5 Doctor Kron-Tox!

Chapter 5 DOCTOR KRON-TOX! Floating outside was an enormous cube-shaped chunk of blackness. Lightning flickered around it and inside it. "It's the Tick-Tox Box!" said Andrew. The Tick-Tox Box was Doctor Kron-Tox's time-travel machine. "It looks a lot bigger now," said Judy, peering over Andrew's head. "The Tick-Tox Box grows to fit whatever's inside it," said Uncle Al. "Doctor Kron-Tox must be carrying a big load." The lightning inside the Tick-Tox Box faded to a flicker.

第五章克朗托克斯医生！外面漂浮着一大块巨大的立方体形状的黑色。 闪电在它周围和里面闪烁。 “这是滴答盒！”安德鲁说。 滴答盒是克朗托克斯博士的时间旅行机器。 “它现在看起来大了很多，”朱迪说，从安德鲁的头上往下看。 “滴答盒能装下里面的任何东西，”艾尔叔叔说。 “克朗托克斯博士一定带了很多东西。” Tick-Tox盒子里的闪电消失了，变成了闪烁。

Suddenly a jagged crack split one wall of the Tick-Tox Box. Out of the crack stepped a tall, thin man in a black cape. Long white hair fell past his shoulders. His nose and mouth were covered by a white mask. In his fists he gripped fat chains. "It's my uncle!" said Beeper, pushing in front of Uncle Al. "Creep-a-roony!" said Judy. "Why's he wearing that stupid mask over his face?" "He's allergic to many animals," said Winka. "He wears the mask to keep from breathing in the dander." meep… "Dander is little skin flakes," said Thudd. "Like dandruff," chuckled Beeper, pulling Judy's hair. "Doctor Kron-Tox can't control himself when he's sneezing," said Uncle Al. "He's helpless." Eeeeeeeeee! From inside the Tick-Tox Box came a high- pitched scream.

突然，滴答盒的一面墙上出现了一道锯齿状的裂缝。 一个身穿黑斗篷的瘦高个儿从裂缝里走了出来。 长长的白发垂过他的肩膀。 他的鼻子和嘴巴都戴着一个白色的面具。 他的拳头里攥着粗壮的锁链。 “是我叔叔！”Beeper说，推到Al叔叔的前面。 “爬行！”朱迪说。 “他为什么戴着那个愚蠢的面具？”“他对很多动物过敏，”温卡说。 “他戴着面具是为了不吸入皮屑。” “皮屑就是皮肤上的小薄片。” “像头皮屑一样，”哔哔咯咯地笑着，拉着朱迪的头发。 “克朗托克斯医生打喷嚏的时候控制不住自己，”艾尔叔叔说。 “他无助。”Eeeeeeeeee !从滴答盒里传来一声尖厉的尖叫。

Doctor Kron-Tox flung himself toward the crack in the Tick-Tox Box. He seemed to be struggling with something inside. Andrew heard a voice that sounded like a hiss: "Not time to go, Not yet, I say. Just two come now, The rest must stay." Doctor Kron-Tox yanked the chains. A boulder- like creature on stumpy legs crept out. "What is that?" asked Judy. "It looks like a Volkswagen Bug with feet!" "Look at that giant spiky ball at the end of its tail!" said Beeper. meep… "Glyptodont!" said Thudd. "It's a kind of giant armadillo," explained Winka. "Doctor Kron-Tox must have stopped off in South America," said Uncle Al. "That's where those glyptodonts live."

克朗托克斯博士扑向滴答箱的裂缝。 他的内心似乎在挣扎。 安德鲁听到一个像嘶嘶声的声音：“还没到走的时候，我说，还没到。 现在只来两个人，其余的必须留下。” 克朗托克斯博士猛拉铁链。 一个长着粗短腿的大石头似的生物爬了出来。 “那是什么？”朱迪问。 “它看起来像一辆长了脚的大众甲壳虫！”“看它尾巴末端那个巨大的尖球！” “雕齿兽！” “这是一种巨型犰狳，”温卡解释说。 “克朗托克斯医生一定是在南美洲停留过。”艾尔叔叔说。 “那就是雕齿兽生活的地方。”

Following slowly behind the glyptodont was a furry thing as big as an elephant. But it was standing on its hind legs. It was so tall, it could look into your bedroom window, even if your bedroom was on the second floor of your house. "Santa Claus on a snow cone!" said Uncle Al. "It's a giant ground sloth. Look how slowly it's moving." meep… "Sloth mean laziness," said Thudd. Unk… Unk… Unk… Grunty noises were coming from the Tick-Tox Box. "No! NOOOOO!" screamed Doctor Kron-Tox.

慢慢地跟在雕齿兽后面的是一个像大象一样大的毛茸茸的东西。 但它是用后腿站立的。 它很高，可以看到你卧室的窗户，即使你的卧室在你房子的二楼。 “雪筒上的圣诞老人！”阿尔叔叔说。 “这是一只巨大的地懒。 看它移动得多慢。” “懒就是懒惰。” 叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮叮 “不!不——不！”克朗托克斯博士尖叫道。

Suddenly a crowd of furry pig-sized animals poured out of the Tick-Tox Box. "Hoo boy!" said Beeper, sticking his head out of the doorway. "They look like guinea pigs— gigunda guinea pigs!" "In a way they are," said Uncle Al, pulling Beeper back inside. meep… "Capybara!" said Thudd. "Right!" said Uncle Al. "Capybaras belong to the same family of animals as guinea pigs. They're rodents, like mice and rats and squirrels." The capybaras seemed frantic to get out. They were climbing over each other. They were climbing over Doctor Kron-Tox! "Back, back, you pigs, Into your pen! You brats

突然，一群毛茸茸的猪大小的动物从滴答盒里涌了出来。 “好小子！”Beeper说着，把头伸出了门口。 “他们看起来像豚鼠——好大的豚鼠！”“在某种程度上，它们是。”艾尔叔叔说着，把哔哔拉回了屋里。 “水豚！” “对！”阿尔叔叔说。水豚和豚鼠属于同一科动物。 它们是啮齿类动物，比如老鼠和松鼠。” 水豚们似乎急着要出来。 他们互相攀越。 他们从克朗托克斯博士身上爬过去了！“退后，退后，你们这些猪，进你们的猪圈去！”你的后代

Will never eat again!" The capybaras got tangled in Doctor Kron- Tox's chains. "AKKKK!" he cried as he toppled over and let go of the chains.

我再也不吃东西了！”水豚们被克朗托克斯博士的锁链缠住了。 “三k党！”他喊道，一边倒在地上，松开了铁链。
