19 Time Is Up

CHAPTER NINETEEN Time Is Up Phosphors (noun). Substances that glow when struck by special kinds of light, such as ultraviolet light. Your teeth and fingernails have phosphors, which is why they look so awesome under a black light. I SHONE THE LIGHT IN THE DRAWER. Glowing letters immediately appeared. RIO. "Rio! Is that some kind of element?" asked Birdie. "Nope," I said. "That's where Dr. Franklin went," guessed Phoenix. "It's in South America, Brazil, actually." "Okay, great," said Jeremy. "Now we know where she's hiding out. What next?" "That's where the globe comes in," said Phoenix. She spun the globe until her finger hovered right over Brazil. "Is there a code written on the globe?" asked Elijah hopefully. "Maybe so," said Phoenix.

第十九章时间到了荧光粉（名词）。 被特殊光线照射时会发光的物质，如紫外线。 你的牙齿和指甲有荧光粉，这就是为什么它们在黑光下看起来如此棒的原因。 我照着抽屉里的灯。 发光的字母立刻出现了。 里约热内卢。“里约热内卢!那是某种元素吗？”小鸟问。 “不，”我说。“这就是博士。 富兰克林走了。”菲尼克斯猜测道。 “实际上是在南美洲的巴西。” “好的，太好了，”杰里米说。 “现在我们知道她躲在哪里了。 下一个什么?”“这就是地球仪的用武之地，”菲尼克斯说。 她旋转着地球仪，直到她的手指在巴西上空盘旋。 以利亚满怀希望地问：“地球仪上写着什么密码吗？” “也许吧。”菲尼克斯说。

I sped over to the lock. "Latitude and longitude. Read them out," I said. "The longitude goes up and down the earth, just like how we cut an apple. And the latitude goes around the earth, like a hula hoop." "Okay," called out Phoenix. "Wait. The latitude and longitude are written in Sharpie right here. That makes it easy, which is good since we don't have much time. The latitude is 22.91 and the longitude is 43.17." "So that would be too many numbers," I called out. "This is a four-digit combination padlock." "Try twenty-three and then forty-three," suggested Memito. I swirled the numbers. I tried 2343. "Nope." "What if you add the latitude and longitude together?" said Elijah, who loved math. "So it would be 6608. Try that!" I spun the numbers into place and then tugged. The lock opened! We all burst out of the room, with four seconds to spare. "We did it!" I cried, jumping up and down. In the hallway, Blanche greeted us with a huge smile. And it grew even bigger as Elijah handed her the tube with the virus image. "For safekeeping," he said.

我飞快地跑向水闸。“纬度和经度。 把它们念出来。”我说。“经度在地球上上下移动，就像我们切苹果一样。 纬度绕着地球转，就像呼啦圈一样。” “好吧。”凤凰叫道。 ”等。经纬度是用记号笔写在这里的。 这很简单，这很好，因为我们时间不多了。 北纬22.91度，经度43.17度。” “那数字太多了。”我喊道。 “这是一把四位数组合挂锁。” “试试23，再试试43，”梅托建议道。 我旋转着数字。我试了2343。 “不。”喜欢数学的以利亚说：“如果你把经纬度加在一起会怎么样？” “所以应该是6608。试试!”我把数字转到合适的位置，然后用力拉。 锁开了！我们都冲出了房间，还剩四秒钟。 “我们成功了！”我叫着，跳上跳下。 在走廊里，布兰奇微笑着迎接我们。 当以利亚递给她装有病毒图像的试管时，它变得更大了。 “为了安全起见，”他说。

"Thank you. Dragas will never get it now," Blanche said, tucking it into her trench coat. Then she took off her sunglasses and smiled with pride. "Really, congratulations, everyone. You did it! That was some wonderful teamwork!" We all smushed into a group hug, jumping up and down. "Does that mean that Dr. Dragas won't be able to rule the world?" asked Memito. "That's right," said Ms. Daly. "You all saved the planet." "And our grades," said Phoenix. "I'll say," said Ms. Daly. "Those big fat goose egg zeroes have just been changed to hundreds. You guys used impressive teamwork in there, right down to the wire." Birdie smiled at me. And I smiled back, giving her a knowing look and a wink. "That was so much fun." Jeremy glanced at Phoenix, me, and Birdie. "You guys rocked." Wow. Those were words I never thought I'd hear coming out of Jeremy Rowe's mouth. "We all rocked," I said. And then we all highfived each other. "I don't think I'm going to be able to sleep very well tonight," admitted Memito. "Because my heart is never going to slow down."

“谢谢。布兰奇边说边把它塞进她的风衣里。 然后她摘下墨镜，骄傲地笑了。 “真的，祝贺大家。 你做到了！团队合作真是太棒了！”我们都挤成一团，跳上跳下。 “这是否意味着德拉加斯博士将无法统治世界？”梅托问。 “没错，”戴利说。 “你们都拯救了地球。” “还有我们的成绩。”菲尼克斯说。 “我会说的，”戴利说。 “那些又大又肥的鹅蛋0已经变成了几百。 你们在比赛中表现出了令人印象深刻的团队合作，直到最后一刻。” 小鸟对我笑了笑。我也对她笑了笑，会意地看了她一眼，眨眨眼。 “那太有趣了。”杰里米看了菲尼克斯、我和伯蒂一眼。 “你们太棒了。”哇。这些话我从没想过会从杰里米·罗嘴里说出来。 “我们都很震撼，”我说。然后我们互相击掌庆祝。 “我不认为我今晚能睡得很好，”梅托承认。 “因为我的心跳永远不会慢下来。”

"It's definitely a rush," I admitted. "So much science." "And just plain fun!" yelled Elijah.

“这绝对是一个匆忙的过程，”我承认。 “这么多科学。”以利亚叫道：“就是好玩！”
