4 Blafooooom!

Chapter 4 BLAFOOOOOM! "Come on, Judy," said Andrew, walking toward the Time-A-Tron. HNNNNNNNNNNNNN… Judy crept toward the Time-A-Tron as though she were sneaking up on a sleeping dragon. There was a rope ladder hanging down from the Time-A-Tron. It led to an oval door in the bottom. Andrew climbed the ladder. The door didn't have a handle or a lock, but there was a square shape in the middle. Andrew took a guess.

第4章砰的一声！“来吧，朱迪。”安德鲁说着，朝时空机器人走去。 朱迪蹑手蹑脚地朝时间战龙走去，就像偷偷摸摸地靠近一条沉睡的巨龙。 有一个绳梯从时空战神上垂下来。 它通向底部一扇椭圆形的门。 安德鲁爬上梯子。 这扇门既没有把手也没有锁，但中间有一个方形。 安德鲁猜了猜。

"Good golly, Miss Molly," he said into the square. bong… The door zipped aside. HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN… The humming sound was even louder. Andrew crawled inside. Judy crept in after him. bong… The door zipped shut behind them! "Uh-oh," said Andrew. It was totally dark. "Maybe there's a light switch on the wall," said Judy. "I'll feel around." "Me too," said Andrew, reaching out his hands. "I found a switch," he said, flipping it. bong… "Tachyons loading," came a deep, echoey voice. "Oops," said Andrew. "Turn that switch OFF, Bug-Brain!" said Judy. "I'll try," said Andrew. "Youch!" yelled Judy, tripping over something on the floor.

“天哪，莫莉小姐，”他对着广场说。 门被拉到一边。 哼哼的声音更响了。 安德鲁爬了进去。朱迪跟着他爬了进去。 门在他们身后拉上拉链关上了！“哦哦，”安德鲁说。 当时一片漆黑。“也许墙上有个电灯开关，”朱迪说。 “我去找找看。”“我也是。”安德鲁说着，伸出双手。 “我找到了一个开关，”他说着，拨动了开关。 “超光速粒子装填。”一个低沉、有回声的声音传来。 “哎呀，”安德鲁说。“把开关关掉，笨蛋！”朱迪说。 “我试试。”安德鲁说。朱迪喊道，被地板上的什么东西绊倒了。

"Oofers!" yelled Andrew, tripping into Judy. Andrew snagged a cord and hung on to it to keep from falling. bong… "Power cord activated," came the deep voice. "Time-A-Tron preparing for time travel. The countdown begins now. One hundred… ninety-nine… ninety-eight…" "Cheese Louise!" said Judy. "We've got to stop this thing! We don't know what we're doing!" "Here's another switch," said Andrew, flipping it. A light went on. They were in a large, round chamber. In the middle was a spinning black ball. At the bottom of it, black tubes led to a bulgy shape by the wall. A label on the bulgy shape said TACHYONS. Next to the bulge was a screen with changing colors. Underneath the screen were rows of switches. Some had big black handles and others had red ones.

“哎哟！”安德鲁喊道，撞到了朱迪。 安德鲁抓住一根绳子，紧紧抓住，以免掉下去。 “电源线启动了。”一个低沉的声音传来。 “时空战神为时间旅行做准备。 倒计时现在开始。“奶酪露易丝！”朱迪说。 “我们必须阻止这东西！”我们不知道自己在做什么！”“这是另一个开关。”安德鲁说着，把它翻转过来。 灯亮了。他们在一个大而圆的房间里。 中间是一个旋转的黑球。 在它的底部，黑色的管子通向一个靠墙的凸起的形状。 凸起的形状上的标签上写着TACHYONS。 凸起部分旁边是一个不断变化颜色的屏幕。 屏幕下面是一排排的开关。 有些有黑色的大把手，有些有红色的把手。

The deep voice kept counting down: "…fifty- nine… fifty-eight…" Andrew noticed a door in the ceiling. He grabbed its handle and pulled. The door opened and a rope ladder fell down. Andrew climbed into the upper compartment of the Time-A-Tron. He found himself beside a silvery blue chair big enough for two people. In front of the chair was a flat panel. The floor had outlines of black circles and squares. "…twenty-three… twenty-two… twenty-one…" Andrew looked around the compartment. He didn't see any controls. "I wonder how you operate this thing," he said. bong… The flat panel opened up. A digital display at the top of the panel blinked "TODAY." Below the display were several buttons blinking red. The two biggest ones were shaped like arrows. The arrow on the left was labeled FAST-BACK. The one on the

那个低沉的声音不停地倒数：“……五十九……五十八……”安德鲁注意到天花板上有一扇门。 他抓住把手使劲拉。 门开了，一个绳梯掉了下来。 安德鲁爬进了时空战神的上层隔间。 他发现自己坐在一张银蓝色的椅子旁边，椅子足够坐两个人。 椅子前面是一块平板。 地板上有黑色圆圈和正方形的轮廓。 “……23……22……21……”安德鲁环顾了一下车厢。 他没有看到任何控制装置。 “我想知道你是怎么操作这东西的，”他说。 砰……平板打开了。 面板顶部的数字显示屏闪烁着“今日”的字样。 显示器下面有几个闪烁着红色的按钮。 最大的两个形状像箭头。 左边的箭头标记为FAST-BACK。 上面的那个

right said FAST-FORWARD. Between these two buttons was a squiggly one marked WORM-DRIVE. bong… "Three… two… one," came the deep voice. "Time travel is now possible." The Fast-Back, Fast-Forward, and Worm-Drive buttons turned green and began to flash. Andrew scratched his head. "I guess I have to press one of these," he said. Just then, Judy came up through the door in the floor. "Don't touch anything!" she hollered.

右说快进。在这两个按钮之间，有一个弯弯曲曲的按钮，上面写着“蠕虫驱动”。 “三……二……一，”那低沉的声音传来。 “时间旅行现在是可能的。” “快退”、“快进”和“蠕虫驱动”按钮变成绿色并开始闪烁。 安德鲁挠了挠头。 “我想我必须按下其中的一个，”他说。 就在这时，朱迪从地板上的门走了上来。 “别碰任何东西！”她喊道。

But it was too late. Andrew had already pushed the Fast-Back button. HNNNN… HNNNN… The humming of the Fast-Fins grew louder and louder. Then the sound changed. WOOHOOOOOO! It sounded like the howling of a hurricane. Suddenly snowball-sized balls of bright green light started to fly off the Fast-Fins. BLAFOOOOOM!

但为时已晚。安德鲁已经按下了快退键。 “快鳍”的嗡嗡声越来越响。 然后声音变了。WOOHOOOOOO !听起来像飓风的咆哮。 突然，雪球大小的明亮的绿光球开始从快速鳍上飞出来。 BLAFOOOOOM !
