Chapter 6

6 The ocean, sand, sun, and mountains slid out of view. The Makers were standing in a large room. Their jetpacks and helmets had also disappeared. "I was hoping for another beach challenge," Pablo joked as he stretched his arms overhead. Violet and Skylar giggled. But Devin just stood next to his sister with his hands in his pockets. Dr. Crisp suddenly clapped her hands three times and said, "Okay, Makers! What time is it?" She cupped one hand around her ear.

海洋、沙滩、太阳和山脉从视野中消失了。 造物主站在一个大房间里。 他们的喷气背包和头盔也不见了。 “我希望能再来一次海滩挑战，”巴勃罗一边伸开双臂，一边开玩笑说。 维奥莱特和斯盖勒咯咯地笑。 但戴文只是双手插在口袋里站在他妹妹旁边。 克里斯普博士突然拍了三下手，说：“好了，创客们！现在几点了？”她用一只手托住耳朵。

"It's making time!" Violet and Pablo responded. "Bingo," said Dr. Crisp with two thumbs-up and a smile. The pages of the Maker Manual flipped again to one with a picture of a weather vane. Below the picture was a list of instructions. "In this level," Dr. Crisp continued, "you're going to learn about wind. Another very important part of weather! But before we do that, you'll need to make a weather vane!" Dr. Crisp started pulling supplies from her bag. She removed some paper plates, a large straw, a pencil, scissors, a pin, construction paper, and a ball of clay. "Oh yay!" said Skylar. "We've made these before, right, Devin?" She gave her brother a nudge with her elbow. "This will definitely be fun." Devin nodded with a half-smile. "Are you sure you're okay?" asked Pablo. "You can tell us if something is wrong. We're your friends!"

“它在制造时间！”维奥莱特和巴勃罗回应道。 “答对了，”克里斯普博士翘起两个大拇指，笑着说。 制造者手册的书页又翻到了一张风向标的图片。 图片下面是一列说明。 “在这一层，”克里斯普博士继续说，“你将了解风。 天气的另一个非常重要的部分！但在那之前，你需要做一个风向标！”博士。 克丽丝普开始从包里拿出物资。 她取出一些纸盘、一根大吸管、一支铅笔、一把剪刀、一枚别针、一张建筑纸和一个粘土球。 “太好了！”斯凯拉说。“我们以前做过这些，对吧，戴文？”她用胳膊肘轻推了她弟弟一下。 “这肯定会很有趣。” 戴文微微一笑点了点头。 “你确定你没事吗？”巴勃罗问。 “如果出了什么问题，你可以告诉我们。 我们是你的朋友！”

"I said I was fine," replied Devin. He crossed his arms. "Let's just… do this." Violet looked at Pablo and shrugged. Dr. Crisp closed her backpack and tossed it toward a corner of the large room. Then she turned toward the Makers with her hands around her mouth. She shouted, "READY! SET! MAKE!" The group huddled around the Maker Manual. "Okay, first we need to cut slits at the end of this straw," said Violet. She reached for the pair of scissors. "Then we need to cut a small arrowhead for the front," added Pablo. "And a larger one for the tail." He pointed to an outline in the Maker Manual. "Got it!" replied Violet. "Let's make the base," Skylar said to her brother, grabbing two paper plates. "Okay," he agreed. Devin took the modeling clay and flattened it using his hands. Then he

“我说我很好，”德文回答。 他交叉双臂。“让我们……开始吧。” 维奥莱特看着巴勃罗，耸了耸肩。 克里斯普医生合上背包，把它扔向大房间的一个角落。 然后她转向造物主，双手捂着嘴。 她喊道：“准备！设置!使!”这群人围着制造者手册。 “好吧，首先我们需要在稻草的末端剪几个缝，”维奥莱特说。 她伸手去拿剪刀。 “然后我们需要在前面剪一个小箭头，”巴勃罗补充说。 “尾巴要大一点。” 他指着《制造者手册》中的一个大纲。 “明白了！”维奥莱特回答。“我们来做底座吧，”斯凯拉对她哥哥说，抓起两个纸盘。 “好吧，”他同意了。Devin拿起模型粘土，用手把它压平。 然后他

smushed it in between the two plates Skylar was holding. "The base is done!" Skylar called out. Violet and Pablo worked together to slide the front and tail arrows into the slits in the straw. "We have the top! Let's put them together," Pablo replied. "You all are blowing right through this!" cheered Dr. Crisp. She puffed up her cheeks with

把它塞进斯盖勒拿着的两个盘子中间。 “底座做好了！”斯盖勒喊道。 维奥莱特和巴勃罗一起把前面和后面的箭塞进稻草的缝隙里。 “我们有顶部！”让我们把它们放在一起，”巴勃罗回答。 “你们都在吹！” 脆。她把脸颊鼓起

air and then pushed it out with her hands. The Makers laughed. Even Devin. "Okay, it says that next we have to stick the pencil into the plates through the clay," said Violet as she looked over the instructions. Pablo grabbed the pencil and jammed it point down through the plates. "Now we need to use the pin to connect the vane to the pencil's eraser." When they finished, the Maker Maze jingle echoed throughout the room. "Flippin' funnel clouds! You all finished fast!" hollered Dr. Crisp. Violet went to give double high fives to everyone… except Devin shook his head. "Oh, Devin, come on!" Violet insisted. "Why did you come if you didn't want to have fun!"

空气，然后用手把它挤出来。 造物主笑了。甚至是德文。 “好的，上面说接下来我们要把铅笔穿过粘土插进盘子里。”维奥莱特一边看说明书，一边说。 巴勃罗抓起铅笔，把笔尖插进盘子里。 “现在我们需要用大头针把叶片和铅笔的橡皮擦连接起来。” 当他们完成后，迷宫的叮当声回荡在整个房间。 “翻腾的漏斗云！”你们都完成得很快！” 脆。维奥莱特和每个人都击掌庆祝，只有德文摇了摇头。 “哦，戴文，别这样！”紫色的坚持。 “如果你不想玩，为什么还要来呢？”

"Hey!" said Skylar. Her forehead wrinkled as she said, "Leave him alone. He doesn't have to high-five if he doesn't want to." "Skylar's right, Violet," said Pablo. "No. Violet's right," Devin said. "I'm not sure why I came." His chest sunk and he lowered his head. "I'm just going to sit over here." Dr. Crisp frowned and removed the pencil from her ear. She used it to scratch her chin before asking, "Did I miss something? Is everyone okay?" Skylar looked at her brother, who was leaning against the wall. She paused before saying, "Devin will be okay. I think he needs some space."

“嘿！”斯盖勒说。她皱着眉头说：“别烦他。 如果他不想击掌，也不用击掌。” “斯盖勒说得对，维奥莱特。” “没有。维奥莱特说得对。” “我不知道我为什么来。” 他的胸膛一沉，低下了头。 “我就坐在这里。” 克里斯普医生皱起眉头，把铅笔从她耳朵上拿了下来。 她用手挠了挠下巴，然后问：“我错过什么了吗？” 大家都好吗？”斯盖勒看着靠在墙上的哥哥。 她停顿了一下，然后说：“戴文会没事的。 我觉得他需要一些空间。”
