CHAPTER 8 MUMMY MADNESS We swirl through time once more until we feel the

第八章木乃伊的疯狂我们再一次在时间中旋转，直到我们感到

now-familiar falling sensation. Terry peeps out the top of the bin. 'Can you see the building permit office?' I say. 'Um,' he says, 'does the building permit office look like a pyramid?' 'No,' says the inspector. 'Then I think we might be in Ancient Egypt,' says Terry. 'All I can see is sand, a Sphinx, palm trees and a big gold-topped pyramid that we're about to smash into.'

现在熟悉的坠落感。 特里从垃圾桶的顶部往外偷看。 “你能看到建筑许可证办公室吗？”我说。 “嗯，”他说，“建筑许可办公室看起来像个金字塔吗？“不，”巡查员说。 “那么我想我们可能到了古埃及。”特里说。 “我能看到的只有沙子、狮身人面像、棕榈树和一座我们即将撞进去的金色大金字塔。”

Finally, we come to a stop. A crowd of stunned- looking Ancient Egyptians are staring at the bottom of our bin. 'You idiots!' says one of them. 'You just squashed the pharaoh!' 'Uh-oh,' says Terry. 'I think we just squashed the pharaoh, whatever that is.' 'That's the king of Ancient Egypt!' I say. 'This is bad. Very bad.'

最后，我们停了下来。 一群目瞪口呆的古埃及人正盯着我们的垃圾桶底部。 “你白痴!其中一个说。 “你刚把法老压扁了！”“哦哦，”特里说。 “我想我们刚刚压扁了法老，不管那是什么。“那是古埃及的国王！”我说。 “这很糟糕。非常糟糕。”

The inspector shakes his head sadly. 'If only people would take the trouble to install landing warning beepers on their time-travelling wheelie bins, this sort of unpleasant accident could easily be avoided.' The pharaoh lets out a loud moan. 'He's still alive!' says Terry. 'Quick, let's get the bin off him,' I say.

检查员伤心地摇了摇头。 “如果人们能不辞辛苦地在他们穿越时空的轮式垃圾箱上安装着陆警告蜂鸣器，这种不愉快的事故就很容易避免了。”法老发出一声响亮的呻吟。 “他还活着！”特里说。 “快，把箱子从他身上拿开，”我说。

We lift the bin off the pharaoh and help him to his feet. 'Thank you!' he says. 'And now you must die!'

我们把箱子从法老身上抬起来，扶他站起来。 “谢谢你!”他说。“现在你必须死！”
