1 Toilet Bowling

Chapter 1 TOILET BOWLING When you wake up in the morning, thought Andrew, you never think about getting flushed down the toilet! At 12:01 that afternoon, Andrew had accidentally shrunk himself, his older cousin Judy, and his robot pal, Thudd. They were smaller than the point of a pin! Now they were huddled inside one of Andrew's inventions, the round, rubbery Umbubble. The Umbubble was whirling round and round a toilet bowl. Judy's neighbor Mrs. Scuttle had just

第一章厕所保龄球当你早上醒来的时候，安德鲁想，你从来没有想过被冲进马桶里！那天下午12点01分，安德鲁不小心把自己、他的表妹朱迪和他的机器人朋友泰德缩小了。 它们比大头针还小！现在他们挤在安德鲁发明的一个东西——圆形的橡胶泡泡里。 Umbubble围着一个抽水马桶不停地旋转。 朱迪的邻居斯卡托太太刚刚

flushed it—along with a pile of poop from her dog, Harley. "Cheese Louise!" said Judy. "It's like we're at the top of a water tornado!" meep… The sound came from the little silver robot that Andrew held tight in his hand. It was Thudd. "Why do elephants got trunks?" Thudd asked. "Cuz they don't got pockets to put stuff in! Hee hee!" Andrew looked at Judy. He was worried. Thudd had gotten wet in the bathtub. Now he was telling silly jokes. The Umbubble picked up speed as it was pulled to the middle of the twisting water. Down, down, down they rushed! The light above them faded away meep… "'Fraid of dark!" said Thudd. GLOOOGGHH! The toilet roared. Judy leaned very close to Andrew. "If this thing springs a leak," she said, "I'm using your head to

把它连同她的狗哈利的一堆便便一起冲了出去。 “奶酪露易丝！”朱迪说。 “就像我们站在水龙卷风的顶端一样！”这声音来自安德鲁紧紧握在手里的银色小机器人。 是砰。“大象为什么长鼻子？”Thudd问道。 “因为他们没有装东西的口袋！”嘻嘻!”安德鲁看着朱迪。 他很担心。泰德在浴缸里淋湿了。 现在他在讲一些愚蠢的笑话。 当Umbubble被拉到扭曲的水中间时，它的速度加快了。 往下，往下，往下冲！“怕黑！”泰德说。 GLOOOGGHH !马桶轰鸣着。 朱迪靠得离安德鲁很近。 “如果这东西漏了，”她说，“我就用你的脑袋。

plug it!" The Umbubble slammed to a stop. "Yerggh!" said Andrew. "Oof!" said Judy. "Eek!" said Thudd. "We're stuck on something," said Andrew. The roar of the water outside got softer and then stopped. "I think all the water flushed," said Andrew.

把它插!”Umbubble砰的一声停了下来。 “耶！”安德鲁说。“呜！”朱迪说。 “呸！”“我们被什么东西卡住了。”安德鲁说。 外面的水声变得柔和了，然后停了下来。 “我想所有的水都冲了。”安德鲁说。

Suddenly a light blinked in the darkness. It was the big purple button in the middle of Thudd's chest! Snap! The purple button popped open. A beam of light shot out. At the end of the beam floated a clear purple hologram of Andrew and Judy's Uncle Al. "You're back!" said Andrew. "Hey there!" said Uncle Al, smiling. Andrew and Judy had talked to Uncle Al earlier that day. They were hoping he could help them somehow. But Andrew could tell his uncle was worried. His bushy eyebrows were scrunched together.

突然，黑暗中有一盏灯闪烁起来。 那是泰德胸口中央的紫色大扣子！中计了!紫色的按钮弹开了。 一束光射了出来。在光束的末端漂浮着一个清晰的紫色全息图，是安德鲁和朱迪的叔叔艾尔。 “你回来了！”安德鲁说。 “嘿，你们好！”艾尔叔叔笑着说。 安德鲁和朱迪那天早些时候和艾尔叔叔谈过。 他们希望他能以某种方式帮助他们。 但安德鲁看得出他舅舅很担心。 他浓密的眉毛皱在一起。

"It's 5:15," Uncle Al said. "My plane is over Canada. I'm trying to get to you before 8:01, before the Atom Sucker—er—blows up. Where are you guys now?" "We got flushed down the toilet," explained Judy. "Now we're stuck somewhere in the drainpipe." "Good golly, Miss Molly!" said Uncle Al. meep… "What is biggest ant on Earth?" Thudd interrupted. "Eleph-ant! Hee hee!" "Uh-oh," said Uncle Al. "Thudd is telling elephant jokes. That means his thought chips are dangerously soggy! You've got to get him dry.

“现在是5点15分，”阿尔叔叔说。 “我的飞机在加拿大上空。我想在8点01分之前找到你，在原子吸盘爆炸之前。 你们现在在哪里？”“我们被冲进了厕所，”朱迪解释说。 “现在我们被卡在排水管里了。” “天哪，莫莉小姐！”艾尔叔叔说。 “地球上最大的蚂蚁是什么？”Thudd中断。 “Eleph-ant !嘻嘻!”“哦哦，”阿尔叔叔说。 “泰德在讲大象的笑话。 这意味着他的思维芯片湿透了！你得把他弄干。

And he needs to be rubbed with butter so he doesn't get rusty." Judy frowned. "I know you can't see us when you're a hologram, Uncle Al. But we've got a big shortage of dryness and butter down here in the toilet!" Uncle Al nodded, "What you need is a kitchen," he said. "The pipes that leave the toilet and the tubs and the sinks all connect to one big drainpipe." meep… "Look!" said Thudd. His face screen lit up with a picture of the plumbing in Mrs. Scuttle's house.

他需要用黄油擦，这样他才不会生锈。” 朱迪皱起了眉头。“我知道你变成全息图时看不到我们，艾尔叔叔。 但是我们这里的厕所里非常缺乏干货和黄油！”艾尔叔叔点点头，“你需要的是一个厨房，”他说。 “从马桶、浴缸和水槽流出的管道都连接到一条大排水管上。” “看！” 他的屏幕上亮起了一张斯卡托太太家水管的照片。
