救你叔叔，回到我们自己的时代。” “够了吗？”朱迪说。 “除非我们走得比以前慢。”时间战神说。 “我们走吧！”安德鲁说着，拉下了通向顶层包厢的门。

Hooo… hooo… The little owl was sitting on top of the tachyon fuel tank. It opened its beak and spread its wings. "What a great little owl!" said Beeper. He opened one of his small black cases, took out a gadget that looked like a remote control, and pointed it at the owl. ping… ping… ping… "It's a northern pygmy owl!" he said, reading a display at the top of the gadget. "What have you got there?" asked Andrew. "It's a DNA Detector," said Beeper. meep… "All living things got DNA molecules," said Thudd softly from inside the sandwich bag. Andrew opened it. "All DNA molecules different. Turtle DNA different from tiger DNA. Different kindsa owls got different DNA." Beeper nodded. "My uncle gave me this thing so I could find creatures on the island. We can use it to find your uncle!"

那只小猫头鹰正坐在超光速粒子燃料箱上。 它张开嘴，展开翅膀。 “多么伟大的一只小猫头鹰啊！” 他打开一个黑色的小箱子，拿出一个看起来像遥控器的小玩意儿，指着猫头鹰。 平……平……平……“是一只北方侏儒猫头鹰！”他一边说，一边读着设备顶部的显示。 “你拿的是什么？”安得烈问。 “这是一个DNA探测器，”Beeper说。 “所有的生物都有DNA分子，”塞在三明治袋里轻声说。 安德鲁打开了它。“所有的DNA分子都不一样。 海龟的DNA与老虎的DNA不同。 不同种类的猫头鹰有不同的DNA。” 蜂鸣器点点头。“我叔叔给了我这个东西，让我能在岛上找到生物。 我们可以用它来找到你叔叔！”

bong… "Let us hope so," said the Time-A- Tron. "But for now, please do hurry. I shall make room for Master Beeper." When they climbed to the upper compartment, a new silver-blue chair was rising from the floor behind Andrew and Judy's seat. Andrew, Judy, and Beeper strapped themselves in. Andrew took Thudd out of the sandwich bag and put him on the control panel. Judy checked the compartment under the control panel. The shrew's beady brown eyes stared up at her. Its pointy nose twitched. Something stringy was hanging out of its mouth. It was eating the cords that held the earplugs! Judy turned to Andrew and Beeper. "Is everyone ready?" she asked. "Yup," said Andrew. meep… "Okey-dokey," said Thudd. "You bet!" said Beeper. Judy held down the Fast-Forward button. HNNNN… HNNNN… WOOHOOOOO!

“但愿如此。”时间战神说。 “但是现在，请抓紧时间。 我要给贝珀少爷腾地方。” 当他们爬到上层车厢时，一张新的银蓝色椅子从安德鲁和朱迪的座位后面的地板上升起。 安德鲁、朱迪和贝珀都系好安全带。 安德鲁把萨德从三明治袋里拿出来，放在控制面板上。 朱迪检查了控制面板下面的隔间。 鼩鼱的棕色眼睛瞪着她。 它的尖鼻子抽动了一下。它嘴里挂着一根细细的东西。 它在吃固定耳塞的绳子！朱迪转向安德鲁和Beeper。 “大家都准备好了吗？”她问。 “是的。”安德鲁说。“好吧，好吧。” “当然！”朱迪按住快进键。 呜……呜……呜！

The Fast-Fins began to spin. At first, the Time- A-Tron whirled sideways in the water. Then it rose straight up and fluttered just above the surface. As the Fast-Fins spun faster, balls of green light flickered around the Time-A-Tron. BLAFOOOOOM! "Nice ride!" said Beeper, leaning over the front seat. "What's that button you're pushing?" "It's the Fast-Forward button," said Judy. "I have to hold it down till we get to twenty thousand years ago. That's when we start looking for Uncle Al." "That's how I can help!" Beeper said. "I'll set the DNA Detector for human DNA." The numbers on the digital display were flipping by more slowly than before: 246 MILLION YEARS AGO 185 MILLION YEARS AGO 93 MILLION YEARS AGO Now and then, the sky was lit by an exploding star.

快鳍开始旋转。 起初，“时间战神”号在水中横着打转。 然后它笔直地上升，在水面上方拍打着翅膀。 随着快鳍旋转得越来越快，绿光球在“时空创”周围闪烁。 BLAFOOOOOM !“骑得不错！”Beeper俯身在前座上说。 “你按的那个按钮是什么？”“这是快进键，”朱迪说。 “我必须把它压下去，直到我们回到两万年前。 那时我们就开始找阿尔叔叔了。” “这就是我能帮上忙的地方！”蜂鸣器说。 “我将为人类DNA设置DNA探测器。” 数字显示器上的数字翻得比以前慢多了：2.46亿年前1.85亿年前9300万年前不时地，天空被一颗爆炸的恒星照亮。

"Let go of the Fast-Forward button," yelled Beeper. "The DNA Detector says we're close to a human!" bong… "I do not think so," said the Time-A- Tron. "We are approaching sixty-five million years ago. There are no humans here." "It could be Professor Wilde!" said Andrew. "We've got to stop." Professor Winka Wilde was one of Uncle Al's partners. She had been kidnapped before Uncle Al. Judy let go of the Fast-Forward button. BUH-BUH-BUH ZNERKKK! The Time-A-Tron wobbled to a stop. They were in a dark green forest, next to a giant gray boulder. Andrew rubbed his eyes. "Um, I thought I saw that boulder move," he said. "Probably because the Time-A-Tron smacked into it when we landed," said Judy. "Hoo boy!" said Beeper, peering down through the dome. "This boulder has a tail! A monster tail

“放开快进键，”Beeper喊道。 “DNA探测器说我们离人类很近！”轰……“我不这么认为，”时间战神说。 “我们正在接近6500万年前。 这里没有人类。” “可能是王尔德教授！”安德鲁说。 “我们必须停下来。”温卡·王尔德教授是阿尔叔叔的合伙人之一。 她在艾尔叔叔之前被绑架过。 朱迪松开了快进键。 BUH-BUH-BUH ZNERKKK !“时空创”摇晃着停了下来。 他们在一片深绿色的森林里，旁边是一块巨大的灰色巨石。 安德鲁揉了揉眼睛。“嗯，我想我看到那块巨石移动了，”他说。 “可能是因为我们着陆的时候，时空战神撞到了它。”朱迪说。 “好小子！”Beeper说，透过穹顶往下看。 “这块巨石有尾巴！”怪物的尾巴
