9 Zap!

Chapter 9 ZAP! meep… "Flying fish!" said Thudd. Andrew gently picked up the flapping fish and slipped it out the window. "Look at these weird things," he said. The Water Bug was surrounded by transparent blue lumps the size of basketballs. "Looks like a bunch of weird party balloons," said Judy. "Noop! Noop! Noop!" said Thudd. "Jellyfish! Poison jellyfish. Called man-of-war. Got stinging tentacles! Hundred feet long! Big sting! Jellyfish not just one animal. Made up of lotsa little ones. Jellyfish like neighborhood. Some neighbors sting

第9章轰！“飞鱼！” 安德鲁轻轻地拿起那条拍打着翅膀的鱼，把它滑出了窗户。 “看看这些奇怪的东西，”他说。 水虫被篮球大小的透明蓝色团块包围着。 “看起来像一堆奇怪的聚会气球，”朱迪说。 “等待!等待!不！” “水母!毒药水母。 叫军舰。有带刺的触手！一百英尺长！大刺痛!水母不仅仅是一种动物。 由许多小的组成。 水母喜欢邻居。 有些邻居会蛰你

food. Some neighbors eat food. Some neighbors make baby jellyfish!" Andrew scratched his head. "We'll have to go somewhere else to fix the Super-Sniffer," he said. "But right now I'm starving. Getting swallowed by a whale sure makes you hungry." "Me too!" said Judy. "I wonder what there is to eat around here," said Andrew. He unbuckled his seat belt and leaned over his seat. Instead of having rear seats, the back of the Water Bug had a tiny kitchen with a refrigerator, a microwave oven, a sink, and a cabinet. Andrew opened the refrigerator. Inside were piles of pizzas wrapped in plastic! "Neato mosquito!" said Andrew. "We've got Uncle Al's special pizzas!" As Andrew unwrapped a pizza, a white bird flew up from the water in front of the Water Bug. Big red feet slammed down on the hood of the Water Bug and walked up to the windshield. "It's the booby!" yelled Andrew.

食物。一些邻居吃东西。 有些邻居会做水母宝宝！”安德鲁挠了挠头。 “我们得去别的地方修理超级嗅探器。”他说。 “但现在我快饿死了。 被鲸鱼吞下肯定会让你饿的。” “我也是！”朱迪说。“我想知道这附近有什么吃的，”安德鲁说。 他解开安全带，身子靠在座位上。 水虫的后面没有后座，而是有一个小厨房，里面有冰箱、微波炉、水槽和一个橱柜。 安德鲁打开冰箱。 里面堆满了塑料包装的披萨！“蚊子！”安德鲁说。 “我们有阿尔叔叔的特别披萨！”当安德鲁打开披萨的包装时，一只白色的鸟从水里飞到了水虫的前面。 大红脚重重地踩在水虫的引擎盖上，走到挡风玻璃前。 “是那只鲣鸟！”

Thwack! Thwack! It was pecking at the glass. "I think it misses us," said Judy. The booby pecked at the window again, flew off, and dove underwater. meep… "Booby hunt for flying-fish eggs!" said Thudd. "I'll stick with pizza," said Andrew, looking to see what kind it was. As always, the crust was bright green. Uncle Al made crusts that glowed in the dark. The pizza was covered with Uncle Al's super-lumpy tomato sauce, lots of different cheeses, and a pile of onions. Uh-oh, thought Andrew. Onions. Yuck. He pulled off all the onions and stuck them in a pocket. Then he put the pizza into the microwave oven and set the timer for two minutes. By the time Andrew pulled the hot slices from the oven, the sun had disappeared. Puffy white

啪的一声,啪的一声,它在啄玻璃。 “我想它想念我们，”朱迪说。 那只鲣鸟又啄了啄窗户，飞了出去，潜入水中。 “猎取飞鱼蛋的饵雷！” “我还是吃披萨吧。”安德鲁说着，看看是哪种披萨。 和往常一样，地壳是亮绿色的。 阿尔叔叔做的面包皮在黑暗中发光。 披萨上覆盖着艾尔叔叔的超级块状番茄酱，许多不同的奶酪，还有一堆洋葱。 哦哦，安德鲁想。洋葱。 讨厌的东西。他把所有的洋葱都摘下来，塞进口袋里。 然后他把披萨放进微波炉，并设置了两分钟的计时器。 当安德鲁从烤箱里拿出热面包片时，太阳已经消失了。 蓬松的白色

clouds were being chased by black cloud mountains. Thudd pointed to the sky. meep… "Storm clouds," he said. "White clouds made of tiny drops of water. Storm clouds made of big drops of water. Big drops make storm clouds look black." Andrew handed Judy a slice of pizza. "We'll be safe in the Water Bug," he said. As they munched, the sky turned dark as a dirty sock. Fat drops of rain smacked the windshield. They closed the windows. A strong wind pushed the Water Bug along the waves, which were as high as a table. In minutes, they were as high as a refrigerator, then high as a ceiling, then high as a house! Then higher! Andrew stopped chewing his pizza crust.

乌云被乌云山追赶着。 砰的一声指向天空。“乌云。”他说。 “白云是由小水滴组成的。 暴风云是由大水滴构成的。 大雨滴使风暴云看起来是黑色的。” 安德鲁递给朱迪一片披萨。 “我们在水虫里是安全的，”他说。 当他们大嚼的时候，天空变得像一只脏袜子一样黑。 大雨点打在挡风玻璃上。 他们关上了窗户。一阵强风把水虫推着，海浪有桌子那么高。 几分钟后，它们和冰箱一样高，然后和天花板一样高，然后和房子一样高！那么高!安德鲁不再嚼披萨饼皮了。

As the Water Bug rode to the tops of the waves, long white fingers of foam poked at the windows. Then the Water Bug zoomed down the insides of the waves like a roller-coaster car. Suddenly zigzag fingers of lightning sizzled through the sky and crashed into the water. CRRRRAAAACKKKKK! came a bang of thunder. meep… "Water make electricity," said Thudd. "Little water molecules rub against each other. Electricity make lightning. Hotter than sun! Make air explode! Thunder happen! See lightning first

当水虫游到浪尖时，长长的白色泡沫手指戳着窗户。 然后水虫像过山车一样在海浪内部急速下降。 突然，弯弯曲曲的闪电嗖嗖地划过天空，坠入水中。 CRRRRAAAACKKKKK !一声霹雳。 “水可以发电，”泰德说。 小的水分子相互摩擦。 电产生闪电。 比太阳还热！让空气爆炸！雷电发生!先看闪电

cuz light go fast, fast, fast! Sound go slow! Light travel million times faster than sound!" "Let's dive!" yelled Judy. "You're never supposed to be in a high place when there's lightning. The Water Bug sticks out above the water." Before Andrew could pull down the steering wheel, his skin began to tingle. His hair stood straight out from his head! A flash of dazzling white light surrounded the Water Bug! It was so bright that Andrew had to close his eyes. It was so bright that he could see everything in the Water Bug through his closed eyelids!

因为光走得很快，很快，很快！声音慢点！光的传播速度是声音的百万倍！”“我们潜水吧！”朱迪喊道。 “闪电的时候，你不应该站在高处。 水虫伸出水面。” 安德鲁还没来得及拉下方向盘，他的皮肤就开始发麻。 他的头发直挺挺地从头上伸出来！一道耀眼的白光包围了水虫！光线太亮了，安德鲁不得不闭上眼睛。 光线是如此明亮，他闭着眼睛都能看到水虫舱里的一切！
