6. Meet Mr. Slug

Chapter 6 Meet Mr. Slug The next day was Friday. After we pledged the allegiance, it was time for science class. Our science teacher is Mr. Docker. He has a car that runs on potatoes. Mr. Docker is off his rocker. When we got to the science room, Mr. Docker was talking to a guy I never saw before. "I'd like you to meet Mr. Harrison," Mr. Docker told us. "He's the new tech guy for our school." "Tech guy?" we all asked. "What's a tech guy?" "I fix things that are broken," said Mr. Harrison. "Computers, copy machines, telephones. I build things, too." Mr. Harrison was tall and skinny. He had

第六章遇见鼻涕虫先生第二天是星期五。 我们宣誓效忠后，就该上科学课了。 我们的科学老师是多克先生。 他有一辆以土豆为燃料的汽车。 多克先生精神失常了。 当我们到达科学室时，多克先生正在和一个我从未见过的人说话。 “我想让你们见见哈里森先生，”多克先生告诉我们。 “他是我们学校新来的技术人员。” “搞技术的？”我们都问。“什么是技术人员？”“我修理坏了的东西，”哈里森说。 “电脑、复印机、电话。 我也会造东西。”哈里森先生又高又瘦。 他有

weird hair and one of those plastic pocket protectors on his shirt with a bunch of pens sticking out of it. His pants were too short. What a nerd! "Mr. Harrison and I built something together," said Mr. Docker. Mr. Harrison took a remote control out of his pocket and pushed a button. And you'll never believe what happened next. A robot came walking out of the closet! "We want to introduce you to Mr. Slug," said Mr. Docker. Mr. Slug walked to the front of the class, bumping into a few desks along the way. He didn't look like any robot I ever saw. He had a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, a can of beer in one hand, and a bag of potato chips in his other hand. His eyes were crossed. Mr. Slug was a mess. "You shouldn't have cigarettes and beer

奇怪的发型，衬衫上的塑料口袋保护器里面还插着一堆笔。 他的裤子太短了。真是个书呆子！“先生。 哈里森和我一起创造了一些东西，”多克先生说。 哈里森先生从口袋里掏出一个遥控器，按了一下按钮。 你绝对不会相信接下来发生了什么。 一个机器人从壁橱里走了出来！“我们想把你介绍给鼻涕虫先生，”多克先生说。 鼻涕虫先生走到教室前面，一路上撞到了几张桌子。 他和我见过的任何机器人都不一样。 他嘴里叼着一支烟，一只手拿着一罐啤酒，另一只手拿着一袋薯片。 他的眼睛交叉着。鼻涕虫先生一团糟。 “你不应该抽烟和喝酒

in school," said Andrea. "It's a bad influence on children." "Yes, we know," said Mr. Docker. "Ms. Leakey inspired us to build Mr. Slug. We wanted to show what happens to people who smoke and drink and eat poorly." "Does Mr. Slug talk?" I asked. "Sure," said Mr. Harrison. "Mr. Slug, how… are… you… feeling… today?"

在学校，”安德烈说。“这对孩子们有不好的影响。” “是的，我们知道，”多克先生说。 “利基女士启发我们制作了鼻涕虫先生。 我们想展示吸烟、喝酒和饮食不良的人会发生什么。” “鼻涕虫先生会说话吗？”我问。 “当然可以，”哈里森先生说。 “段塞先生,…………你…………今天感觉如何?”

Mr. Slug had a speaker on the side of his head. He made a sound like a cough. Then he coughed again. Then he had a coughing

斯拉格先生的头部侧面有一个扬声器。 他发出一种咳嗽的声音。 然后他又咳嗽了。然后他咳嗽起来

fit. "OH… I… FEEL… LOUSY," Mr. Slug said in a computery voice. "I… AM… SO… TIRED. NEED… TO… LIE… DOWN. WHAT… DAY… IS… IT?" Mr. Slug stumbled around the front of the room. Then he let out a burp. "He doesn't sound very good," I said. "He sounds like he's gonna die." "Does Mr. Slug run on batteries?" asked Michael. "No," said Mr. Docker. "He runs on potatoes." That figured. "Check this out," said Mr. Harrison. He opened a door in Mr. Slug's chest. You could look right into his body and see his insides. It was cool. "Here's Mr. Slug's heart," said Mr. Harrison, "and here are his lungs. See how

健康。“哦……我……感觉……糟透了，”斯拉格先生用电脑般的声音说。 “我……太……累了。”我需要躺下。 今天……星期……几……天？”鼻涕虫先生踉踉跄跄地在房间前面走着。 然后他打了个嗝。“他听起来不太好，”我说。 “听起来他好像要死了。” “鼻涕虫先生靠电池驱动吗？”迈克尔问。 “不，”多克先生说。“他以土豆为食。” 这算。“看看这个，”哈里森先生说。 他打开了鼻涕虫先生胸腔里的一扇门。 你可以直视他的身体，看到他的内心。 很酷。“这是鼻涕虫先生的心脏，”哈里森先生说，“这是他的肺。 看看

black they are? That's what happens when you smoke cigarettes." Mr. Slug stumbled around the front of the room some more and then bumped into the whiteboard. "OH… MY… HEAD." Mr. Slug moaned. "So," said Mr. Docker. "Did you kids learn anything from Mr. Slug?" "Yeah," I said, "robots are cool!"

是黑色的吗？这就是你吸烟的后果。” 鼻涕虫先生又在房间前面踉跄了几步，然后撞到了白板上。 “哦……我的……头。”鼻涕虫先生呻吟道。 “是这样，”多克先生说。“你们从鼻涕虫先生那里学到了什么吗？”“是啊，”我说，“机器人很酷！”
