2 Looking for Trouble

Chapter 2 LOOKING FOR TROUBLE Andrew and Judy peered into the bottom compartment. The oval door to the outside was open. "Beeper!" yelled Andrew. "Come back, you little bozo!" yelled Judy. There was no answer. They looked out through the clear dome of the Time-A-Tron. Andrew spied a spot of orange moving through the tall ferns. It was Beeper's T-shirt. "I see the little creep!" said Judy. "Now there are two people we have to look for," said Andrew. "We've got to go."

第二章找麻烦安德鲁和朱迪往车厢最下面的隔间里偷看。 通向外面的椭圆形门开着。 “呼机！”安德鲁喊道。“回来，你这个小笨蛋！”朱迪喊道。 没有人回答。他们透过“时空战神”的透明穹顶向外望去。 安德鲁发现一个橙色的斑点在高大的蕨类植物中移动。 那是Beeper的t恤。“我看到这个小讨厌鬼了！”朱迪说。 “现在我们得找两个人，”安德鲁说。 “我们得走了。”

bong… "Children!" said the Time-A-Tron. "In this forest live the fiercest meat-eaters on Earth. You have nothing to protect you. Your colorful pajamas are signs that say 'Here I am! Eat me!'" "It's not our fault that we're wearing our stupid pajamas," said Judy. "We were getting ready for bed when Doctor Kron-Tox dragged off Uncle Al." Andrew looked out through the Time-A-Tron's dome. "There are lots of big plants out there," he said. "We'll creep around under the tall ferns. If there are any Tyrannosauruses, they won't see us." meep… "Tyrannosaurus got big sense of smell," said Thudd. "Use smell to hunt." "Mmmmmm…," hummed the Time-A-Tron. "There may be a way for you to be safe out there." "What is it?" asked Andrew. bong… "First," said the Time-A-Tron, "you must promise to do exactly as I say." Judy folded her arms across her chest. "I don't promise anything before I know what it is," she

“孩子们！” “在这片森林里生活着地球上最凶猛的食肉动物。 你没有任何东西可以保护你。 你五颜六色的睡衣是在告诉你：“我在这里！”吃我!“我们穿着愚蠢的睡衣并不是我们的错，”朱迪说。 “我们正准备睡觉的时候，克朗托克斯医生把艾尔叔叔拖走了。” 安德鲁透过时间战神的穹顶向外望去。 “那里有很多大型工厂，”他说。 “我们会在高大的蕨类植物下爬过去。 如果有暴龙，它们不会看到我们的。” “暴龙的嗅觉很灵敏。” “用嗅觉打猎。”“嗯……”时间战神哼哼着。 “也许有一种方法可以让你安全。” “什么事？”安得烈问。 “首先，”时间战神说，“你必须保证完全按照我说的去做。” 朱迪双臂交叉在胸前。 “在我知道是什么之前，我是不会答应任何事情的，”她说

said. bong… "You are wise, Miss Judy," said the Time-A-Tron. "But I must have your promise." "It's okay" said Andrew to Judy. "The Time-A- Tron wouldn't tell us to do anything stupid." "Oh, all right," said Judy. bong… "This will not be pleasant," said the Time-A-Tron. "But it could keep you alive. Listen closely. "As we were rolling along the ground, we ran over a pile of Alamosaurus… um… dung." "You mean poop?" asked Andrew. bong… "Yes," said the Time-A-Tron. "I must insist that you cover yourselves with Alamosaurus poop before you go into the forest." "Whaaaat?" yelled Judy. "Woofers!" said Andrew. bong… "Most animals will stay away from, er, poop. It will be like a smelly suit of armor." "No way!" said Judy.

说。“你很聪明，朱迪小姐，”时间战神说。 “但我必须得到你的答应。” “没关系，”安德鲁对朱迪说。 “时空战神不会让我们做傻事的。” “哦，好吧，”朱迪说。 “这可不妙。”时间战神说。 “但它可以让你活下去。 请仔细聆听。“我们在地上滚的时候，碾过了一堆阿拉莫龙的……嗯……粪便。” “你是说大便？”安德鲁问。 “是的，”时间战神说。 “我必须坚持让你们在进入森林之前用阿拉莫龙的粪便把自己盖满。” “什么？”朱迪喊道。“低音炮！”安德鲁说。 大多数动物都会远离，呃，便便。 它就像一套发臭的盔甲。” “不可能！”朱迪说。

Andrew looked at Judy. "You promised," he said. "Maybe we can, uh, hold our noses." Judy thought for a second. "How about this?" she said. "We can disguise ourselves as ferns. We'll stick giant fern fronds into the waistbands of our pajamas." bong… "Not good enough, Miss Judy. The Tyrannosaurus and other dinosaurs will still sniff you out." "Well," she said, "how about if we dip the ferns in the dino poop." bong… "Good thinking, Miss Judy!" said the Time-A-Tron. "You are very brave. Be careful." "We will," said Andrew. "Now where's that dino poop?" bong… "It is back there," said the Time-A- Tron. A silver tube poked up from the control panel. Out of the silver tube shot a thin ray of green light. It zoomed through the Time-A-Tron's dome and into the forest.

安德鲁看着朱迪。“你答应过的，”他说。 “也许我们可以，捏住鼻子” 朱迪想了一会儿。 “这个怎么样？”她说。 “我们可以把自己伪装成蕨类植物。 我们要把巨大的蕨类植物叶子粘在睡衣的腰带上。” “不够好，朱迪小姐。 暴龙和其他恐龙仍然会嗅出你的气味。” “好吧，”她说，“我们把蕨类植物浸在恐龙的便便里怎么样？” “好主意，朱迪小姐！” “你很勇敢。小心。” “我们会的。”安德鲁说。“恐龙的便便在哪儿？”轰……“在后面，”时间战神说。 一根银管从控制面板上伸出来。 从银色的灯管里射出一道薄薄的绿光。 它嗖的一声穿过了时空战神的穹顶，进入了森林。

"We'll find it," said Andrew. He slipped through the door in the floor. bong… "Just follow your noses," said the Time-A-Tron. Judy opened a small door under the control panel. A pair of beady black eyes stared up at her. A pointy brown nose twitched. It was the shrew that had gotten into the Time-A-Tron when it was still in Uncle Al's laboratory. "You stay right here till we get back," said Judy. She closed the little door, then followed Andrew into the lower compartment. Andrew was poking around. "Um, I don't see the owl," he said. A little owl had followed the shrew into the Time-A-Tron before they left Montana. "I'll bet it got out when Beeper left," said Judy. bong… "Very bad news, Master Andrew," said the Time-A-Tron. "There are no owls on Earth sixty-five million years ago. At this time, the ancestors of humans are creeping around in the forests. Your little owl may eat them! Because of

“我们会找到的。”安德鲁说。 他从地板上的门溜了出去。 “跟着你的鼻子走。”时间战神说。 朱迪打开了控制面板下面的一扇小门。 一双闪亮的黑眼睛抬头盯着她。 一只棕色的尖鼻子抽动了一下。 是那只鼩鼱在艾尔叔叔的实验室里钻进了时空战神。 “你就呆在这儿，等我们回来。”朱迪说。 她关上小门，跟着安德鲁进了下层车厢。 安德鲁在四处打听。“嗯，我没看见猫头鹰，”他说。 在他们离开蒙大拿之前，一只小猫头鹰跟着鼩鼱进了时空争霸。 “我敢打赌它是在哔哔离开的时候出来的，”朱迪说。 “非常坏的消息，安德鲁少爷。”时间战神说。 “6500万年前地球上没有猫头鹰。 此时，人类的祖先正在森林里爬行。 你的小猫头鹰会把它们吃掉的！因为

this tiny owl, it is possible that you may not exist!" "Uh-oh," said Andrew. "That's pretty weird. We'd better find that owl." bong… "Good luck, little Dubbles," said the Time-A-Tron. "Much depends on you." Andrew and Judy stepped through the oval door to the outside. bong… The door closed behind them. The sun was baking hot and the air was sticky. The ground was damp and swampy. Andrew sniffed a spicy smell.

这只小小的猫头鹰，有可能你根本不存在！”“哦哦，”安德鲁说。 “这很奇怪。我们最好找到那只猫头鹰。” “祝你好运，小杜布尔斯。” “很多事情取决于你。”安德鲁和朱迪穿过椭圆形的门走到外面。 门在他们身后关上了。 太阳炙热，空气又黏糊糊的。 地面又湿又多沼泽。 安德鲁闻到一股辛辣的气味。
