2 Uh-oh

Chapter 2 UH-OM… The numbers on the control panel were changing! 64 MILLION YEARS AGO 63 MILLION YEARS AGO 62 MILLION YEARS AGO bong… "Congratulations!" said the Time-A- Tron. "Your excellent teamwork has gotten us moving again!" "Finally!" said Judy, leaning back in her seat. Andrew looked out the window. The blazing fire had disappeared. There was nothing but darkness and swirling green light. "I'm glad we got out of there," said Andrew. "But I feel awful that the dinosaurs are all going to

第二章控制面板上的数字在变！6400万年前6300万年前6200万年前轰……“恭喜你！” “你们出色的团队合作让我们又开始行动了！”“终于！”朱迪靠在座位上说。 安德鲁望着窗外。 熊熊的火焰消失了。 除了黑暗和旋转的绿光，什么也没有。 “我很高兴我们从那里出来了，”安德鲁说。 “但我觉得很糟糕，因为恐龙都要灭绝了

die." Winka sighed. "Some of them survived the fires and the heat," she said. "Animals that were in the water, or underground, or even under a pile of leaves may have lived. But then they had another big problem." bong… "The asteroid blasted trillions of tons of dirt and water into the sky," said the Time-A-Tron. meep… "Stuff go halfway to moon!" said Thudd. Winka nodded. "Most of it came down again quickly. The rocks fell back to Earth as billions of meteors. But the dust circled the Earth for months." meep… "Sky dark, dark, dark for long time," said Thudd. "Lotsa plants die." bong… "Then the giant plant-eating dinosaurs didn't have enough to eat," said the Time-A-Tron. "And the meat-eating dinosaurs didn't have enough plant-eating dinosaurs to eat." "Awwwwww," sighed Beeper.

死。”Winka叹了口气。“他们中的一些人在大火和高温中幸存了下来，”她说。 “在水中、地下，甚至在一堆树叶下的动物都可能生活过。 但后来他们又遇到了另一个大问题。” “这颗小行星向天空喷射了数万亿吨的泥土和水，”时间战神说。 “东西会飞到月球的一半！” Winka点点头。“其中大部分很快又降了下来。 这些岩石以数十亿颗流星的形式落回地球。 但尘埃在地球上盘旋了好几个月。” “天很黑，很长一段时间都很黑。” “那么巨大的植食恐龙就没有足够的食物吃了，”时间战神说。 “食肉恐龙没有足够的食草恐龙吃。” “哇哦，”哔哔叹道。

bong… "But consider this," said the Time-A- Tron. "If huge dinosaurs did not go extinct, mammals might have stayed small, like mice and opossums." "Or like our friend the shrew, huh?" said Judy. bong… "Yes," said the Time-A-Tron. "Mammals might never have had the chance to become large, smart creatures—like you." "Like three of us, anyway," said Beeper, pulling Judy's hair. Winka swatted Beeper's hand away from Judy's head. Then she said, "All the dust blocking the sun made the Earth as cold as an ice age for many months." meep… "Earth have lotsa ice ages," said Thudd. Winka nodded. "It helped that mammals were warm-blooded," she said. "Warm-blooded mammals could survive the cold better than cold- blooded reptiles." "Ice age!" said Judy. "Andrew, did you set the DNA Detector to find Uncle Al in the Ice Age?"

“但是想想这个，”时间战神说。 “如果大型恐龙没有灭绝，哺乳动物可能会保持体型较小，比如老鼠和负鼠。” “或者像我们的朋友鼩鼱一样，嗯？”朱迪说。 “是的，”时间战神说。 “哺乳动物可能永远不会有机会变成像你这样又大又聪明的动物。” “至少我们三个人，”Beeper说着，拉着Judy的头发。 温卡把哔哔的手从朱迪的头上甩开。 然后她说：“所有的灰尘阻挡了太阳，使地球像冰河时代一样寒冷了好几个月。” “地球上有很多次冰河时代，”泰德说。 Winka点点头。“哺乳动物是温血动物，这对它们有帮助，”她说。 温血哺乳动物比冷血爬行动物更能在寒冷中生存。 “冰河时代！”朱迪说。“安德鲁，是你让DNA探测器在冰河时代找到阿尔叔叔的吗？”

Andrew and Judy's uncle Al was a super-smart scientist. He had invented the Time-A-Tron and Thudd, too. Beeper's uncle, Doctor Kron-Tox, had kidnapped Uncle Al and hidden him in Ice Age Montana. He was stranded somewhere between 20,000 and 11,000 years ago. 500,000 YEARS AGO blinked on the Time-A- Tron's display. "Uh-oh," said Andrew. "I almost forgot." From his pajama pocket, Andrew pulled the DNA Detector. It looked like a black remote control. He pressed the keys to spell "Alfred Dubble." 100,000 YEARS AGO 50,000 YEARS AGO 20,000 YEARS AGO It got very quiet inside the Time-A-Tron as they waited for a signal from the DNA Detector. 15,000 YEARS AGO 14,000 YEARS AGO

安德鲁和朱迪的叔叔阿尔是一位超级聪明的科学家。 他还发明了“时间战神”和“砰”。 Beeper的叔叔，克朗托克斯博士，绑架了Al叔叔并把他藏在冰河时代的蒙大拿。 他被困在2万到1.1万年前的某个地方。 50万年前，“时空争霸”的显示屏上闪烁。 “哦哦，”安德鲁说。“我差点忘了。” 安德鲁从睡衣口袋里掏出了DNA检测仪。 它看起来像一个黑色的遥控器。 他按下键盘，拼出“阿尔弗雷德·杜布尔”。 10万年前5万年前2万年前当他们等待DNA探测器的信号时，时空tron内部非常安静。 一万五千年前，一万四千年前

ping… ping… ping… The DNA Detector had detected Uncle Al! Judy let go of the Fast-Forward button, and the web of green light around the Time-A-Tron vanished. The time-travel machine was sitting on a rocky plain. Low plants and scruffy bushes grew between the stones. Here and there were patches of snow. "Wowzers!" said Andrew. "Montana sure is different from when the dinosaurs lived here." "Let's get out and look for Uncle Al," said Judy. They unlatched their seat belts. Andrew pulled up the door in the floor and climbed down the rope ladder into the lower compartment. The others followed. bong… The Time-A-Tron's oval door opened. A chilly breeze blew in. "Woofers!" said Andrew with a shiver. "It's cold out there!"

平……平……平……DNA探测器发现了阿尔叔叔！朱迪松开了快进键，围绕着“时空创”的绿光网消失了。 时间旅行机器停在一块岩石平原上。 石头之间长着低矮的植物和肮脏的灌木。 到处都是积雪。 “哇！”安德鲁说。“蒙大拿州肯定和恐龙生活在这里的时候不一样了。” “我们出去找阿尔叔叔吧，”朱迪说。 他们解开了安全带。 安德鲁拉开地板上的门，顺着绳梯爬下下层隔间。 其他人跟在后面。时间战神的椭圆形门开了。 一阵凉风吹了进来。“低音炮！”安德鲁打了个寒噤。 “外面好冷啊！”

There was a whiff of pine in the clear air, and the sky was blue and sunny. Andrew glanced around the compartment. "I wonder if there's anything warm to wear," he said. Hoooo… hoooo… hoooo… It was the hooting of a little pygmy owl. It had chased the shrew into the Time-A-Tron before their trip. The hoots were coming from a tangle of black fuel tubes. Andrew crawled behind the tubes. "Holy moly!" he said, staring down at a pile of black coils. The owl was sitting on top of a huge egg! It was exactly like the Tyrannosaurus egg they had found 65 million years ago.

清新的空气中有一股松木的味道，天空是蓝色的，阳光明媚。 安德鲁环视了一下车厢。 “我想知道有没有暖和的衣服可穿，”他说。 呜呜……呜呜……呜呜……是一只小侏儒猫头鹰的叫声。 在他们出发前，它把鼩鼱追进了时空争霸。 轰鸣声来自一堆黑色的燃料管。 安德鲁爬到管子后面。 “天哪！”他说，眼睛盯着下面一堆黑色的线圈。 猫头鹰正坐在一个巨大的蛋上！和六千五百万年前发现的暴龙蛋一模一样。
