10 A Ship Reborn

CHAPTER Ten A Ship Reborn Kaww! Kaww! The entire army of Ninns streaked across the sky after Lord Sparr. The whole island rumbled and shook. Giant cracks split the rocks along the cliff. "Let's get out of here!" Neal yelled, stumbling across the ground to his friends. Eric gasped when he saw his friend. "Hey, Neal, you're back!" "What's wrong with my back?" Neal said.

第十章重生的船哇！Kaww !整支宁斯军队在斯帕尔大人身后飞奔而过。 整个岛轰隆隆地震动着。 巨大的裂缝把悬崖上的岩石劈开。 “我们离开这里吧！”尼尔喊道，跌跌撞撞地穿过地面向他的朋友们走去。 埃里克看到他的朋友时倒吸了一口冷气。 “嘿，尼尔，你回来了！”“我的背怎么了？”Neal说。

"It's normal!" Julie said. "You're Neal again! Not a bug! The Eye must have blasted you back to your regular you!" "I always did like me!" Neal said. "Let's go!" Rrrrr! The ground rumbled again and again. "This way!" Galen urged. "The island is crumbling into the sea! Swiftly now!" The six friends ran as quickly as they could down the white cliffs. They pounded through the tangled jungle. Rocks slid and crashed all around them. Trees fell in their path. Finally, they reached the shore. Krrrk! The giant white cliff above them began to split. "We need a ship!" Keeah said. Galen frowned. "We need something to start us off. Something to build a ship with." Eric's eyes went wide. "I know!" He ran across the beach. There, hidden in the rocks, were the wooden planks and torn sail from the old ship. "Can we use these?" he asked breathlessly. "Yes!" said Keeah. Quickly, they assembled as much of the old ship as they could find. Together Galen and Keeah spoke fantastic words over them. Suddenly, magically, the broken planks became hundreds of planks. Torn bits of sail furled upward into red-and-

“是很正常的!”朱莉说。 “你又是尼尔！”不是虫子！‘魔眼’一定把你炸回了原来的样子！”“我一直都喜欢我自己！”Neal说。 “我们走吧!”Rrrrr !地面一次又一次地隆隆作响。 “这样!”盖伦敦促。“这个岛要沉到海里去了！”现在很快!”六个朋友以最快的速度跑下了白色的悬崖。 他们艰难地穿过错综复杂的丛林。 岩石在他们周围滑动和破碎。 树木倒在他们的路上。最后，他们到达了岸边。 Krrrk !他们头顶上巨大的白色悬崖开始裂开。 “我们需要一艘船！”Keeah说。 盖伦皱起了眉头。“我们需要一些东西来启动我们。 用来造船的东西。” 埃里克睁大了眼睛。“我知道!”他跑过海滩。 在那里的岩石中，隐藏着那艘旧船的木板和破帆。 “我们能用这些吗？”他上气不接下气地问。 “是的！”基娅说。很快，他们尽可能多地组装了这艘旧船。 盖伦和基娅一起对他们说了些奇妙的话。 突然，神奇的是，破碎的木板变成了数百块木板。 撕碎的船帆碎片卷起，变成了红色和红色

yellow squares of cloth. The Jaffa Wind, more beautiful than ever, rose up before them. "Hurry aboard," Max pleaded. The moment they piled on, the giant sails filled with wind, and the ship began to slide over the water. KRRRK! A large crack tore open the cliff face, sending huge rocks tumbling to the sea below. "Just in time!" Eric said. The beach and the jungle were swept away by the crashing waves. A moment later, the towering mountain itself fell into the sea. The mysterious island vanished. As if it had never existed. The ship sped magically over the waves. Leaning against the side, Eric let out a long breath. "Sparr lost today," he said. Keeah smiled. "Yes. For now, he doesn't have the Red Eye of Dawn. Now my father and I can search for my mother." "What will Sparr do next?" Neal asked. Galen glanced across the water. "Demither is heading north," he said, "to the coast of Mintar where she became what she became. Sparr will follow her there. But that is a story for another day. Look…"

黄色方块布。雅法风在他们面前升起，比以往任何时候都更加美丽。 “快上船吧，”马克斯恳求道。 他们一拥而入，巨大的帆就被风吹得满满的，船开始在水面上滑行。 KRRRK !悬崖表面裂开一条大裂缝，巨大的岩石滚落到下面的海里。 “来得正是时候！”Eric说。 海滩和丛林被汹涌的海浪卷走了。 不一会儿，那座巍峨的山也沉入了大海。 神秘的岛屿消失了。 仿佛它从未存在过。 船神奇地在波浪上疾驰。 埃里克靠在船舷上，深深地吸了一口气。 “斯帕尔今天输了，”他说。 Keeah笑了。“是的。现在，他还没有黎明的红眼。 现在我和爸爸可以去找妈妈了。” “斯帕尔下一步会做什么？”Neal问道。 盖伦瞥了一眼水面。 “德米特尔正往北走，”他说，“去明塔尔海岸，在那里她变成了现在的样子。 斯帕尔会跟着她去。 但那是另一个故事了。 看起来……”

The sun peered through the dark clouds and shone over the sea. It was a new day. "And look at that," Neal said. "A city!" They all ran to the upper deck. Rising in the distance were the silvery towers of an enormous city. Sunlight glimmered on the harbor and on the many colorful boats sailing into it. "Jaffa City," Keeah exclaimed. "The capital of Droon. Home." "We're home, too," Julie said. "There are the stairs." She pointed off the left side of the ship. The magic stairs were hovering over the calm waves. A few minutes later, Neal, Julie, and Eric stepped from the ship onto the bottom stair. "I have no words to thank you," Keeah said, "except to say—come back soon!" "Droon needs such good friends as you," Galen said with a smile. Eric smiled, too. "As long as the magic keeps working, we'll keep coming." Julie hugged Keeah. "You can count on it." "Farewell, Master Neal," said Max. "It was fun not being the smallest one, for a change." Neal put his fingers to his forehead and wiggled twice. "That means—see you soon!"

太阳透过乌云，照在海面上。 这是新的一天。“看看这个，”尼尔说。 “一个城市!”他们都跑到上层甲板上。 远处耸立着一座巨大城市的银色塔楼。 阳光在港口和驶入港口的五颜六色的船只上闪烁。 “雅法城。” “德鲁恩的首都。回家。” “我们也回家了，”朱莉说。 “那里有楼梯。”她指了指船的左侧。 神奇的楼梯在平静的海浪上盘旋。 几分钟后，尼尔、朱莉和埃里克从船上走到最下面的楼梯上。 “我不知道该说什么感谢你，”基娅说，“只能说——快点回来！”“德鲁恩需要你这样的好朋友。”盖伦笑着说。 埃里克也笑了。“只要魔法还在起作用，我们就会一直来。” 朱莉拥抱了姬娅。“你可以放心。” “再见了，尼尔少爷，”马克斯说。 “改变一下，我不是最小的孩子，这很有趣。” 尼尔把手指放在额头上，扭动了两下。 “那就是说——再见！”

The three children waved and raced up the stairs to the basement above them. They turned to look one last time at Keeah's ship as it sped over the sparkling sea to Jaffa City.

三个孩子挥了挥手，奔上楼梯，来到楼上的地下室。 他们转身最后看了一眼姬亚的船，它在波光粼粼的海面上疾驰而去，驶向雅法城。

Then Eric flicked on the light.

然后埃里克打开了灯。
