3 Umbubble to the Rescue

chapter 3 UMBUBBLE TO THE RESCUE Andrew stuck to the outside of the drop. It was like riding a giant water balloon! Plop! The drop crashed and dragged Andrew under the churning water near the faucet. Thudd! thought Andrew as he held his breath and swam to the surface. Uncle Al had warned him that Thudd should never get wet! As soon as Andrew popped into the steamy air, he pulled Thudd out of his pocket and held him above the water.

第三章冒泡救援安德鲁粘在了水滴的外面。 就像乘坐一个巨大的水球！扑通一声地!水滴哗啦一声，把安德鲁拖到了水龙头附近翻腾的水里。 Thudd !安德鲁屏住呼吸，向水面游去。 阿尔叔叔曾警告过他，永远不要把泰德弄湿！安德鲁一跳进湿漉漉的空气里，就从口袋里掏出砰德，把它举到水面上。

The buttons on Thudd's chest were blinking red. They were supposed to be green! meep… "Where sheep go to get haircut?" asked Thudd. There was a goofy smile on his face screen. "What?" asked Andrew. meep… "Baa baa shop!" said Thudd. "Hee hee!" Then Thudd's eyes closed. "Schnurm… schnurm… schnurm…" It sounded like Thudd was snoring! "Thudd?" said Andrew. He shook Thudd gently. Andrew was worried. Thudd had never told jokes before. And he'd never gone to sleep, either. The Umbubble in Andrew's mouth was nice and soft now. Andrew started blowing a clear blue bubble. When the Umbubble was twice as big as he was, Andrew stopped blowing. The Umbubble floated gently on the water.

泰德胸前的纽扣闪着红光。 它们应该是绿色的！“羊去哪儿理发？” 他的屏幕上有一个傻笑。 “什么？”安德鲁问。“咩咩店！” “嘻嘻!”然后，泰德闭上了眼睛。 “嘘……嘘……嘘……”听起来像是砰的鼾声！“砰？”安德鲁说。 他轻轻地摇了摇砰砰。安德鲁很担心。 泰德以前从来没有讲过笑话。 他也从来没有睡着过。 安德鲁嘴里的Umbubble现在变得又好又软。 安德鲁开始吹起一个清澈的蓝色泡泡。 当Umbubble有他两倍大时，安德鲁停止了吹气。 Umbubble在水面上轻轻地漂浮。

There was a little hole in the Umbubble where Andrew had been blowing. Andrew pushed himself through it. The walls of the Umbubble were thin and rubbery and a little sticky. They stretched tightly around Andrew and kept the water out, then snapped shut behind him. I'd better keep my legs in the water so I can paddle around the tub, thought Andrew. He pushed his legs back through the Umbubble.

安德鲁刚才吹的那个泡泡上有一个小洞。 安德鲁把自己逼了过去。 Umbubble的壁很薄，像橡胶一样，有点粘。 他们紧紧地围着安德鲁，不让水进来，然后在他身后啪地合上。 我最好把我的腿放在水里，这样我就可以在浴缸里划了，安德鲁想。 他把腿向后推开了。

As soon as the Umbubble sealed up tight again, Andrew started blowing on Thudd, trying to dry him off. Thudd's eyes opened. "Are you all right, Thudd?" asked Andrew. meep… "Wet! Wet! Wet, Drewd!" Thudd whimpered. "Dizzy, too." Andrew stuck Thudd to the wall of the Umbubble to dry. "Drewd seen Oody?" Thudd asked. "Not yet," said Andrew. "Did you see where she landed after she bounced off the bubble?" meep… "Oody fall near there!" said Thudd. He pointed to a mountain of bubbles between the faucet and one of Harley's towering legs. "She's so small," said Andrew. "Do you think we can see her?" meep… "Thudd use Goggle Scope!" The Goggle Scope was a clear, flat mask that let Thudd see things in different ways. It sat on top of his head when he wasn't using it.

当Umbubble再次封紧后，安德鲁开始对着Thudd吹气，想把他吹干。 砰的眼睛睁开了。“你没事吧，泰德？”安德鲁问。 meep…”湿!湿的!湿,Drewd !”Thudd呜呜咽咽哭了起来。 “头晕。”安德鲁把泰德贴在泡泡屋的墙上晾干。 “德鲁看见了乌迪？”Thudd问道。 “还没有。”安德鲁说。“呜呜……”“呜迪掉在那附近了！” 他指着水龙头和哈利一条高耸的腿之间堆积如山的气泡。 “她真小，”安德鲁说。 “你觉得我们能看到她吗？”护目镜是一种清晰、平坦的面罩，可以让泰德以不同的方式观察事物。 他不用的时候它就放在他的头顶上。

Thudd pressed the Goggle Scope button on his chest, and the Goggle Scope flipped down over his face screen. Thudd pressed another button to set the Goggle Scope to "telescope." This made faraway things look near. Andrew kicked through the choppy bathtub sea toward the bubble mountain. Blobs of soapsuds rained down as Mrs. Scuttle scrubbed Harley. Ahwoooo! Harley howled. "Down, mister!" yelled Mrs. Scuttle. Harley's paw smacked the water.

砰砰按下胸口上的“护目镜”按钮，“护目镜”翻到了他的脸屏幕上。 砰德按下另一个按钮，将眼镜的范围设置为“望远镜”。 这使得遥远的事物看起来很近。 安德鲁踢过波涛汹涌的浴盆海，朝着泡泡山走去。 斯卡托太太擦洗哈利的时候，肥皂沫像雨点一样落了下来。 Ahwoooo !哈雷嚎叫起来。“下来，先生！”斯卡特尔太太喊道。 哈利的爪子拍了拍水。

"Whoa!" Andrew yelled as a swirl of water caught the Umbubble and dragged it toward the bubble mountain. An avalanche of bubbles began to tumble down from its top! The bubble mountain collapsed, and a dark, craggy island came crashing through it!

“哇!”安德鲁大叫，一股旋涡的水流抓住了泡泡，把它拖向了泡泡山。 雪崩般的泡沫开始从顶部滚落下来！泡沫山崩塌了，一个黑暗、崎岖的岛屿从里面冲了出来！
