7. The Great Escape

7 The Great Escape The next day, Oda Nobu saw Lily, Stanley, and their fathers off on the last ferry to Alcatraz. Nearby, reporters were already beginning to gather for Oda and Carmen's "surprise" news conference. It was late in the afternoon, and the Bay was choppy. Stanley's edges fluttered in the wind, and his father held his hand to make sure he didn't blow away. The red, ghostly outline of the Golden Gate Bridge rose behind them as the ferry plowed toward Alcatraz.

第二天，织田信送莉莉、斯坦利和他们的父亲乘坐最后一班渡轮前往恶魔岛。 不远处，记者们已经开始聚集在一起，准备参加小田和卡门的“惊喜”新闻发布会。 天色已晚，海湾上波涛汹涌。 斯坦利的棱角在风中飘动，父亲握着他的手，确保他不会被风吹走。 当渡船驶往恶魔岛时，金门大桥的红色幽灵般的轮廓在他们身后升起。

It was less than two miles to the island, but Stanley thought the distance felt much too great for anyone to cross without a boat.

它离小岛不到两英里，但斯坦利认为这段距离太长了，没有船任何人都无法穿越。

Inside the prison, they hung at the back of the group as the tour guide explained how Alcatraz was first used as a prison during the Civil War. But Stanley was too nervous to pay close attention. Lily wore all black. Meanwhile, Stanley was wearing his flight suit beneath his clothes. Sweating, he passed mug shot after mug shot of hardened criminals who had served time on the Rock. Stanley imagined what they might say: We never escaped. You won't either. Finally they arrived at the cellblock that Stanley remembered from the blueprint. It was long, narrow, and lined with cells on both sides. Each tiny, broken-down cell contained nothing more than a toilet, a sink, and a small cot.

在监狱里，当导游解释阿尔卡特拉斯岛在内战期间最初是如何被用作监狱的时候，他们被挂在队伍的后面。 但斯坦利太紧张了，没有仔细注意。 莉莉一身黑。与此同时，斯坦利在衣服里面穿着他的飞行服。 他满头大汗地拍了一张又一张在监狱服刑的惯犯的照片。 斯坦利想象着他们会说什么:我们从未逃脱。 你也不会的。最后，他们来到了斯坦利从蓝图中记得的牢房。 它又长又窄，两边排列着细胞。 每个破旧的小房间里只有一个厕所、一个水槽和一张小床。

And then here it was: the cell in which America's most notorious gangster, Al "Scarface" Capone, had done his time. The door was open for visitors, just as they expected. As the guide spoke about Capone's years at Alcatraz, Stanley's father pulled him close and whispered "Good luck." Dr. Fox kept his eyes on the guide and then gave the hand signal: The guide was looking away. Stanley shimmied out of his

然后，这里就是:美国最臭名昭著的黑帮艾尔·“疤面煞星”·卡彭(Al“Scarface”Capone)服刑的牢房。 正如他们所预料的那样，门是为客人敞开的。 当导游谈到卡彭在恶魔岛的岁月时，斯坦利的父亲把他拉近，低声说:“祝你好运。” 福克斯医生的眼睛一直盯着向导，然后做了个手势:向导在看别的地方。 斯坦利摇摇晃晃地走了出来

baggy clothes and slipped into the cell, wearing nothing but his flight suit. He leaned his body against a back corner, his suit turning pale yellow to match the wall. With a flick of the wrist, Lily backed in behind the screen formed by Stanley's camouflaged body. Dr. Fox leaned against the cell door, gently shutting it. The door locked with a terrible click. And then Lily and Stanley were alone. Just when Stanley thought he couldn't wait a second longer, the lights went off, right on schedule. Alcatraz was locked down for the night. The cellblock was now lit only by the eerie red glow of emergency lights. Stanley stood and crept to the cell door. In his black, self-camouflaging flight suit, he could barely see his own body in the darkness. He twisted sideways, inserting his head between the bars, and looked up and down the cellblock. "All clear," he whispered to Lily. Lily reached down and pulled a spoke from her wheel: the lockpick. She rolled up against the bars, reaching

他穿着宽松的衣服，只穿了一件飞行服，就溜进了牢房。 他把身子靠在屋后的角落里，他的西装变成了淡黄色，与墙壁相配。 莉莉轻轻一挥手腕，退到斯坦利伪装的身体形成的屏障后面。 福克斯医生靠在牢门上，轻轻地把门关上。 门砰的一声锁上了。 然后就只剩莉莉和斯坦利了。 就在斯坦利觉得他不能再等一秒钟的时候，灯如期熄灭了。 恶魔岛今晚被封锁了。 牢房现在只被应急灯发出的诡异红光照亮。 斯坦利站起身，蹑手蹑脚地走到牢房门口。 他穿着黑色的自我伪装飞行服，在黑暗中几乎看不见自己的身体。 他侧过身去，把头插在栅栏之间，上下打量着牢房。 “安全了。”他小声对莉莉说。 莉莉俯下身，从车轮上抽出一根轮辐:撬锁器。 她蜷缩在铁栏上，伸手

around with one hand to find the lock. Her eyes were shut tight in concentration. There was a loud click, and the door swung open with a painful squeal. Stanley and Lily froze. After a count of ten, he followed her out of the cell. Lily rolled through the deserted prison. Stanley crept ahead of her, peeking around corners. He gave a signal when the coast was clear.

用一只手四处找锁。 她全神贯注地紧闭着双眼。 咔哒一声巨响，门随着一声痛苦的尖叫打开了。 斯坦利和莉莉僵住了。数到十之后，他跟着她走出了牢房。 莉莉滚过空荡荡的监狱。 斯坦利蹑手蹑脚地走在她前面，从各个角落里偷看。 他在安全时发出信号。
