3 Eggs-actly Right!

Chapter 3 EGGS-ACTLY RIGHT! The egg trembled. A crack zigzagged across its top. "It's hatching!" said Judy. crick… crack… crack… Now there was a hole in the top of the egg. From the hole poked a head as big as a puppy's. But this head was scaly. Sharp little teeth hung down from the top of its mouth. Its bright black eyes looked up at Judy and blinked. It gripped the edge of the shell with the two teeny fingers at the ends of its tiny little arms.

第三章鸡蛋——没错！鸡蛋颤抖着。 一条裂缝曲折地穿过它的顶部。 “它在孵化！”朱迪说。 啪……啪……啪……现在蛋的顶部有一个洞了。 从洞里探出一个像小狗一样大的脑袋。 但这头有鳞片。尖利的小牙齿从它的嘴上垂下来。 它明亮的黑眼睛抬头看着朱迪，眨了眨。 它用两条小胳膊末端的两个小手指紧紧抓住贝壳的边缘。

Judy slapped her hand over her mouth. "It's a…" meep… "Tyrannosaurus baby," said Thudd. "Beeper was right!" said Andrew. "This is what the DNA Detector was picking up!" meep… "Dinosaur baby called chick," said Thudd. "Just like bird. Dinosaurs are great-great- great-great-great-grandparents of birds. When you see bird, you see little dinosaur!" crick… crick… The shell cracked apart and the tiny dinosaur took a few wobbly steps toward Judy.

朱迪用手捂住嘴。 “是一只……”“小暴龙，”泰德说。 “贝珀是对的！”安德鲁说。 “这就是DNA探测器采集到的东西！”“恐龙宝宝叫小鸡，”萨德说。 “就像鸟一样。恐龙是鸟类的曾曾曾曾曾祖父母。 “当你看到鸟的时候，你就看到了小恐龙！”吱吱……吱吱……蛋壳裂开了，小恐龙摇摇晃晃地朝朱迪走来。

Judy backed away. "It's not even as high as my knee and it wants to eat me!" she said. meep… "Maybe not want to eat you," said Thudd. "Maybe chick think Oody is Tyrannosaurus mom." Judy frowned. "Are you saying I look like a Tyrannosaurus?" she asked. "Noop! Noop! Noop!" said Thudd. "When bird chick hatch out of egg, chick think first thing it see is mom. If baby duck see human first, baby duck think human is mom." As Judy stepped back, the Tyrannosaurus chick followed. Suddenly it lurched at Judy, opened its mouth, and bit the leg of her pajamas with its sharp little teeth. "NO!" said Judy loudly. She tapped the Tyrannosaurus on its snout. Unnk! it grunted as it shredded Judy's pajama leg. "He doesn't think I'm Mom," said Judy. "He thinks I'm lunch."

朱迪往后退。她说：“它甚至没有我的膝盖高，它想吃掉我！” “也许我不想吃你。” “也许小鸡认为伍迪是暴龙妈妈。” 朱迪皱起了眉头。“你是说我看起来像暴龙吗？”她问。 “等待!等待!不！” “当小鸡从蛋里孵出来的时候，小鸡首先想到的是妈妈。 如果小鸭子先看到人类，小鸭子会认为人类是妈妈。” 朱迪后退的时候，小暴龙跟在后面。 突然，它向朱迪扑过来，张开嘴，用尖利的小牙齿咬她睡衣的裤腿。 “不！”朱迪大声说。她轻拍了一下暴龙的鼻子。 Unnk !它嘟囔着，撕碎了朱迪穿睡衣的腿。 “他不认为我是妈妈，”朱迪说。 “他以为我是午餐。”

Just then, a yellow butterfly fluttered between Judy and the Tyrannosaurus. The baby dinosaur pawed the air trying to grab it. The butterfly darted off and the Tyrannosaurus followed it. Judy turned to Andrew. "You know, its mother could be back any minute to feed it." meep… "Nobody know if Tyrannosaurus mom take care of Tyrannosaurus babies," said Thudd. "Well," said Andrew, "if there's a little one here, there are big ones around somewhere. We'd better find that dino poop."

就在这时，一只黄色的蝴蝶在朱迪和暴龙之间飞舞。 小恐龙用爪子在空中抓它。 蝴蝶飞奔而去，暴龙紧随其后。 朱迪转向安德鲁。“你知道，它的妈妈随时都可能回来喂它。” “没人知道暴龙妈妈会不会照顾暴龙宝宝，”泰德说。 “嗯，”安德鲁说，“如果这里有一只小的，附近一定有大的。 我们最好找到恐龙的粪便。”

Andrew and Judy followed the Time-A-Tron's bright green beam up a hill. "Wait a minute," said Judy, stopping under a fern that towered over her head. She snapped off a bunch of fronds and handed half of them to Andrew. It wasn't long before the beam—and their noses —led them to a huge pile of brown stuff. "Eeeeuuw!" said Judy. "Yuckers!" said Andrew. meep… "Gotta do it!" said Thudd. Andrew and Judy looked at each other. Then Andrew swished his fern fronds across the poop. Judy did the same. They stuck the ends of the fronds into the waistbands of their pajamas. Judy pinched her nose with her fingers. Andrew typed "Beeper Jones" into the DNA Detector and pressed the Find It button. He moved the detector slowly in a circle. ping… ping… ping… "6,000 Feet" blinked on the display.

安德鲁和朱迪跟着“时空战神”发出的亮绿色光束上了山。 “等一下，”朱迪说，停在她头顶上的一棵蕨类植物下。 她折下一束叶子，递给安德鲁一半。 没过多久，那束光——他们的鼻子把他们带到一大堆棕色的东西前。 “呃……”朱迪说。“呸！”安德鲁说。 “我必须这么做！” 安德鲁和朱迪面面相觑。 然后安德鲁挥动着他的蕨类叶子穿过船尾楼。 朱迪也这样做了。他们把叶子的末端插进睡衣的裤腰里。 朱迪用手指捏鼻子。 安德鲁在DNA探测器中输入“寻呼机琼斯”，然后按下查找按钮。 他慢慢地转动着探测器转了一圈。 平……平……平……显示屏上闪烁着“6000英尺”的字样。

"Wowzers!" said Andrew. "Beeper's more than a mile away!" Andrew's and Judy's slippers were slippery, but they started slogging their way in the direction of the signal. Judy shook her head. "The ferns and bushes are so tall and thick we can't even tell where we're going." "I see a path," said Andrew. He pushed his way to a place where the ferns were squashed flat. "Uh-oh," said Andrew. In the middle of the flattened plants were gigantic holes—footprints! The three-toed footprints of something enormous!

“哇！”安德鲁说。“呼机在一英里以外！”安德鲁和朱迪的拖鞋很滑，但他们开始朝着信号的方向艰难地前进。 朱迪摇了摇头。“蕨类植物和灌木丛又高又密，我们甚至不知道我们要去哪里。” “我看见一条路。”安德鲁说。 他挤到一个蕨类植物被压扁的地方。 “哦哦，”安德鲁说。在被压扁的植物中间有巨大的洞——脚印！巨大的东西的三趾脚印！
