10 SCHLOOOOOOORP!

Chapter 10 SCHLOOOOOOORP! Andrew reached into his pocket and pulled out the bottle of Bug-Goo. He took the top off the bottle, leaned out of the helicopter window, and squeezed. Glug, glug, glug! Gloppy green drops of Bug-Goo dripped down onto the red switch. "Better fly higher!" yelled Andrew. Down below, rivers of insects began streaming into Judy's yard. Cicadas and ants and termites and beetles! A cloud of flying bugs swirled around the Atom Sucker! Fleas and flies! Lightning bugs and ladybugs! Mosquitoes and moths and mantises!

第十章嘘！安德鲁把手伸进口袋，掏出那瓶虫胶。 他打开瓶盖，探出直升机窗口，挤了几口。 咕咕，咕咕，咕咕！粘稠的绿色虫胶滴到红色的开关上。 “最好飞得更高！”安德鲁喊道。 下面，成群的昆虫开始涌入朱迪的院子。 蝉、蚂蚁、白蚁和甲虫！一团飞虫在原子吸盘周围旋转！跳蚤和苍蝇！闪电虫和瓢虫！蚊子、飞蛾和螳螂！

Soon bugs were piled a foot high on the red switch! And still more piled on! Andrew smiled as he watched. "The weight of all of those bugs should push the switch down to the UN-SHRINK setting!" he said. Suddenly the Atom Sucker stopped jostling and jolting. It was completely still.

很快，红色的开关上就堆了一英尺高的虫子！还有更多的人在堆积！安德鲁笑着看着。 他说：“所有这些bug的重量应该会把开关推到unshrink设置！” 突然，原子吸盘停止了碰撞和颠簸。 四周一片寂静。

Then, under the blanket of bugs, it looked like the tubes were beginning to twirl slowly in the opposite direction. They picked up speed! They zinged around so fast, the bugs got thrown off! The big iron pipe in the front wagged just as it did when they got shrunk! "I think it's ready to un-shrink us," said Andrew. "Let's fly to the front of the big pipe." Judy rolled her eyes. "I think it's ready to shrink us even more," she said. "We should just wait for Uncle Al to come get us." Before Andrew could say anything, a big bug foot slammed into the helicopter's windshield. "Hold on!" screamed Judy. "We're going to crash!" The helicopter tumbled through the bug-filled air. SCHLOOOOOOORP! Suddenly Andrew felt as though he were being tickled by monkeys and squashed into a suitcase.

然后，在虫子的毯子下，看起来管子开始向相反的方向缓慢旋转。 他们加快了速度！他们飞得太快了，虫子都被甩了！前面的大铁管晃动着，就像它们缩水时一样！“我想它已经准备好让我们不再退缩了，”安德鲁说。 “让我们飞到大管子的前面。” 朱迪翻了个白眼。她说：“我认为它准备进一步缩小我们的规模。” “我们应该等着艾尔叔叔来接我们。” 安德鲁还没来得及说话，一只大虫子的脚就撞到了直升机的挡风玻璃上。 “坚持住！”朱迪尖叫道。“我们要坠毁了！”直升机在满是虫子的空中翻滚。 SCHLOOOOOOORP !突然，安德鲁觉得自己好像被猴子挠痒痒，被挤进了一个手提箱。

There's something awful happening in my pants! thought Andrew. His legs felt prickly and tickly—and so did everything else! Andrew opened his eyes. Bugs were crawling all over him! Ants and cicadas were marching up his seat belt. A praying mantis was perched on his knee. They were all normal bug size! And Andrew was back to normal boy size! Andrew smiled such a big smile, it felt as though his lips stretched all the way around his head. "This sounds stupid," said Judy. She was shaking bugs off of her jacket and scooping bugs out of her socks. "But it's great to be big enough to have bugs crawling on me!" "Yoop! Yoop! Yoop!" said Thudd from Andrew's shirt pocket. Through the bug-covered windshield of the helicopter, they saw they were in front of the Atom Sucker. The Atom Sucker and the helicopter were just where they were before they got shrunk.

我裤子里有可怕的东西！认为安德鲁。 他的腿又刺又痒——其他地方也一样！安德鲁睁开眼睛。 虫子在他身上爬来爬去！蚂蚁和蝉爬上了他的安全带。 一只螳螂栖息在他的膝盖上。 它们都是正常大小的虫子！安德鲁恢复了正常男孩的身材！安德鲁笑得那么灿烂，好像他的嘴唇一直围绕着他的头。 “这听起来很愚蠢，”朱迪说。 她在抖外套上的虫子，从袜子里捞虫子。 “但是大到可以让虫子爬在我身上真是太棒了！”“Yoop !Yoop !呜！”泰德从安德鲁的衬衫口袋里说。 透过布满虫子的直升机挡风玻璃，他们看到自己就在“吸盘原子机”前面。 原子吸盘和直升机在缩小之前还在原地。

Judy turned off the helicopter engine. She and Andrew unbuckled their seat belts and stepped out into Judy's yard. The Atom Sucker was quiet. "Wowzers!" said Andrew. "Someone must have switched off the Atom Sucker!" "Christopher Columbus on a buttered bagel!" came a familiar voice. Uncle Al was making a path through the bugs. "I am so happy to see you guys!" said Uncle Al, wrapping his arms around them. "And don't worry about the Atom Sucker. I unplugged it!" Woof! Harley bounded over to Judy. She gave him a big hug and kissed him on his wet black nose. Mrs. Scuttle was right behind Harley. "Oh, Professor Dubble!" said Mrs. Scuttle. She was blushing. Beetles were hanging from her hair. Termites were creeping out of her dress. Cicadas were crawling over her sandals and up her legs.

朱迪关掉了直升机的引擎。 她和安德鲁解开安全带，走到朱迪的院子里。 吸盘很安静。 “哇！”安德鲁说。“一定是有人把原子吸盘关掉了！”“克里斯多夫·哥伦布在黄油百吉饼上！”一个熟悉的声音传来。 艾尔叔叔在虫子堆里挖了一条路。 “见到你们我太高兴了！”艾尔叔叔说着，用胳膊搂住了他们。 “别担心原子吸盘。 我把它拔掉了！”汪!哈利向朱迪跳过去。 她给了他一个大大的拥抱，在他湿漉漉的黑鼻子上亲了一下。 斯卡托太太就在哈利后面。 “啊，达布尔教授！”斯卡特尔太太说。 她脸红了。她的头发上挂着甲虫。 白蚁正从她的衣服里爬出来。 蝉爬上她的凉鞋，爬上她的腿。

"My party is a total disaster. But it's worth it to have a visit from such a famous person! I saw you on television! You were explaining how dolphins started out as cow-like creatures millions of years ago! Who could believe it?" "Ah, Mrs. Scuttle," said Uncle Al, "Andrew and Judy have even more amazing things to tell. But right now they look very hungry. Pizza, anyone?" "Yes!" said Andrew and Judy together. meep… "Look for water bear?" said Thudd. "Thudd!" said Uncle Al. "You found a water bear?" "Yoop!" said Thudd. "Amazing!" said Uncle Al. "It's getting dark now, but we'll come back tomorrow, if that's all right with you, Mrs. Scuttle." "Oh, please do, Professor Dubble!" said Mrs. Scuttle. She blushed even more. A firefly flew out of her ear. Uncle Al led the way out of Judy's backyard. "By the way, guys," he said, "I've been working on this new gizmo, the Water Bug. It's for deep

“我的党是一个彻底的灾难。 但能有这样一位名人来访，还是值得的！我在电视上看到你了！你在解释几百万年前海豚是如何变成奶牛一样的生物的！谁能相信呢？”“啊，斯卡特尔太太，”阿尔叔叔说，“安德鲁和朱迪还有更神奇的事情要讲。 但是现在他们看起来很饿。 披萨,有人知道吗?”“是的！”安德鲁和朱迪一起说。 “找水熊？” “砰！”阿尔叔叔说。“你找到一只水熊了？”“哇！” “太神奇了！”阿尔叔叔说。“现在天快黑了，不过，如果您同意的话，我们明天再来，斯卡特尔太太。” “哦，请讲吧，达布尔教授！”斯卡特尔太太说。 她脸红得更厉害了。一只萤火虫从她耳朵里飞了出来。 阿尔叔叔带路走出朱迪家的后院。 “顺便说一下，伙计们，”他说，“我一直在研究这个新玩意儿，水虫。 它代表深度
