Chapter 4

4 "Ouch!" One of Violet's curls was tangled in a tree branch. Pablo went over to help her. "This doesn't look like a maze. We're in the Newburg Forest," said Violet. "How did we get here?" Door number five was gone. They were standing in the middle of a trail. Dr. Crisp tapped the screen on her watch three times and swiped left. The forest slid away. They were in a huge white room, and door number five was behind them. "The Maze can make a clone of any place in the world!" Dr. Crisp explained. "But

4“哎哟!”维奥莱特的一个卷发被一根树枝缠住了。 巴勃罗过去帮助她。 “这看起来不像迷宫。 我们在纽堡森林里。”维奥莱特说。 “我们是怎么到这儿来的？”五号门不见了。 他们正站在小路中央。 克里斯普在手表屏幕上敲了三下，然后向左滑动。 森林渐渐消失了。他们在一个巨大的白色房间里，五号门在他们身后。 “迷宫可以克隆世界上任何地方！”博士。 脆解释道。“但

it's only a copy." She tapped her watch three times and swiped right. The forest glided back into view. "Wow!" the trio said all at once. This was a special makerspace. "I never thought I would have such a fun first day of school!" said Deepak. "Yeah, me neither," agreed Pablo. He smiled and patted Deepak on the back. The group followed the trail until it ended at an open field. "Here we are!" said Dr. Crisp. "This is it?" asked Violet. She squinted and pushed a few lose kinks of hair out of her face. She saw nothing but trees, grass, and a few scattered dandelions.

这只是一个副本。”她敲了三下手表，然后向右滑动。 森林又重新出现在人们的视野中。 “哇！”三人异口同声地说。 这是一个特殊的创客空间。 迪帕克说：“我从没想过开学第一天会这么开心！” “是啊，我也是，”巴勃罗同意道。 他微笑着拍了拍迪帕克的背。 这群人沿着小路一直走到一片开阔的田野。 “我们到了！”克里斯普博士说。 “就这样吗？”维奥莱特问。 她眯起眼睛，拨开脸上几绺散乱的头发。 除了树、草和一些散落的蒲公英，她什么也没看见。

BOOM" SNAPY WHIZI ZAP! Pablo, Violet, and Deepak squeezed their eyes shut. A flash of purple light blinded them. When the light faded, there was a giant game board on the ground that looked like a tablet screen. It was divided into four squares. Pablo pointed his foot toward one of them. It lit up with a tap of his toe.

“砰！”巴勃罗、维奥莱特和迪帕克紧紧地闭上了眼睛。 一道紫光闪瞎了他们的眼睛。 当光线消失时，地上有一个巨大的游戏板，看起来像平板电脑的屏幕。 它被分成四个正方形。 巴勃罗用脚指着其中一个。 他的脚趾轻轻一碰，灯就亮了。

Dr. Crisp explained the rules. "Listen up, Makers! A hologram of a living thing from the Newburg Forest ecosystem will appear in the center of the board." Dr. Crisp pointed at the trio with her pencil. "It's up to you to decide what role it plays in the forest food chain. Then you have to move the hologram to the correct square." Floating words and symbols hovered over each section of the board:

克里斯普博士解释了这些规则。 “造物主们，听好了！”纽堡森林生态系统的生物全息图将出现在板的中央。” 克里斯普博士用铅笔指着这三人。 “这取决于你来决定它在森林食物链中扮演什么角色。 然后你必须把全息图移动到正确的方块上。” 浮动的文字和符号在每块板上盘旋；

Consumer producer Decomposer scavenger. "One more thing," Dr. Crisp added. "You won't be able to move the hologram unless you all agree on which square it belongs in. Whenever you're ready, Makers!" The word go appeared on their watches. They all tapped them at the same time.

消费者生产者分解者清道夫。 “还有一件事，”克里斯普博士补充说。 “你们无法移动全息图，除非你们都同意它属于哪个方格。 只要你准备好了，造物主！”“go”这个词出现在他们的手表上。 他们同时敲了一下。
