5 Time for the Schnozzles

Chapter 5 TIME FOR THE SCHNOZZLES Andrew plopped headfirst into the water. When he bobbed to the surface, he saw what had tossed him—a bullfrog that was now sitting on a rock. Andrew squinted at the frog. In its mouth, something was waggling. Andrew heard a faint but familiar scream. Judy! "Holy moly!" said Andrew.

安德鲁扑通一声头朝下跳进了水里。 当他浮到水面上时，他看到了把他抛来抛去的东西——一只牛蛙，它现在正坐在一块岩石上。 安德鲁眯着眼睛看着青蛙。 在它的嘴里，有什么东西在摇摆。 安德鲁听到一声微弱但熟悉的尖叫。 朱迪!“天哪！”安德鲁说。

Eek! squeaked Thudd. "What can we do?" asked Andrew. "That frog is a thousand times bigger than we are!" meep… "Throw mothballs at frog mouth!" said Thudd. "I thought mothballs were for bugs and snakes," said Andrew. meep… "Snake got special organ in mouth for smelling," said Thudd. "Frog got same kinda organ. Mothball smell confuse snake. Confuse frog, maybe…" "Judy's got mothballs, too," said Andrew, pulling mothball chips out of his pocket. "Judy!" he yelled. "Grab the mothball chips in your pocket. Toss them into the frog's mouth!"

唷!Thudd吱吱地。“我们能做什么呢？”安得烈问。 “那只青蛙比我们大一千倍！”“往青蛙嘴里扔樟脑丸！” “我以为樟脑丸是给虫子和蛇吃的，”安德鲁说。 “蛇的嘴里有一种特殊的器官，用来闻气味。” “青蛙也有同样的器官。 樟脑丸的气味迷惑了蛇。 “朱迪也有樟脑丸，”安德鲁说着，从口袋里掏出了樟脑丸片。 “朱迪！”他喊道。“把樟脑丸片放在口袋里。 把它们扔进青蛙嘴里！”

Andrew aimed and threw his mothball chips as hard as he could. Andrew saw Judy shoving something into the frog's mouth. Suddenly the frog opened its mouth and Judy jumped out.

安德鲁瞄准目标，用尽全力扔出了他的樟脑丸。 安德鲁看见朱迪把什么东西塞进青蛙嘴里。 突然青蛙张开了嘴巴，朱迪跳了出来。

"Are you okay, Judy?" shouted Andrew. "I'm covered with frog spit!" she yelled, splashing frantically toward a thick clump of cattails. The next instant, the bullfrog was zooming over Andrew's head like an airplane! meep… "Bullfrog see something else to eat!" said Thudd. Andrew swam after Judy toward the cattails.

“你还好吗，朱迪？”安德鲁喊道。 “我浑身都是青蛙的口水！”她喊道，疯狂地朝一丛厚厚的香蒲溅水。 下一秒，牛蛙就像飞机一样从安德鲁头顶飞过！“牛蛙看到别的东西吃了！” 安德鲁跟着朱迪向香蒲游去。

"The cattails are growing very close together," said Andrew. "They'll keep most things out. We'll be safer in there." Andrew had just about caught up to Judy. They were swimming through a swarm of whirligig beetles. Each one was spinning like a little top. Andrew felt a sudden rush of water from below. A splash washed over him. He blinked—and everything went black! The next thing Andrew knew, he was in total darkness. His head banged into something hard. Am I in an underwater cave? he wondered. Water was up his nose. He held his breath. A second later, Andrew felt like someone had shot him out of a water pistol. As he sped along, the water almost dragged his pants off. After a few seconds, he slowed down and paddled quickly to the top. "Blurf!" he blurted, blowing water from his nose. "Over here, Bug-Brain!" Judy yelled from close by.

“香蒲长得很近，”安德鲁说。 “他们会把大部分东西挡在外面。 我们在那里会更安全。”安德鲁就快赶上朱迪了。 他们正游过一群旋转的甲虫。 每一个都像小陀螺一样旋转着。 安德鲁突然感到一股水流从下面涌来。 溅起的水花溅到他身上。他眨了眨眼——一切都变黑了！接下来安德鲁所知道的就是一片漆黑。 他的头撞到了硬物上。 我是在水下洞穴里吗？ 他想知道。水冲进了他的鼻子。 他屏住了呼吸。一秒钟后，安德鲁觉得有人用水枪打中了他。 当他快速前进时，水几乎把他的裤子都冲走了。 几秒钟后，他放慢了速度，迅速地划向了水面。 “哼！”他脱口而出，擤了擤鼻子里的水。 “这边，笨蛋！”朱迪在旁边喊道。

meep… "Fish trying to eat whirligig beetles," said Thudd. "Gulp down Drewd and Oody, too." "It wasn't so bad," said Andrew. "The fish let us go." meep… "Bad! Bad! Bad!" said Thudd. "Cuz fish come back again. "When fish grab whirligig beetle, beetle spray nasty stuff. Not taste good. "Fish spit out beetle. Then fish grab beetle again. Beetle spray again. Fish spit out again. Fish keep catching beetle till beetle got no more nasty stuff to spray. Then fish swallow beetle." "The fish will come back to get us again when it comes back for the beetles!" said Judy, splashing toward the cattails. Andrew shook his head. "Maybe not, if we can get away from these whirligig bugs and into the cattails," he said. "But to be safe, we'd better put on the Schnozzles. There's one in the pocket of your Wannabee, Judy." "Humph," grumped Judy, but she reached into her pocket and pulled out a pair of black goggles

“鱼想要吃旋转甲虫。” “把德鲁和乌迪也吞下去。” “没那么糟，”安德鲁说。 “鱼放我们走了。”糟糕了!太糟糕了！” “因为鱼又回来了。 “当鱼抓住旋转甲虫时，甲虫会喷射出令人讨厌的东西。 味道不好。“鱼吐甲虫。” 然后鱼又抓住甲虫。 又是甲虫喷雾。鱼又吐了。 鱼不停地抓甲虫，直到甲虫没有更多的讨厌的东西可以喷。 然后鱼吞甲虫。” “鱼回来抓甲虫的时候还会回来抓我们的！”朱迪说着，朝香蒲溅起水花。 安德鲁摇了摇头。“也许不会，如果我们能摆脱这些旋转的虫子，进入香蒲，”他说。 “不过为了安全起见，我们还是戴上鼻嘴吧。 在你的Wannabee口袋里有一个，Judy。” “哼，”朱迪嘟囔着，但她把手伸进口袋，掏出一副黑色的护目镜
