10 This Planet Rocks!

Chapter 10 THIS PLANET ROCKS! "WHAT?" said Judy, pulling out her earplugs. meep… "Sun exploding," said Thudd. "That what baby star do before it turn into grown-up star. Exploding sun throw lotsa stuff far, far away! Stuff go into orbit around sun. Make planets!" bong… "That is right," said the Time-A-Tron. "We have followed our Montana atoms ninety- three million miles from the sun. This is where the Earth will be." Outside the window was a swirling storm of pebbles. Then came rocks. A boulder the size of a bus was headed for them!

第十章这颗行星岩石！“什么？”朱迪边说边拔掉耳塞。 “太阳爆炸了。” “这就是小恒星在变成成年恒星之前所做的事情。 爆炸的太阳把很多东西扔到很远很远的地方！物质进入绕太阳运行的轨道。 “没错。”时间战神说。 “我们在距离太阳9300万英里的地方跟踪我们的蒙大拿原子。 这就是地球的所在。” 窗外是一阵鹅卵石的旋风。 然后是石头。一块公共汽车大小的巨石朝他们冲过来！

"Uh-oh!" said Andrew, ducking down in his seat. bong… "You need not be frightened," said the Time-A-Tron. "As long as we are traveling through time, nothing outside can harm us. Danger happens when we stop." The bus-sized boulder smashed into a truck- sized boulder. Instead of cracking apart, the rocks stuck together. "Yowzers!" yelled Andrew. meep… "Rocks hit hard!" said Thudd. "Press together hard, hard, hard! Pressure make heat. Rock melt. Rocks stick together!" Now some of the rocks zooming around the Time-A-Tron were the size of houses. Then they were the size of schools! meep… "Chunks keep smashing together. Thousands of years!" said Thudd. "Get big, big, big! Make tiny planet. Tiny planets smash together, make big planet!" bong… "We are so very lucky to be where we are," sighed the Time-A-Tron.

“哦哦！”安德鲁说着，在座位上蹲下身子。 “你不用害怕，”时间战神说。 “只要我们在时间旅行，外面的任何东西都伤害不了我们。 当我们停下来的时候，危险就发生了。” 公共汽车大小的巨石撞上了卡车大小的巨石。 岩石没有裂开，而是粘在一起了。 “尤尔斯！”安德鲁喊道。“石头砸得很厉害！” “用力，用力，用力！”压力产生热。 岩石融化。石头粘在一起！”现在，有些岩石在时间加速器周围急速旋转，有房子那么大。 那时它们的规模和学校一样大！大块的东西不断地碎在一起。 几千年！”萨德说。 “变大，变大，变大！”造一个小星球。 “我们能站在这里真是太幸运了，”时间战神叹道。

"Lucky!" said Judy. "You think we're lucky to be in the middle of crashing rocks the size of Texas?" bong… "We are lucky that the Earth will be ninety-three million miles away from the sun,"

“幸运！”朱迪说。“你觉得我们很幸运，能身处德克萨斯州那么大的岩石中间吗？”“我们很幸运，地球离太阳有9300万英里远。”

said the Time-A-Tron. "If Earth were closer to the sun or farther away, life would not happen. "Mercury is thirty-six million miles away from the sun. But it will be so hot that everything will boil away except metal and rock. There will be no water on Mercury. There will be no air to breathe. During the day, the temperature will be eight hundred degrees Fahrenheit." Suddenly Thudd's purple button popped open. A purple beam zoomed out, but no one was at the end of it. Tick… tock… tick… tock… A whispery voice began to speak: "You think you're getting closer. I assure you that you're not. Your uncle's getting awfully cold. Miss Wilde's in a gruesome spot. But what can Dubble children do When time is running out?

时间战神说。“如果地球离太阳更近或更远，生命就不会发生。 “水星离太阳有3600万英里远。 但是它会非常热，以至于除了金属和岩石外，所有的东西都会蒸发掉。 水星上将没有水。 没有空气可以呼吸。 白天，气温将达到华氏800度。” 突然，砰的一声，泰德的紫色纽扣打开了。 一束紫色的光束急速射出，但没有人在光束的末端。 “嘀嗒……嘀嗒……嘀嗒……嘀嗒……嘀嗒……”一个细细的声音开始说话：“你以为你越来越近了。 我向你保证你没有。 你叔叔很冷。 王尔德小姐的处境很可怕。 但是当时间不多的时候，杜布尔的孩子们能做些什么呢？

While stuck inside the Time-A-Tron, They sit around and pout! HA! HA! HA!" Tick… tock… tick… tock… The purple beam vanished. Andrew and Judy looked at each other. Judy shivered. "It's scary that Doctor Kron-Tox is talking to us with the Hologram Helper," she said. meep… "Unkie gonna be okay," said Thudd quietly. BUH… BUH… BUH… ZNERKKK! came a sound from deep inside the Time-A-Tron. The Fast-Fins stopped spinning and the Time- A-Tron stopped lurching. bong… "Oh dear," said the Time-A-Tron. "We are no longer speeding through time. We are stuck in it." "I'll fix that," said Judy. "Thudd, hop off the button."

当他们被困在时空争霸里时，他们围坐在一起，撅着嘴！哈!哈!哈!”嘀嗒……嘀嗒……嘀嗒……紫色的光束消失了。 安德鲁和朱迪面面相觑。 朱迪颤抖。她说：“克朗托克斯医生正在用全息影像助手和我们说话，这太可怕了。” “恩基会没事的。” 嗯…嗯…嗯…znerkk ！一个声音从时空战神的深处传来。 Fast-Fins停止了旋转，Time- A-Tron停止了摇晃。 “哦，天哪，”时间战神说。 “我们不再加速时间的流逝。 我们被困在里面了。”“我来修，”朱迪说。 “砰，跳下按钮。”

She gave the Fast-Forward button a hard smack with her slipper. The Fast-Fins fluttered a little, shook off a few sparks, then stopped. BUH-BUH-BUH-ZNERKKK! bong… "Good try, Miss Judy," said the Time- A-Tron. "But that got us only ten thousand years ahead. We're stuck in time again." Andrew scratched his head. "Uncle Al was having trouble with the Fast-Forward button," he said. "He was going to fix it tomorrow." meep… "Look out!" squeaked Thudd, pointing to a mountain speeding toward the Time-A-Tron. It zoomed closer. It was just a whisker away. It snagged one of the Fast-Fins!

她用拖鞋狠狠地敲了一下快进按钮。 快鳍微微抖动了一下，抖掉了一些火花，然后停了下来。 BUH-BUH-BUH-ZNERKKK !“干得好，朱迪小姐，”时间战神说。 “但这只让我们领先了一万年。 我们又被困在时间里了。” 安德鲁挠了挠头。 “艾尔叔叔用‘快进’键时遇到了麻烦，”他说。 “他本来打算明天再修的。” “小心！”砰砰尖声说，指着一座向时空战神疾驰而来的山。 它越来越近了。就在一须之遥。 它钩住了一只快速鳍！
