4 Stomach Problems

Chapter 4 STOMACH PROBLEMS The stomach started churning like a washing machine. The stomach acid was sloshing. Judy managed to reach into her pockets and pull out a Bubble Duds patch. "This isn't big enough to help," she said. Just then a stomach rumble tossed Judy into a slimy pink heap. "Ick!" she yelled. As she kicked her way out, her foot got tangled in the bunch of silver birthday balloons. She pulled them off. One of the balloons was ripped. She untied its ribbon and tossed the balloon to Andrew.

我的胃开始像洗衣机一样翻腾。 胃酸在晃动。 朱迪把手伸进口袋，掏出一个泡泡糖。 “这还不够大，帮不上忙，”她说。 就在这时，一声胃的隆隆声把朱迪扔进了一堆黏糊糊的粉红色的东西里。 “恶心！”她喊道。当她踢出去时，她的脚被一束银色的生日气球缠住了。 她把它们脱掉了。其中一个气球破了。 她解开气球上的丝带，把气球扔给安德鲁。

"Here," said Judy. "Wrap the booby in this. These balloons are bad for sea animals. Dolphins and birds and seals can choke if they swallow them. But maybe this time a balloon can help a bird. "You can use the ribbon to tie the balloon on the booby," Judy continued. "But don't let him eat it." Andrew got tossed against the wall of the stomach. It felt like it was made out of bicycle tire. He braced himself against the stomach and stuffed the booby into the torn balloon. He tied it around the bird's foot with the ribbon. As the stomach acid swirled around the stomach, the krill got mushier. Andrew, Judy, and the booby didn't! Suddenly the purple button in the middle of Thudd's chest started to blink. Andrew and Judy's Uncle Al, the man who'd invented Thudd and the Water Bug, was about to visit them by hologram. Thudd's purple button popped open and a see- through purple hologram of Uncle Al zoomed out.

“给你，”朱迪说。“用这个把咪咪包起来。 这些气球对海洋动物有害。 海豚、鸟类和海豹如果吞下它们就会窒息。 但也许这次气球可以帮助一只鸟。 “你可以用丝带把气球系在鲣鸟上，”朱迪继续说。 “但是别让他吃了。” 安德鲁被撞到胃壁上。 感觉就像自行车轮胎做的。 他撑着肚子，把饵塞进破气球里。 他用丝带把它系在鸟脚上。 当胃酸在胃里旋转时，磷虾变得更软了。 安德鲁、朱迪和那只鲣鸟没有！突然，泰德胸口中央的紫色纽扣开始闪烁。 安德鲁和朱迪的叔叔艾尔，就是那个发明了泰德和水虫的人，即将通过全息影像拜访他们。 砰的一声，泰德的紫色按钮打开了，一个看得见的紫色全息图缩了出来。

Andrew and Judy were tossing like underwear in the wash. Uncle Al's smiling face seemed to bounce all over the purplish stomach. "Hey there, guys!" said Uncle Al. "Hi, Uncle Al!" said Andrew and Judy. "Hiya, Unkie!" said Thudd. "I've been having a hard time reaching you," said Uncle Al. "You sound a little, um, blubbery." With his hologram, Uncle Al could hear them but couldn't see them. "That's because we're inside a whale's stomach!" said Judy, sloshing back and forth. meep… "Blue whale!" said Thudd. Uncle Al's fuzzy eyebrows poked up toward his shaggy hair. "Queen Isabella on a jelly doughnut!" he said. "You're inside the biggest animal that ever lived! I hope you're wearing the Bubble Duds."

安德鲁和朱迪像洗过的内衣一样翻来覆去。 艾尔叔叔的笑脸似乎在紫色的肚子上跳来跳去。 “嘿，伙计们！”阿尔叔叔说。 “嗨，阿尔叔叔！”安德鲁和朱迪说。 “你好，昂基！” “我一直很难找到你，”阿尔叔叔说。 “你听起来有点，嗯，哭鼻子。” 有了他的全息图，阿尔叔叔可以听到他们，但看不到他们。 “那是因为我们在鲸鱼的胃里！”朱迪边说边晃来晃去。 “蓝鲸！” 艾尔叔叔毛茸茸的眉毛向上翘起，伸向他那蓬乱的头发。 “伊莎贝拉女王吃果冻甜甜圈！”他说。 “你在有史以来最大的动物体内！”我希望你穿的是泡泡衣。”

"We've got the Bubble Duds on," said Andrew. "They're really comfortable!" "That's good," said Uncle Al. "Stomach acid can dissolve almost anything eventually. Even metal!

“我们穿上了泡泡衣。”安德鲁说。 “它们真的很舒服！”“那很好，”阿尔叔叔说。 “胃酸最终几乎可以溶解任何东西。 甚至金属!

"The Bubble Duds will protect you, but only for two hours. Then they could start to, uh, come apart." "Cheese Louise!" said Judy. "How do we get out of here? Could we get the whale to throw up or something?" "Which stomach are you in?" asked Uncle Al. "The second one," said Andrew. "Hmm," said Uncle Al. "The whale can't throw you up from the second stomach. It looks like you'll have to take the long way out. You've got one more stomach to go—" "Oh, brother!" Judy interrupted. "Another stupid stomach." Uncle Al smiled. "You know that cows have four stomachs," he said. "So what?" said Judy. "Well," said Uncle Al, "whales are related to cows and some other animals with hooves. Fifty million years ago, the ancestors of whales lived on land. They looked kind of like hairy crocodiles and they had little hooves on their toes!"

“泡泡衣会保护你，但只能保护两个小时。 然后它们就会开始，呃，分开。” “奶酪露易丝！”朱迪说。 “我们怎么离开这里？” 我们能不能让鲸鱼吐出来什么的？”“你在哪个胃里？”阿尔叔叔问。 “第二个。”安德鲁说。 “嗯，”阿尔叔叔说。“鲸鱼不能把你从第二个胃里扔出来。 看来你得绕道而行了。 你还有一个肚子要去——”“啊，兄弟！”朱迪打断。 “又一个愚蠢的胃。”艾尔叔叔笑了。 “你知道牛有四个胃，”他说。 “那又怎样？”朱迪说。“嗯，”阿尔叔叔说，“鲸鱼与牛和其他一些有蹄的动物有亲缘关系。 五千万年前，鲸鱼的祖先生活在陆地上。 它们看起来有点像毛茸茸的鳄鱼，脚趾上有小蹄子！”

"Bizarre-o!" said Judy. "Yup," said Uncle Al. "But let's get back to the most important thing—getting you home safely. Where's the Water Bug?" "It's under the whale's tongue," said Andrew. "Ah!" said Uncle Al. "Then the Water Bug must be caught in the whale's gigantic mouth pouch!" Judy mashed her fist into a little island of krill floating in the soupy mess. "Tough tomatoes!" she said. "Does that mean we'll have to go back into the whale's mouth?" "I'm afraid so," said Uncle Al. "And when you get back to the Water Bug, set the destination dial for Hawai'i and come back immediately." Andrew and Judy looked at each other. Their whale of a problem had started in Hawai'i. That's where Andrew had accidentally set the Water Bug on a search to find a giant squid. But the giant squids were in danger from a bad guy named Soggy Bob Sloggins. He wanted to capture some for his theme park!

“真奇怪！”朱迪说。“是的，”阿尔叔叔说。 “但让我们回到最重要的事情上——把你安全送回家。 水虫在哪儿？”“在鲸鱼的舌头下面。”安德鲁说。 “啊！”阿尔叔叔说。“那么水虫一定是被鲸巨大的嘴囊夹住了！”朱迪用拳头捏碎了漂浮在浑浊水中的一小块磷虾。 “西红柿很硬！”她说。 “这是不是说我们还得回到鲸嘴里去呢？”“恐怕是这样，”阿尔叔叔说。 “当你回到水虫时，把目的地拨到夏威夷，然后马上回来。” 安德鲁和朱迪面面相觑。 他们的大麻烦是从夏威夷开始的。 这就是安德鲁不小心让水虫去寻找巨型乌贼的地方。 但是这些巨型乌贼正处于危险之中，因为有一个叫索基·鲍勃·斯洛金斯的坏蛋。 他想为他的主题公园捕捉一些！
