5 THUMMMPP THUMMMPP THUMMMPP

Chapter 5 THUMMMPP... THUMMMPP... THUMMMPP... "Andrew!" yelled Judy. "Get out of there!" "I can't!" said Andrew. meep… "Quicksand!" said Thudd. Andrew kicked his feet to keep from sinking, but the harder he kicked, the quicker he sank. Andrew tossed the DNA Detector to Judy. Then he pulled Thudd out of his pocket and put him on top of his head to keep him dry. Thudd was never supposed to get wet. meep… "Drewd can float on top of quicksand," said Thudd. "Quicksand is plain sand with lotsa water underneath. Drewd gotta stop kicking.

第五章……THUMMMPP…… THUMMMPP……“安德鲁！”朱迪喊道。 “快出来！”“我不能！”安德鲁说。 “流沙！” 安德鲁踢着脚以免下沉，但他踢得越用力，下沉得越快。 安德鲁把DNA探测器扔给了朱迪。 然后，他从口袋里掏出砰德，把它放在头顶上，免得它被淋湿。 泰德不应该被弄湿的。 “德鲁能浮在流沙上。” 流沙就是下面有很多水的普通沙子。 德鲁德不能再踢了。

Kicking make Drewd get sucked down fast, fast, fast! Drewd gotta move slow, slow, slow. Then float." Andrew stopped kicking. As soon as he did, he stopped sinking. He put his head back. Thudd crept onto his forehead. Andrew slowly pulled his legs up. "YES!" said Andrew. He floated on his back and pushed the sand with his hands. Soon he arrived at the edge of the small pool of quicksand. Judy leaned toward Andrew. "Grab my hand, Bug-Brain," she said. Andrew reached out, but he wasn't close enough. THUMMMPP… THUMMMPP… THUMMMPP… The ground was shaking. meep… "Is a—" "Tyrannosaurus rex!" yelled a familiar voice. It was Beeper! He pushed his way through a clump of ferns toward Judy.

踢腿让德鲁被吸下去，快，快，快！德鲁得慢点，慢点，慢点。 然后浮动。”安德鲁停止了踢腿。 他一沉下去，就停止了下沉。 他把头往后仰。砰的一声爬上了他的额头。 安德鲁慢慢地把腿抬起来。 “是的！”安德鲁说。他仰面漂浮，用手推着沙子。 不久，他来到了小流沙池的边缘。 朱迪靠向安德鲁。 “抓住我的手，虫脑，”她说。 安德鲁伸出手，但离得不够近。 砰砰……砰砰……砰砰……地面在震动。 “是一头——”“霸王龙！”一个熟悉的声音喊道。 是哔哔！他穿过一丛蕨类植物朝朱迪挤去。

"Pee-yoooo!" he said. "Something smells like dinosaur poop. Hey! It's you!" "Cheese Louise!" yelled Judy. "Help me drag Bug-Brain out of the quicksand before we all get eaten!" THUMMMPP… THUMMMPP… THUMMMPP… The footsteps were faster now. The quicksand jiggled with every step. RRROHHHURROHRR! High above the ferns appeared a head as big as a refrigerator. Dark, ragged stuff was stuck between its dagger teeth. The dinosaur's tiny arms waved excitedly. With each step, it crossed the distance of a room. Beeper belly-flopped onto the quicksand. Judy was as frozen as a snowman. "Oody!" shouted Thudd. "Jump in!" RRROHHHURROHRR! The sound hurt Andrew's ears. "Judy!" he yelled. "Get in here!"

“嘘——”他说。“有东西闻起来像恐龙屎。 嘿!这是你!”“奶酪露易丝！”朱迪喊道。 “在我们被吃掉之前，帮我把虫脑从流沙中拖出来！”咚咚……咚咚……咚咚……脚步声快了。 每走一步流沙都在晃动。 RRROHHHURROHRR !蕨类植物的上方出现了一个像冰箱一样大的脑袋。 黑色的、粗糙的东西夹在它锋利的牙齿之间。 恐龙的小手臂兴奋地挥舞着。 每走一步，它就跨过一个房间的距离。 呼机扑通一声落在流沙上。 朱迪冻得像个雪人。 “哇！”“跳!”RRROHHHURROHRR !声音刺痛了安德鲁的耳朵。 “朱迪！”他喊道。“进来！”

Judy shivered, dropped the DNA Detector, and plopped into the squishy stuff. The Tyrannosaurus was at the edge of the quicksand pond. It stopped and looked down. Andrew heard Judy's teeth chattering. He felt a scream creeping up his throat, but he knew that screaming would be a bad idea. The huge head lurched toward the sand.

朱迪打了个寒颤，扔下DNA探测器，扑通一声掉进了那黏糊糊的东西里。 暴龙站在流沙池塘的边上。 它停了下来，向下看了看。 安德鲁听到朱迪的牙齿在打战。 他感到一声尖叫涌上喉咙，但他知道尖叫不是个好主意。 巨大的脑袋歪向沙滩。

"Hold your breath and duck your head under the quicksand," he whispered to the others. Andrew took a gulp of air and dunked his head into the cool sand. He tried not to sink too low. He couldn't let himself get sucked into the sand, and he couldn't let Thudd get wet. RRRRROOOOHHRRR! The Tyrannosaurus's roar was a rumble in Andrew's mud-filled ears. Suddenly he felt something scratch his scalp. Could it be… a Tyrannosaurus claw? In a second, it was gone. And something else was gone —Thudd!

“屏住呼吸，把头埋在流沙里。”他低声对其他人说。 安德鲁吸了一口空气，把头伸进凉爽的沙子里。 他尽量不要陷得太低。 他不能让自己被吸进沙子里，也不能让泰德被弄湿。 RRRRROOOOHHRRR !暴龙的吼声在安德鲁满是泥的耳朵里像隆隆的声音。 突然，他感到有什么东西在抓他的头皮。 会不会是暴龙的爪子？ 刹那间，它消失了。还有别的东西不见了——砰！
