3 Jill to the Rescue The Present

CHAPTER 3 JILL TO THE RESCUE

第三章吉尔来营救

'Help!' I yell. 'Help!' yells Terry. 'Andy?' says a familiar voice. 'Terry? What are you doing up there?' It's Jill! 'The ants went crazy and turned into a hose!' I say. 'Can you turn the tap off so we can get down?' says Terry. 'Sure thing,' says Jill.

“救命!”我吼道。“帮助!特里喊道。 “安迪?一个熟悉的声音说。 “特里?你在上面干什么？”吉尔!“蚂蚁发疯了，变成了一根管子！”我说。 “你能把水龙头关了，好让我们下去吗？”特里说。 “当然，”吉尔说。

Jill turns the hose off (at the ant-tap)…

吉尔（在水龙头旁）把水管关掉。

and Terry and I fall to the ground with a loud THUMP!

我和特里砰的一声倒在地上！

'What did you do to upset the ants?' says Jill. 'They appear to be very agitated.' 'It's Terry's fault,' I say. 'He left the ant farm gate open and all the ants got out and started attacking us.' 'I only left it a little bit open,' says Terry. Jill frowns. 'When it comes to ants,' she says, 'a little can be a lot. I'd better have a talk to them.' She gets down on her knees, makes her fingers into pretend antennas and wiggles them around.

“你做了什么惹蚂蚁生气了？”吉尔说。 “他们看起来很激动。“这是特里的错，”我说。 “他把蚂蚁农场的门开着，所有的蚂蚁都出来攻击我们。“我只开了一点点，”特里说。 吉尔皱眉。她说：“对蚂蚁来说，一点点可能就是很多。 我最好和他们谈谈。”她跪下来，把她的手指做成假装天线，然后四处摆动。

'It's not working,' she says. 'I'm too big. I need to be ant-sized. Can you draw me smaller, Terry?'

她说，这行不通。 “我太大了。我要变成蚂蚁那么大。 你能把我画小一点吗，特里？”
