Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8 Dr. Crisp clicked her heels and the light returned. She walked over to Pablo. "Is everything okay here, Makers?" asked Dr. Crisp. Pablo paused. And then sighed. He wiped away a tear and finally replied, "I don't think I'm smart enough to be an astronaut." Dr. Crisp gasped and put her hand to her chest. "Pablo, why would you think something like that?

第八章克里斯普医生咔哒一下她的鞋跟，光又回来了。 她走向巴勃罗。“这里一切都好吗，创客？” 脆。巴勃罗暂停。然后叹了口气。 他擦了擦眼泪，最后回答说：“我认为我不够聪明，不能当宇航员。” 克里斯普医生喘着气，把手放在胸前。 “巴勃罗，你为什么会这样想？”

Of course you're smart enough to be an astronaut! You're smart enough to become anything you want." "But I can't even remember the difference between asteroids and comets," Pablo continued. He wiped away another tear. "I don't know how black holes work, either. And I probably won't know anything about whatever we'll learn in level three." He put his hands in his pockets and hung his head again. "That's okay, Pablo." Dr. Crisp knelt to look him in the eye. "The Maker Maze is all about having fun and learning. Figuring stuff out!" Pablo shook his head. "You don't understand, Dr. Crisp. Back in Puerto Rico, mis primos would tell me that I would only become an astronaut because my head was always in the clouds. My parents said to ignore them. But it's hard. And it makes me feel bad." Then he looked at Violet and Deepak. "When I kept messing up on the challenges, I felt like I was letting you down."

你当然够聪明，能当宇航员！你足够聪明，可以成为任何你想成为的人。” “但我甚至不记得小行星和彗星之间的区别，”巴勃罗继续说道。 他又擦去了一滴眼泪。 “我也不知道黑洞是如何运作的。 我可能对我们在第三关学到的东西一无所知。” 他把手插在口袋里，又低下了头。 “没关系，巴勃罗。”克里斯普医生跪下来看着他的眼睛。 “创客迷宫是关于玩乐和学习的。 想办法解决问题！”巴勃罗摇了摇头。 “你不明白，大夫。 脆。在波多黎各的时候，他会告诉我，我只会成为一名宇航员，因为我的脑子总是在云端。 我父母说不要理他们。 但这很难。这让我感觉很糟糕。” 然后他看了看维奥莱特和迪帕克。 “当我一直在挑战中搞砸时，我觉得我让你失望了。”

"But, Pablo," said Violet, "you're the smartest person I know!" "Yeah," added Deepak. "You always have such good ideas. Remember, you figured out level three last time we all were here!" "I'm so sorry your cousins would say those things to you," said Dr. Crisp. "It's not very nice.

“但是，巴勃罗，”维奥莱特说，“你是我认识的最聪明的人！”“是的，”迪帕克补充说。 “你总是有这么好的主意。 记住，上次我们在这里的时候，你已经解开了第三关！”“我很抱歉，你的表兄妹们会对你说那些话。” 脆。“这不是很好。

And it also is not true. You will become an astronaut, Pablo. Do you want to know how I know that?" Dr. Crisp asked. Pablo nodded slowly. "Because you never give up," said Dr. Crisp with a warm smile. "Not even when we only have thirty-five minutes left and still need to finish level two!" Pablo smiled. Dr. Crisp was right. I'm not a quitter, he thought. "Thanks, Dr. Crisp. I promise to never, ever give up." Then he looked down at his watch. His eyes grew wide. "Wait, you weren't kidding! We only have thirty-five minutes left in this challenge!"

这也是不正确的。你会成为宇航员的，巴勃罗。 你想知道我是怎么知道的吗？”博士。 脆问道。巴勃罗慢慢地点了点头。 “因为你从不放弃。” 爽脆，带着温暖的微笑。“即使我们只剩下三十五分钟了，还需要完成第二关！”巴勃罗笑了。 克里斯普博士是对的。我不是一个放弃的人，他想。 “谢谢你，克里斯普博士。我保证永远、永远不会放弃。” 然后他低头看了看表。 他睁大了眼睛。“等等，你不是在开玩笑吧！”我们的比赛只剩下35分钟了！”

"Sorry to burst your bottle rocket, but yes!" replied Dr. Crisp. She clicked her heels and the lights turned off again. "Uh-oh," said Deepak. "It's okay," said Pablo. "We can get this done." "I think we got a little ahead of ourselves before," said Violet.

“很抱歉打碎了你的瓶子火箭，但是是的！” 脆。她咔哒一下脚跟，灯又关了。 “哦哦，”迪帕克说。“没关系，”巴勃罗说。 “我们可以完成这件事。”“我想我们之前有点超前了。”维奥莱特说。

Pablo agreed. "Yeah, I was trying to guess how black holes work before figuring out what they do to dark energy." "Let's look at the sheet again," Deepak suggested. The Makers inspected it carefully. "How about we list everything we can observe and see if we get any ideas?" said Pablo. Violet bent over and carefully studied the glowing sheet. "Whoa, I didn't pay attention to this before. But the model black hole must be pretty heavy. It's making the space fabric sag! A lot!" "Excellent eyes!" said Dr. Crisp, raising her eyebrows up and down. "Oh wow," said Deepak.

巴勃罗同意了。“是的，在弄清楚黑洞对暗能量的影响之前，我试图猜测黑洞是如何工作的。” “我们再看一遍单子吧。”迪帕克建议道。 制造者仔细地检查了它。 巴勃罗说：“不如我们把我们能观察到的东西都列出来，看看能不能有什么想法？” 维奥莉特弯下腰，仔细研究着那张发光的纸。 “哇，我之前没注意到这个。 但模型黑洞一定很重。 它使太空织物下垂！很多!”“漂亮的眼睛！” 脆脆的，上下扬起眉毛。 “哦，哇，”迪帕克说。
