4 Skeleton Crew

chapter 4 SKELETON CREW The huge mound loomed high above them. It was brown and covered with deep, dark caves and shaggy ridges. And it was headed straight for the Umbubble! "It looks like an asteroid!" said Andrew as he paddled quickly away from it. meep… "Sponge!" said Thudd. "Jeepers creepers!" said Andrew. "It doesn't look like a sponge. The ones we use to wash the dishes are all bright colors and shaped like rectangles!" meep… "Drewd use fake sponges," said Thudd. "Fake sponges made in factory. Real sponge here.

第4章骷髅队巨大的土丘在他们的头顶上若隐若现。 它是棕色的，上面覆盖着又深又黑的洞穴和毛茸茸的山脊。 它径直朝Umbubble飞去了！“它看起来像一颗小行星！”安德鲁一边说，一边迅速地划开了它。 “海绵！” “该死的爬虫！”安德鲁说。 “它看起来不像海绵。 我们用来洗碗的海绵都是颜色鲜艳的，形状像矩形！”“德鲁德用的是假海绵。” “工厂生产的假海绵。 真正的海绵。

Real sponge is skeleton of sponge animal that live in sea. Look!" The sponge was getting closer. "That's a real weird skeleton," said Andrew as he paddled faster. "I thought skeletons had to be hard." meep… "Sponge animal got squishy skeleton," said Thudd. Andrew looked into the sponge's dark, spooky caves. "What are all those holes?" he asked. meep… "Sponge animal not got mouth," said Thudd. "Sponge animal suck water through holes. Eat little stuff that float in water."

真正的海绵是生活在海洋中的海绵动物的骨架。 看!”海绵越来越近了。 “这真是一具奇怪的骨架。”安德鲁一边说一边加快了速度。 “我以为骷髅一定很硬。” “海绵动物有黏糊糊的骨架。” 安德鲁看着海绵里黑暗、阴森的洞穴。 “那些洞是什么？”他问。 “海绵动物没有嘴。” “海绵动物从洞里吸水。 吃漂浮在水里的小东西。”

Sccreeeek! Andrew looked up. Mrs. Scuttle was turning the knob on the faucet. Niagara Falls turned into a trickle and stopped! meep… "Drewd!" Thudd cried. He pointed toward the top of the sponge. "Look! Oody!" Andrew strained his eyes. "I guess she's too small for me to see without the Goggle Scope," he said. Thudd pressed another button on his chest. A beam of light popped out of a little hole at the top of Thudd's head. At the end of the beam, Andrew saw a picture of Judy standing near the top of the sponge. It was like watching television! Judy had taken off her blue denim jacket. She was waving it frantically. Then something crept up behind Judy. At first all they could see was a shiny black head and long antennas. Its jaws looked like an enormous lobster claw!

Sccreeeek !安德鲁抬起头来。 斯卡特尔太太正在拧水龙头上的旋钮。 尼亚加拉大瀑布变成了涓涓细流，停止了！meep…“Drewd !”Thudd哭了。 他指着海绵的顶部。 “看!Oody !”安德鲁睁大眼睛。 “我想她太小了，我不戴眼镜看不见她，”他说。 砰砰又按了一下胸口的按钮。 一束光从泰德头顶的一个小洞里射了出来。 在横梁的末端，安德鲁看到了一张朱迪站在海绵顶部附近的照片。 就像看电视一样！朱迪脱下了她的蓝色牛仔夹克。 她疯狂地挥舞着它。 然后有什么东西从朱迪身后爬了上来。 起初，他们只能看到一个闪亮的黑脑袋和长长的触角。 它的下颚看起来像一只巨大的龙虾爪子！

"An ant!" yelled Andrew. His eyes widened. "Oh no! It's coming toward Judy!" The ant tapped its antennas on the sponge behind Judy. But Judy didn't seem to see it. meep… "Scout ant," said Thudd. "Use antennas to find food and water. Eyes not see much." "Let's hope it can't see Judy!" said Andrew. meep… "Smell and taste stuff with antennas. Then scout make smell trail for other ants to

“一只蚂蚁！”安德鲁喊道。他睁大了眼睛。 “哦,不!它朝朱迪过来了！”蚂蚁用触角轻拍朱迪身后的海绵。 但朱迪似乎没有看到。 “侦察兵蚂蚁。” “用触角寻找食物和水。 眼睛什么也看不见。”“希望它看不到朱迪！”安德鲁说。 用触角闻、尝东西。 然后为其他蚂蚁留下气味痕迹

follow." The ant stopped tapping the sponge. It was suddenly very still. Andrew held his breath. Then the ant raised its antennas high. Andrew and Thudd watched in horror as the ant tapped Judy on the head with an antenna! Judy turned. Andrew was too far away to hear her scream, but he could see the scream on her face! Her feet scrambled! It looked like she slipped! Then she cartwheeled off the sponge and disappeared into a cloud of steam!

跟进。”蚂蚁不再轻敲海绵。 突然间，一切都安静下来了。 安德鲁屏住了呼吸。然后蚂蚁把它的触角高高举起。 安德鲁和泰德惊恐地看着蚂蚁用一根天线轻拍朱迪的头！朱迪。 安德鲁离得太远，听不到她的尖叫，但他能看到她脸上的尖叫！她的脚乱了！看起来她滑倒了！然后她从海绵上翻了个身，消失在一团蒸汽中！
