10 W-B-0-L-B-B

CHAPTER 10 W-B-O-L-B-B Claire took J. C. to meet the neighbors. Kaz listened from inside Claire's bottle. Several of the closest neighbors said they'd noticed some wavy lines and strange voices coming through their TVs around five o'clock. But the two houses on either side of J. C.'s house seemed to have the most trouble. "I'm sorry if my radio is causing interference," J. C. said to Mrs. Jeffrey, David, and Ben as they stood on the Jeffreys' front porch. "Would you mind turning on your television right now? I'd like to see whether my radio is causing your trouble."

第十章克莱尔带着J。 C.去见邻居。卡兹在克莱尔的奶瓶里听着。 几个最近的邻居说，他们在五点左右注意到电视里传出了一些波浪线和奇怪的声音。 但是J两边的两个房子。 C。他的房子似乎遇到了最大的麻烦。 “如果我的收音机造成干扰，我很抱歉，”J。 c对杰弗里太太、大卫和本说，这时他们正站在杰弗里家的前廊上。 “你介意现在打开电视吗？” 我想看看我的收音机是否给你造成了麻烦。”

"Sure," Mrs. Jeffrey said. "I'd like to know, too. Whatever's causing it, I was pretty sure it wasn't a ghost." She ruffled Ben's hair. "Ghost?" J. C. chuckled. "Did you think I was a ghost, little man?" Ben shrugged and hid behind his mom. J. C. grinned. "If my radio is causing interference, I have some ideas for fixing it," he

“当然，”杰弗里太太说。 “我也想知道。不管是什么引起的，我很确定那不是鬼。” 她拨弄本的头发。“鬼?”J。 c .咯咯地笑了。“你以为我是鬼吗，小家伙？”本耸耸肩，躲在妈妈身后。 J. C.咧嘴一笑。“如果我的收音机造成干扰，我有一些解决办法，”他说

told Mrs. Jeffrey. Then he turned to Claire. "Would you like to see what amateur radio is all about?" "Sure," Claire said, hugging her bottle to her hip. "Can I see, too?" David asked. "Me too!" Ben begged. "Why don't you stay here with me, Ben, and we'll see if we get interference on our TV," Mrs. Jeffrey said. Ben groaned. But then his face brightened. "Can we see if the voice comes through the organ again?" "Yes, we'll turn on both the organ and the TV and see what happens," Mrs. Jeffrey said, leading Ben back inside the house. Claire and David walked next door with J. C. Once inside, J. C. led them to a small room off the kitchen. "Welcome to my shack," he said, waving his hand around the room. It had one large table with

我告诉杰弗里太太。然后他转向克莱尔。 “你想看看业余无线电是怎么回事吗？”“当然，”克莱尔说，把她的瓶子抱在臀部。 “我也能看见吗？”大卫问。 “我也是!”本请求。“你为什么不和我呆在一起呢，本，我们看看我们的电视会不会受到干扰，”杰弗里太太说。 本呻吟着。但随后他的脸亮了起来。 “我们能看看声音是不是又从器官里传出来了吗？”“是的，我们把风琴和电视都打开，看看会发生什么。”杰弗里太太说着，把本带回了屋里。 克莱尔和大卫和J走在隔壁。 C.进去后，J. C.把他们带到厨房旁边的一个小房间。 “欢迎来到我的小屋，”他一边说，一边在房间里挥着手。 它有一张大桌子

a bunch of electronics stuff. There wasn't much else. A small window looked out into the backyard. "Why do you call it a shack?" David asked. J. C. grinned. "That's what we hams call our radio setup," he said as he sat down heavily on the stool. "Hams?" Claire scrunched up her nose. "That's another word for amateur radio operators," he said. J. C. turned on one of the machines, and Claire and Ben stood on either side of him. That machine was way bigger than any other radio Kaz had ever seen. And there was no music, just talking. Sometimes the talking was hard to understand, especially when J. C. turned the big dial. One voice faded and another came on. He turned the dial a little farther and then stopped. The radio was silent. "It's not five o'clock yet, but let's see if any of my friends are listening," J. C. said as he reached

一堆电子设备。 没有什么别的了。从一扇小窗户可以看到后院。 “你为什么叫它窝棚？”大卫问。 J. C.咧嘴一笑。“这就是我们业余爱好者所说的无线电装置，”他说着重重地坐在凳子上。 “火腿?”克莱尔皱起了鼻子。 “那是业余无线电爱好者的另一种说法，”他说。 j。c。打开了其中一台机器，克莱尔和本分别站在他的两边。 那台机器比卡兹见过的任何一台收音机都要大得多。 没有音乐，只是聊天。 有时谈话很难理解，特别是当J。 C.转动大表盘。一个声音消失了，另一个声音响起了。 他把表盘转得更远一点，然后停了下来。 收音机里一片寂静。“现在还没到5点，但让我看看我的朋友们有没有在听，”J。 c边说边走到

for a microphone. "K-A-O-I-A-O... K-A-O-I-A O... K-A-O-I-A-O, this is W-B-O-L-B-B calling. Little Boy Blue calling K-A-O-I-A-O." "What's Little Boy Blue?" Claire asked. "That's me." J. C. grinned. "I'm Little Boy Blue. Bs are hard to understand on the radio. A B sounds like D, E, G, P, T, or V. Sometimes I say Lima, Bravo, Bravo, but Little Boy Blue sounds more interesting, doesn't it?" Claire and David agreed that it did. J. C. turned back to his microphone. "K-A-O-I- A-O... K-A-O-I-A-O... This is W-B-O-L-B-B. Are you around, Donna?" A couple of seconds later, a scratchy lady's voice came over the radio. "W-B-O-L-B-B. This is K-A-O-I-A-O. Wasn't expecting to hear from you until dinnertime." "Let's go see if J. C. is on our TV or our organ right now," David said. "Okay. Keep talking, Mr. Hill," Claire said as she held tight to her water bottle. "We'll be right

为了一个麦克风。“K-A-O-I-A-O… K-A-O-I-A啊……K-A-O-I-A-O，我是W-B-O-L-B-B。 小男孩蓝叫K-A-O-I-A-O。” “小男孩蓝是什么？”克莱尔问道。 “那是我。”J. C.咧嘴一笑。 “我是小男孩布鲁。b在收音机里很难听懂。 A B听起来像D、E、G、P、T或V。 有时候我说‘利马，好，好’，但是‘小男孩蓝’听起来更有趣，不是吗？”克莱尔和大卫都同意。 J. C.转身对着麦克风。 “K-A-O-I——光学……K-A-O-I-A-O…… 这是W-B-O-L-B-B。你在吗，唐娜？”几秒钟后，收音机里传来一个沙哑的女士的声音。 “W-B-O-L-B-B。这是K-A-O-I-A-O。 我还以为要到晚饭时间才能收到你的消息呢。” “我们去看看j.c.现在是不是在我们的电视或风琴上，”大卫说。 “好吧。接着说，希尔先生。”克莱尔一边说，一边紧紧抓着她的水瓶。 “我们是对的

back." She and David ran next door. David's garage door stood open, so they went into the house through the garage. "It's coming through the TV and the organ again. And it's not even five o'clock!" Ben exclaimed as soon as David and Claire walked into the living room. Kaz noticed that the table lamp was on, too. They saw the lines on the TV, and they heard J. C.'s garbled voice coming through both the TV and the organ. Now that they'd actually met J. C., they recognized the voice as his. It didn't sound nearly as scary anymore. In fact, it sounded kind of funny.

回来。”她和大卫跑到隔壁。 大卫的车库门开着，所以他们从车库进去了。 “它又通过电视和风琴传来了。 现在还不到五点钟呢！”大卫和克莱尔一走进客厅，本就叫了起来。 卡兹注意到台灯也亮着。 他们看到了电视上的台词，他们听到了J。 C。电视和管风琴同时传来他那模糊的声音。 既然他们真的见过J。 C，他们认出声音是他的。 听起来不再那么可怕了。 事实上，这听起来有点好笑。
