8. This Means War!

8 This Means War! After Droney kidnapped Mr. Klutz, we all ran inside. We closed the door of the Fab Lab behind us. "Quick, lock the door!" said Miss Aker. "Droney could come back any minute!" I was all out of breath and panting, which means I was wearing pants.

这意味着战争！Droney绑架了kutz先生后，我们都跑了进去。 我们关上了身后Fab实验室的门。 “快，把门锁上！”阿克小姐说。 “约翰尼随时都可能回来！”我上气不接下气，气喘吁吁，也就是说我穿着裤子。

"We've got to do something!" shouted Emily. "What are we gonna do?" asked Ryan. "We have to rescue Mr. Klutz," said Neil. "To do that," said Miss Aker, "we're going to have to take drastic measures." "Like what?" we all asked. "The only thing we can do," said Miss Aker. "We're going to have to... destroy Droney." "GASP!" we all gasped. We had worked so hard to make Droney, it would be a shame to destroy it. But Miss Aker was right. There was no choice. Suddenly, we heard a knock at the door of the Fab Lab. "Don't open that door!" I shouted. "Why not?" asked Andrea. "In scary movies," I explained,

“我们得做点什么！”爱米丽喊道。 “我们该怎么办？”瑞恩问。 尼尔说：“我们必须拯救克鲁茨先生。” “要做到这一点，”阿克小姐说，“我们必须采取严厉的措施。” “比如什么？”我们都问。 “这是我们唯一能做的，”阿克小姐说。 “我们将不得不…… 摧毁Droney。”“喘气！”我们都倒吸了一口气。 我们如此努力地制作了《Droney》，毁掉它太可惜了。 但阿克小姐是对的。我别无选择。 突然，我们听到有人敲Fab实验室的门。 “别打开那扇门！”我叫道。 “为什么不？”安德烈问。“在恐怖电影里，”我解释道，

"whenever there's a knock on a door and they open it, some maniac comes in. Droney might be hovering right outside the door!" "That's ridiculous, Arlo," said Andrea. "There's no maniac on the other side of the door. Right, Miss Aker?" Miss Aker went over and opened the door slowly. And you'll never believe in a million hundred years who was standing there. I'm not going to tell you. Okay, okay, I'll tell you. It was Officer Spence, our school security guard! "Officer Spence!" we all shouted.

“每当有人敲门，他们打开门，就会有疯子进来。 无人机可能就在门外盘旋！”“这太荒唐了，阿乐。”安德烈说。 “门的另一边没有疯子。 对吧，阿克尔小姐？”阿克尔小姐走过去，慢慢地打开了门。 你永远也不会相信是谁站在那里。 我不会告诉你的。 好吧，好吧，我告诉你。 是斯宾塞警官，我们学校的保安！“斯宾塞警官！”

"We're so glad you're here," said Miss Aker. "Duty calls!" said Officer Spence. Me and the guys started giggling because Officer Spence said "duty," which sounds just like "doody" even though they're spelled differently.* "Officer Spence will know what to do," said Andrea. "He's a trained policeman." "What's the problem?" asked Officer

“我们很高兴你能来，”阿克小姐说。 “职责召唤！”斯宾塞警官说。 我和伙计们开始咯咯笑，因为斯宾塞警官说了“duty”，听起来就像“doody”，尽管它们的拼写不同。“斯宾塞警官知道该怎么做，”安德烈说。 “他是个训练有素的警察。” “有什么问题吗？”警官问

Spence. "We made a robot drone that shoots marshmallows," explained Miss Aker. "It kidnapped Mr. Klutz and took him away. The drone says it is principal for life, and it wants to take over the world." "Hmmmm," said Officer Spence, as if this sort of thing happened all the time. "That's the problem with robot drones. They always want to take over the world." I guess that's the first rule of robot drones. "What should we do?" asked Alexia. "Well," said Officer Spence, "the only way to stop a bad guy shooting marshmallows is with a good guy shooting marshmallows." "We're makers, right?" said Miss Aker. "We can make marshmallow shooters! It's easy! We need to make as many as we can, and as quickly as we can

斯宾塞。“我们制作了一架会射棉花糖的无人机，”阿克小姐解释说。 “它绑架了克鲁茨先生，把他带走了。 无人机说它是生命的主宰，它想要统治世界。” “嗯，”斯宾塞警官说，好像这种事经常发生似的。 “这就是机器人无人机的问题。 他们总是想要统治世界。” 我想这是无人驾驶飞机的第一条规则。 “我们该怎么办？”亚历克西娅问。 “嗯，”斯宾塞警官说，“阻止坏人射击棉花糖的唯一方法就是让好人射击棉花糖。” “我们是创造者，对吧？”阿克小姐说。 “我们可以做棉花糖射击游戏！”很容易!我们需要尽可能多、尽可能快地生产

before Droney comes back." "Yeah!" we all shouted. Miss Aker had a big box filled with PVC pipe, those plastic tubes that plumbers use on sinks. She showed us how to cut the PVC pipe and tape the pieces together to make a cool-looking marshmallow shooter. Everybody pitched in, and we rushed to make a marshmallow shooter for each of us. "This means war!" I said as I put my PVC pipe together. "I don't approve of violence," Andrea said, "but desperate times call for desperate measures."

在Droney回来之前。” “耶！”我们都喊道。阿克小姐有一个大盒子，里面装满了聚氯乙烯管，即水管工在水槽上使用的塑料管。 她教我们如何切割PVC管，并把它们粘在一起，做成一个看起来很酷的棉花糖射击。 大家都忙了起来，我们赶紧给每个人做了一个棉花糖射击糖。 “这意味着战争！”我一边说一边把PVC管组装起来。 “我不赞成暴力，”安德里亚说，“但绝望的时刻需要绝望的手段。”
