11 Bye-Bye, Bob!

Chapter 11 BYE-BYE, BOB! Andrew held his breath, but all he felt was a little tickle. Andrew and Judy got to the far side of the sea wasp corral and pushed through the giant kelp. They were in a narrow part of a coral canyon. It was getting dark. Nighttime was coming. Above them, Andrew could see the shadow of the Crab-Mobile. It was towing the Water Bug and the cage of sharks. In the craggy walls around them, parrotfish were tucked into mucus-goo sleeping bags. A huge

第十一章再见，鲍勃！安德鲁屏住了呼吸，但他只觉得有点痒痒。 安德鲁和朱迪走到海黄蜂群的另一边，推开巨大的海带。 他们在珊瑚峡谷的一个狭窄的地方。 天渐渐黑了。夜幕降临了。 在他们上方，安德鲁可以看到移动蟹的影子。 它拖着水虫号和鲨鱼笼子。 在它们周围嶙峋的墙壁上，鹦嘴鱼被塞进黏液状的睡袋里。 一个巨大的

octopus was stuffed into a cave. It looked more like a lumpy rock than a live animal, but its slitty eyes were watching them. Suddenly Andrew had an idea. He pulled the pink and purple anemones off his Bubble Duds and placed them gently on some flat rocks. "Andrew!" yelled Judy. "What are you doing?" Slowly, the octopus curled a tentacle toward one of Andrew's pockets. It was the pocket where Andrew had put the sleeping mussels. Andrew moved away. The tentacle wiggled in Andrew's direction, but the octopus stayed in its cave. Andrew pulled the mussels out of his pocket. "Maybe there's enough," he said. "Come on, Judy. Take off your anemones and let's get the Water Bug." "Are you nutso?" said Judy. "We don't have anything to protect us from those awful Crab- Mobile claws or to cut the Water Bug loose." Andrew smiled. "Oh yes, we do," he said.

章鱼被塞进了山洞。 它看起来更像一块块状的岩石，而不是一只活生生的动物，但它那双裂开的眼睛正盯着他们。 突然，安德鲁有了一个主意。 他把粉红色和紫色的海葵从泡泡衣上扯下来，轻轻地放在一些平坦的岩石上。 “安德鲁！”朱迪喊道。“你在干什么？”章鱼慢慢地把触手伸向安德鲁的一个口袋。 那是安德鲁放睡着的贻贝的口袋。 安德鲁走开了。触手朝着安德鲁的方向摆动，但章鱼呆在洞里。 安德鲁从口袋里掏出贻贝。 “也许足够了，”他说。 “来吧，朱迪。脱掉你的海葵，我们去捉水虫。” “你疯了吗？”朱迪说。 “我们没有任何东西可以保护我们不受那些可怕的蟹爪的伤害，也没有任何东西可以让水虫挣脱束缚。” 安德鲁笑了。“哦，是的，我们有，”他说。

Andrew paddled higher in the water and wagged the mussels. The octopus twirled its tentacles toward Andrew's hand. Andrew swam higher and dangled the mussels out of the octopus's reach. "Here, octopus, octopus, octopus!" said Andrew. The octopus jetted out of its cave. Andrew scrambled up toward the surface. He could feel rubbery tentacles poking at his back. One of them wrapped itself around his ankle! Andrew came up behind the Crab-Mobile. He stuck some mussels onto the cord of the No-Go Yo-Yo. Then he stuck some onto the giant suction cup. Andrew crossed his fingers and hoped the mussels were sticky enough to stay. The octopus let go of Andrew's leg and flung itself at the mussels on the cord. "Judy!" yelled Andrew to his cousin just below. "Quick! Get into the Water Bug!"

安德鲁在水里荡得更高了，摇着贻贝。 章鱼把它的触须向安德鲁的手旋转。 安德鲁游得更高，把贻贝吊在章鱼够不着的地方。 “来，章鱼，章鱼，章鱼！”安德鲁说。 章鱼冲出了洞穴。 安德鲁爬上水面。 他能感觉到橡胶般的触手戳在他的背上。 其中一只缠住了他的脚踝！安德鲁从螃蟹车后面走了过来。 他把一些贻贝粘在了溜溜球的绳子上。 然后他在巨大的吸盘上粘了一些。 安德鲁交叉着手指，希望贻贝足够粘，能留下来。 章鱼放开了安德鲁的腿，扑向绳子上的贻贝。 “朱迪！”安德鲁对下面的表妹喊道。 “快!到水虫那儿去！”

Andrew dove under the Water Bug. Judy was already there. They pressed the buttons on the bottom of the Water Bug seats. FLAMP! The seats flipped out. Andrew and Judy belted themselves in, pressed the buttons on the sides of the seats, and flipped themselves inside. glurp… "I tried to escape," said the Water Bug. "I wanted to rescue you. But the suction cup kept my hood shut." "It's okay," said Andrew. Outside, the octopus was chomping the mussels. It chewed right through the cord. The Water Bug was free! Then the octopus slapped itself onto the hood and munched off the mussels and the suction cup. Soggy Bob must have felt the cord come loose from the Crab-Mobile. He turned around and his mouth fell open in surprise. kk… kkk… kkkkk… crackled the speaker. "I'll be gol-durned!" said Soggy Bob.

安德鲁钻到水虫下面。 朱迪已经在那里了。他们按下了水虫座位底部的按钮。 FLAMP !座位被掀翻了。 安德鲁和朱迪系好安全带，按下座位边上的按钮，迅速钻进了车里。 “我想逃走的。”水虫说。 “我想救你。但是吸盘让我的引擎盖一直闭着。” “没关系，”安德鲁说。外面，章鱼正在咬贻贝。 它咬断了绳子。 水虫是自由的！然后，章鱼把自己拍在引擎盖上，大口咀嚼着贻贝和吸盘。 湿漉漉的鲍勃一定是觉得螃蟹车的绳子松了。 他转过身来，惊讶地张大了嘴巴。 kkk, kkk, kkk，扬声器噼啪作响。 “我要被金制了！”鲍勃说。

Andrew pressed the Octo-Tool button. "Octo- Tool inside!" he said. "What are you doing?" yelled Judy. "You'll see," said Andrew. The Octo-Tool tentacles squeezed in through the rubber door under the steering wheel. Andrew put a mussel in each tentacle. "Toss the mussels on top of the Crab-Mobile dome!" he ordered. "Quick!" The tentacles scurried out. They pelted the Crab-Mobile with mussels. The giant octopus flung itself toward the Crab-Mobile and plopped itself down on its glass dome! "What in tarnation is goin' on here?" growled Soggy Bob. Clack! Clack! Clack! The Crab-Mobile claws snapped at the octopus. The octopus wrapped its tentacles around the claws! Suddenly the octopus jetted backward and downward—taking the Crab-Mobile with it!

安德鲁按下八进制工具按钮。 “里面有工具！”他说。 “你在干什么？”朱迪喊道。 “你等着瞧吧。”安德鲁说。 章鱼工具的触手从方向盘下面的橡胶门里挤了进来。 安德鲁在每根触手上放了一个贻贝。 “把贻贝扔到螃蟹移动圆顶上！”他命令道。 “快!”触角飞快地伸出来。 他们用贻贝砸螃蟹车。 巨大的章鱼扑向移动蟹，扑通一声落在玻璃圆顶上！“这到底是怎么回事？”湿漉漉的鲍勃咆哮道。 瓣!瓣!瓣!移动蟹的爪子咬住了章鱼。 章鱼把它的触手缠绕在爪子上！突然，章鱼向后和向下喷射——把螃蟹移动器也带走了！

kk… kkk… kkkkk… "Grrrrrrr!" came Soggy Bob's horrible growl through the speakers. "Ya bad, bad water babies better watch out! Ah'll be comin' to getcha!" It was dark now. Andrew snapped on the Water Bug's headlights. They watched the Crab-Mobile disappear into the gloomy ocean below. "Wowzers!" said Andrew. He pulled his Bubble Duds helmet off his head. "Yay!" yelled Judy. She took off her helmet, too. Andrew turned to Judy. "You know what time it is?" he asked. "It's pretty late," said Judy.

kkk……kkk……kkk……“grrrrrr !”从扬声器里传来了湿鲍勃可怕的咆哮。 “你们这些坏的、坏的水娃最好小心点！”我马上去接你！”现在天已经黑了。 安德鲁啪的一声关上了水虫的前灯。 他们看着螃蟹车消失在下面阴暗的海洋里。 “哇！”安德鲁说。他从头上摘下他的泡泡玩具头盔。 “耶！”朱迪喊道。她也摘下了头盔。 安德鲁转向朱迪。“你知道现在几点了吗？”他问。 “很晚了，”朱迪说。
