7 What a Croc!

Chapter 7 WHAT A CROC! EEEK! "Crocodile!" squeaked Thudd. "Super- crocodile! Eat dinosaurs for lunch!" Andrew had seen crocodiles at the zoo, but this one was so much bigger than those. This crocodile was longer than a dump truck! Judy didn't see the crocodile. She was digging sand out of her ears. "Everybody out!" yelled Andrew. "Eeeeeyah!" yelled Judy as she stumbled and flopped through the water. Beeper had already sloshed his way to the muddy stream bank.

第七章好大的鳄鱼！嘿!“鳄鱼！” “超级-鳄鱼!午餐吃恐龙！”安德鲁在动物园里见过鳄鱼，但这条比那些大得多。 这条鳄鱼比一辆自卸卡车还长！朱迪没有看到鳄鱼。 她正在把沙子从耳朵里挖出来。 “大家都出去！”安德鲁喊道。 “咿咿呀！”朱迪在水中踉跄着扑通一声大叫。 Beeper已经踉踉跄跄地来到了泥泞的河岸。

meep… "Crocodile bite strong, strong, strong!" said Thudd. "No animal bite hard as super- crocodile bite. Not even Tyrannosaurus!" Andrew left Thudd and the DNA Detector on a flat stone. He splashed into the water and yanked Judy up. BROOOAAARRR! A rumble like a terrible toilet flushing came from behind them. Andrew turned to see the crocodile lunge forward. It opened its mouth so wide, Uncle Al could have stood up inside it! It slammed its toothy jaws shut so fast that Andrew didn't see them close. "Yeeeeeouch!" screamed Judy. "It's got my hair!"

“鳄鱼咬得很厉害，很厉害，很厉害！” “没有任何动物能像超级鳄鱼那样咬得那么狠。 甚至连暴龙都没有！”安德鲁把萨德和DNA探测器留在一块平坦的石头上。 他扑通一声跳入水中，把朱迪拉了上来。 BROOOAAARRR !从他们身后传来一阵轰隆声，像是可怕的冲厕所声。 安德鲁转过身来，看到鳄鱼向前扑去。 它把嘴张得那么大，艾尔叔叔都能站在里面了！它把长着牙齿的双颌猛地合上，速度太快，安德鲁都没来得及看清。 “啊啊啊啊！”朱迪尖叫着。 “它长了我的头发！”

The crocodile was pulling Judy backward through the water. "Yaaaaaaaaaaaah!" she screamed. Andrew grabbed one of Judy's legs. "Beeper!" yelled Andrew. Beeper was holding Thudd up to his ear. "Hoo boy!" yelled Beeper. "Thudd says we gotta hit the croc on the nose!" He picked up a stone and threw it. It splashed down in front of Andrew. Judy reached behind her. She began to beat the crocodile on the nose with her fists. Whap! Whap! Whap! The crocodile snapped its jaws open for a second and Judy tugged her head away! Beeper threw another rock. It landed in front of the crocodile. The crocodile dove to search for it. Andrew and Judy scrambled out of the water. All three of them ran deeper into the forest. After a few minutes, they were out of breath and stopped.

鳄鱼在水里向后拉着朱迪。 “啊——啊——啊！” 安德鲁抓住朱迪的一条腿。 “呼机！”安德鲁喊道。传呼机把达德举到耳边。 “好小子！”Beeper喊道。“泰德说我们要打鳄鱼的鼻子！”他捡起一块石头扔了出去。 它溅落在安德鲁面前。 朱迪把手伸到她身后。她开始用拳头打鳄鱼的鼻子。 重击!重击!重击!鳄鱼张开了它的下巴，朱迪把她的头拽开了！Beeper又扔了一块石头。 它落在鳄鱼的前面。 鳄鱼俯冲去寻找它。 安德鲁和朱迪从水里爬了出来。 他们三个人都向森林深处跑去。 几分钟后，他们上气不接下气，停了下来。

"Here ya go," said Beeper, handing Thudd back to Andrew. meep… "Oody okey-dokey?" squeaked Thudd. "Yeah," said Judy, "but my hair feels shorter." Andrew broke off a large leaf from a tree and wrapped it around Thudd. "My pockets are wet," he said, putting Thudd in his pajama pocket. "This leaf will keep you dry." RRROHHHURROHRR! THUMMMPP… THUMMMPP… THUMMMPP… The ground shook. meep… "Tyrannosaurus come back!" squeaked Thudd. "Not again!" hollered Judy. Andrew couldn't see the dinosaur through the trees, but the thumps were getting louder. KRAAAAAACK! KRUNNNCHHH! Trees were snapping! The Tyrannosaurus was knocking them down!

“给你。”哔哔说着，把泰德还给了安德鲁。 “哎哟，好吗？” “是啊，”朱迪说，“但是我感觉头发短了。” 安德鲁从树上折下一片大叶子，把它包在泰德身上。 “我的口袋湿了，”他说着，把萨德放进了睡衣的口袋里。 “这片叶子会让你保持干燥。” RRROHHHURROHRR !砰砰……砰砰……砰砰……地面震动了。 “暴龙回来了！” “别再这样了！”朱迪喊道。 安德鲁隔着树看不见恐龙，但砰砰声越来越响。 KRAAAAAACK !KRUNNNCHHH !树在劈啪作响！暴龙把他们打倒了！

They ran deeper into the forest. Andrew spied a rocky wall ahead. He couldn't see a way around it. They were trapped! "We've got to climb that wall!" shouted Andrew. Andrew started up first. The black rock was jagged and rough on his bare feet, but he found places to step and places to grab. There were small trees growing between cracks in the rock. Andrew hung on to these, too, as he scrambled up. "Hoo boy!" said Beeper, following. "This is better than the climbing wall at the mall. They make you wear a harness." They reached a place where the rock wall was smooth and bare. Andrew couldn't see a way to get any farther up. The Tyrannosaurus had reached the rock wall. Its scaly head was close to their feet. RRROHHHURROHRR! The sound shook Andrew's bones and made his ears ache.

他们向森林深处跑去。 安德鲁发现前面有一堵石墙。 他找不到解决的办法。 他们被困住了！“我们必须爬上那堵墙！”安德鲁喊道。 安德鲁第一个站了起来。黑色的岩石对他的光脚来说参差不齐，很粗糙，但他找到了可以踩的地方和可以抓住的地方。 岩石的裂缝间长着小树。 安德鲁爬上去的时候也抓着这些东西。 “好小子！”Beeper跟着说。 “这比商场里的攀岩墙好多了。 他们让你戴上挽具。” 他们来到一个地方，那里的岩壁光滑而光秃秃的。 安德鲁想不出再往高处走的办法。 暴龙已经到达了岩壁。 它有鳞的头靠近他们的脚。 RRROHHHURROHRR !这声音震动了安德鲁的骨头，使他的耳朵疼痛。

The edge of Andrew's ledge began to crumble. He pushed his feet closer together. Judy was standing on a ledge next to Andrew. Her ledge was crumbling, too. "So what do we do now, Bug-Brain?" she asked. "We're thirty seconds away from turning into a Tyranno-snack." "Just hang on," said Andrew. "Maybe it will go away when it figures out it can't get us." The Tyrannosaurus's tiny arms were ripping bushes out of the cliff. The dinosaur was trying to climb up! Pieces of stone cracked away from the cliff and rained down to the ground below. "Or maybe it will wait till there's an avalanche and we fall into its mouth," said Judy. Suddenly something thick and green dropped down in front of Andrew. It was a rope made of vines!

安德鲁的岩架边缘开始崩塌。 他把两脚挤得更紧了。 朱迪站在安德鲁旁边的窗台上。 她的壁架也摇摇欲坠。 “那我们现在怎么办，虫脑？”她问。 “再过三十秒，我们就会变成暴虐快餐了。” “等一下，”安德鲁说。 “也许当它发现它抓不到我们的时候，它就会消失。” 暴龙的小胳膊正在从悬崖上扯下灌木丛。 恐龙正试图爬上去！岩石从悬崖上裂开，雨点般落在下面的地面上。 “或者它会等到雪崩，我们掉进它的嘴里，”朱迪说。 突然，一个又厚又绿的东西落在安德鲁面前。 那是一根藤蔓编成的绳子！
