3 Pipe Down!

Chapter 3 PIPE DOWN! "Yeuuuw!" said Judy. "It's so squishy out there. I haven't done anything this disgusting since I ate a fried cricket in Australia." "Don't think about it," said Andrew. They grabbed on to the hair and began to pull the Umbubble down into the goop. Mushy shapes moved like ghosts in the darkness outside the Umbubble. "Andrew, look!" said Judy, pointing. "It's one of your initials!" A white letter A was floating by outside.

第三章安静点！“是啊！”朱迪说。 “外面太软了。 自从我在澳大利亚吃了炸蟋蟀后，我还没有做过这么恶心的事情。” “别想了，”安德鲁说。 他们抓住头发，开始把Umbubble往下拉。 一团团糊状的东西像幽灵一样在黑暗中移动。 “安德鲁，看！”朱迪指着说。 “这是你名字的首字母！”外面漂浮着一个白色字母A。

"And there's a B!" she continued. "I guess Mrs. Scuttle likes alphabet soup," said Andrew. Then an enormous green flower the size of a dump truck floated up through the letters. "Bizarre-o!" said Judy. meep… "Broccoli flower!" said Thudd, awake again. Suddenly the beam from the flashlight caught a sparkle of color outside. It flashed red and yellow and blue and white. "Wowzers!" said Andrew. Judy leaned over to see. "It looks like part of a rainbow!" she said.

“还有一个B!”她接着说。 “我猜斯卡特尔太太喜欢字母汤，”安德鲁说。 接着，一朵巨大的绿色花朵从字母间飘了出来，有一辆自卸卡车那么大。 “真奇怪！”朱迪说。“花椰菜！”泰德说，又醒了。 突然，手电筒的光束在外面照出一道闪光。 它闪着红色、黄色、蓝色和白色的光。 “哇！”安德鲁说。朱迪俯下身去看。 “它看起来像彩虹的一部分！”她说。

Thudd pressed the "What's It?" button on his chest, and a thin red ray shot out at the twinkling thing. The "What's It?" ray told Thudd what things were made of. meep… "Diamond!" said Thudd. "Diamond made of stuff inside pencils!" "It sure doesn't look like pencil lead," said Andrew. meep… "Diamond come from deep inside Earth," said Thudd. "Hot, hot, hot! Pencil stuff get squished into diamond!" Andrew looked at Judy. "Maybe Mrs. Scuttle is always grumpy because she lost her diamond ring." Judy shook her head. "Mrs. Scuttle would be grumpy if she had a diamond as big as a barn." They dragged the Umbubble past the diamond. The underwater world was quiet and spooky. There was no way to tell where they were, or if the hair would lead them all the way through the trap.

砰砰按了一下胸前的“这是什么？”按钮，一道细细的红色光线射向这个闪烁的东西。 “这是什么？”雷告诉泰德东西是由什么组成的。 “钻石！” “钻石是用铅笔里的东西做成的！”“它看起来一点也不像铅笔芯，”安德鲁说。 “钻石来自地球深处，”萨德说。 “烫，烫，烫！”铅笔的东西会被压成钻石！”安德鲁看着朱迪。 “也许斯卡托太太总是脾气暴躁，因为她丢了钻戒。” 朱迪摇了摇头。“夫人。 如果斯卡托有一颗像谷仓一样大的钻石，她会大发雷霆的。” 他们把泡泡拖过钻石。 海底世界安静而阴森。 没有办法知道他们在哪里，也没有办法知道头发是否会引导他们穿过陷阱。

Andrew squinted. It seemed that the icky blackness all around them was turning into yucky grayness. "Wowzers!" said Andrew. "It's getting lighter!" Judy pushed her face close to the wall of the Umbubble. "I think we're getting close to the top of the trap!" she said. Andrew and Judy pulled the Umbubble along the hair faster. At last the Umbubble popped to the top of the water. "Yay!" cheered Andrew. "Yeep!" squeaked Thudd. "We did it!" said Judy. The Umbubble was covered with slimy, seaweedy gunk from the trap. But there were a few places where they could see out. Andrew pointed at a circle of light above the Umbubble. "It's the kitchen drain!" he said. "Now the problem is to get there," said Judy. "Help me pull the Umbubble a little further up."

安德鲁眯起了双眼。似乎他们周围令人作呕的黑暗变成了令人作呕的灰色。 “哇！”安德鲁说。“天越来越轻了！”朱迪把脸贴在泡泡屋的墙上。 “我想我们已经接近陷阱的顶端了！”她说。 安德鲁和朱迪沿着头发更快地拉着Umbubble。 最后，Umbubble浮出水面。 “耶！”安德鲁欢呼道。“耶！”泰德尖声说。 “我们成功了！”朱迪说。Umbubble上覆盖着捕集器上黏糊糊的海藻黏液。 但是有几个地方他们可以看到外面。 安德鲁指着Umbubble上方的一圈光。 “是厨房的下水道！”他说。 “现在的问题是如何到达那里，”朱迪说。 “帮我把Umbubble再往上拉一点。”

Once they were off the water, Judy and Andrew pulled their arms back into the Umbubble. Andrew wiped his slimy hands on his pants. "Super gross!" he said. "We've won the lottery of grossness," said Judy. Judy got out her pen tube again and pushed it through the bottom of the Umbubble. She looked at Andrew. "Okay, Disaster Master," she said, "it's your turn to blow the Umbubble." "Sure," said Andrew. He started to blow. They floated up. Thwunk! The Umbubble had bumped into something. "It's probably the side of the pipe," said Judy. Andrew puffed and puffed, but he couldn't make the Umbubble move. "We're stuck again!" said Judy. Andrew stopped puffing. The Umbubble started moving. But it wasn't floating. It was sort of…

他们一离开水面，朱迪和安德鲁就把胳膊缩回了泡泡里。 安德鲁在裤子上擦了擦黏糊糊的手。 “超级恶心！”他说。“我们中了粗鄙的彩票，”朱迪说。 朱迪又拿出了她的笔管，把它插进了Umbubble的底部。 她看着安德鲁。“好了，灾难大师，”她说，“轮到你吹Umbubble了。” “当然可以。”安德鲁说。他开始吹气。 他们浮了起来。Thwunk !Umbubble撞到了什么东西。 “可能是管子的一边，”朱迪说。 安德鲁吹了又吹，但他无法让泡泡动起来。 “我们又被卡住了！”朱迪说。 安德鲁停止了喘气。Umbubble开始移动。 但它不是漂浮的。这有点……

scampering! Judy and Andrew tried to find clear spots on the Umbubble wall to see what was going on. "I see a hairy tree branch," said Judy. "I see a wall of shiny tiles," said Andrew. Suddenly Thudd's antennas started twitching. Thudd used his antennas to hear. He also used them to smell with. Something was making them wiggle!

扫地!朱迪和安德鲁试图在Umbubble的墙上找到清晰的地方看看发生了什么。 “我看到一根毛茸茸的树枝，”朱迪说。 “我看到一堵闪亮的瓷砖墙，”安德鲁说。 突然，泰德的天线开始抽动。 砰砰用他的天线来听。 他还用它们来闻。 有什么东西在让他们扭动！
