Chapter 5

5 A hologram of a fox hovered over the middle of the board. "This one is easy!" said Violet. "Foxes are predators. They hunt other animals. It must be a consumer." Deepak and Pablo nodded. Violet reached for the fox. "Be careful!" Deepak shouted. Pablo laughed. ".Qué pasa? It's a hologram, remember?" Deepak blushed with embarrassment. Violet pulled Pablo close and whispered, "Why are you being so mean?"

一只狐狸的全息图在棋盘中央盘旋。 “这个很简单！”维奥莱特说。 “狐狸是食肉动物。他们捕猎其他动物。 它必须是一个消费者。”迪帕克和巴勃罗点了点头。 维奥莱特伸手去抓狐狸。 “小心!”迪帕克喊道。 巴勃罗笑了。＂．怎麽了? 这是全息图，记得吗？”迪帕克尴尬地脸红了。 维奥莱特把巴勃罗拉近，小声说：“你为什么这么刻薄？”

"I'm not," Pablo replied. He shook her off. As he walked toward the fox, it growled. "Whoa!" Pablo cried. Violet and Deepak laughed quietly. "Don't worry, Pablo!" said Dr. Crisp "It can't hurt you!" She signed the Maker's honor. Pablo took a deep breath and grabbed the fox. BIZZAP! He put it in the consumer square. The square flashed purple. RING, DING, DONG! "One down, three to go!" shouted Dr. Crisp. "Hurry, hurry, Makers! Don't be too slow!" A group of mushrooms appeared.

“我不是，”巴勃罗回答。他把她甩掉了。 当他走向狐狸时，狐狸咆哮着。 “哇!”巴勃罗哭了。维奥莱特和迪帕克静静地笑了。 “别担心，巴勃罗！” “它不会伤害你的！”她签署了造物主的荣誉。 巴勃罗深吸了一口气，抓住了狐狸。 BIZZAP !他把它放在消费者区。 广场上闪着紫色的光。 叮，叮，叮！“干掉一个，还剩三个！” 脆。“快点，快点，造物主！”别太慢了！”一群蘑菇出现了。

"Those must be producers!" said Pablo. "I don't know," said Violet. She explained that mushrooms grew in the compost pile in her backyard. "My dad says the mushrooms help break down the compost." "I think they're decomposers," suggested Deepak. Violet agreed. "But mushrooms are plants. And plants are producers." Pablo tapped his foot impatiently.

“那些一定是制片人！”巴勃罗说。 “我不知道，”维奥莱特说。 她解释说，蘑菇生长在她家后院的堆肥堆里。 “我爸爸说蘑菇有助于分解堆肥。” “我认为它们是分解者，”迪帕克说。 紫色表示同意。“但是蘑菇是植物。 植物是生产者。” 巴勃罗不耐烦地跺着脚。

"Actually, mushrooms are a kind of fungus," said Deepak quietly. "I learned about them at science camp over the summer." But Pablo wouldn't give in. "Come on, Pablo. It's two against one. We can't move them unless you agree with us," Violet said. Pablo shrugged. Violet tried to grab the hologram. Her hands passed right through the bunch of mushrooms. Pablo checked his watch. One hundred Maker Minutes left. "Fine," he mumbled. "Mushrooms are decomposers."

“实际上，蘑菇是一种真菌。”迪帕克平静地说。 “我是在暑假的科学营里了解到它们的。” 但巴勃罗不肯让步。 “来吧，巴勃罗。现在是二对一。 除非你同意，否则我们不能移动它们。”维奥莱特说。 巴勃罗耸耸肩。维奥莱特想抢全息图。 她的手正好穿过那束蘑菇。 巴勃罗看了看表。还剩100分钟。 “好吧，”他咕哝着。“蘑菇是分解者。”

Violet reached for the mushrooms. This time she could pick them up. RING, DING, DONG! A fern plant appeared on the game board. That was easy. "Producer!" the trio yelled out. Deepak set the fern in the producer square.

维奥莱特伸手去拿蘑菇。 这次她可以把它们捡起来了。 叮，叮，叮！游戏板上出现了一株蕨类植物。 这很简单。“制片人！”三人喊道。 迪帕克把蕨类植物放在生产者广场上。

Then a hologram of a crow popped up. There was only one square left. "Crows are scavengers?" Pablo asked aloud. "I once saw a bunch of crows eating roadkill," added Violet. "It was pretty gross." RING, DING, DONG! The whole board game started flashing purple. "Bada, bam, boom!" said Dr. Crisp as she played an imaginary drum set. "You've mastered the first level, Makers!" She hopped up on the board and gave everyone high fives with her invisible drumstick. Violet and Deepak hugged. Pablo was happy they beat the level, too. But for some reason, he didn't really feel like celebrating. "Okay, Makers, let's see where the Maze sends us next!" said Dr. Crisp.

然后出现了一只乌鸦的全息图。 只剩下一个方块了。 “乌鸦是食腐动物？”巴勃罗大声问道。 “我曾经看到一群乌鸦在吃路上被撞死的动物，”维奥莱特补充道。 “太恶心了。”叮，叮，叮！整个棋盘游戏开始闪烁紫色。 “砰，砰，砰！” 脆脆的，就像她在玩假想的架子鼓一样。 “你已经掌握了第一关，创客！”她跳上跳板，用她隐形的鸡腿和大家击掌。 维奥莱特和迪帕克拥抱在一起。巴勃罗也很高兴他们通关了。 但出于某种原因，他并不想庆祝。 “好吧，创客们，让我们看看迷宫下一步会把我们送到哪里去！” 脆。
