Chapter 4 The Boat Trip

第四章乘船旅行

"I thought you didn't like going out in the boat," said Billy's mum, as they set off across the water. "It's great that you've changed your mind." Isn't this fun? Mmm. "What's going on?" whispered Ruby. "I know you still hate boats. Why did you ask Mum to take us out?"

“我以为你不喜欢坐船出去，”比利的妈妈说，当他们出发过河的时候。 “你改变主意真是太好了。” 这不是很有趣吗？嗯。“怎么回事？” “我知道你仍然讨厌船。 你为什么叫妈妈带我们出去？”

"It's Trumpet," Billy whispered back. "He's somewhere on the rocks. We have to get Mum to take us there. But I can't think how." I'm just trying really hard not to be sick. I have a cunning plan! "Dad!" said Ruby. "What's that huge bird flying over there?" "Where?" "By those rocks. It had black bits on its wings and a yellow head."

“是喇叭，”比利小声回答。 “他在岩石上的某个地方。 我们得让妈妈带我们去。 但我想不出该怎么做。”我只是在努力不让自己生病。 我有一个狡猾的计划！“爸爸！” “那边飞的那只大鸟是什么？”“在哪里?”“在那些岩石旁边。 它的翅膀上有黑色的斑点，头是黄色的。”

Ooh, maybe it's a gannet! I didn't know there were gannets here. "Quick, let's sail that way!" said Dad, excitedly. "Where are the other Mini Monsters?" whispered Ruby. "They're safe on the beach," said Billy. "Er... are you sure about that?" Billy turned to see where Ruby was pointing. "Oh no!" he groaned.

哦，也许是塘鹅！我不知道这里有塘鹅。 爸爸兴奋地说：“快，我们往那边开吧！” “其他的小怪兽呢？”鲁比小声问。 “他们在海滩上很安全，”比利说。 “呃……你确定吗？”比利转过身去看鲁比指的地方。 “哦，不！”他呻吟道。

There were the Mini Monsters, on a tiny raft, riding the waves. The raft was coming straight towards them. Billy leaned down, reaching out towards the Mini Monsters. The wave rose up and up and up and... splashed all over Billy.

迷你怪兽们在一个小木筏上乘风破浪。 木筏正径直向他们驶来。 比利俯下身，向小怪兽们伸出手。 海浪越升越高，越升越高…… 溅了比利一身。

The Mini Monsters landed on the bottom of the boat. "Where's Fang-Face?" asked Billy. The raft was too heavy so he stayed behind. We want to help find Trumpet. I wish I'd stayed behind. Billy looked ANXIOUSLY at his Mini Monsters. "This is a dangerous mission," he said.

小怪兽们落在了船底。 “尖牙脸在哪儿？”比利问。 木筏太重了，所以他留在了后面。 我们想帮忙找到喇叭。 我真希望我留下来了。比利焦急地看着他的小怪兽。 “这是一项危险的任务，”他说。
