Audiobook Dictation: “Tom, we're having a problem with…”

"Tom, we're having a problem with the gyro-stabilizer," said Mark Faber, gray-haired president of the Faber Electronics Company.

「湯姆，我們的陀螺穩定器出了問題，」法伯電子公司頭髮花白的總裁馬克·法伯說。

"Hope you can find out what's wrong."

「希望你能查出毛病在哪兒。」

The eighteen-year-old inventor accepted the challenge with a smile. "I'll be glad to try, sir," he replied.

這位十八歲的發明家微笑著接受了挑戰。「我很樂意試一試，先生，」他答道。

Bud Barclay, a dark-haired young flier and Tom Swift Jr.'s closest friend, chuckled.

巴德·巴克利，一位黑髮的年輕飛行員，也是小湯姆·斯威夫特最要好的朋友，咯咯笑了起來。

"If anyone can get the bugs out of your new invention, genius boy here will do it!"

「要是有誰能把您新發明裡的毛病都挑出來，那就是咱們這位天才小子了！」

The two boys followed Mr. Faber and his engineers to a wooden building which was tightly guarded.

兩個年輕人跟著法伯先生和他的工程師們來到一座戒備森嚴的木頭房子。

Inside, a secret rocket-telemetering device was mounted on its test stand.

裡面，一台秘密的火箭遙測裝置安裝在試驗台上。

"As you know, Tom," Mr. Faber began, "the usual conditions of rocket flight will be--"

「你知道的，湯姆，」法伯先生開口道，「火箭飛行的一般條件會是——」

He broke off with a gasp of astonishment as the whole building suddenly began to shake.

整座房子突然開始搖晃，他驚得倒吸一口氣，話說到一半就停住了。

"Good grief!" Bud exclaimed.

「我的天哪！」巴德驚叫道。
