5 Uh-oh, Guano!

Chapter 5 UH-OH, GUANO! Andrew's light shined on a snakey head with frills on the sides. The creature's body was snakey, too, but it had four legs. Its skin was white and so thin that they could see its in-sides! "Cheese Louise!" Judy shouted. She scrambled under the roach skeleton with Andrew. It wasn't quite high enough for them to stand up, so they had to crouch, waist-deep, among the slimy, wriggling worms. meep… "Blind cave salamander!" said Thudd. "Whew!" sighed Judy. "If it's blind, it can't find us." "Noop! Noop! Noop!" said Thudd. "Cave salamander smell stuff. Feel stuff move. Find what

第五章哎呀，鸟粪！安德鲁的灯光照在一个两边有褶边的蛇头上。 这种生物的身体也是蛇形的，但它有四条腿。 它的皮肤又白又薄，他们可以看到它的内脏！“奶酪路易斯!”朱迪喊道。 她和安德鲁一起爬到蟑螂骨架下面。 它不够高，他们站不起来，所以他们必须蹲下，腰深，躲在黏糊糊的、蠕动着的虫子中间。 “盲洞蝾螈！” “哇！”朱迪叹了口气。“如果它是盲目的，它就找不到我们。” “等待!等待!不！” “洞穴蝾螈能闻到东西。 感觉物体移动。找到什么

move. Eat what move." The bug skeleton shook. They could see a blurry shadow through the skeleton. It was the salamander's head wagging above them. "It's gonna get us!" cried Judy. Andrew felt a poke from Thudd in his pocket. meep… "Cave salamander not like heat," said Thudd. "Flashlight make heat. Drewd gotta shine light on salamander head. Hurry!" Andrew lifted the skeleton a crack. The spooky white head was a quarter-inch away. Andrew shined his flashlight beam right in the salamander's face. It reared its head, then turned and scooted into the darkness. meep… "Salamander need to be wet, need to be in water," said Thudd. "Follow salamander, get to

移动。吃什么动。”虫子的骨架摇晃着。 他们可以透过骨架看到一个模糊的影子。 原来是蝾螈的头在他们头顶上摇来摇去。 “它会抓住我们的！”朱迪叫道。 安德鲁感到自己的口袋里被砰的一戳。 “穴居蝾螈不喜欢热。” “手电筒会发热。德鲁得把光照在蝾螈头上。 快点!”安德鲁把骨架抬了一下。 那个吓人的白头就在四分之一英寸远的地方。 安德鲁把手电筒的光束照在蝾螈的脸上。 它抬起头，然后转身跑进了黑暗中。 “蝾螈需要湿润，需要待在水里。” “跟着蝾螈，到。

water. Find way to get out, maybe." Judy rolled her eyes. "How is water going to get us out of here?" she asked. meep… "Cave made by water," said Thudd. "Water come into cave. Water come out someplace. Find stream, find river in cave, find way out of cave." "Follow that salamander!" said Andrew. With Andrew in front of Judy, they balanced the bug skeleton on their heads. The light on Andrew's forehead shined through the skeleton just enough for them to see where they were going. Slowly, they began plodding along in the direction the salamander had taken. With every step, they had to plow their way through slimy, wormy things. In places with fewer worms, their feet sank ankle-deep into bat guano. "Gross-a-mundo!" complained Judy. "This is soooo disgusting!"

水。想办法出去，也许吧。” 朱迪翻了个白眼。“水怎么能把我们从这里救出去？”她问。 “水洞。”萨德说。 “水进了洞。水从某处流出。 找到小溪，找到洞穴里的河流，找到走出洞穴的路。” “跟着那条蝾螈！”安德鲁说。 安德鲁站在朱迪前面，他们把虫子骨架顶在头上保持平衡。 安德鲁额头上的光线透过骷髅照了进来，正好让他们看清自己要去的地方。 慢慢地，他们开始朝着火蜥蜴的方向缓慢地前进。 每走一步，他们都得在黏糊糊的、充满虫子的东西中犁出一条路来。 在蠕虫较少的地方，它们的脚会陷进到脚踝深的蝙蝠粪便中。 “世界真恶心！”朱迪抱怨道。 “这太恶心了！”

"Feels like sloshing through mud," said Andrew. As they pushed on and on, the cries of the bats sounded farther away. Fewer squishy things rubbed against them. Soon they were scratching their legs on sharp pebbles and rocks, not sinking into bat poop. The air felt cool and damp against Andrew's skin. The farther they went, the colder it got. "I haven't had to smack a stupid bug for at least half an hour," said Judy. "Let's get out of this creepy shell. It's giving me a headache." "I guess we could do that," said Andrew. "It'll be easier to see where we're going. One, two, three, push!" The bug skeleton tumbled onto its side. Andrew squinted. Was that a dim glow in the distance or was he imagining it? He rubbed his eyes. The glow was still there. "I see light!" he shouted.

“感觉就像在泥里打滚。”安德鲁说。 当他们继续向前推进时，蝙蝠的叫声从更远的地方传来。 更少的黏糊糊的东西摩擦着它们。 很快，他们就在锋利的鹅卵石和岩石上挠腿，而不是掉进蝙蝠的粪便里。 空气吹在安德鲁的皮肤上，感到又凉又湿。 他们走得越远，天气就越冷。 朱迪说：“我至少有半个小时不用拍一只愚蠢的虫子了。” “让我们跳出这个令人毛骨悚然的外壳。 这让我头疼。” “我想我们可以这么做，”安德鲁说。 “这样更容易看清我们要去的地方。 一、二、三，推！”虫子的骨架翻了个身。 安德鲁眯起了双眼。那是远处的微光，还是他的幻觉？ 他揉了揉眼睛。红光还在。 “我看见光了！”
