Unit 15 Attack of the bats
第15单元 蝙蝠的攻击
Dr. Moron and his team of researchers study the sleeping pattern of bats. They believed that bats have dreams just like people.
莫朗博士和他的研究生团队要研究蝙蝠的睡眠模式。他们认为蝙蝠和人类一样会做梦。
Today he is putting his theories to test in a wet, dark cave filled with hundreds of sleeping bats. It is a dangerous job. If he wakes the bats they might attack him.
今天他要在一个又湿又暗、里头满是睡着蝙蝠的洞穴里，对他的理论进行试验。这项工作很危险，一旦惊醒蝙蝠，蝙蝠可能会对他进行攻击。
Dr. Moron shines his flashlight into the cave. He is careful not to point it into their eyes. He hunches over and walks in. There is a strange noise coming from the cave- a hissing sound. Dr. Moron shudders. He is scared, but he moves forward.
莫朗博士用手电筒照着洞穴，小心翼翼地不让手电筒照到蝙蝠的眼睛；接着弓着背走了进去。洞穴里传来一阵奇怪的嘶嘶声，莫朗博士发起抖来，觉得有点害怕，不过她还是往前继续走。
The cave is surprisingly warm and smells like cat fur. Dr. Moron makes a note in his book. While he is writing, his flashlight falls to the ground and goes out. It makes a loud noise as it hits the rocks below.
这个洞穴出人意料地温暖，而且闻起来有股猫尿的味道。莫朗博士在他的书上注记下来，结果当他写到一半时，手电筒掉到地上熄灭了；畏怯在撞到下面的石头时，弄出很大的声音。
He is standing in the dark. The loud noise wakes the bats and they attack Dr. Moron. He runs out of the cave screaming. He doesn't stop running until he gets back to his lab. His experiment had failed.
他站在黑暗之上，刚才那阵大的声音把蝙蝠给吵醒了，使得蝙蝠开始攻击莫朗博士。他尖叫着跑出了洞穴，一直跑回实验室。他这回的实验算是失败了。
