10 Nomoresauruses

Chapter 10 NOMORESAURUSES "Yerghhh!" groaned Andrew, jerking his head away. "It smells like dead fish!" meep… "Gotta open mouth," said Thudd softly. "And gotta not talk. Gotta act like Quetzalcoatlus chick." "Do I have to?" whispered Andrew. "Yoop," whispered Thudd. "Um… Gack!" squawked Andrew. "Gack! Gack!" He flapped his arms, closed his eyes, and opened his mouth.

“啊！”安德鲁呻吟着，把头扭开了。 “我得张开嘴。”砰德轻声说。 “而且不能说话。要表现得像个风神翼龙小妞。” “一定要吗？”安德鲁小声说。 “哟！”“嗯……哎呀！”安德鲁尖声说。 “Gack !Gack !”他拍拍胳膊，闭上眼睛，张开嘴。

Something lumpy dropped onto his tongue. It was sandy, salty, and squishy. Andrew opened his eyes. The mother Quetzalcoatlus was using her beak to pick through the fuzz on her body. meep… "Scales of reptiles turn into fur for Quetzalcoatlus and feathers for birds," said Thudd. "Feather is just different kind of scale." Andrew spat the squishy stuff out of his mouth. A baby Quetzalcoatlus dove to eat it up. The mother Quetzalcoatlus spread her wings, leaned forward, and launched herself into the air.

有什么东西落在他的舌头上。 它是沙的，咸的，黏糊糊的。 安德鲁睁开眼睛。这只母风神翼龙正在用嘴剔自己身上的绒毛。 “爬行动物的鳞片变成了风神翼龙的皮毛，变成了鸟类的羽毛，”泰德说。 “羽毛只是一种不同的鳞片。” 安德鲁把黏糊糊的东西从嘴里吐了出来。 一只幼年风神翼龙俯冲下来吃掉了它。 母风神翼龙展开翅膀，身体前倾，腾空而起。

"Holy moly!" yelled Andrew. "Get me out of here!" "You did a great job, Andrew!" said Winka, lowering the vines down to the nest. "Wrap this around your waist and we'll bring you up." Andrew twisted the vines around his middle and hung on with both hands as Winka, Judy, and Beeper pulled. "Thanks!" he said as he tugged himself over the edge. "Well," sighed Winka. "We'd better get back to the Time-A-Tron before one of you gets yourself adopted—or eaten—by some giant reptile." Just then, the big purple button in the middle of Thudd's chest popped open. A beam of purple light zoomed out. But Uncle Al wasn't at the end of it. "Oh no!" said Judy. "It's Doctor Kron-Tox again!" tick… tock… tick… tock…

“天哪！”安德鲁叫道。 “把我弄出去！”“你做得很好，安德鲁！”温卡说着，把藤蔓放到了鸟巢里。 “把这个缠在你的腰上，我们带你上去。” 安德鲁把藤蔓缠绕在腰上，双手紧紧抓住，温卡、朱迪和贝珀拉着他。 “谢谢！”他一边说一边把自己拽下悬崖。 “嗯，”温卡叹了口气。“我们最好在你们中的一个被巨型爬行动物收养——或者吃掉——之前回到‘时空创’。” 就在这时，砰的一声，泰德胸前那颗紫色的大扣子打开了。 一束紫光急速射出。 但艾尔叔叔并没有走到最后。 “哦，不！”朱迪说。“又是克朗托克斯博士！”滴答……滴答……滴答……滴答……

"Hello, Dubbles, And Winka, too. You can't see me, But I see you. Do you know The Earth's in trouble? And so are you, My little Dubbles! The rock that ends The dinos' day Is coming now, It's on its way. How sad you're stuck In such a fix. You're at the end Of all your tricks. But please don't fret, My little pups. I'll soon be there To scoop you up!

“你好，达布尔斯，还有温卡。 你看不见我，但我能看见你。 你知道地球有麻烦了吗？ 你也是，我的小宝贝！终结恐龙时代的岩石现在来了，它正在路上。 你被困在这样的困境中真是可悲。 你的把戏已经用完了。 但是请不要担心，我的小狗们。 我马上就去把你捞起来！

HA HA HA HA HA!" tick… tock… tick… tock… Winka scanned the sky. "I don't see anything yet," she said. "But Doctor Kron-Tox has telescopes. We'd better get going. Where's the Time-A-Tron?" "It's beyond a big pond of quicksand," said Judy. "Next to a Tyrannosaurus nest." "Ah!" said Winka. "I know the place, and I know a shortcut. Let's go." Winka led them downhill to a place where the cliff wasn't far from the valley below. Winka used the vine rope to lower them down, then she climbed down herself. "There's something we have to do before we go back," said Andrew. "We must leave as soon as possible," said Winka. "We're far from where the asteroid will crash, but the explosion will start huge forest fires even here. Tsunami waves could flood this place." Andrew nodded. "I know," he said, "but an owl escaped from the Time-A-Tron when we landed.

“嘀嗒……嘀嗒……嘀嗒……”温卡扫视了一下天空。 “我还没看到什么，”她说。 “但是克朗托克斯博士有望远镜。 我们最好走了。时间战神在哪里？”“它在一个大流沙池塘的后面，”朱迪说。 “在暴龙的巢穴旁边。” “啊！”温卡说。“我知道那个地方，也知道一条近路。 我们走吧。”温卡领着他们下山，来到一个悬崖离下面的山谷不远的地方。 温卡用藤绳把他们放下来，然后自己爬下来。 “在我们回去之前，有些事情我们必须要做。”安德鲁说。 “我们必须尽快离开，”温卡说。 “我们离小行星撞击的地方很远，但爆炸会在这里引发巨大的森林火灾。 海啸可能会淹没这个地方。” 安德鲁点点头。“我知道，”他说，“但是我们降落的时候，一只猫头鹰从时空战龙里逃了出来。

We're not supposed to leave anything here." Beeper pulled the DNA Detector out of his pocket. Winka cocked her head. "Professor Dubble and I invented the DNA Detector together," she said. "It's quite handy." Andrew punched in "northern pygmy owl" and pressed the Find It button. ping… ping… ping… "3,000 Feet" blinked the display. They trudged through the ferns and bushes. They crossed over Tyrannosaurus tracks. "2,000 Feet" blinked the display. The landscape started to look familiar. "1,000 Feet" blinked the display. "I see one of the Time-A-Tron's fins!" said Winka. She was tall enough to see above the ferns. "The DNA Detector says the owl is only three hundred feet away!" said Andrew. They ran to the Time-A-Tron. It was still leaning against the Tyrannosaurus nest.

我们不应该在这里留下任何东西。” 哔哔从口袋里掏出了DNA探测器。 温卡歪着头。“我和杜布尔教授一起发明了DNA探测器，”她说。 “这很方便。”安德鲁输入“北方侏儒猫头鹰”，然后按下查找按钮。 ping…ping…ping…“3000英尺”闪烁着显示屏。 他们艰难地穿过蕨类植物和灌木丛。 它们越过了暴龙的足迹。 “2000英尺”闪烁着显示屏。 景色开始变得熟悉起来。 “1000英尺”闪烁着显示屏。 “我看到了时间战神的鳍！”温卡说。 她很高，可以看到蕨类植物的上方。 “DNA探测器说猫头鹰就在三百英尺远的地方！”安德鲁说。 他们跑到时间战神那里。 它仍然靠在暴龙的巢穴上。
