Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Lulu Emu and the art scientists were very excited. One of them got out a video camera. "This is a BIG DEAL moment in the history of art," said Lulu Emu. "Please tell us what Leonardo da Vinci's mysterious yellow blob means." "Imagine da Vinci in his studio," I said. "He has decided to paint a flower for the first time. He has never painted a flower before. He has a flower model to paint from. He does not realize that he is allergic to flowers.

第五章鸸鹋和艺术科学家们非常兴奋。 其中一人拿出了一台摄像机。 “这是艺术史上的一个重大时刻，”露露·埃姆说。 “请告诉我们列奥纳多·达·芬奇的神秘黄色斑点是什么意思。” “想象一下达芬奇在他的画室里，”我说。 他决定第一次画一朵花。 他以前从未画过花。 他有一个花模型供他作画。 他没有意识到他对花过敏。

"He has to sneeze! But his hands are full. He has a paintbrush in one hand. He has a paint tray in the other hand. He can't get out his hankie! "AH-CHOO! He sneezes right on the painting." "You mean," said Lulu Emu, "the yellow blob is a..." "Yes," I said. "It is Leonardo da Vinci's booger!" Lulu Emu groaned. The video camera was turned off. All of the art scientists grumbled and went back to their work. Except for one, who seemed very excited.

“他必须打喷嚏！”但是他很忙。 他一只手拿着画笔。 他另一只手里拿着一个油漆盘。 他拿不出他的手帕！“欠!他正好对着画打喷嚏。” “你是说，”鸸鹋璐璐说，“那个黄色的斑点是……” “是的，”我说。“这是达芬奇的鼻屎！”鸸鹋露露呻吟着。 摄像机被关掉了。 所有的艺术科学家都抱怨着回去工作了。 除了一个人，他看起来很兴奋。

"I'm in charge of the museum's Gallery of Mucus," he said, picking the yellow blob off the painting. "This will be our second-greatest exhibit, next to George Washington's earwax!" Lulu Emu looked sad. A tear rolled down her beautiful feathery face. "I'm sorry—" I started to say, but Nina gave me a hard push out the door.

“我负责博物馆的粘液画廊，”他说着，把画上的黄色斑点挑了下来。 “这将是我们第二大展览，仅次于乔治·华盛顿的耳垢！”鸸鹋露露看起来很伤心。 一滴眼泪从她美丽的羽毛脸上滚落下来。 “对不起——”我刚想说，但妮娜用力把我推出了门。
