2 Bubble Trouble

chapter 2 BUBBLE TROUBLE "Oof!" Andrew crash-landed onto something wet and rubbery. It was slippery as a fish! He started sliding fast down a shiny, curving wall of swirling colors—green and pink and red and purple. When Andrew stopped sliding, he was upside down! His feet were caught in a drop of water at the bottom of a huge, clear globe. "Where are we?" Andrew wondered. meep… "Soap bubble!" said Thudd. Andrew looked down.

第二章泡沫化麻烦“呜！”安德鲁紧急降落在潮湿的橡胶状物体上。 它滑得像条鱼！他开始飞快地滑下一道闪闪发光的曲线墙，墙上的颜色呈漩涡状——绿色、粉色、红色和紫色。 当安德鲁停止滑动时，他是倒立着的！他的脚被一个巨大而清澈的球体底部的一滴水夹住了。 “我们在哪儿？”安德鲁很好奇。 “肥皂泡！” 安德鲁低下头。

Far below, mountains of suds rose from an ocean of water. "Wowzers!" he said. "It's like we're hanging from a cloud!" Then Andrew realized there was something he didn't see. "Where's Judy?" he asked. meep… "Oody bounce off bubble," said Thudd.

在远处的海底，一座座泡沫山从海水中升起。 “哇！”他说。“我们就像挂在云上一样！”然后安德鲁意识到有些东西他没看到。 “朱迪在哪儿？”他问。“呜呜！”“呜呜！”

"Oh no!" said Andrew. "And we can't even look for her because we're stuck here!" meep… "Not for long," said Thudd. He pointed up. "See top of bubble?" Andrew looked up through the bubble. The top was turning black! meep… "Bubble skin thin, thin, thin!" said Thudd. "Must pile up million bubble skins to be thick as page of book. Bubble color tell how thick bubble is. Black mean bubble skin thin as can be. Ready to go 'Boom!'" "Uh-oh," said Andrew. "I'd better get the Umbubble ready." Andrew reached into his back pocket and pulled out one of his inventions. It was the size and shape of a piece of bubble gum. Bright blue letters on the white wrapper spelled UMBUBBLE.

“哦不！”安德鲁说。“我们被困在这儿了，连找都找不到！” 他向上指了指。“看到泡沫的顶部了吗？”安德鲁透过泡泡抬起头来。 顶部开始变黑了！“泡泡皮薄，薄，薄！” “要堆积无数的气泡皮，厚得像一页书。” 气泡的颜色告诉气泡有多厚。 黑色意味着气泡皮尽可能薄。 准备好了！’”“哦哦，”安德鲁说。 “我最好把泡泡准备好。” 安德鲁把手伸进后口袋，拿出了他的一个发明。 它的大小和形状就像一块泡泡糖。 白色包装上亮蓝色的字母拼写为UMBUBBLE。

Andrew ripped off the wrapper and popped the little blue cube into his mouth. "Tastes like grapes!" said Andrew, chewing. "The last one I made tasted kind of like—" Just then, the rainbow soap bubble burst into a billion tiny drops! "—MEATBAAALLLSSS!!!" Andrew yelled as he was blasted off the exploding bubble. But a moment later, it felt as if a parachute had opened. He was floating! "Neato mosquito!" said Andrew. "I wonder why we slowed down?" meep… "Air filled with lotsa little molecules," said Thudd. "We so small, we bang into molecules! Make us fall slow. Like piece of dust! Look!"

安德鲁撕开包装纸，把那块蓝色的小方块塞进嘴里。 “尝起来像葡萄！”安德鲁说着，咀嚼着。 我做的最后一个尝起来有点像——”就在这时，彩虹肥皂泡破裂成十亿滴小水滴！“-MEATBAAALLLSSS ! !”安德鲁被炸出了爆炸的泡泡，他大叫道。 但过了一会儿，感觉好像降落伞打开了。 他漂浮着！“蚊子！”安德鲁说。 “空气里充满了许多小分子。” “我们这么小，我们撞到分子！”让我们慢慢堕落。 像一片尘土！看!”

Thudd pointed to his face screen. "Cool!" said Andrew. He watched shimmering soap-bubble blimps float past them. Twisting fingers of steam reached up from the water. Andrew and Thudd glided over the top of a glistening bubble mountain. Then a drop of spray slammed into Andrew. "Yaaaargh!"

泰德指着他的屏幕。 “酷！”安德鲁说。他看着闪闪发光的肥皂泡飞艇从他们身边漂过。 扭曲的蒸汽从水中升起。 安德鲁和萨德滑过一座闪闪发光的泡泡山。 接着，一滴水花砸到了安德鲁身上。 “Yaaaargh !”
