10 Strange Strangers

Chapter 10 STRANGE STRANGERS "No! No!" shouted Andrew. "Don't shout," said Judy softly. "You don't want them to think you're angry. We want to show them we're friendly. Maybe if we gave them a gift or something…" "What do we have that's not a mammoth or a glyptodont or a giant guinea pig?" asked Andrew. "What about the feather?" asked Judy. "It's a pretty amazing feather." "I wanna keep it," said Beeper. "Would you rather have the feather or your skin?" asked Judy. Beeper shrugged.

第十章陌生的陌生人“不！不！”安德鲁喊道。 “别喊，”朱迪轻声说。 “你不想让他们认为你生气了。 我们想让他们知道我们很友好。 也许我们应该送他们一份礼物或别的什么……”“除了猛犸象、雕齿兽或巨型天竺鼠，我们还有什么？”安德鲁问。 “那羽毛呢？”朱迪问。 “这是一根非常神奇的羽毛。” “我想留着它，”Beeper说。 “你想要羽毛还是你的皮肤？”朱迪问。 蜂鸣器耸耸肩。

Andrew held out the enormous feather and walked up to the hunter who'd spoken to him. "I have something for you, sir," he said. The man pushed the point of his spear into the ground. Then he took the feather, put his hand on Andrew's shoulder, and nodded. One of the boys came over and touched the feather. "Hyas chak-chak tupso," he said. The other boy, just a little taller than Andrew, pointed to Thudd. "Thudd," said Andrew. He held Thudd up. "Thudd!" said the boy, smiling. meep… "Hiya!" said Thudd. The boy touched Thudd's face screen. Thudd wiggled his antennas. The boy laughed. He held out his spear to Andrew. "Thank you," said Andrew. He took the spear. It had a sharp point made of carved stone. Andrew smiled and nodded. The boy smiled and nodded, too.

安德鲁拿出那根巨大的羽毛，走向刚才跟他说话的猎人。 “我有东西要给你，先生，”他说。 那人把矛尖插进地里。 然后他拿起羽毛，把手放在安德鲁的肩膀上，点了点头。 其中一个男孩过来摸了摸羽毛。 “Hyas chak-chak tupso，”他说。 另一个只比安德鲁高一点的男孩指着萨德。 “砰。”安德鲁说。他举起达达。 “砰！”男孩笑着说。 “嗨！” 男孩摸了摸泰德的屏幕。 砰砰扭动着他的天线。 男孩笑了。他向安德鲁伸出长矛。 “谢谢你。”安德鲁说。他拿起长矛。 它有一个用石雕成的尖头。 安德鲁微笑着点了点头。男孩也笑了点头。

The tallest hunter waved his hand toward the distance. "He's telling us to go," said Andrew. "These guys were heading toward the ice dam," said Judy. "It could break soon. We have to warn them." "How?" asked Andrew. Judy stepped forward, pointed toward the dam, and shook her head. They stared at Judy and shook their heads, too. Beeper pointed in the direction of the dam and yelled, "BOOM!" The hunters laughed. "Wait a minute," said Judy. She reached into a pajama pocket and pulled out the reddish stick she had taken from the cave. She brushed snow off a flat rock and started to draw. The hunters gathered around her. She drew the wall with the zigzag crack that she had seen in the cave painting. She drew big waves around it.

最高的猎人朝远处挥了挥手。 “他叫我们走，”安德鲁说。 “这些家伙正朝着冰坝前进，”朱迪说。 “它可能很快就会破裂。我们必须警告他们。” “怎么做？”安德鲁问。朱迪走上前去，指着大坝，摇了摇头。 他们盯着朱迪，也摇了摇头。 传呼机指着大坝的方向喊道：“轰！”猎人们笑了。 “等一下，”朱迪说。 她把手伸进睡衣口袋，拿出了从山洞里拿出来的那根红色的棍子。 她拂去一块平坦岩石上的雪，开始画画。 猎人们聚集在她周围。 她在墙上画出了她在洞穴壁画中看到的锯齿状裂缝。 她在它周围画了大浪。

The hunters' eyes lit up. They nodded. They recognized the drawing! One of the hunters touched the colored stick in Judy's hand. She gave it to him. He broke it in half and gave one half to Judy. He went up to Max and waved to Judy. He wanted her to come, too. Nyeeek! Nyeeek! Nyeeek! The glyptodont was frantic about having people so close. The hunter began to rub the red color over one of Max's tusks. He motioned Judy to color the other tusk. Soon they were done. The hunter pointed to his spear, then he pointed to Max and shook his head. "He's telling us that they've marked Max so they'll never hunt him!" said Andrew. Judy, Andrew, and Beeper smiled and nodded. The hunters did the same. Then they turned and hurried off in the direction they had come from.

猎人们的眼睛亮了起来。他们点了点头。 他们认出了这幅画！其中一个猎人摸了摸朱迪手里的彩色棍子。 她把它给了他。他把它掰成两半，一半给了朱迪。 他走到麦克斯面前，向朱迪挥了挥手。 他想让她也来。 Nyeeek !Nyeeek !Nyeeek !雕齿兽对人类如此接近感到疯狂。 猎人开始在马克斯的一根象牙上涂上红色。 他示意朱迪给另一根象牙上色。 很快他们就做完了。猎人指了指他的矛，然后又指了指马克斯，摇了摇头。 “他告诉我们，他们给马克斯做了记号，这样他们就再也找不到他了！”安德鲁说。 朱蒂、安德鲁和贝珀笑着点了点头。 猎人们也这样做了。然后他们转过身，朝他们来的方向匆匆走去。

Max lurched forward with a wriggling glyptodont in his tusks. The capys decided to munch some grass. Judy broke a twig off a bush and poked their behinds to hurry them along. It wasn't long before they glimpsed the craggy ice of the glacier. The Tick-Tox Box was where it had been when they left. But now it was bigger than a football field! Next to it was the Time-A-Tron. It was floating a few feet off the ground and its Fast-Fins were spinning. They were getting close to the glacier when suddenly they heard screaming. It was coming from inside the glacier, and it was getting louder. "What's that?" asked Judy. Suddenly Doctor Kron-Tox rushed out of an icy crack in the glacier wall. "It's my uncle!" said Beeper. Right behind him was a very tall creature that looked kind of like a dinosaur.

马克斯蹒跚地向前走去，獠牙里插着一只扭动的雕齿兽。 羊羊们决定吃点草。 朱迪从灌木上折下一根小树枝，戳了戳他们的后背，催他们快点走。 没过多久，他们就瞥见了冰川上嶙峋的冰。 抽毒盒还在他们离开时的地方。 但现在它比足球场还大！旁边是时间战神。 它漂浮在离地面几英尺的地方，它的快速鳍在旋转。 当他们接近冰川时，突然听到了尖叫声。 它来自冰川内部，而且声音越来越大。 “那是什么？”朱迪问。 突然，克朗托克斯博士从冰川墙的冰缝里冲了出来。 “是我叔叔！” 在他身后是一个很高的生物，看起来有点像恐龙。

meep… "Titanis bird!" said Thudd. "Called terror bird! Ten feet tall! Fierce hunter bird! Beak bite through bone!" Doctor Kron-Tox was running so fast that his black cape fluttered like wings. But the Titanis bird was right behind him. And catching up with them was furry Uncle Al! Doctor Kron-Tox was racing toward the Tick- Tox Box. "We've got to help Uncle Al," said Andrew. "We can't let Doctor Kron-Tox get away."

“泰坦鸟！” “叫恐鸟！”十英尺高！凶猛的猎鸟！用嘴咬穿骨头！”克朗托克斯医生跑得飞快，他的黑色斗篷像翅膀一样拍打着。 但是泰坦鸟就在他后面。 赶上他们的是毛茸茸的艾尔叔叔！克伦-托克斯医生正飞快地奔向蜱虫箱。 “我们得去帮助阿尔叔叔。”安德鲁说。 “我们不能让克朗托克斯博士跑了。”
