8 It’s a Bird! It’s a Plane! It’s a Flying Lizard!

Chapter 8 IT'S A BIRD! IT'S A PLANE! IT'S A FLYING LIZARD! "It's safe," came a voice from above. "All three of you can climb up." Andrew threw the end of the rope to Judy and she passed it to Beeper. RRROHHHURROHRR! Andrew climbed up quickly. When he got close to the top of the cliff, he saw a tall woman in jeans and a T-shirt holding the rope. Long braids that hung all the way to her waist were tied back with a scarf. "Well, hello, Andrew and Thudd!" she said, smiling. "And I see Judy right behind you."

第八章是一只鸟！这是一架飞机！它是一只会飞的蜥蜴！“这里很安全。”一个声音从上面传来。 “你们三个都可以爬上去。” 安德鲁把绳子的一端扔给朱迪，朱迪把绳子传给了Beeper。 RRROHHHURROHRR !安德鲁迅速爬了上去。 当他接近悬崖顶端时，他看到一个穿着牛仔裤和t恤的高个子女人拿着绳子。 她的长辫子一直垂到腰上，用围巾绑在后面。 “哦，你们好，安德鲁和泰德！”她微笑着说。 “我看到朱迪就在你后面。”

"Hiya!" squeaked Thudd. "Hi there!" said Andrew, hauling himself onto flat ground. "You must be Professor Wilde! But how do you know me and Judy?" Winka laughed. "Your uncle Al talks about you all the time." Judy and Beeper dragged themselves over the edge of the cliff. Beeper went up to Winka and stuck out his hand. "I'm Beeper Jones," he said. "Doctor Kron- Tox is my uncle. I know he kidnapped you. He

“嗨！”泰德尖声说。“你好！”安德鲁说着，拖着身子来到平地上。 “你一定是王尔德教授！”但你是怎么认识我和朱迪的？”Winka笑了。 “你叔叔艾尔总是提起你。” 朱迪和毕珀拖着身子爬下悬崖。 Beeper走到Winka面前，伸出他的手。 “我是Beeper Jones，”他说。 “克朗托克斯医生是我的舅舅。 我知道他绑架了你。他

even parked me three hundred million years ago to collect bugs. "My uncle is kinda weird. But I sure liked collecting the bugs, especially the dog-sized scorpion and the six-foot-long centipede." Winka smiled and shook his hand. "Glad to meet you, Beeper. And I wish I had seen that centipede! "But how did all of you end up here, sixty-five million years from your own time?" "We came in the Time-A-Tron," said Judy. "We've got to find Uncle Al in some stupid ice age, and then we can all go back to our own time." RRROHHHURROHRR! "Oh, shut up!" said Judy, peering over the cliff at the Tyrannosaurus below. Winka pushed her hands into the pockets of her jeans. "I don't know if you know this," said Winka. "But a terrible time is coming soon." "Not another one!" said Judy, rolling her eyes. "We could write a big fat book about terrible times. We've gotten flushed down a toilet,

甚至在三亿年前把我停在这里收集虫子。 “我叔叔有点怪。但我确实喜欢收集虫子，尤其是狗大小的蝎子和六英尺长的蜈蚣。” 温卡微笑着和他握了握手。 “很高兴见到你，Beeper。 我真希望我能看到那条蜈蚣！“但你们是怎么到这里来的，在离你们自己的时代6500万年之后？”“我们是坐时空战龙来的，”朱迪说。 “我们必须在某个愚蠢的冰河时代找到阿尔叔叔，然后我们才能回到我们自己的时代。” RRROHHHURROHRR !“哦，闭嘴！”朱迪说，凝视着悬崖下面的暴龙。 温卡把手伸进牛仔裤的口袋里。 “我不知道你知不知道，”温卡说。 “但可怕的时刻即将到来。” “别再来了！”朱迪翻着白眼说。 “我们可以写一本关于糟糕时期的大部头书。 我们被冲进了厕所

swallowed by a whale, and trapped at the center of the Earth." "This will be a disaster for the whole Earth," said Winka. "Very soon, an asteroid as big as a city will crash into the place where Mexico will be." "That's nothing," said Andrew. "We were here when a Mars-sized asteroid crashed into the Earth and made the moon!" Winka's eyebrows went up. "And you're alive to tell about it!" she said. "The asteroid that's coming won't rip the Earth apart, but it will make a terrible explosion. It will set huge fires, start mile-high tsunami waves, and send trillions of tons of dust and water into the air. "The Earth will be covered by a dark cloud of dust for months. Plants will die. The big plant- eaters will die, and the big meat-eaters that eat the big plant-eaters will die. "When it's over, animals that weigh more than fifty pounds will be gone."

被鲸鱼吞下，被困在地球的中心。” “这将是整个地球的灾难，”温卡说。 “很快，一颗像城市一样大的小行星就会撞到墨西哥所在的地方。” “那没什么，”安德鲁说。 “当一颗火星大小的小行星撞击地球并形成月球时，我们就在这里！”温卡的眉毛往上一扬。 “你还活着，能讲出来！”她说。 “即将到来的小行星不会把地球撕裂，但会造成可怕的爆炸。 它将引发大火，引发数英里高的海啸，并将数万亿吨的灰尘和水送入空气。 “地球将被黑暗的尘埃云覆盖数月。 植物会死亡。大型食草动物会死，而那些吃大型食草动物的大型食肉动物也会死。 “当它结束时，体重超过50磅的动物就会消失。”

"I weigh more than fifty pounds," said Judy. She looked around at the others. "We all do. We'd better get out of here fast." "I'll go get my notebook," said Winka. "I've been drawing the animals and writing about them." Winka turned to a tree behind her and started climbing. High above the ground, between the branches, she had woven a large net from vines. Suddenly the sky darkened. Andrew looked up. A huge creature was flying overhead. meep… "Quetzalcoatlus!" said Thudd, pointing to his face screen. "Yikes!" said Andrew. "That bird is as big as a plane!" meep… "Not bird," said Thudd. "No birds on Earth yet. Flying animal is flying lizard." "Quetzalcoatlus!" shouted Beeper. "That's my most favorite animal ever!"

“我体重超过50磅，”朱迪说。 她看了看周围的人。 “我们都是。我们最好赶快离开这里。” “我去拿我的笔记本，”温卡说。 “我一直在画动物，写关于它们的东西。” 温卡转向身后的一棵树，开始往上爬。 在离地很高的树枝间，她用藤蔓编织了一张大网。 突然，天空变暗了。 安德鲁抬起头来。一个巨大的生物从头顶飞过。 “风神翼龙！”泰德指着他的屏幕说。 “哎呀！”安德鲁说。“那只鸟和飞机一样大！” “地球上还没有鸟呢。会飞的动物是会飞的蜥蜴。” “风神翼龙！” “那是我最喜欢的动物！”

"It's the biggest creature ever to fly," said Winka, climbing down the tree. "It has a nest on the side of the cliff." "I gotta see it!" yelled Beeper, taking off after the Quetzalcoatlus. "I gotta take a picture!" "Beeper!" yelled Winka. "Come back here! We have to leave!" Andrew and Judy ran through the trees after Beeper. Beyond the tall trees was a field. By the time Andrew and Judy reached the edge of the field, Beeper had disappeared among the tall ferns and bushes.

“它是有史以来最大的会飞的生物，”温卡说着，从树上爬下来。 “它在悬崖边上有一个巢。” “我一定要去看看！”哔哔大叫着，一边追赶风神翼龙。 “我要拍张照片！”“呼机！”温卡喊道。 “回来！”我们必须离开！”安德鲁和朱迪跑过树林去追哔哔。 在高大的树木后面是一片田野。 安德鲁和朱迪走到田边时，“寻呼机”已经消失在高高的蕨类植物和灌木丛中了。
