9 Tsunami!

Chapter 9 TSUNAMI! "We can't let the Time-A-Tron get away!" yelled Andrew. He shoved the half-eaten sandwich into his pocket and pushed through a tangle of vines. "Noop! Noop! Noop!" said Thudd. "Gotta climb tree!" "That's nutso!" said Judy. "We're losing the Time-A-Tron and you're telling us to go climb a tree?" meep… "Tsunami coming!" said Thudd. "Giant wave made by earthquake! Tsunami wave can be hundred feet high!"

第九章海啸！“我们不能让时间战神跑了！”安德鲁喊道。 他把吃了一半的三明治塞进口袋，穿过一团藤蔓。 “等待!等待!不！” “要爬树！”“太疯狂了！”朱迪说。 “我们要失去时间战神了，你却叫我们去爬树？” “地震引起的巨浪！”海啸浪可以有一百英尺高！”

"Holy moly!" said Andrew. Judy looked up. "Are these trees tall enough to keep us from getting washed away? Will the trees get washed away?" "Just climb!" said Beeper. He was already ten feet up a tree. It swayed as he climbed higher. "Beeper's tree is too skinny for all of us," said Andrew. He found a fatter tree and started climbing. "Hurry up," said Judy, following him. The tree trunk was like the skin of a pineapple. The scaly bark kept snagging Andrew's pajamas. There were no branches to hang on to. Andrew looked down. The beach and the ferns looked far away. Andrew felt dizzy. meep… "Hurry!" squeaked Thudd. "Water coming!" On the horizon, Andrew saw a thin, dark line. It was getting wider and nearer by the second.

“天哪！”安德鲁说。朱迪抬起头来。 “这些树够高，能让我们不被冲走吗？” 这些树会被冲走吗？”“爬吧！”哔哔说。 他已经在10英尺高的树上了。 他爬得越高，它就越摇晃。 “对我们所有人来说，Beeper的树太瘦了，”安德鲁说。 他找到了一棵更粗的树，开始往上爬。 “快点，”朱迪跟着他说。 树干就像菠萝的皮。 带鳞的树皮不停地抓着安德鲁的睡衣。 没有树枝可以抓住。 安德鲁低下头。海滩和蕨类植物看起来很遥远。 安德鲁感到头晕。“快点！”泰德尖声说。 “水来了!”在地平线上，安德鲁看到一条细细的黑线。 它越来越宽，越来越近了。

Andrew and Judy were only halfway up the tree. "Move it, Andrew!" yelled Judy. "Wait a minute," said Andrew. "I've got to keep Thudd from getting wet." The last time Thudd had gotten wet, his thought chips had gotten soggy. He had been in very bad shape. Andrew hung on to the trunk with one hand and searched his pockets for a Bubble Bag. He'd invented the Bubble Bag to keep Thudd dry. "Uh-oh," said Andrew. "I can't find my Bubble Bags. But I do have this."

安德鲁和朱迪只爬到树的一半。 “让开，安德鲁！”朱迪喊道。 “等一下。”安德鲁说。 “我得不让泰德淋湿。” 上次泰德淋湿的时候，他的思想薯片湿透了。 他的状态一直很糟糕。 安德鲁一只手抓住箱子，在口袋里搜寻着一个泡泡袋。 他发明了泡泡袋来让泰德保持干燥。 “哦哦，”安德鲁说。“我找不到我的泡泡袋了。 但我有这个。”

He pulled out the bag with the half-eaten sandwich inside. "Why are you stopping?" Beeper yelled from his tree. "I'm going to use the sandwich bag to protect Thudd," said Andrew. "He can't get wet." "Just don't dump my sandwich," said Beeper. "You can squeeze Thudd in on top of the bread." "Okay" said Andrew. Quickly, he stuffed Thudd in with the sandwich and tucked him back in his pocket. Andrew and Judy scrambled up to the long, brushy branches at the top of the swaying tree. The dark line on the horizon had become a huge wall of water rolling toward the shore. The nearer it got, the higher it got. "The water is as high as the trees!" cried Judy. "Hang on!" said Andrew. KRAAAAAAAASHHH! The water slammed into their tree. It was cold and hard. Andrew closed his eyes, held his breath,

他拿出装着吃了一半的三明治的袋子。 “你为什么停下来？”哔哔从他的树上喊道。 “我要用三明治袋来保护泰德，”安德鲁说。 “他不能被淋湿。”“别把我的三明治倒了，”哔哔说。 “你可以把泰德塞在面包上。” “好吧，”安德鲁说。他迅速地把三明治塞进泰德的口袋，塞回口袋里。 安德鲁和朱迪爬上那棵摇曳的树顶上又长又多毛的树枝。 地平线上的那条黑线变成了一堵巨大的水墙，向海岸滚滚而来。 它离得越近，越高。 “水和树一样高！”朱迪叫道。 “等等！”安德鲁说。KRAAAAAAAASHHH !水猛力打在他们的树上。 天气又冷又硬。安德鲁闭上眼睛，屏住呼吸，

and clung tight to his branch. He felt the water dragging powerfully at the tree, bending it. Suddenly the tree jerked loose! The wave swept them back into the forest. Andrew pushed his head between his arms to keep from being scratched by branches. Then the wave began to go down and move in the opposite direction. It was dragging them back toward the beach. Andrew lifted his head. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of orange. Beeper's T- shirt! Beeper was still up in his tree on the edge of the forest. He was pointing and yelling. Andrew couldn't hear every word, but he thought he could make out "Time-A-Tron!"

紧紧抓住他的树枝。 他感到河水猛烈地拖着树，把它弄弯了。 突然，那棵树猛地挣脱了！海浪把他们卷回了森林。 安德鲁把他的头夹在两臂之间，以免被树枝划伤。 然后波浪开始下降，朝相反的方向移动。 它正把他们拖向海滩。 安德鲁抬起头。他从眼角瞥见了橙色。 哔哔的T恤！贝珀还在森林边上的树上。 他指指点点，大喊大叫。 安德鲁听不清每一个字，但他认为他能听出“时空创！”
