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.

“汤姆，我们的陀螺稳定器出了问题，”法伯电子公司头发花白的总裁马克·法伯说。

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

“希望你能查出毛病在哪儿。”

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

这位十八岁的发明家微笑着接受了挑战。“我很乐意试一试，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，一位黑发的年轻飞行员，也是小汤姆·斯威夫特最要好的朋友，咯咯笑了起来。

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

“要是有谁能把您新发明里的毛病都挑出来，那就是咱们这位天才小子了！”

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

两个年轻人跟着法伯先生和他的工程师们来到一座戒备森严的木头房子。

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

里面，一台秘密的火箭遥测装置安装在试验台上。

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

“你知道的，汤姆，”法伯先生开口道，“火箭飞行的一般条件会是——”

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

整座房子突然开始摇晃，他惊得倒吸一口气，话说到一半就停住了。

"Good grief!" Bud exclaimed.

“我的天哪！”巴德惊叫道。
