Chapter 4

4 "Magnificent Maker Watches ready?" shouted Dr. Crisp. She stood in front of the door with her hand on the knob. "Yes!" replied the Makers, each holding an arm in the air. These special watches appeared on their wrists when they were about to start the challenge. They used them for all kinds of things in the Maker Maze, like shooting lasers, recording

“华丽的制造商手表准备好了吗？” 脆。她站在门前，手放在门把手上。 “是的！”造物主回答道，每人在空中举起一只手臂。 当他们准备开始挑战时，这些特殊的手表就会出现在他们的手腕上。 他们在创客迷宫里用它们做各种事情，比如发射激光，录音

their answers, scanning holograms—and most importantly, keeping track of time. "Good!" said Dr. Crisp. "We'll be traveling pretty far!" The Makers needed to finish the challenge in less than one hundred twenty Maker Minutes if they wanted to return to the Maze for more fun. Dr. Crisp slowly opened the door, and the Makers' watches vibrated and glowed. As Pablo, Violet, and Deepak walked through door number fourteen, their mouths dropped open. Rotating slowly in the middle of the wide room was a model solar system! In the center shone a bright yellow sun. Around it circled the eight different planets. And in between the orange glow of Mars and the stormy surface of Jupiter, tons of different-sized rocks floated like confetti.

他们的答案是，扫描全息图——最重要的是，记录时间。 “太好了！”克里斯普博士说。“我们要去很远的地方！”如果制作者想要回到迷宫中获得更多乐趣，他们就需要在120分钟内完成挑战。 克里斯普博士慢慢地打开了门，创客们的手表震动着，发出了光。 当巴勃罗、维奥莱特和迪帕克走过14号门时，他们的嘴张得大大的。 在宽敞的房间中央缓慢旋转的是一个太阳系模型！在中心闪耀着明亮的黄色太阳。 八颗不同的行星围着它转。 在火星的橙色光芒和木星的暴风雨表面之间，数以吨计的不同大小的岩石像五彩纸屑一样漂浮着。

Pablo pointed. "That must be the asteroid belt!" He definitely remembered reading about that. "It's the place in our solar system where most of the asteroids are found." Violet reached out to run her fingertips through the edge of the model solar system.

巴勃罗。“那一定是小行星带！”他肯定记得读过这篇文章。 “这是我们太阳系中发现大多数小行星的地方。” 维奥莱特伸出手，用指尖触摸着太阳系模型的边缘。

BIZZAP! "Okay, Makers. Listen up! For this level, we're going to get up close and personal with different space objects. But first, we'll need some special equipment!" Dr. Crisp pressed a button on the side of her watch and shouted, "Maker Maze, activate space suits!" The room immediately went dark, and the floor began to vibrate. Suddenly, a blast of purple light shot out of the model sun and blinded the Makers. BOOM SNAP BWHIZ SAP After a few seconds, they were able to open their eyes again. The model solar system was gone. Pablo slowly lifted his arms to examine

BIZZAP !“好的,制造商。听好了!在这个关卡中，我们将与不同的空间物体进行近距离接触。 但首先，我们需要一些特殊的设备！”博士。 克里斯普按下手表侧面的一个按钮，喊道：“迷宫制造者，启动太空服！”房间里立刻黑了下来，地板开始震动。 突然，一道紫光从太阳模型中射出，把制造者们弄瞎了。 几秒钟后，他们又睁开了眼睛。 太阳系模型消失了。 巴勃罗慢慢地抬起双臂仔细检查

them. He patted his chest with his hands. Then he touched the helmet now covering his face. "This is…," Pablo began. But he couldn't find the word to finish his sentence. "AMAZING!" Violet yelled as she jumped in the air.

他们。他用手拍着自己的胸膛。 然后他摸了摸遮住脸的头盔。 “这是……”巴勃罗开始说。 但他找不到合适的词来结束他的话。 “神奇!”维奥莉特大叫着跳了起来。

The Makers were now wearing purple space suits! A black M was drawn on each of their chests. Clear helmets covered their faces. Dr. Crisp was in a space suit, too! Hers was black with a bright purple M on her chest. They all had silver space gloves. "I can't believe it," said Deepak. "I'm a real astronaut!" "You bet, space cadet!" said Dr. Crisp. "Okay, Makers. We need one last piece of equipment before we start." Dr. Crisp opened her backpack and began to pull out a long rope. She kept pulling…and pulling…and pulling. With one final tug, she said, "There! Now let's hook ourselves up." "What is this for?" asked Violet. She looked closely at the four metal clasps attached to the rope. "It looks like a leash," said Deepak. "I know what it is!" said Pablo proudly. "It's a space tether!"

制造者们现在穿着紫色的太空服！每个人的胸前都画了一个黑色的M。 透明的头盔遮住了他们的脸。 克里斯普医生也穿着太空服！她的衣服是黑色的，胸前有一个亮紫色的M字。 他们都戴着银色的太空手套。 “我真不敢相信，”迪帕克说。 “我是一个真正的宇航员！”“当然了，太空学员！” 脆。“好的,制造商。在我们开始之前，我们需要最后一件设备。” 克里斯普博士打开她的背包，开始抽出一根长绳子。 她不停地拉，拉，拉。 她最后用力一拉，说：“好了！现在让我们把自己绑起来。” “这是干什么用的？”维奥莱特问。 她仔细看了看系在绳子上的四个金属扣。 “它看起来像一条皮带，”迪帕克说。 “我知道那是什么！”巴勃罗骄傲地说。 “这是一根太空绳！”
