Chapter 4

4 RANK OPENS A TALL LAB CABINET AND WHEELS OUT A FULL-SIZE F skeleton. "Whoa!" says Watson. "Nice," says Janegoodall. "Two hundred and six bones total in an adult human being," says Frank. "And you use almost all of them when you pitch." Janegoodall bends the connected humerus, radius, and ulna arm bones at the elbow joint and then nods.

RANK打开一个高高的实验室橱柜，拿出一个全尺寸的F骨架。 “哇！”沃森说。“很好，”珍妮古德尔说。 “一个成年人总共有260块骨头，”弗兰克说。 “当你投球时，你几乎会用到所有这些。” Janegoodall在肘关节处弯曲连接的肱骨、桡骨和尺骨，然后点头。

"I was reading about one of Watson's favorite inventors..." Frank pins a picture of an old guy with crazy eyebrows and a long, wavy beard up on the Wall of Science. Watson licks two of his candies. "Leonardo da Vinci." Watson sticks the sweet and sour candies together. "Hey! That's an even better name than EveryTaste. I'll call my new candy invention the da Vinci!"

“我正在读华生最喜欢的一个发明家的故事……” 弗兰克把一张老家伙的照片钉在了科学墙上，照片上的人有着疯狂的眉毛和长长的波浪胡子。 华生舔了两块糖果。 “莱昂纳多·达·芬奇。”华生把糖块和糖块粘在一起。 “嘿!这名字比EveryTaste还好听。 我要把我的新糖果发明叫做达·芬奇！”

"Born April 15, 1452," Klink recites. "Italian painter, sculptor, inventor, musician, mathematician, engineer, and writer." "I saw this drawing da Vinci did when he was studying the human body," continues Frank. "And I had the idea—double the skeleton, double the power!" Janegoodall flips the skeleton's femur. "What?"

“生于1452年4月15日，”Klink背诵道。 意大利画家、雕塑家、发明家、音乐家、数学家、工程师和作家。 “我看到达芬奇在研究人体时画的这幅画，”弗兰克继续说。 “我有了一个主意——加倍的骨架，加倍的力量！”Janegoodall翻转骨架的股骨。 “什么?”

"So Klink and Klank and I have an idea for a great improvement." Frank digs around in the pile of toys and models in the lab. Frank finds what he is searching for and holds up two arms and two legs.

“所以Klink和Klank和我有一个伟大的改进的想法。” 弗兰克在实验室里的玩具和模型堆里翻来翻去。 弗兰克找到了他要找的东西，举起了两只胳膊和两条腿。

"Wow," says Janegoodall. Frank and Klink quickly attach the extra arms and legs to Klank. "Oh yeah!" says Klank. "Two times arms and two times legs make me two times human!" "Ummm, I don't think it works like that," says Janegoodall. "And also—" "Arms all set!" calls Frank. "Legs all set," calls Klink. "Klank all set," calls Klank. Frank plops a baseball into one of Klank's four hands. "Watson! Come here. I want you... to catch. Klink, you record speeds." Watson puts down his candy invention and picks up the catcher's mitt. Klank flexes all his arms. "I am Two Times New, Improved Klank!" "Wonderful," says Klink. "It is just a shame that your brain size could not be improved."

“哇，”珍妮古德尔说。弗兰克和克林克迅速把多余的胳膊和腿装到克林克身上。 “哦，耶！”克兰克说。“两倍的胳膊和两倍的腿让我变成了两倍的人！”“嗯，我不认为是这样的，”珍妮古德尔说。 “还有——”“武器都准备好了！”弗兰克喊道。 “腿都准备好了，”Klink叫道。 “克兰克都准备好了，”克兰克喊道。 弗兰克把一个棒球扔进克兰克的一只手里。 “华生!到这里来。我要你…… 赶上。克林克，你来记录速度。” 沃森放下他的糖果发明，拿起接球手的手套。 Klank弯曲了他所有的手臂。 “我是经过两倍改进的克兰克！”“太好了，”Klink说。 “很遗憾，你的大脑体积不能再增大了。”

"Hey," says Klank. "Is that a joke?" "Test One!" says Frank. "Klank, wind up and pitch a slow ball to Watson." Klank bends all four of his arms in a double imitation of Janegoodall's windup motion. He steps forward with his two left legs, windmills his two right arms, and pitches a perfect toss to Watson. "Great," says Frank. "Now back up, really put all four of your arms into it, and try to pitch a little faster." "Wait, wait, wait a minute," says Watson. "I need some protection." Watson digs through a pile of junk. "Hey, how about a catcher's mask?" Frank punches out the bottom of a birdcage and hands it to Watson. "Awww, come on." "It's for Science," says Frank. "And to help Janegoodall win the starting pitcher spot as our Midville Mud Hen ace."

“嘿，”克兰克说。“你在开玩笑吗？”“测试一！”弗兰克说。 “克兰克，上弦，给华生投个慢球。” 克兰克弯曲他的四只手臂，模仿珍妮古德尔的上弦动作。 他用两条左腿向前走，两只右臂转动，向沃森投出一个完美的抛球。 “太好了，”弗兰克说。“现在站起来，把你的四只胳膊都伸进去，试着投球快一点。” “等等，等等，等一下，”沃森说。 “我需要一些保护。”华生在一堆垃圾中翻找。 “嘿，接球手的面具怎么样？”弗兰克把一个鸟笼的底部打了出来，递给华生。 “啊，来吧。”“这是为了科学，”弗兰克说。 “并帮助珍妮古德尔赢得首发投手的位置，成为我们米德维尔泥浆母鸡队的王牌。”
