3 The Big Push

CHAPTER 3 THE BIG PUSH Luckily, the potato-powered translation transmitter level is right above us, so it's not too hard to get there. We set the controls to ALL LANGUAGES, ALL CREATURES, VERY LOUD, and Jill begins speaking…

幸运的是，土豆驱动的翻译传送器就在我们的上方，所以到达那里并不难。 我们将控制设置为所有语言，所有生物，非常大声，然后吉尔开始说话……

Jill has only just finished speaking when Terry points excitedly at the animals streaming toward us from the forest.

吉尔刚说完话，特里就兴奋地指着从森林里向我们涌来的动物。

"It's working!" says Terry. "Look— here they come!" The residents of the treehouse join us too, and soon our tree is filled with an army of willing pushers. We all line up behind Terry and push… "Go, Terry!" I shout. We push and push and push… Terry gets closer and closer. "I'm almost there!" Terry shouts back. "But I still can't quite…" "You've got this, Terry!" says Jill. "You just need one last big push! Everybody ready?"

“它起作用了！”特里说。 “看——他们来了！”树屋的居民也加入了我们的行列，很快我们的树就挤满了一群心甘情愿的推动者。 我们都站在特里身后，推着……“加油，特里！”我喊。 我们推啊推啊推，特里离我们越来越近。 “我快到了！”特里喊道。 “你能行的，特里！”吉尔说。 “你只需要最后一次大力推动！”每个人都准备好了吗?”

"We did it!" I say. "All the weather is back in the weather dome where it belongs." A big cheer rises up from below, where a large crowd has gathered. "Hey, look!" says Terry, waving. "There are

“我们成功了！”我说。“所有的天气都回到了它该呆的地方。” 一大群人聚集在下面，一阵欢呼从下面响起。 “嘿，看！”特里挥手说。 “有

television cameras down there. We're famous!" "How does it feel to be heroes?" calls our old friend Wanda Write-a-lot while Jimmy Snapshot clicks away with his camera. "Pretty good, actually!" says Terry. Then he turns to us. "Did you hear that? We're heroes. I've always wanted to be a hero." "Well," I say, "technically, it's me and Jill and everybody else who helped push who are the heroes, not you." "What do you mean?" says Terry. "You're the one who left the door open," I remind

那里有电视摄像机。 我们著名的!”“当英雄是什么感觉？”我们的老朋友Wanda Write-a-lot问道，而Jimmy Snapshot则用他的相机咔嗒咔嗒地拍着。 “其实很好！”特里说。 然后他转向我们。“你听到了吗？” 我们的英雄。我一直想成为英雄。” “嗯，”我说，“严格来说，我和吉尔以及其他帮助推动的人才是英雄，而不是你。” “你是什么意思？”特里说。 “是你没关门的，”我提醒他
