10 Who’s Hunting Who

Chapter 10 WHO's HUNTING WHO? Lightning had struck the Water Bug! CRRRRAAAACKKKKK! came the thunder. When Andrew opened his eyes, the Water Bug was sliding down to the bottom of a wave. Judy's face was white as the moon. Her hair was standing out from her head like a frizzy clown wig. Her mouth was open and a piece of mozzarella cheese hung over her lip. "Smokey the Bear!" she said. "We were almost toast!" meep… "Water Bug protect Drewd and Oody from lightning," said Thudd. "Electricity go through metal, not through Drewd and Oody!"

第十章谁在追捕谁？ 闪电击中了水虫！CRRRRAAAACKKKKK !雷声来了。 当安德鲁睁开眼睛时，水虫正滑向波浪的底部。 朱迪的脸像月亮一样白。 她的头发从头上突出来，像一顶卷曲的小丑假发。 她张着嘴，嘴唇上挂着一块马苏里拉奶酪。 “熊斯莫基！”她说。 “水虫保护德鲁和伍迪不受闪电的伤害。” “电穿过金属，而不是穿过德鲁和伍迪！”

Andrew checked the Water Bug. The paint on the hood had bubbled up in a few places. It looked like the Water Bug had pimples. But everything else seemed okay. "Let's get out of here!" said Judy. "NOW!" Andrew pushed the steering wheel down. The Water Bug dipped under the waves. "We'll hang out below until the storm passes," said Andrew. "Maybe we'll even find a quiet place on the ocean floor to get the lava boogers out." Down and down they went through the dark green water. Strands of brown seaweed swirled by the windows. As Andrew steered the Water Bug deeper and deeper, it got darker and darker. Andrew turned on the headlights. "Look at all that weird white stuff in the lights!" said Judy. "It's like we're in a snow globe!" meep… "Sea snow," said Thudd. "Tiny animals, pieces of dead stuff, pieces of poop fall to bottom of ocean. Little fish eat sea snow." "Gross!" said Judy.

安德鲁检查了水虫。 引擎盖上的油漆有几处起泡了。 看起来水虫长了粉刺。 但其他一切似乎都还好。 “我们离开这里吧！”朱迪说。 “现在!”安德鲁按下方向盘。 水虫潜到波浪下。 “我们在下面呆着，直到暴风雨过去。”安德鲁说。 “也许我们甚至可以在海底找到一个安静的地方，把熔岩鼻屎弄出来。” 他们在深绿色的水中不断地下沉。 一缕缕褐色海藻在窗户边打转。 安德鲁驾驶着水虫越驶越深，水面也越来越黑。 安德鲁打开车头灯。 “看灯光下那些奇怪的白色东西！”朱迪说。 “我们就像在一个雪花玻璃球里！” “小动物、死去的东西、粪便碎片落入海底。 小鱼吃海雪。” “恶心！”朱迪说。

At the end of the beam of the headlights, Andrew glimpsed a tall, dark shape. "Wowzers!" he said. "Could that be an underwater skyscraper?" "There's no sky to scrape down here, Bug- Brain!" said Judy. As the Water Bug got closer, they could see the thing was a big tangle of pipes and pillars. It rose up through the water as far as they could see. meep… "Oil rig!" said Thudd. "Bring oil from deep, deep hole under ocean. Oil happen when dead stuff get buried under lotsa rock. Millions, millions of years, dead stuff turn into oil! Burn oil to heat house. Gasoline made from oil."

在前灯光束的尽头，安德鲁瞥见了一个高大的黑影。 “哇！”他说。“那可能是一座水下摩天大楼吗？”“这里没有天空可以刮，虫脑！”朱迪说。 当水虫走近时，他们看到那是一大堆管子和柱子。 它从水中升起，一直延伸到他们所能看到的地方。 “石油钻塔！” “从海洋深处的深洞中开采石油。 当死去的东西被埋在许多岩石下时，就会产生石油。 数百万年，死去的东西变成了石油！烧油给房子加热。 汽油是由石油制成的。”

"You mean we fill our gas tanks with things that lived millions of years ago?" said Judy. "Yoop! Yoop! Yoop!" said Thudd. "Weird!" said Judy. "Everything gets recycled!" Andrew dove to find where the pipes sank into the ocean floor. Judy pointed to a dome tucked close to the pipes. "What's that?" she asked. Andrew slowly drove closer. In front of the dome was a sign in big black letters: Soggy Bob's Oil Rig and Private Clubhouse KEEP OUT! "I don't believe it!" said Judy. "In the whole monster ocean, we keep running into Soggy Bob!" Inside the dome, Andrew and Judy could see the Crab-Mobile—and Soggy Bob! He was tugging

“你是说我们往油箱里装几百万年前的东西？”朱迪说。 “Yoop !Yoop !呜！” “真奇怪！”朱迪说。“所有东西都被回收了！”安德鲁潜入海底寻找管道沉入海底的地方。 朱迪指着靠近管道的一个圆顶。 “那是什么？”她问。安德鲁慢慢地把车开近了。 在圆顶的前面有一个黑色的大字：“潮湿的鲍勃石油钻井平台和私人会所，请勿进入！”“我不相信！”朱迪说。 “在整个怪物海洋里，我们总是碰到‘湿鲍勃’！”在圆顶里面，安德鲁和朱迪可以看到螃蟹移动和湿鲍勃！他在拉

tangled ropes off the Crab-Mobile's claws. Burpp pulled at the ropes with his beak. Soggy Bob turned when he saw the Water Bug's lights. He stomped up to the glass door and shook his fist. His thin eyebrows rose high on his bald head and his lips were moving fast. Andrew and Judy couldn't hear what he was saying, but they could tell it wasn't nice. "Let's get out of here before he fixes that thing!" said Judy. Andrew nodded. He pulled the steering wheel up and slammed the gas pedal to the floor. The Water Bug zoomed into the inky water.

移动蟹爪上缠结的绳子 伯普用嘴拉绳子。 湿漉漉的鲍勃看到水虫的灯时转过身来。 他跺着脚走到玻璃门前，挥舞着拳头。 他的细眉毛在秃顶上高高扬起，嘴唇翕动得很快。 安德鲁和朱迪听不见他在说什么，但他们能感觉到他说的不好听。 “我们在他修好那东西之前离开这里吧！”朱迪说。 安德鲁点点头。他拉起方向盘，猛踩油门。 水虫嗖地飞进了漆黑的水中。
