Chapter 25

25 GENIUS!" SAYS EDISON, PEDALING HIS TENSPEED MOUNTAIN BIKE hard to keep up with Mr. Chimp. Mr. Chimp raises one eyebrow. "Today the town of Midville is ours. Tomorrow... the world." Mr. Chimp powerfully and effortlessly pedals his custom chimp-size racing bike.

25天才!”爱迪生说，他蹬着他的TENSPEED山地车很难跟上猩猩先生。 黑猩猩先生扬起了一条眉毛。 “今天米德维尔镇是我们的了。 明天……世界。”黑猩猩先生有力而轻松地蹬着他定制的黑猩猩大小的赛车。

"We are about to be richer than anyone can imagine. I will build the biggest, best, most amazing laboratory in the world," says Edison. "How about you, Mr. Chimp? What will you do with your share of the money?" Mr. Chimp glides downhill and thinks about that. He rides no-handed and signs:

“我们即将变得比任何人想象的都富有。 我将建造世界上最大、最好、最神奇的实验室，”爱迪生说。 “你呢，猩猩先生？” 你打算怎么处理你那份钱呢？”黑猩猩先生滑下山坡，想着那件事。 他骑着马两手空空地打着手势：

"What?" says Edison. "That's it?" Mr. Chimp stares at Edison. He adds: T. Edison doesn't know what to think of that. It doesn't make any sense to him. So he just ignores it. T. Edison and Mr. Chimp wheel into the Edison estate, under the stone entrance arch, down the driveway lined with sugar maple

“什么？”爱迪生说。“就这样?”猩猩先生盯着爱迪生。 他补充说：爱迪生不知道该怎么想。 这对他来说毫无意义。 所以他就忽略了。T.爱迪生和黑猩猩先生在石砌拱门下，沿着铺满糖枫树的车道驶入爱迪生庄园

trees, and up to the grand Edison mansion. They drop their bikes on the perfectly trimmed front lawn and walk through the massive oak double doors. "Oh, there you are, sweetie," says Edison's mother. "Please don't call me that in front of my workers, Mom." "Call you what?" "That thing you said." "What did I say, sweetie?" "That," says Edison out of the side of his mouth. "Don't call me 'sweetie.' My workers won't respect me." "Oh, no one cares that I call you 'sweetie,'" says Mrs. Edison. "And this is not your worker. This is your Mr. Chimpy Wimpy." "And do not call him that!" "You named him." "When I was two years old!" "Oh, stop with all your fussing, sweetie."

树木，一直到爱迪生大厦。 他们把自行车放在修剪整齐的前草坪上，穿过巨大的橡木双层门。 “哦，亲爱的，你在这儿啊，”爱迪生的妈妈说。 “妈妈，请不要在我的工人面前那样叫我。” “叫你什么？”“你说的那件事。” “亲爱的，我说什么来着？”“那个，”爱迪生从他的嘴角边说。 “别叫我‘亲爱的’。”我的员工不会尊重我。” “哦，没人在乎我叫你‘亲爱的’，”爱迪生太太说。 “这不是你的工人。 这就是你们的黑猩猩先生。” “别那样叫他！”“你给他起的名字。” “当我两岁的时候！”“别大惊小怪了，亲爱的”

Mr. Chimp laughs a panting little "Heh heh-heh." "See?" whines Edison. "Well, never mind. I just wanted to tell you that the funny new red light on your desk has been blinking, and some kind of horn has been honking." Edison's eyes open wide. "My Hydroelectric Turbine warning?" "If that's what you call it..." "That only triggers when the turbine stops!" Mr. Chimp signs:

猩猩先生气喘吁吁地笑着说：“嘿嘿。” “看到了吗？”爱迪生抱怨道。“好吧，没关系。 我只是想告诉你，你桌子上那个有趣的新红灯一直在闪烁，还有某种喇叭一直在响。” 爱迪生睁大了眼睛。“我的水力涡轮机警告？”“如果你这么说的话……” “只有在涡轮机停止时才会触发！”黑猩猩先生的手势：
