Chapter 3

3 LINK, KLANK, FRANK, WATSON, AND JANEGOODALL WHEEL, CLOMP, run as fast as they can down Main Street, left on Oak Street, right on Pine, and into Frank Einstein's laboratory. They slam the door shut behind them and fall on the old couch. Frank and Watson and Janegoodall laugh and pant for breath. Klink and Klank observe their human pals, puzzled. "What is with the rapid air intake?" asks Klink. "We used up a lot of oxygen running so fast," explains Frank. "So our bodies are working faster than usual to replace it."

林克、克兰克、弗兰克、沃森和詹尼古德尔：滚轮、克朗普，以最快的速度沿着大街跑，左转到橡树街，右转到松树街，最后进入弗兰克·爱因斯坦的实验室。 他们砰地关上身后的门，倒在旧沙发上。 弗兰克、华生和珍妮古多尔都笑得喘不过气来。 Klink和Klank看着他们的人类朋友，很困惑。 “进气量这么快是怎么回事？”Klink问。 “我们跑得太快，耗光了很多氧气，”弗兰克解释说。 “所以我们的身体比平时更快地工作来替换它。”

"I see," says Klink, scanning his instant research on the human respiratory system. "Your muscles are pulling down your diaphragm, causing your lungs to expand, drawing air into your nose and mouth, down your trachea, through your bronchial tubes..." "Exactly," says Frank, parking the FrankenDrone on a shelf above the

“我明白了，”Klink说，扫了一眼他对人类呼吸系统的即时研究。 “你的肌肉拉下你的横膈膜，导致你的肺扩张，把空气吸入你的鼻子和嘴巴，顺着你的气管，通过你的支气管……” “没错，”弗兰克说着，把弗兰肯无人机停在了

workbench. "...into smaller airways called bronchioles," continues Klink, "that end in small balloon-like air sacs called alveoli, that are surrounded by the smallest blood vessels, called capillaries... "...where the inhaled air passes into the blood

工作台。“……进入被称为细支气管的更小的气道，”Klink继续说，“细支气管的末端是被称为肺泡的气球状的小气囊，肺泡周围是被称为毛细血管的最小血管…… “…吸入的空气在哪里进入血液

and back to the heart, delivering oxygen to the cells and tissues and organs of your body." "Wow," says Janegoodall. "No kidding," adds Watson. "Or you could have just said we are out of breath." "I am not kidding," says Klink. "And why are you laughing?" This makes Watson and Janegoodall laugh harder. "We just got away from someone with a broken window who was going to be very mad," says Watson. "Why is that funny?" asks Klink. "I know why," says Klank. "It is funny like: Why did the chicken cross the road?" Klink blinks a green light and hums. "From the information you have given me, I cannot tell. Why did the chicken cross the road?"

再回到心脏，将氧气输送到身体的细胞、组织和器官。” “哇，”珍妮古德尔说。“不是开玩笑，”沃森补充道。 “或者你可以直接说我们喘不过气来。” “我不是在开玩笑，”Klink说。 “你为什么笑呢？”这让华生和珍妮古德尔笑得更厉害了。 “我们刚从一个窗户破了的人那里逃了出来，他会很生气的，”沃森说。 “这有什么好笑的？”Klink问。 “我知道为什么，”克兰克说。“这很有趣，比如：为什么鸡要过马路？”link闪烁着绿灯，哼着歌。 “从你给我的情况来看，我不能说。 鸡为什么要过马路？”

"To get to the other side!" beeps Klank. "Ha-ha-ha!" Klink blinks rapidly now. "What? And why is that funny? Why is it a chicken? What does a chicken..." Klink's hard-drive brain spins and stops, spins and stops. Frank jumps up and knocks Klink on the side of his glass dome. "Forget the chicken. Time to get going on our experiment." Frank digs through a pile of broken toys and a heap of brightly colored models. "It's perfect that Grampa Al cleaned out both the old toy store and the old hospital. And added all these great pieces to his Fix It! junkyard." Frank holds up a giant wind-up cockroach and an oversize model of the human ear. "We've got everything we could possibly need." "No kidding!" says Watson.

“去另一边！”克兰克嘟嘟地说。 “哈哈哈!”克林克现在眨得很快。 “什么?为什么好笑呢？ 为什么是一只鸡？一只鸡……” 克林克的硬盘大脑不停旋转，不停旋转，不停旋转。 弗兰克跳起来，在他的玻璃圆顶上敲了敲叮当。 “别管鸡了。是时候开始我们的实验了。” 弗兰克在一堆破损的玩具和一堆色彩鲜艳的模型中翻来翻去。 “阿尔爷爷把旧玩具店和旧医院都打扫干净了，真是太好了。 并将所有这些伟大的作品添加到他的Fix It！垃圾场。” 弗兰克举起一只巨大的上了发条的蟑螂和一个超大号的人耳模型。 “我们已经得到了我们可能需要的一切。” “不是开玩笑吧！”沃森说。

Janegoodall picks up a stuffed dog with no ears and a blue-veined model of a red human heart. "Really? And why exactly do we need all this junk?" "Here's why," says Frank. "My first idea."

珍妮古德尔拿起一只没有耳朵的毛绒狗和一个有蓝色血管的红色人类心脏模型。 “真的吗?我们究竟为什么需要这些垃圾？”“原因是这样的，”弗兰克说。 “我的第一个想法。”
