Chapter 3

3 "What just happened?" squeaked Skylar. Violet and Pablo snapped their heads toward the twins. "I think something is wrong with Claire," said Devin. He waved his hand in front of her face. No response. "You guys aren't frozen?" Pablo said with raised eyebrows. "Dr. Crisp must want you to come along!" said Violet. "We're going to have so much fun."

“刚才发生了什么事？”斯盖勒尖声问道。 维奥莱特和巴勃罗朝那对双胞胎啪地一声摇头。 “我觉得克莱尔有点不对劲，”德文说。 他在她面前挥挥手。 没有回应。“你们没冻僵吧？”巴勃罗扬起眉毛说。 “克里斯普医生一定想让你一起去！”维奥莱特说。 “我们会玩得很开心的。”

"What's wrong with everyone?" asked Devin. "It's what happens when the portal opens," replied Violet. "The what?" asked the twins. "The portal. That's how we get to the Maker Maze," said Pablo, scanning the gym with his eyes. "The maker who?" repeated Skylar and Devin. "The Maker Maze! It's like a makerspace," said Violet, "but way cooler." She rubbed her hands together. "We get to do real science challenges. You're going to love it. Maker's

“大家都怎么了？”德文问。 “这就是传送门打开时发生的事情。”维奥莱特回答。 “什么？”双胞胎问。 “门户。这就是我们去制造者迷宫的方式，”巴勃罗说，用他的眼睛扫视着体育馆。 “那个制造者是谁？”斯盖勒和戴文重复道。 “创客迷宫！它就像一个创客空间，”维奥莱特说，“但酷多了。” 她搓着手。 “我们要做真正的科学挑战。 你会喜欢的。制造商的

honor!" Violet held her three middle fingers down in the shape of an M. "There it is!" said Pablo suddenly. One of the microscopes was glowing with a bright purple light surrounding it. Violet turned to Skylar and Devin. "You're coming, right?" They paused.

荣誉!”维奥莱特把她的三个中指按成M的形状。 “在那儿！”巴勃罗突然说。 其中一台显微镜周围闪烁着明亮的紫光。 维奥莱特转向斯盖勒和戴文。 “你会来的，对吧？”他们停了下来。

"Well, I don't really get where we're going but…," said Skylar. "It sounds like fun!" finished Devin. "Let's go!" they said together. Skylar put her sketch pad in her pocket. They took off running. "I've never seen anything like this," said Skylar as they reached the shimmering microscope. "Want to feel something cool?" asked Pablo. "Touch it." Skylar ran her fingers through the light. BIZZAP! She giggled. "It tingles. Do you want to try?" she asked her brother. Devin nodded and reached out his hand. Suddenly, Skylar's eyes grew wide. "Help!" she cried. Her arm was being sucked through the microscope! "Hang on, sis!" said Devin, grabbing her other arm. "Don't worry!" shouted Pablo. "This is how we get there!"

“嗯，我真的不知道我们要去哪里，但是……”Skylar说。 “听起来很有趣！”戴文说完。 “我们走吧！”他们一起说。 斯盖勒把速写本放在口袋里。 他们跑了起来。“我从来没有见过这样的东西，”当他们走到闪闪发光的显微镜前时，斯凯拉说。 “想感受一些凉爽的东西吗？”巴勃罗问。 “碰它。”斯盖勒用手指照了照灯光。 BIZZAP !她咯咯笑了。“这刺痛。 你想试试吗？”她问她哥哥。 德文点点头，伸出手来。 突然，斯盖勒睁大了眼睛。 “救命！”她喊道。她的手臂被吸进了显微镜！“坚持住，姐姐！”戴文抓住她的另一只胳膊说。 “别担心！”巴勃罗喊道。 “我们就是这样到达那里的！”

But Devin was too scared to listen. He clung tightly to his sister, and they were both pulled through the microscope. Violet and Pablo jumped in next. After a few seconds of falling, they all tumbled onto the floor of the Maker Maze. Everything was just how Violet and Pablo remembered. There were lab tables with rows of strange plants and flasks of colorful, bubbling liquid. Creepy bugs with too many legs to count zoomed around in big jars. In the corner, a group of robots measured purple powder onto a scale. And next to a huge microscope was a long hallway lined with doors. Out of nowhere appeared a tall woman with wild rainbow hair. She wore a white lab coat with

但戴文害怕得听不进去。 他紧紧地抱着妹妹，两人都被拉过显微镜。 维奥莱特和巴勃罗也跳了进去。 几秒钟后，他们都倒在了创客迷宫的地板上。 一切都是维奥莱特和巴勃罗记忆中的样子。 实验室的桌子上放着一排排奇怪的植物，还有一瓶瓶五颜六色、冒着泡泡的液体。 长着数不清的腿的令人毛骨悚然的虫子在大罐子里飞来飞去。 在角落里，一群机器人在磅秤上测量紫色粉末。 在一个巨大的显微镜旁边是一条长长的走廊，两边都是门。 不知从哪儿冒出来一个高个子女人，一头乱蓬蓬的彩虹色头发。 她穿着白色的实验服

bright purple pants and had a golden lab notebook tucked under her arm. "Welcome, Makers!" she said with a big smile. "You two must be Skylar and Devin." The twins stood still and stared—a little like zombies. "This is Dr. Crisp. She runs the place," said Pablo. Dr. Crisp took a pencil from behind her ear and pointed to the name tag on her lab coat. She took the Maker Manual from under her arm. "Wow!" said Skylar. She reached out to touch the shiny golden book. BIZZAP! "This glittery gal is going to send us on a science adventure!" said Dr. Crisp. "What would you Makers like to learn about today?" She opened the book to a page with a large question mark on it.

她穿着亮紫色的裤子，腋下夹着一本金色的实验笔记本。 “欢迎，创客们！”她笑着说。 “你们两个一定是斯盖勒和戴文吧。” 那对双胞胎一动不动地站着，盯着看——有点像僵尸。 “我是克里斯普医生。她经营着这个地方，”巴勃罗说。 克里斯普博士从耳后拿出一支铅笔，指着她实验服上的名牌。 她从腋下拿起制造者手册。 “哇！”斯盖勒说。她伸出手去摸那本金光闪闪的书。 BIZZAP !“这个闪闪发光的女孩将带我们进行一次科学冒险！” 脆。“你们造物主今天想学些什么？”她把书翻到有一个大大的问号的那一页。
