Chapter 7

Chapter 7 We've been putting posters up all around town, asking if anyone has seen Appa, but no one has. We've finally decided to take a break and return home. That's when Joo Dee—the original Joo Dee, not the second one—knocked on our door. "What happened to you?" Sokka asked. "Did the Dai Li throw you into jail?" "Of course not," she said. "I simply took a short vacation to Lake Laogai." "Why are you here?" Aang asked. "Putting up posters is not permitted. It's against the rules." "We don't care about the rules!" Aang yelled. "We're finding Appa on our own, and you should just stay out of our way." All right, Aang! I've been wanting to say that since I set foot in this place. Time to break some rules! So we headed back out. While we were putting up posters, Katara ran into this kid named Jet that she knows from before. I don't know what he did to her in the past, but she's really mad at him.

第七章我们在镇上到处张贴海报，问有没有人见过阿柏，但没有人。 我们终于决定休息一下回家了。 就在那时，朱迪——原来的那个，不是第二个——来敲我们的门。 “你怎么了？”Sokka问道。 “戴笠把你关进监狱了吗？”“当然不是，”她说。 “我只是去劳改湖度了个短假。” “你为什么在这里？”Aang问道。 “张贴海报是不允许的。 这是违反规定的。”“我们才不管规则呢！”Aang喊道。 “我们要靠自己去找阿柏，你最好别挡我们的路。” 好了，安昂！自从我来到这里，我就一直想说这句话。 是时候打破一些规则了！于是我们又出发了。 我们贴海报的时候，卡塔拉遇到了一个叫杰特的孩子她以前见过。 我不知道他过去对她做了什么，但她真的很生他的气。

"Katara, I swear I've changed," he pleaded. "I don't even have my gang now. I've put all that behind me. I'm here to help you find Appa." "You're lying!" Hmm, that's odd. I can feel his heartbeat and the vibrations his body's making as he breathes in and out. He's feels perfectly calm. His breathing is normal and his heart rate is steady. If he was lying, his heart rate would speed up and his breathing would grow faster and unsteady. No, this guy is telling the truth. "He's not lying." Even though Katara is still skeptical, we've decided to follow Jet to this warehouse where he heard they were keeping Appa. This place is empty! Appa's certainly not here. Maybe Katara is right about this guy. Maybe he's leading us into a trap. Maybe—Wait a minute. What's that? I'm stepping in something that feels very familiar. It feels like—oh. "Appa was here," I announced, reaching down, picking up a handful of his fur. "We missed him," Aang said sadly. "They took that big thing to Whaletail Island— very, very far from here," said an unknown voice. Apparently the building janitor has seen Appa.

“卡塔拉，我发誓我已经变了。”他恳求道。 “我现在连我的帮派都没有了。 我已经把那些都抛在脑后了。 我是来帮你找阿柏的。” “你撒谎!”嗯，这很奇怪。 我能感觉到他的心跳和他呼吸时身体的震动。 他感觉非常平静。 他的呼吸正常，心率稳定。 如果他在说谎，他的心跳就会加快，呼吸也会变得急促而不稳定。 不，这家伙说的是实话。 “他没有撒谎。”尽管卡塔拉仍持怀疑态度，我们还是决定跟着杰特去他听说他们把阿柏关在那里的仓库。 这地方空无一人！阿柏肯定不在这里。 也许卡塔拉对这家伙的看法是对的。 也许他在把我们引入陷阱。 也许，等一下。那是什么? 我正在介入一件非常熟悉的事情。 感觉就像-哦。“阿柏来过这里。”我宣布，伸手拿起一把它的皮毛。 “我们想念他。”安昂悲伤地说。 “他们把那大家伙带到鲸尾岛去了——离这儿很远很远的地方，”一个陌生的声音说。 显然大楼的看门人看到了阿柏。

Aang's insisting we go, no matter how far away it is. Jet said he'll help, but Katara still doesn't trust him. Boy, oh boy, is she steamed up! Her heart is pounding like a hammer and her breathing is all over the place. Katara really likes this guy! "Was he your boyfriend or something?" "No!" Ha! She's totally lying. No wonder she's so mad at him. As we got ready to leave, two people came running over to Jet. They seem to know him. "How did you get away from the Dai Li?" one of them asked him. Then she turned to Katara. "He got arrested by the Dai Li a couple of weeks ago." "I don't know what she's talking about," Jet insisted. Okay, now this is really weird. Impossible, in fact. The girl who's saying that Jet had been arrested, and Jet, who's insisting that he hadn't been, are BOTH telling the truth. Normal heart rates and breathing in both of them. How can that be? "They both THINK they're telling the truth," Sokka discovered, "which means that Jet has been brainwashed!" I guess he's not such a dud after all. That makes

安昂坚持要我们去，不管有多远。 杰特说他会帮忙，但卡塔拉还是不信任他。 天啊，天啊，她太兴奋了！她的心像锤子一样砰砰直跳，呼吸急促。 卡塔拉真的很喜欢这个家伙！“他是你的男朋友还是什么？”“不!”哈!她完全在撒谎。 难怪她那么生他的气。 当我们准备离开时，有两个人跑过来。 他们似乎认识他。“你是怎么从戴笠那里逃出来的？”其中一个问他。 然后她转向卡塔拉。 “他几个星期前被戴笠逮捕了。” “我不知道她在说什么，”杰特坚持说。 好吧，这真的很奇怪。 事实上，这是不可能的。那个说杰特被逮捕的女孩，和坚称自己没有被逮捕的杰特，都说的是实话。 心跳正常，呼吸正常。 这怎么可能呢？“他们都认为自己说的是实话，”索卡发现，“这意味着杰特被洗脑了！”我想他也没那么没用。 使

sense, finally. "The Dai Li must have sent Jet to mislead us, and that janitor was part of their plot too," Katara said. "I bet they have Appa right here in the city," Aang said excitedly. "Maybe they took him to the same place they took Jet. We need to find a way to jog his real memories." So Katara's Waterbending a sparkling band of healing energy around Jet's head. Slowly he's beginning to relax. Soon his true memories are going to drift up through the brainwashing …and here it comes. Apparently, the Dai Li had taken him to their headquarters, underwater, beneath a lake. "Joo Dee said she went on a vacation to Lake Laogai," Sokka recalled. "That's it!" Jet cried. "Lake Laogai!" Okay, now he's DEFINITELY telling the truth. I hope Appa's there, I really do. I can't wait to put this whole Appa mess behind me. If he's really gone, I don't know what I'll do. We've finally arrived at Lake Laogai, but there's no sign of any kind of headquarters. There's nothing here. It's just a lake and—Whoa, wait a second! It's hollow beneath this rock! That's an entrance! "Got it!" I shouted. I'll just Earthbend this rock up and—there it is, a tunnel leading under the lake.

意义上,最后。“戴笠一定是派了杰特来误导我们的，那个看门人也是他们阴谋的一部分，”卡塔拉说。 “我敢说阿柏就在城里。”安昂兴奋地说。 “也许他们把他带去了和杰特一样的地方。 我们得想办法唤醒他的真实记忆。” 所以卡塔拉的御水术在杰特的头上形成了一条闪闪发光的治疗能量带。 慢慢地，他开始放松下来。 很快，他的真实记忆就会在洗脑过程中浮现出来…… 显然，戴笠已经把他带到了他们的总部，在水下，在一个湖的下面。 “朱迪说她去劳改湖度假了，”索卡回忆说。 “就是这样!”飞机哭了。“湖老街!”好吧，现在他说的绝对是实话了。 我希望阿柏也在，真的。 我等不及要把阿柏的烂摊子抛诸脑后了。 如果他真的走了，我不知道该怎么办。 我们终于到了劳改湖，但没有任何总部的迹象。 这里什么都没有。只是个湖，等等！岩石下面是空的！那是入口！“明白了!”我叫道。 我只要用土弯法把这块石头抬起来，就在那儿，一条通向湖底的隧道。

Okay, we're heading down now. It feels huge. …"I think there might be a cell big enough to hold Appa up ahead," Jet said. Again he's telling the truth. Please be in there, Appa. Please! Okay, we're in and— "Take them into custody!" Long Feng! But Jet was telling the truth! He expected to find Appa here. Oh, well, it looks like instead of finding Appa we're going to be fighting Dai Li agents. They're pretty good Earthbenders—very good, in fact. But nothing I can't handle, especially with help from the others. Is that all you got, Dai Li? You guys wouldn't even make it through Earth Rumble Six! You just—Oh, no! Aang said Long Feng's escaping! Good, Aang and Jet are on it. Katara, Sokka, and I can finish up these Dai Li wimps. By the time we caught up to Aang and Jet in the other room, Jet was lying on the ground. No sign of Long Feng, but things aren't looking so good for Jet. Katara's trying to heal him, but I can't tell if it's working. He's telling Katara that he'll be fine, but the sad thing is, this time, it feels like he's lying.

好了，我们现在下去。 感觉很大。“我想前面可能有一个足够大的牢房，可以关住阿柏，”杰特说。 他说的又是实话。 求你了，阿柏。拜托!好了，我们进去了-把他们抓起来长峰!但杰特说的是实话！他想在这里找到阿柏。 看来我们找不到阿柏了我们要去和戴笠的特工作战了。 他们是很厉害的土宗——实际上非常厉害。 但没有我处理不了的，尤其是在其他人的帮助下。 戴笠，你就知道这些吗？ 你们连地球大战六号都撑不过去！你只是——哦，不！安昂说龙凤逃走了！很好，安昂和杰在查。 卡塔拉，索卡和我可以搞定这些戴笠的懦夫。 当我们在另一个房间赶上安昂和杰特的时候，杰特已经躺在地上了。 没有长风的踪迹，但杰特的情况看起来不太好。 卡塔拉想治好他，但我不知道是否有效。 他告诉卡塔拉他会没事的，但可悲的是，这一次，他感觉像是在撒谎。
