23 More Lame Museums

Chapter 23 MORE LAME MUSEUMS "Oh no, not another one!" Coke said underwater, the bubbles pouring out of his mouth. MOOVRETTHTOGO. What could that possibly mean? Coke showed his sister the letters at the bottom of the pool and quickly memorized them. As soon as they climbed out of the water and toweled off, Pep wrote the cipher down on a blank page in her notebook and got to work. MOOVRETTHTOGO. She figured that before anything else, she would try out the same strategy that had worked on the last cipher. She reversed the first two letters, and then reversed the third and fourth letters.

第二十三章更多蹩脚的博物馆“哦，不，别再去了！”可乐在水下说，泡沫从他嘴里涌出来。 MOOVRETTHTOGO。这可能是什么意思？ 科克把池底的字母拿给妹妹看，很快就记住了。 他们刚从水里爬出来，擦干毛巾，佩普就在笔记本的空白页上写下了密码，开始工作。 MOOVRETTHTOGO。她想，在做任何事情之前，她应该先尝试一下破解上一个密码的相同策略。 她把前两个字母颠倒过来，然后又把第三和第四个字母颠倒过来。

OM OV. OMOV Well, that didn't mean anything. This would require a bit more thought. Pep resolved to work on it more seriously later. If they hadn't decided to go swimming, it occurred to Coke, they would have never seen the message left for them at the bottom of the pool. How was it, he wondered, that Evil Elvis was able to send them these messages so easily? He had to know exactly where they were going to go and when they were going to be there. Then he had to get to that location first, plant the cipher, and leave. Coke scratched his head and remembered … the computer chip. Way back in California, when they had first joined The Genius Files program, GPS devices had been implanted into both of their scalps. Their every move could be tracked. And there was no way to remove the computer chips. How Evil Elvis managed to write letters on the bottom of a pool filled with water was anybody's guess.

OM机汇。奥莫夫：嗯，那不代表什么。 这需要更多的思考。 佩普决定以后更认真地研究这个问题。 可口可乐突然想到，如果他们没有决定去游泳，他们就永远不会看到池底留给他们的信息。 他想知道，邪恶的埃尔维斯是如何轻易地把这些信息传递给他们的？ 他必须确切地知道他们要去哪里，什么时候到那里。 那他就得先到那个地方，植入密码，然后离开。 可口可乐挠了挠头，想起了电脑芯片。 回到加州，当他们第一次加入“天才档案”项目时，GPS设备被植入了他们的头皮。 他们的一举一动都可以被追踪。 而且没有办法移除电脑芯片。 谁也不知道“邪恶的埃尔维斯”是如何在一个装满水的水池底部写信的。

"We've got to tell Mom and Dad what's going on," Pep told her brother as they headed back to the RV. "Honesty is the best policy." "Don't you remember what Dr. Warsaw told us after the wedding?" Coke replied. "He said if we say one word about any of this to our parents, he'll kill them both." "Oh yeah." Go to Google Maps (http://maps.google.com/). Click Get Directions. In the A box, type Travelers Rest SC. In the B box, type Hartwell GA. Click Get Directions. Despite everything that had happened in South Carolina, the twins somehow managed to have a

“我们必须告诉爸爸妈妈发生了什么事，”佩普告诉她的哥哥，他们正在返回房车的路上。 “诚实是上策。” “你不记得了吗？ 华沙在婚礼后告诉我们的？”可口可乐答道。 “他说，如果我们对父母说一个字，他就把他们俩都杀了。” “噢,是的。”进入谷歌Maps （http://maps.google.com/）。 点击“获取路线”。在A框中，输入Travelers Rest SC。 在B框中，输入Hartwell GA。 点击“获取路线”。尽管在南卡罗来纳发生了那么多事情，但这对双胞胎不知怎么地设法拥有了一个

relaxing dinner and get a good night's sleep. In the morning, the McDonalds pulled out of Valley Park Resort around nine o'clock and made their way to I-85 South. The Blue Ridge Mountains appeared hazily in the distance. It wasn't long before the McDonalds started to see a lot of water out the windows on both sides, as well as people fishing, boating, and water skiing. It was enormous Lake Hartwell, which has 962 miles of shoreline. The lake was named after Nancy Hart, a woman who almost singlehandedly captured six British soldiers in the Revolutionary War. They were going over a long bridge when a sign came into view....

吃顿放松的晚餐，睡个好觉。 早上9点左右，麦当劳的人从山谷公园度假村（Valley Park Resort）出来，向I-85公路南行。 蓝岭山脉朦胧地出现在远处。 没过多久，麦当劳开始看到两边的窗户外面都是水，还有人在钓鱼、划船和滑水。 它是巨大的哈特韦尔湖，有962英里的海岸线。 这个湖是以南希·哈特的名字命名的，她在独立战争中几乎单枪匹马地俘虏了六名英国士兵。 他们正走过一座长桥，这时一个标志映入眼帘....

Welcome We're Glad Georgia's On Your Mind Georgia-site Of The 1996 Olympic Games "Woo-hoo!" Coke shouted. "The Goober State!" "Why are peanuts called goobers, anyway?" Mrs. McDonald asked, figuring one of them might know the answer. "It's one of those mysteries of life," replied Dr. McDonald, "like what happened to Amelia Earhart. Hey, maybe I should write a biography about her." "Actually," Coke said, "the word goober was an African term that was brought to America by slaves before the Civil War." "Thank you, Mr. Know-It-All," said Pep, rubbing her eyes.

欢迎，我们很高兴格鲁吉亚在你的脑海中格鲁吉亚- 1996年奥运会的网站“哇！”可口可乐喊道。 “谷歌之州！”“为什么花生叫goobers呢？”麦克唐纳太太问道，心想他们当中可能有人知道答案。 “这是生命的奥秘之一。” 就像发生在阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特身上的事一样。 嘿，也许我应该为她写一本传记。” “实际上，”科克说，“goober这个词是一个非洲词汇，内战前由奴隶带到美国的。” “谢谢你，万事通先生。”佩普揉着眼睛说。

"Aren't you going to regale us with some obscure trivia about the state of Georgia, honey?" asked his mother. Coke had to search his memory for a moment before he was able to come up with anything. "Georgia is the nation's number one producer of the three Ps," he finally said, recalling a copy of the Weekly Reader from second grade. "Peanuts, pecans, and peaches." "Everybody knows that, bonehead," Pep said with a snort. "Don't call your brother a bonehead." "Oh yeah?" Coke replied. "Well, the Georgia state seashell is the knobbed whelk." "That's more like it, Son!" said his father. Pep rolled her eyes in disgust. By the age of thirteen, many kids take an active interest in where they go on a family vacation and even help their parents plan out the trip. But Coke and Pep were still pretty much content to let their parents take care of these

“亲爱的，你不打算给我们讲一些关于乔治亚州的晦涩琐事吗？”他母亲问。 在他能够想出任何东西之前，可口可乐不得不在他的记忆中搜索了一会儿。 “乔治亚州是全国最大的三个p的产地，”他最后说，回忆起二年级时的一本《每周阅读》。 “花生、山核桃和桃子。” “每个人都知道，笨蛋，”佩普哼了一声说。 “别叫你弟弟傻瓜。” “哦?”可口可乐答道。“嗯，乔治亚州的贝壳是有节的海螺。” “这才像话，儿子！”父亲说。 佩普厌恶地翻白眼。 到13岁时，许多孩子就会对家庭度假的地点产生积极的兴趣，甚至帮助父母计划旅行。 但可口可乐和佩普仍然很满足于让他们的父母来照顾这些孩子
