24-FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS!

FASTEN YOUR SEAT BELTS! After listening to our amazing adventures, the manager of RATLIN'S Resort got us four first-class seats on the first flight back to New Mouse City. Well, actually three seats, since Thea had decided to stay a few more days. "He is such a deeear!" Thea had shrieked about her new, big-eared friend. "I have never met such a charming mouse! He adores me, and he is sooo romantic! geronimo, why don't you stay for a little longer, too?" "I want to go home! I just want to go home!" I kept telling her.

系好安全带!听了我们精彩的冒险经历后，拉特林度假村的经理给我们订了四张头等舱的机票，让我们坐第一班飞机回新老鼠城。 其实是三个座位，因为西娅决定多待几天。 “他真是个笨蛋!”西娅尖声叫着她的大耳朵新朋友。 “我从来没见过这么可爱的老鼠!”他喜欢我，而且他很浪漫!杰罗尼莫，你为什么不再多待一会儿呢?”“我想回家!”我只想回家!”我一直告诉她。

The time to leave finally came. "Now boarding!" blasted the loudspeaker at the airport. We climbed onto the plane. "All rodents, please fasten your seat belts!" the pilot requested. A pretty flight attendant with dark brown fur walked down the aisle, passing out slices of tasty Swiss cheese. "HAVE FUN on your vacation?" asked the mouse seated next to me. Fun wouldn't exactly be my first word to describe it, I thought. How about disaster? Or nightmare? But I nodded anyway. "Fun," I grumbled. "LOADS OF FUN." Trap was back to his usual self. I heard him flirting with the flight attendant. He told her he was an expert sailor. Then he began telling her about our ADVENTURE.

离开的时刻终于到来了。 “现在登机!”机场的扩音器轰鸣着。 我们爬上飞机。 “所有的老鼠，请系好安全带!” 一位穿着深棕色皮毛的漂亮空姐走过过道，递给她几片美味的瑞士奶酪。 “假期过得愉快吗?”坐在我旁边的老鼠问。 我想，我不能用“有趣”这个词来形容它。 灾难呢?还是恶梦? 但我还是点了点头。“有趣，”我抱怨道。 “非常有趣。”特拉普又恢复了原来的样子。 我听见他在和空姐调情。 他告诉她他是一个熟练的水手。 然后他开始告诉她我们的冒险经历。

I missed most of the details. I was too busy looking at the view outside my window. This was the first time I had seen the island from above. It was quite a sight. Right in the middle of the ISLAND was a lake as green as an Emerald! And, of course, the lake was exactly where the treasure was supposed to be on Thea's map. Now, that was odd. From up in the sky, the lake looked just like an emerald-green eye. Eye? Emerald? "Holey cheese!" I squeaked excitedly. Benjamin, who had fallen sound asleep, woke

我漏掉了大部分细节。 我忙着看窗外的景色。 这是我第一次从空中看到这个岛。 那真是一幅壮观的景象。在岛的正中央有一个像翡翠一样绿的湖!当然，在西娅的地图上，宝藏应该就在那个湖上。 这很奇怪。从空中俯瞰，湖面就像一只翠绿的眼睛。 眼睛吗?翡翠吗?“多洞的奶酪!”我兴奋地尖叫着。 睡得很熟的本杰明醒了

up with a squeak. "Look!" I shouted, pulling Trap's tail. I jumped out of my seat and pointed out the window. "It's the Emerald Eye!" I shrieked. A frail white-haired rat waved her book at me. "Shhh!" she said, glaring. Other passengers threw me dirty looks. Oh, well, guess I wouldn't be winning the most popular passenger award. "So that is the treasure shown on the map!" I cried, ignoring my newfound enemies. My cousin just snorted. "Gerryboy, to me a treasure is something you can spend! All you can do with that treasure is wash your socks in it!" I sighed, sinking back into my seat. The shimmering green lake in the middle of

吱吱的一声起来。“看!”我喊着，拉着陷阱的尾巴。 我从座位上跳起来，指着窗外。 “是翡翠眼!”我尖叫起来。 一只虚弱的白发老鼠向我挥舞着她的书。 “嘘!”她怒视着说。 其他乘客向我抛媚眼。 好吧，看来我不会赢得最受欢迎乘客奖了。 “原来这就是地图上显示的宝藏!”我哭了，无视我新发现的敌人。 我表弟只是哼了一声。“Gerryboy，对我来说，宝藏是你可以花的东西!”你唯一能做的就是用它洗袜子!”我叹了口气，倒在座位上。 中间是闪闪发光的绿色湖泊

the island moved farther and farther away. Benjamin laid his tiny head on my shoulder. "I think the Emerald Eye is a wonderful treasure, Uncle," he said. "It's the most beautiful treasure I've ever seen!"

小岛越来越远了。 本杰明把他的小脑袋靠在我的肩上。 “我认为翡翠眼是一个奇妙的宝藏，叔叔，”他说。 “这是我见过的最美丽的宝藏!”
