5 You’ve Got to Have Guts

Chapter 5 YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE GUTS The blood river swooshed Andrew and Judy into a space crisscrossed by long, thick white strands. "These things look like tent ropes," said Andrew. meep… "Act kinda like tent ropes," said Thudd. "Called heartstrings. Tent ropes hold tent in place. Heartstrings hold heart flaps in place." Andrew whammed against a tough, stretchy heartstring and bounced off. The wide, fast river of blood zoomed Andrew and Judy up and up and around. "It's like we're on a blood roller coaster," said Andrew. "Aaack!" yelled Judy. "I'm gonna be sick!"

血流成河把安德鲁和朱迪冲进了一个又长又粗的白线纵横交错的空间。 “这些东西看起来像帐篷的绳子，”安德鲁说。 “就像帐篷的绳子一样。” “叫心弦。帐篷绳索将帐篷固定在适当的位置。 心弦使心脏跳动到位。” 安德鲁撞到了一根坚韧的心弦，却被弹了回来。 宽阔、湍急的血河使安德鲁和朱迪向上、向上、绕来绕去。 安德鲁说：“我们就像坐在过山车上。” “啊！”朱迪叫道。“我要吐了！”

Whoosh… Whooosh… Whoosh… "Sounds like a big storm," said Andrew. meep… "Sound of Unkie Al breathing," said Thudd. "Leaving heart now. Going to lungs." "Super-duper pooper-scooper!" said Andrew. "We can get out of Uncle Al soon!" The blood carried them into a narrow passageway. They were in a lung capillary now. Whoosh… Whooosh… Whoosh… The blood cell ahead of Andrew was changing from deep purple to dark red. "Woofers!" said Andrew. "It's getting easier to breathe!" meep… "Red blood cells picking up oxygen from lungs," said Thudd, pointing to his face screen. "So how do we get out of this stupid capillary?" asked Judy. meep… "Get out same way big-eater cells get in," said Thudd. He pointed to faint lines in the capillary wall.

“听起来像一场大风暴。”安德鲁说。 “是奥基·阿尔的呼吸声。” “现在离开心。去肺部。” “超级狗屎铲！”安德鲁说。 “我们很快就能摆脱阿尔叔叔了！”血液把他们带进了一条狭窄的通道。 它们现在在肺毛细血管里。 呼……呼……呼……安德鲁面前的血细胞从深紫色变成了深红色。 “低音炮！”安德鲁说。“红血球从肺里吸收氧气，”萨德指着他的屏幕说。 “那我们怎么从这个愚蠢的毛细血管里出来呢？”朱迪问。 “跟大食性细胞进来的方式一样出去。” 他指着毛细血管壁上模糊的线条。

"Capillary wall made of single layer of cells. Kinda like patchwork quilt. Got spaces between cells where stuff get in, stuff get out. Food, oxygen, big-eater cells." As the blood sped them along, Andrew ran his hands along the capillary wall, feeling for a space. His fingers poked through an opening between two cells. He grabbed on to the edge of one of them. Judy slammed into him. "Ergh!" Andrew groaned. The current of blood pulled at them. Andrew struggled to spread the cells apart. Suddenly he felt something soft creep across his fingers, then across the top of his hand. Long, thin tentacles came slithering through the slit in the capillary. A tentacle poked Andrew in the eye!

毛细血管壁由单层细胞组成。 有点像拼布被子。 牢房之间有空间，东西可以进，也可以出。 食物，氧气，大食性细胞。” 随着血液加速前进，安德鲁用手沿着毛细血管壁摸索着，寻找一个空间。 他的手指从两个牢房之间的开口戳了进去。 他抓住了其中一个的边缘。 朱迪猛地撞上了他。“纯砂沙漠!”安德鲁呻吟着。 血流向他们涌来。 安德鲁努力将细胞分开。 突然，他感到有什么柔软的东西从他的手指上滑过，然后又滑过他的手掌。 又长又细的触手从毛细血管的缝隙里滑了出来。 一只触手戳进了安德鲁的眼睛！

"Holy moly!" hollered Andrew. "A big eater!" He let go of the cell edges and pulled himself completely inside his red blood cell. A stream of bright red cells whooshed Andrew and Judy off again. meep… "Blood got lotsa oxygen now," said Thudd. "Gonna leave lungs." Judy ran both hands along the capillary wall. "We'd better find another hole," she said. "Or else we'll be stuck in Uncle Al forever!" The capillary tube widened.

“天哪！”安德鲁叫道。 “一个大吃货！”他放开了细胞边缘，把自己完全拉进了红细胞里。 一股鲜红的细胞流又把安德鲁和朱迪甩了出去。 “现在血液里有很多氧气了。” “要留下肺了。”朱迪用双手沿着毛细血管壁摸索。 “我们最好再找一个洞，”她说。 “不然我们就永远被阿尔叔叔困住了！”毛细血管增宽。

meep… "Too late!" said Thudd. "Going back to heart now. Heart gonna pump blood into body." The blood river drove them through the flaps of another heart valve. It slammed them into tough heartstrings. It whooshed them up again, then down. "Holy moly!" said Andrew. "Where are we going now?" meep… "Brain, maybe," said Thudd. "Foot, maybe. All kindsa places to go in Unkie Al." Andrew and Judy tumbled through a cloud of prickly orange specks. The specks stuck to their red blood cells like dust. Eek! squeaked Thudd. "Virus!" "Viruses!" said Andrew. "Viruses give us colds and flus!" meep… "And lotsa worse stuff, too," said Thudd. "They're so tiny!" said Judy. meep… "Virus tiny" agreed Thudd. "But virus can get into cell. Change way cell work. Can make

“太晚了！” “现在回到心里去。心脏将血液泵入身体。” 血液流经另一个心脏瓣膜的瓣叶。 它触动了他们坚强的心弦。 它让它们再次上升，然后下降。 “天哪！”安德鲁说。“我们现在要去哪儿？” “脚,也许。各种各样的地方都可以去。” 安德鲁和朱迪翻滚着穿过一团多刺的橙色斑点。 这些斑点像灰尘一样粘在他们的红细胞上。 唷!Thudd吱吱地。“病毒!”“病毒！”安德鲁说。 “病毒会让我们感冒和流感！”“还有很多更严重的东西。” “它们好小啊！”朱迪说。 “病毒很小。”泰德同意了。 “但是病毒可以进入细胞。 改变细胞的工作方式。可以使

Unkie sick, sick, sick!" Suddenly long, sticky tentacles wrapped around Andrew's red blood cell, then Judy's. "Oh no!" said Judy, ducking inside her cell. "These red blood cells were supposed to keep the stupid big eaters off of us." "Wowzers schnauzers!" said Andrew, peeking out of his cell. "The big eaters are pulling the viruses off of our cells!" They tossed about in the river of plasma as the big eaters crept over their cells, tugging at the prickly viruses. After a while, Andrew felt no tentacles slithering outside his cell. He poked his head up. The big eaters were gone, and most of the orange specks were gone, too. They were in a narrow capillary now. The blood sent them lurching through a zigzagging path. meep… "In Unkie's intestines now," said Thudd. "Part where food get into blood through capillary spaces."

昂基病了，病了，病了！”突然，又长又粘的触手缠住了安德鲁的红细胞，然后是朱迪的。 “哦，不！”朱迪边说边躲进牢房。 “这些红细胞本来是要让那些愚蠢的大食用者远离我们的。” “沃茨雪纳瑞！”安德鲁说，从牢房里往外偷看。 “大胃王正在把我们细胞里的病毒吸走！”当这些大食用者爬到他们的细胞上，拽着带刺的病毒时，他们在血浆河中翻滚。 过了一会儿，安德鲁感到没有触手在他的牢房外滑动。 他抬起头来。大食性动物消失了，大部分橙色斑点也消失了。 他们现在在一个狭窄的毛细血管里。 鲜血使他们在曲折的道路上蹒跚前行。 “现在在昂基的肠子里。” “食物通过毛细血管进入血液的部分。”
