Chapter 6

6 The stage, balloons, banners, and purple lights glided away. The Makers and Dr. Crisp were now standing in an empty room. "Whoa!" said Henry. "How did you do that? Are you sure you don't have superpowers?" he asked Dr. Crisp through squinted eyes. "Science is my superpower!" Dr. Crisp raised her fist in the air. Then she cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled, "Incoming!" BIZZAP!

舞台、气球、横幅和紫色的灯光缓缓飘散。 创客夫妇和克里斯普医生现在站在一间空屋子里。 “哇！”亨利说。“你是怎么做到的？” 你确定你没有超能力吗？” 透过眯着的眼睛，脆脆的。 “科学是我的超能力！”博士。 克里斯普在空中举起拳头。 然后她用手捂住嘴，喊道：“来了！”BIZZAP !

The Makers jumped out of the way as a large green bowl dropped from the ceiling. It landed with a thud. The bowl was huge!

一个绿色的大碗从天花板上掉下来，造物者们跳开了。 它砰的一声落在地上。那碗太大了！

"Where did that come from?" asked Pablo, searching the ceiling with his eyes. "Secret door number six," replied Dr. Crisp. "Now listen closely, Makers!" She bent down and cupped a hand around one of her ears. "This level is all about hearing." Violet smiled with her head tilted to the side. "I thought we were going to cook something. Like maybe a chocolate cake," she said. "And then taste it." Dr. Crisp laughed. "Sorry to burst your Bunsen burner. No tasting in this level." Then she opened her backpack and started pulling out a long roll of plastic wrap. "Stand back, Makers!" she grunted. After a few pulls, she finally got the whole thing out. It was even wider than the bowl! Then she pulled out a giant jar of jelly beans and a huge rubber band.

“那是从哪儿来的？”巴勃罗问，用眼睛搜寻着天花板。 “六号密门，”博士回答。 脆。“现在听好了，创客们！”她弯下腰，用一只手捂住一只耳朵。 “这个级别完全是关于听觉的。” 维奥莱特歪着头笑了。 “我以为我们要做点什么。 比如巧克力蛋糕，”她说。 “然后尝一尝。”克里斯普博士笑了。 “对不起，打碎了你的本生灯。 这一层没有品尝。” 然后她打开背包，开始拿出一长卷保鲜膜。 “制造者，退后！”她咕哝道。 拔了几下后，她终于把整个东西拔了出来。 它甚至比碗还宽！然后她拿出一大罐软糖和一根巨大的橡皮筋。

"Uh-oh," said Pablo, giggling. "The bands are back!" "I'm telling you, I need one of those backpacks!" added Violet. Dr. Crisp explained the level. "Inside each ear, you have a tiny flap of skin called an eardrum." "We have drums in our ears?" asked Henry, pulling on his costume sleeve. "That explains why it gets so noisy sometimes."

“哦哦，”巴勃罗咯咯地笑着说。 “乐队回来了！”“我告诉你，我需要一个这样的背包！”维奥莱特补充道。 克里斯普博士解释了这个水平。 “在每只耳朵里，都有一个叫做鼓膜的小皮肤瓣。” “我们耳朵里有鼓声吗？”亨利拉了拉他的戏服袖子，问道。 “这就解释了为什么有时候会这么吵。”

Dr. Crisp laughed. "Your eardrum isn't that kind of drum. But after this level, you'll understand how it got its name. You're going to make a model eardrum and then test it. To complete the level, you'll have to figure out how the eardrum detects sound." Dr. Crisp opened the Maker Manual to a page with a list of instructions. Then she raised both arms overhead. As she lowered them, she shouted, "Ready, set, MAKE!" First the Makers tore off a long piece of plastic wrap. Then they pulled the plastic tight and stretched it over the bowl. "Now all we have to do is fasten it with a rubber band," said Violet as she ran down the list of instructions with her finger. Pablo, Violet, and Henry each grabbed a side of the band. "Pull!" said Violet. The Makers stretched the band with all their might.

克里斯普博士笑了。“你的耳膜不是那种鼓。 过了这一关，你就会明白它的名字是怎么来的了。 你要做一个耳膜模型，然后测试它。 为了完成这个关卡，你必须弄清楚鼓膜是如何探测声音的。” 克里斯普博士把《制造者手册》翻到一页，上面有一系列说明。 然后她把双臂举过头顶。 当她放下它们时，她喊道：“准备，准备，制造！”首先，制作者撕下一长段保鲜膜。 然后他们把塑料布拉紧，把它盖在碗上。 “现在我们要做的就是用橡皮筋把它系紧，”维奥莱特一边说，一边用手指按下了说明书。 巴勃罗、维奥莱特和亨利各自抓着乐队的一边。 “拉！”维奥莱特说。造物主用尽了他们所有的力量。

"I think it's wide enough," said Pablo. Drops of sweat dotted his forehead. Violet's arms trembled. "Let's hurry!" "I'm not sure I can hold on much longer!" Pablo yelped. Just then, the band slipped from one of his hands. "Hold tight, Henry!" called Violet. "I'm trying!" he replied. Pablo wiped his forehead with his free hand. "Okay, got it," he said. The Makers carefully lifted and lowered the band around the bowl and plastic wrap. "Let go on three!" shouted Violet. "One, two, THREE!"

“我觉得够宽了，”巴勃罗说。 他的额头上布满了汗珠。 维奥莱特的手臂颤抖着。“我们快点!”“我不确定我还能坚持多久！”巴勃罗叫喊起来。 就在这时，手环从他的一只手上滑落。 “抓紧，亨利！”维奥莱特喊道。 “我正在努力！”他回答。巴勃罗用空着的那只手擦了擦额头。 “好的，明白了，”他说。制作者小心翼翼地把碗和保鲜膜周围的带子提起又放下。 “数到三就放手！”维奥莱特喊道。 “一，二，三！”
