Chapter 3

3 The shaking suddenly stopped. Violet, Pablo, and the twins glanced around the room. Mr. Eng was frozen while bent over a table explaining the worksheet to a group of students. Another group of students was frozen making funny shadows on the wall with their flashlight. Everyone was still except them and the tornado machine! "Hey, look over there!" Skylar pointed. The gray box was glowing inside a ring of purple light. And there was a tornado spinning inside!

震动突然停止了。 维奥莱特、巴勃罗和双胞胎环视了一下房间。 当伍启英弯腰向一群学生解释工作表时，他被冻住了。 另一群学生则呆呆地用手电筒在墙上画出有趣的影子。 除了他们和龙卷风机器，每个人都静止了！“嘿，看那边！”Skylar指出。 灰色的盒子在一圈紫光中发光。 里面有龙卷风在旋转！

WHOOOOOOSH! BIZZAP! WHOOOOOOSH! BIZZAP! The fan's spinning blades were pulling the edges of the portal downward. "I think I liked going through the microscope better," said Skylar. She gulped as she tugged on her ear. Pablo rubbed his hands together. "Ready?" he asked his friends. Violet was the first to stand up. "Let's do this!" Skylar also stood up and grabbed her brother's hand. "Come on, this will be fun! Maybe it will cheer you up." WHOOOOOOSH! BIZZAP! WHOOOOOOSH! BIZZAP! "It's like the fan is going to suck the portal into the tornado!" said Skylar as they walked up to the gray box.

WHOOOOOOSH !BIZZAP !WHOOOOOOSH !BIZZAP !风扇旋转的叶片把门的边缘往下拉。 “我想我更喜欢通过显微镜观察，”斯凯拉说。 她使劲拉着耳朵，咽了一口气。 巴勃罗搓着手。 “准备好了吗？”他问朋友们。 维奥莱特第一个站了起来。 “我们开始吧！”斯凯拉也站起来，抓住她哥哥的手。 “来吧，这会很有趣的！”也许它会让你高兴起来。” WHOOOOOOSH !BIZZAP !WHOOOOOOSH !BIZZAP !“就像风扇要把传送门吸进龙卷风一样！”当他们走向灰色的盒子时，斯凯拉说。

"Maybe…we should hurry," said Pablo. "Before it does suck up the portal. Then we won't be able to get to the Maker Maze!" Pablo leaned toward the glowing ring of light. But nothing happened. "Huh," said Violet. She bit her lip. "Maybe we need to open it?" She reached for a small knob on the clear door. The door suddenly flew open! The

“也许……我们应该快点，”巴勃罗说。 “在它吸走传送门之前。 那我们就进不了创客迷宫了！”巴勃罗靠向那圈发光的光。 但是什么也没发生。“嗯，”维奥莱特说。 她咬着嘴唇。“也许我们需要打开它？”她伸手去抓那扇透明门上的一个小把手。 门突然开了！的

wind from the tornado machine gushed into the classroom. Worksheets flew everywhere! "Here we go!" shouted Pablo. Violet, Pablo, Skylar, and Devin held hands as they were sucked into the portal. BIZZAP! After falling for a few moments, they blew into the Maker Maze. Plastic buckets dotted the floor of the main lab. There were long tables that held flasks of color-ful bubbling liquid and strange plants that wiggled, jiggled, and danced. Robots were zooming between the lab tables and quickly covering all the equipment with plastic sheets. "What happened here?" asked Violet as she stood up. "It looks like a storm came through here, too," said Devin. He dipped his toe in a puddle on the floor. "My hair's getting wet! It's going to get so frizzy!" Violet complained as she tried to cover

龙卷风机吹来的风涌进了教室。 工作表到处飞！“我们走吧！”巴勃罗喊道。 维奥莱特、巴勃罗、斯凯拉和戴文被吸进了传送门，他们手牵着手。 BIZZAP !在坠落片刻之后，他们吹进了创客迷宫。 主实验室的地板上到处都是塑料桶。 那里有长桌，上面放着盛满彩色冒泡液体的瓶子，还有奇怪的植物在扭动、摇摆和跳舞。 机器人在实验室的桌子之间穿梭，迅速地用塑料布覆盖所有的设备。 “这里发生了什么？”维奥莱特站起来问道。 “看起来这里也经历了一场风暴，”德文说。 他把脚趾伸进地板上的水坑里。 “我的头发湿了！”它会变得很卷曲的！”维奥莱特一边抱怨一边试图盖上被子

her head. Water was leaking everywhere from the Maker Maze ceiling! "Maybe this will help!" boomed a voice from behind. It was Dr. Crisp! She wore her normal white lab coat and bright purple pants. But this time she also wore yellow rain boots and a yellow umbrella hat! "Sorry for the mess," said Dr. Crisp. "We had a little accident with the storm simulator. It got a bit…too real. But don't worry! This will all be cleaned up in no time!" She pointed over her shoulder with her thumb. The Maze robots were fixing the ceiling and mopping the floor.

她的头。水从创客迷宫的天花板上到处漏出来！“也许这能帮上忙！”一个声音从后面传来。 是克里斯普医生！她穿着平常的白大褂和亮紫色裤子。 但这次她还穿着黄色雨靴和黄色伞帽！“很抱歉弄得这么乱。” 脆。“我们的风暴模拟器出了点小事故。 有点…太真实了。不过别担心！这一切很快就会被清理干净的！”她用拇指越过肩膀指了指。 迷宫机器人正在修理天花板和拖地。

"Anywho!" said Dr. Crisp with a clap of her hands. She pulled the glittery Maker Manual out from under her lab coat. "Can't get this beauty wet! She'll start to get all frizzy." "Like my hair!" said Violet. Then she paused and said, "Wait a minute. How can a book get frizzy?" Dr. Crisp tapped her fingers on the golden cover. "Trust me," she said, shaking her head.

“谁都可以！”克里斯普博士拍了拍手说。 她从白大褂下面抽出那本闪闪发光的《制造者手册》。 “不能把这个美女弄湿！”她会开始卷曲的。” “比如我的头发！”维奥莱特说。 然后她停顿了一下，说：“等一下。 一本书怎么会卷曲呢？”博士。 克里斯普用手指轻敲着金色的盖子。 “相信我，”她摇着头说。
