9 Eggbeaters, Aardvarks, and Abraham Lincoln

Chapter 9 EGGBEATERS, AARDVARKS, AND ABRAHAM LINCOLN Uncle Al's eyes lit up. "You must be in the part of my brain that gets smell messages!" he said. "When you smell something, your nose sends a signal to the part of your brain that deals with smell messages. "You're messing around in the smelling part of my brain. My brain thinks it's getting signals from my nose." "Sorry about the smell, Uncle Al," said Andrew, climbing through the nerve cells. Uncle Al rubbed his eyes. "I'm seeing stars!" he said.

第九章打蛋者、食蚁兽和亚伯拉罕·林肯艾尔叔叔的眼睛亮了起来。 “你一定在我大脑中接收气味信息的部分！”他说。 “当你闻到某种气味时，你的鼻子会向大脑中处理气味信息的部分发送信号。 “你在扰乱我大脑的嗅觉区。 我的大脑认为它收到了来自我鼻子的信号。” “对不起，艾尔叔叔，难闻的味道。”安德鲁一边说，一边爬过神经细胞。 艾尔叔叔揉了揉眼睛。“我看到星星了！”他说。

"You're stomping around at the back of my brain. The part that gets signals from my eyes. "But this means that you're going in the wrong direction. Thudd, are you okay?" zleep… "Knock, knock…," said Thudd. Andrew pressed Thudd's reset button before he could say another word. "Oops! Oops! Oops!" said Thudd. "Thudd make boo-boo. But Thudd know right way." He pointed left. "I hope you're right," said Andrew. "Because I can feel myself growing. We'll wreck Uncle Al's brain if we get much bigger."

“你在我脑子里乱踩。 接收我眼睛信号的那部分。 但这意味着你走错了方向。 “咚咚，咚咚……” 安德鲁还没来得及说一句话，就按下了泰德的重置按钮。 “哎呀!哦!哎哟！” “砰！砰！”不过，泰德知道怎么走。” 他指着左边。“我希望你是对的。”安德鲁说。 “因为我能感觉到自己在成长。 如果我们再大一点，就会把艾尔叔叔的脑子弄坏的。”

Andrew and Judy took a left and continued creeping through the tangle of Uncle Al's brain. Uncle Al's hologram looked away. "Hammer, pliers, monkey wrench," he said. "Drill, scissors, eggbeater…" Judy rolled her eyes. "You're not making any sense, Uncle Al," she said. Uncle Al smiled. "That's because you're trekking through the part of my brain that stores the names of tools," he said. "Strange-a-mundo!" said Judy. They trekked on, slipping and sliding along Uncle Al's nerve cells. "Crocodile, aardvark, rhinoceros beetle, giant squid," said Uncle Al. "Tyrannosaurus, bald eagle, humu humu nuku nuku apu ah ah fish." "Cheese Louise!" said Judy. "We must have crawled into the part of your brain that stores the names of animals!" "Right!" said Uncle Al. Andrew and Judy pushed on.

安德鲁和朱迪向左拐，继续在阿尔叔叔混乱的大脑中爬行。 艾尔叔叔的全息影像看向别处。 “锤子、钳子、扳手，”他说。 “钻头、剪刀、打蛋器……”朱迪翻了个白眼。 “你这是胡说八道，艾尔叔叔，”她说。 艾尔叔叔笑了。“那是因为你是在我大脑中储存工具名称的部分中跋涉，”他说。 “奇怪的世界！”朱迪说。 他们沿着艾尔叔叔的神经细胞一路滑来滑去。 “鳄鱼、土豚、犀牛甲虫、巨型乌贼，”阿尔叔叔说。 “暴龙，秃鹰，humu humu nuku nuku apu啊啊鱼。” “奶酪露易丝！”朱迪说。 “我们一定是爬进了你大脑中储存动物名字的部分！”“对！”阿尔叔叔说。 安德鲁和朱迪继续往前走。

"Abraham Lincoln, Chief Sitting Bull, J. K. Rowling, Queen Elizabeth, King Tut, Judy Dubble," chanted Uncle Al. "The part of the brain for people's names!" said Andrew. Uncle Al smiled. "That means you're going in the right direction," he said. "Good work, Thudd." "Thunkoo," said Thudd. "Ha ha ha!" Uncle Al laughed. "Hoo hoo!" "What's so funny?" asked Judy. "I feel like I'm being tickled," said Uncle Al. "Hee hee hee! But you're on track. Keep going! Hoo hoo!" "Bluck!" blurted Uncle Al. His face scrunched up like a wad of paper. "What's happening, Uncle Al?" asked Andrew. "My mouth tastes like an old boot," said Uncle Al. "You're in the taste area of my brain. Ah! You must have moved. Now I'm tasting pepperoni pizza! Wish you could stay there for a while."

亚伯拉罕·林肯，首席坐牛。 k·罗琳、伊丽莎白女王、图坦卡蒙国王、朱迪·杜布尔。” “大脑中用来记人名的部分！”安德鲁说。 艾尔叔叔笑了。“这意味着你正朝着正确的方向前进，”他说。 “干得好，泰德。”“土库，”泰德说。 “哈哈哈！”艾尔叔叔笑了。 “呼!呼! !”“什么事这么好笑？”朱迪问。 “我觉得我被挠痒痒了，”阿尔叔叔说。 “嘻嘻！”但你已经步入正轨了。 继续!呼!呼! !”“倒霉！”艾尔叔叔脱口而出。 他的脸皱成一团，像一团纸。 “发生什么事了，阿尔叔叔？”安德鲁问。 “我嘴里的味道像一只旧靴子，”阿尔叔叔说。 “你在我大脑的味觉区。 啊!你一定搬家了。现在我正在品尝意大利辣香肠披萨！希望你能在那儿多待一会儿。”

Thudd pointed up. Andrew and Judy pulled themselves higher. Uncle Al chuckled. "Now I'm hearing, um, a rude sound and a toilet flushing," he said. "Thudd, you're doing great work! You're in the part of my brain that gets sound messages from my ears." "Thunkoo, Unkie!" said Thudd. "Now you need to find the big nerve that leads to my ear." Thudd looked around till he found a thick tangle of brain cells. meep… "Big nerve!" he said. "This way!" As they crept along, Andrew's backbone began to feel stretchy. "I'm growing again," he said. "Me too," said Judy. meep… "Thudd too!" squeaked Thudd. As Andrew groped his way through the thick, soft clutter of brain cells, he found himself in a space that seemed to be filled with red pudding. He banged his head into something hard.

砰砰向上指了指。安德鲁和朱迪爬得更高了。 阿尔叔叔笑了。“现在我听到了粗鲁的声音和冲厕所的声音，”他说。 “砰，你做得很棒！”你在我大脑中接收耳朵发出的声音信息的部分。” “哎哟，哎哟！” “现在你需要找到通往我耳朵的那条大神经。” 塔德环顾四周，发现了一团厚厚的脑细胞。 “好大的胆子！” “这样!”他们蹑手蹑脚地走着，安德鲁的脊背开始感到有弹性。 “我又长起来了，”他说。 “我也是，”朱迪说。“砰！”砰尖叫道。 当安德鲁摸索着穿过厚厚的、柔软的杂乱的脑细胞时，他发现自己进入了一个似乎装满了红色布丁的空间。 他的头撞到了硬物上。

"What's this?" said Andrew. "Everything else inside Uncle Al is squishy!" meep… "Nerve going through skull bone now," said Thudd. "This can't be bone," said Judy. "It's full of holes! Bone is solid and hard!" Uncle Al shook his head. "Parts of bones are solid and hard," he said. "But some bones, like skulls, have hard bone on the outside and spongy

“这是什么？”安德鲁说。 “现在神经穿过颅骨了。”塔德说。 “这不可能是骨头，”朱迪说。 “到处都是洞！”骨头又硬又结实！”艾尔叔叔摇了摇头。 他说：“骨头的某些部分是坚实而坚硬的。 “但有些骨头，比如头骨，外面有坚硬的骨头，像海绵一样
