9 Please Don’t Eat Us! We Taste Terrible!

Chapter 9 PLEASE DON'T EAT US! WE TASTE TERRIBLE! They all turned to look. At the top of the ice wall was a zigzag crack. "Yowzers!" said Andrew. "It's like the cave painting." Judy turned to Thudd. "Does this mean we'll get washed away in another fifteen seconds?" she asked. meep… "Not know," said Thudd. "Flood happen anytime." "Then let's move it!" said Judy.

第九章请不要吃我们！我们很难吃！他们都转过头去看。 在冰墙的顶端有一个锯齿形的裂缝。 “尤尔斯！”安德鲁说。“就像洞穴壁画一样。” 朱迪转向萨德。“这是不是意味着我们再过15秒就会被冲走？”她问。 “不知道。” “洪水随时都可能发生。”“那我们就搬吧！”朱迪说。

In the shadows ahead, Andrew glimpsed a dark lump. It looked like a boulder, but it was rocking and squirming. And it was noisy! Nyeeek! Nyeeek! "What's that?" asked Andrew. Beeper ran up to it. "It's the glyptodont! It's on its back!" "Uh-oh," said Andrew. "It's awfully heavy. I don't know how we can get it back on its feet." Max went up to the glyptodont and touched it with his trunk. The glyptodont rocked from side to side and wiggled its armored feet in the air. Max shoved his enormous tusks beneath the squirming glyptodont and scooped it up! Nyeeek! Nyeeek! the glyptodont screeched. It didn't know it was being rescued. "Wowzers schnauzers!" said Andrew. "Way to go, Max!" shouted Beeper. "Good mammoth!" said Judy.

在前方的阴影中，安德鲁瞥见了一个黑色的肿块。 它看起来像一块巨石，但却在摇晃和扭动。 而且很吵！Nyeeek !Nyeeek !“那是什么？”安德鲁问。 Beeper向它跑去。“是雕齿兽！”它在它的背上！”“哦哦，”安德鲁说。 “它太重了。我不知道怎样才能让它重新站起来。” 马克斯走到雕齿兽跟前，用鼻子碰了碰它。 雕齿兽从一边摇到另一边，在空中摆动着它那带甲的脚。 马克斯把他巨大的长牙推到扭动的雕齿兽下面，把它捞了起来！Nyeeek !Nyeeek !雕齿兽尖叫起来。 它不知道自己被拯救了。 “哇兹雪纳瑞！”安德鲁说。 “干得好，麦克斯！” “好猛犸象！”朱迪说。

They left the forest and started climbing through snow and over rocks. They were scrambling higher and higher toward the glacier. The capybaras grunted, but they kept together and hurried along. "Whew!" said Andrew. "I'm getting pretty warm." He loosened the cape around his shoulders. "I'm getting tired," complained Judy. "Maybe I could take one of the capybaras back to our time," said Beeper. "I mean, they're just big guinea pigs." Judy rolled her eyes. "Don't even think about it," she said. Beeper stuck his tongue out at Judy and made a rude sound. meep… "Capybaras alive in our time, too," said Thudd. "Beeper can find capybara when we get back." "If we get back," said Judy.

他们离开了森林，开始在雪地和岩石上攀爬。 他们朝着冰川爬得越来越高。 水豚们哼了一声，但它们还是聚在一起，匆匆赶路。 “呼！”安德鲁说。“我暖和起来了。” 他松开肩上的披肩。 “我累了，”朱迪抱怨道。 “也许我可以带一只水豚回到我们的时代，”贝珀说。 “我的意思是，他们只是大豚鼠。” 朱迪翻了个白眼。“想都别想，”她说。 Beeper向Judy伸出舌头，发出粗鲁的声音。 “水豚在我们这个时代也活着。” “我们回来后，寻呼机可以找到水豚。” “如果我们回去的话，”朱迪说。

Andrew glimpsed a long dark shape lying on the snow. It looked familiar, but it was too big to be… "A feather!" said Andrew, stopping to examine it. The feather was longer than Andrew and as wide as his foot. meep… "Teratorn feather!" said Thudd. "Andrew!" yelled Judy. "Get back here! The capys are getting away!" Andrew picked up the feather and ran back to his side of the herd. "Hot doggies!" said Beeper. "What a great feather! Can I have it?" "Maybe we can share it," said Andrew. Judy squinted at a rocky ridge ahead. "I saw something move," she said. "Where?" asked Andrew. "There," said Judy, pointing. A shadowy figure walked out from behind the ridge. "It's a person!" Judy cried.

安德鲁瞥见雪地上躺着一个长长的黑影。 “一根羽毛！”安德鲁说着，停下来仔细看了看。 那根羽毛比安德鲁还长，和他的脚一样宽。 “抖抖羽毛！”泰德说。 “安德鲁！”朱迪喊道。“回来！”羊要跑了！”安德鲁捡起那根羽毛，跑回了牛群自己那一边。 “热狗！”哔哔说。 “多么伟大的羽毛啊！”能给我吗？”“也许我们可以一起吃，”安德鲁说。 朱迪眯着眼睛看着前面的岩石山脊。 “我看到有东西在动，”她说。 “在哪儿？”安德鲁问。“那里，”朱迪指着说。 一个影子从山脊后面走了出来。 “是一个人！”朱迪哭了。

"It's not Professor Winka," said Andrew. meep… "Not Unkie Al," said Thudd. "It's not my uncle, either," said Beeper. One by one, others joined the first figure. There were five of them. In single file, they walked slowly closer. meep… "Ice Age people!" said Thudd. "They're carrying spears!" said Judy. meep… "Ice Age people hunt mammoth," said Thudd. "Holy moly!" said Andrew, looking at Max and the little herd of capybaras. "These guys must look like lunch!" "What if they're cannibals?" asked Judy. "We'll tell them that girls taste better than boys," said Beeper. Judy poked Beeper. "Shhhhh!" she hushed. "They're almost here." The Ice Age people stopped in front of them. There were three men and two boys. Their black

“不是温卡教授。”安德鲁说。 “不是昂基·艾尔。”萨德说。 “也不是我叔叔，”Beeper说。 其他人一个接一个地加入了第一个人的行列。 他们有五个人。他们排成一列，慢慢走近。 “冰河时代的人！” “他们拿着长矛！”朱迪说。 “冰河时代的人猎杀猛犸象，”萨德说。 “天哪！”安德鲁看着麦克斯和那一小群水豚说。 “这些家伙看起来一定很像午餐！”“如果他们是食人族呢？”朱迪问。 “我们会告诉他们女孩比男孩好吃，”Beeper说。 朱迪戳了一下传呼机。“嘘！”她小声说。 “他们快到了。”冰河时代的人们在他们面前停下来。 有三个男人和两个男孩。 黑色的

hair was long and straight and hung down their backs. They wore fur jackets, leather pants, and hairy boots. Each one carried a spear. "Kah mika," said the tallest man, looking at Andrew. Andrew shrugged his shoulders. "I'm sorry," he said. "I don't understand what you're saying." "Iktal okook!" said one of the hunters. He gestured toward Max with the tip of his spear. "Oh, please don't eat Max!" pleaded Andrew. He pointed to Max and shook his head. The hunters aimed their spears and slowly surrounded them.

他们的头发又长又直，垂在背上。 他们穿着皮夹克、皮裤和毛茸茸的靴子。 每个人都拿着一支长矛。“Kah mika，”个子最高的男人看着安德鲁说。 安德鲁耸了耸肩。 “对不起，”他说。“我不明白你在说什么。” “好极了！”一个猎人说。 他用矛尖向马克斯做了个手势。 “哦，请不要吃麦克斯！”安德鲁恳求道。 他指着麦克斯摇了摇头。 猎人们瞄准长矛，慢慢地包围了他们。
