Chapter 24

24 FRANK PUTS THE TAPE BACK OVER WATSON'S MOUTH. Frank quickly slides the lever up on the Electro-Finger. "Maybe just a bit more power." Frank aims the Electro-Finger down into the whirlpool and pulls the trigger. Klink's webcam eye twirls in circles. "Beeeeeeeeeeep." "Oops. Sorry, Klink." Frank adjusts the

弗兰克把胶带放回沃森的嘴上。 弗兰克迅速地将电子手指上的控制杆向上滑动。 “也许只是更大一点的力量。” 弗兰克把电子手指对准漩涡，扣动了扳机。 Klink的摄像头眼睛在打转。 “Beeeeeeeeeeep。”“哦。对不起,Klink。” 弗兰克调整了

frequency knob and pulls the Electro-Finger trigger again. Klank's antenna blinks off and on. His keyboard starts playing "Old MacDonald Had a Farm." "Sorry, sorry, sorry." The raft spirals deeper into the whirlpool. Frank looks up, analyzing the situation. "Well, so much for that hypothesis." Watson wriggles out of his ropes and rips the tape off his mouth. "Hypothesis? I've got a hypothesis! We are goners!" Franks powers down the Electro-Finger. Klink's eye stops spinning. Klank's antenna stops flashing. "Old MacDonald" grinds to a stop. "That's not really a hypothesis," says Frank. "It's more an observation. Maybe even an opinion." "Aieeeeee!" says Watson. "What if we jump? Maybe we can swim out of this."

频率旋钮，再次扣动电子手指的扳机。 克兰克的天线忽明忽暗。 他的键盘开始弹奏“老麦克唐纳有一个农场”。 “对不起，对不起，对不起。”木筏在漩涡中越陷越深。 弗兰克抬起头来，分析着形势。 “好吧，这个假设到此为止。” 华生挣脱了绳子，扯掉了嘴巴上的胶带。 “假设?我有个假设！我们完了！”弗兰克斯切断了电指的电源。 Klink的眼睛停止转动。 克兰克的天线停止闪烁。 《老麦克唐纳》慢慢停了下来。 “这并不是一个假设，”弗兰克说。 “这更多的是一种观察。 甚至是一个观点。”“啊啊啊！”沃森说。 “我们跳下去怎么样？”也许我们可以游出去。”

The raft spins crazily around the inside of the whirlpool. "OK!" says Frank. "Now that's a hypothesis. But not a very good one. We can't overpower the water." "We have to do something!" says Watson. "Electrical energy didn't work," says Frank, thinking out loud. "Maybe some other form of energy would." "Sound energy!" bleeps Klank. "Badang badang badang." Klank blasts his Robot Boogie. "Badang badang badang." The raft circles faster. The turbine hum vibrates louder. Frank shakes his head. "No." Klink holds up his magnet attachment and corkscrew. "No, and no," mutters Frank. Watson desperately searches his pockets. "My peashooter!"

木筏在漩涡里疯狂地旋转。 “好的！”弗兰克说。“现在这是一个假设。 但不是很好。我们无法控制水。” “我们必须做点什么！”沃森说。 “电能不起作用，”弗兰克说，自言自语。 “也许其他形式的能量会。” “声能！”克兰克嘟嘟地说。 “巴当巴当巴当。”克兰克引爆了他的机器人布吉。 “巴当巴当巴当。”木筏转得更快了。 涡轮机的嗡嗡声振动得更响了。 弗兰克摇了摇头。“没有。” link举起他的磁铁和开瓶器。 “不，不，”弗兰克嘟囔着。 华生拼命地搜他的口袋。 “我的玩具枪!”

"Hmmm..." Frank scratches his head. "Yes, Watson. That's it!" The nose of the raft tilts down, headed for the humming, thrashing bottom. Watson loads his peashooter, trusting that Frank Einstein has a genius idea. "Who do I shoot? What? Where?" "No shooting!" Frank yells over the growing roar of the sloshing water and the churning turbine. "But let's use the same principle! Newton's Third Law!" "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction," Klink quotes calmly. "Yes!" says Frank. "Klank! Set your rockets on FULL THRUST and stick your feet out the back of the raft!" The raft twists and shudders. Watson grabs the front of it to keep from falling over. Klank uses his monkey-wrench hand to turn his rockets to FULL THRUST. "I knew my new

“嗯……”弗兰克挠了挠头。 “是的,华生。就是这样!”木筏的机头向下倾斜，朝着嗡嗡作响、颠簸的海底驶去。 华生给他的枪装上子弹，相信弗兰克·爱因斯坦有一个天才的主意。 “我该杀谁？”怎么啦？在哪里?”“没有射击!”弗兰克的喊声盖过了晃动的水和翻腾的涡轮机越来越大的轰鸣声。 “但让我们用同样的原则！”牛顿第三定律！”Klink平静地引用道：“每一个行动都有一个相等和相反的反应。” “是的！”弗兰克说。“Klank !把火箭开到最大推力，把脚伸到木筏后面去！”木筏扭曲并颤抖着。 沃森抓住它的前面，以免摔倒。 Klank用他的猴子扳手手把火箭转到全速。 “我认识我的新朋友

hand would come in handy!" Klank obeys Frank's command and sticks his feet out the back of the raft. "Everyone hang on tight! Klank, fire your rockets!" Klank pushes the green button on his side, and his mini Saturn V F-1 foot rockets ignite with a small ffwump. The raft circles the inside of the whirlpool more quickly. But now it rises, slowly spiraling up the tunnel of water. Frank Einstein yells, "More power!"

手会派上用场的！”克兰克听从弗兰克的命令，把脚伸到木筏后面。 “大家抓紧了！”克兰克，发射火箭！”克兰克按了一下身边的绿色按钮，他的迷你土星V型F-1脚火箭发出一声巨响点燃了。 筏子在漩涡里转得更快了。 但现在它上升了，慢慢地沿着水的隧道螺旋上升。 弗兰克·爱因斯坦喊道：“更强大！”

Klank increases his foot rockets to OVER THRUST. The raft surges. Frank turns Klank to steer.

Klank增加他的脚火箭到超过推力。 木筏颠簸起来。弗兰克让克兰克掌舵。
