4 What’s Stinkier Than a Whale’s Intestines

Chapter 4 WHAT'S STINKIER THAN A WHALE'S INTESTINES? Andrew was trapped in a dream. He was in a courtroom. A jury had found him guilty of inventing the Aroma-Rama. The Aroma- Rama was supposed to make homes and stores and offices smell like a garden. Instead, it made every place smell like stinky feet. Andrew's punishment was to clean out refrigerators for the rest of his life. A guard brought him to a room filled with junky old refrigerators. Andrew was cleaning the first one. He had just twisted the lid off a jar of black goo that smelled

什么东西比鲸鱼的肠子还臭？ 安德鲁被困在梦里。 他在法庭上。陪审团认定他发明了Aroma-Rama。 香气- Rama应该让家庭，商店和办公室闻起来像花园。 相反，它让每个地方都散发着臭脚的味道。 安德鲁的惩罚是在他的余生里清理冰箱。 一个警卫把他带到一个堆满了废旧冰箱的房间。 安德鲁在打扫第一个。 他刚刚拧开了一罐黑色粘稠物的盖子，那味道很难闻

like sour milk, gasoline, and dog poop when… Klunketa… klunketa… klunketa… A loud clunking sound woke him up. Andrew felt damp all over. He rubbed his eyes. The light was bright. He was leaning against a tall wall with brown and yellow tiles. And he was sitting on a pile of garbage! The room looked familiar, but something was wrong. The ceiling looked awfully far away. "Uh-oh," said Andrew. "The Goa shrunk us, pooped us out, and now we're sitting on the tiny garbage I shrunk before! I must be about as big as a cockroach." meep… "Small cockroach," said Thudd. Ga-nufff… ga-nufff… gnewww… Andrew turned toward the sound. It was coming from a pile of dark, frizzy hair nearby. The pile was snoring! "Judy!" said Andrew to the pile of hair. Judy was asleep and buried up to her neck in garbage. Klunketa… klunketa… klunketa…

就像酸牛奶、汽油和狗屎一样，咔嗒，咔嗒，咔嗒，咔嗒，一声巨响把他吵醒了。 安德鲁感到全身潮湿。 他揉了揉眼睛。灯光很亮。 他倚在一堵贴着棕色和黄色瓷砖的高墙上。 他坐在一堆垃圾上！房间看起来很眼熟，但有些不对劲。 天花板看起来非常遥远。 “哦哦，”安德鲁说。“果阿号缩小了我们，把我们赶了出去，现在我们坐在我之前缩小的小垃圾上！”我一定和蟑螂一样大。” “小蟑螂，”泰德说。 Ga-nufff…Ga-nufff…gnewww...安德鲁转向声音。 那声音来自附近一堆乌黑卷曲的头发。 那堆东西在打鼾！“朱迪！”安德鲁对着那堆头发说。 朱迪睡着了，她的脖子被埋在垃圾里。 Klunketa, Klunketa, Klunketa…

The clunking sound was closer. Andrew pushed runny cheese and soggy crackers away from Judy's shoulders and tried to shake her awake. Ga-nufff… ga-nufff… gnewww… She shook her head but stayed sound asleep. Klunketa… klunketa… klunketa… "Whoa!" came a deep voice from the doorway. "Hey, Frank! Get a look at the fake snake! Must be for Show-and-Tell Day." "No way, Jeff," said Frank. "It's for Take Your Fake Snake to Work Day." The men laughed. "Hey," said Frank. "Where's that garbage we're supposed to pick up?" "Must be that bag next to the fake snake," said Jeff. "I'll get it." Andrew watched the dark, heavy shoes get closer. "I'm not even as high as the sole of his shoe," said Andrew. "He could stomp me like a bug."

撞击声更近了。 安德鲁推开朱迪肩上溏心的奶酪和湿漉漉的饼干，试图把她摇醒。 Ga-nufff…Ga-nufff…gnewww...她摇了摇头，但仍然睡得很熟。 “哇！”门口传来一个低沉的声音。 “嗨,弗兰克!看看这条假蛇！一定是为展示日准备的。” “不可能，杰夫，”弗兰克说。 “这是为‘带假蛇上班日’准备的。” 男人们笑了。“嘿，”弗兰克说。 “我们应该捡的垃圾在哪里？”“一定是假蛇旁边的那个包，”杰夫说。 “我去拿。”安德鲁看着那双又黑又沉的鞋子越来越近。 “我甚至没有他的鞋底那么高，”安德鲁说。 “他可以像踩虫子一样踩我。”

"Well, look here," said Jeff. "The fake snake made fake poop! Hand me a broom and a dustpan, Frank. Thanks. I'll toss this stuff into the garbage bag." Andrew looked up at Jeff's face. It was like looking at the carvings of the presidents on Mount Rushmore. "HELP!" Andrew shouted. "GET US OUT OF THE GARBAGE!" The dark, dirty dustpan clunked against the floor. A wall of yellow bristles swept toward Andrew like a tsunami. Andrew covered his face with his hands and crouched in the garbage. A wave of stinky wetness crashed over him as the pile of tiny garbage was shoved into the dustpan.

“嗯，看这里，”杰夫说。 “假蛇造了假屎！”给我一把扫帚和簸箕，弗兰克。 谢谢。我要把这些东西扔进垃圾袋里。” 安德鲁抬头看着杰夫的脸。 这就像在看拉什莫尔山上的总统雕刻一样。 “救命!”安德鲁喊道。“把我们从垃圾堆里救出来！”又黑又脏的簸箕在地板上哐当地响着。 一堵黄色鬃毛的墙像海啸一样向安德鲁扑来。 安德鲁用双手捂住脸，蹲在垃圾堆里。 当那堆小垃圾被塞进簸箕时，一股臭气扑面而来。

Andrew felt the dustpan going up, then it tilted. Andrew was sliding fast. Suddenly he felt his stomach fluttering into his mouth. They were falling into the garbage bag! Splat!

安德鲁感到簸箕在上升，然后它倾斜了。 安德鲁滑得很快。突然，他觉得自己的胃快要吐出来了。 它们掉进了垃圾袋里！长条木板!

"Oofers!" hollered Andrew as he belly-flopped onto a regular-sized pickle at the top of the bag. "Andrew?" Judy called sleepily from a soggy taco shell. She rubbed her eyes and yawned. "Where are we? It's stinkier than a whale's intestines." "Um, we're in a garbage bag," said Andrew. "The Goa Constrictor shrunk us." Judy rolled off her taco shell. "We're shrunk again!" She crawled toward Andrew. "Wait till I get my hands on you!" Judy wiped a drop of hot sauce off her nose and shoved her face toward Andrew's. "I should have kept my New Year's resolution," she said angrily. "What was that?" said Andrew. "To stay at least five miles away from you at all times," said Judy. "Listen," said Andrew. "As soon as I find the remote, we'll get out of the bag, get into the Goa Constrictor's mouth, and I'll press the Reverse button. We'll be right back to our normal size in no time."

“哎哟！”安德鲁大叫一声，把肚子扑倒在袋子顶上一块普通大小的泡菜上。 “安德鲁?”朱迪趴在湿透的玉米饼壳上，睡意朦胧地叫道。 她揉了揉眼睛，打了个哈欠。 “我们在哪儿？”比鲸鱼的肠子还臭。” “嗯，我们在一个垃圾袋里，”安德鲁说。 “果阿巨蟒把我们给缩了。” 朱迪滚下她的墨西哥卷饼壳。 “我们又缩小了！”她向安德鲁爬去。 “等我抓到你！”朱迪擦去鼻子上的一滴辣酱，把脸凑向安德鲁的脸。 “我应该遵守我的新年决心，”她生气地说。 “那是什么？”安德鲁说。 “要始终保持至少五英里的距离，”朱迪说。 “听着，”安德鲁说。“只要我找到遥控器，我们就从袋子里出来，进入果阿蟒蛇的嘴里，然后我就按反向按钮。 我们很快就会恢复到正常的大小。”
