4 Open-Shark Surgery

CHAPTER 4 OPEN-SHARK SURGERY CUT OPEN A SHARK? No Way! You've got to hand it to Jill. She really loves animals. Even sharks. I mean, I like animals, and I think sharks are really cool, but there's NO WAY I'd ever get in a tank and operate on them, not even if they're too sick to move.

第四章切开鲨鱼手术切开鲨鱼？ 没门!你得把它交给吉尔。 她真的很喜欢动物。甚至鲨鱼。 我是说，我喜欢动物，我觉得鲨鱼真的很酷，但我绝对不会进到水族箱里给它们做手术，即使它们病得动弹不得。

GULP! shark inspection opening Help. me And judging by the way Terry is trembling, he's not too keen on the idea, either. "Well," I say, "I guess we'll leave you to it. Good luck!"

杯!鲨鱼检查开口救命。 从特里颤抖的样子来看，他也不太喜欢这个主意。 “好吧，”我说，“我想我们就不打扰你了。 祝你好运!”

"Where do you think you're going?" says Jill. "To the kitchen," I say. "I'm kind of in the middle of telling the readers a story." Kitchen. "Yeah," says Terry. "I'd better go as well—Andy will need me to draw the pictures."

“你想去哪儿？”吉尔说。 “去厨房，”我说。“我正在给读者讲故事。” 厨房。“是的，”特里说。 “我最好也去，安迪需要我画画。”

"Oh no, you don't," says Jill. "Both of you are staying right here—I need you to help me with the operation." "But what about the readers?" I say. "Don't worry," says Jill. "I'll deal with them." "Excuse me, readers! Unfortunately, we've got a bit of an emergency here and I'm just going to have to

“哦，不，你不知道，”吉尔说。 “你们两个都待在这儿——我需要你们帮我做手术。” “但是读者呢？”我说。 “别担心，”吉尔说。“我来对付他们。” “对不起，读者们！不幸的是，我们这里有点紧急情况，我不得不

borrow Andy and Terry for a moment. Is that okay? Great! Thanks for understanding. And do feel free to watch! Just try not to sneeze—we don't want any more germs getting into these poor sharks." She turns back to us. "I've explained the situation to the readers and they're fine with it, so get your diving suits on and let's get started." We shrug, put on our diving suits, and follow Jill into the tank. Stupid tight wefsuit.

我可以借安迪和特里一会儿。 可以吗？太棒了!谢谢理解。 请随意观看！尽量不要打喷嚏——我们不想让更多的细菌进入这些可怜的鲨鱼体内。” 她转向我们。“我已经向读者解释了情况，他们对此没有意见，所以穿上潜水衣，我们开始吧。” 我们耸耸肩，穿上潜水衣，跟着吉尔进了水池。 愚蠢的紧身潜水衣。

I don't know if you've ever been in a tank full of man- eating sharks before but, believe me, it's pretty scary. The sharks look even bigger down here than they do from up there. My, what big teeth, you have, grandma. "What if the sharks wake up and get hungry while we're doing the surgery?" I say. "They won't," says Jill. "Trust me. But just to be sure, I'll give them each a dose of Dr. Numbskull's Sleepy Shark Sleeping Potion."

我不知道你以前是否在一个满是食人鲨的鱼缸里待过，但是，相信我，这真的很可怕。 鲨鱼在下面看起来比在上面更大。 奶奶，你的牙齿好大啊。 “如果鲨鱼在我们做手术的时候醒来饿了怎么办？”我说。 “他们不会的。”吉尔说。“相信我。 但为了万无一失，我会给他们每人开一剂。 笨蛋的睡鲨药水。”
