19-COUNTDOWN：THREE, TWO, ONE

COUNTDOWN: THREE, TWO, ONE... by eleven the next morning, we were ready. We were also a little squashed from spending the night in the trunk. Trap was so excited he could hardly keep still. "Can't wait to COOK those cats!" he squeaked. "This is better than the time I cornered those ratburglars with my electronic weed whacker!"

倒计时:三、二、一…… 第二天早上十一点，我们准备好了。 我们在后备箱里过了一夜也有点累了。 特拉普激动得几乎无法保持安静。 “等不及要煮那些猫了!”他尖声说。 “这比那次我用我的电子除草器把那些偷鼠贼逼到角落里要好!”

We waited until we spotted Ho-hum Island. Then we quickly scampered into the powder room. No, this powder room wasn't for curling whiskers or fluffing up fur. It was filled with barrels of gunpowder! Each one of us took a barrel of gunpowder and ran to our posts. Our plan was to confuse the pirates and make them believe that the whole ship was on fire. We would start twelve fires in twelve separate spots on the ship. "Three, two, one... fire!" With a crackling noise, flames licked the walls. Black smoke filled the air. We heard the cats shouting: Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire!

我们一直等到发现了呼呼岛。 然后我们迅速跑进化妆室。 不，这个化妆室不是用来卷胡须或蓬松毛发的。 里面装满了火药桶!我们每人拿了一桶火药，跑到自己的岗位上。 我们的计划是迷惑海盗，使他们相信整艘船都着火了。 我们会在船上12个不同的地方点12堆火。 “三，二，一……火!”伴随着噼里啪啦的声音，火焰舔舐着墙壁。 空气中弥漫着黑烟。 我们听到猫在喊:着火了!火!火!火!火!火!火!火!火!

The flames were spreading fast, fanned by the wind off the ocean. We wrapped our paws with wet towels to keep from BURNING. The ship was getting hotter than the Cheeses of the World float at the Mousey's Day Parade! Meanwhile, the pirate cats were racing around in a panic. We could hear them meowing. What happened? I want my mommy! Have we been attacked? Did the kitchen blow up?

海面上吹来的风使火焰迅速蔓延。 我们用湿毛巾包住爪子，以免烫伤。 这艘船比老鼠日游行上的世界奶酪花车还要热!与此同时，海盗猫们惊慌失措地跑来跑去。 我们能听到它们在喵喵叫。 发生了什么事?我要妈妈!我们被攻击了吗? 厨房爆炸了吗?

By now, the ship was glowing from the heat. The cats were hopping around on the deck as if they were standing on the grill at Slinkrat's Sizzling Steak House! After a while, the cats gave up the crazy dance moves and began to jump overboard, "STOP, YOU SCOUNDRELS! ONLY I SAY WHEN IT IS TIME TO JUMP!" meowed a furious Black Bandit. But for once, no one was listening.

这时，飞船已经被热得发光了。 这些猫在甲板上跳来跳去，就好像它们站在Slinkrat's sizzle Steak House的烤架上一样!过了一会儿，猫们停止了疯狂的舞步，开始往海里跳。“站住，你们这些坏蛋!只有我说什么时候该跳!”一个暴跳如雷的黑强盗叫道。 但这一次，没有人在听。
