Chapter 10

Chapter 10 A PROBLEM IS JUST A SOLUTION YOU HAVEN'T FOUND YET. Po got to school early the next day. He figured that would be his best opportunity to talk to Ms. Minerva. He found her in homeroom and told her all about the park and the bulldozed habitat. The explanation was obvious: the bats had nowhere else to go! "That's why they're here," he finished. "It's not the bats' fault. They probably don't even really want to be here. They just needed to find someplace to sleep during the day." Ms. Minerva smiled at him. But it was a small, sad smile. "I'm impressed that you and your friends

问题只是一个你还没有找到的解决方案。 第二天阿宝很早就到了学校。 他认为这将是他与她交谈的最佳机会。 密涅瓦。他在教室里找到了她，告诉了她关于公园和被铲平的栖息地的一切。 解释很明显：蝙蝠无处可去！“这就是他们在这里的原因。”他说完。 “这不是蝙蝠的错。 他们可能根本就不想待在这里。 他们只是需要在白天找个地方睡觉。” 密涅瓦对他笑了笑。 但那是一个小小的、悲伤的微笑。 “我对你和你的朋友们印象深刻

were able to learn all this," she said. "And I'm impressed with your compassion for the bats. But this doesn't really change anything, Po. Regardless of why the bats are here, they are here. And we need them to not be here anymore." "But…," Po began. He didn't know what else to say. He'd already made his argument. "I'm sorry, Po," said Ms. Minerva. "The exterminator will be here tomorrow. And there's nothing you or I can do to stop him."

我们能够学到这一切，”她说。 “你对蝙蝠的同情给我留下了深刻的印象。 但这改变不了什么，阿宝。 不管蝙蝠为什么在这里，它们就在这里。 我们需要他们离开这里。” “可是……”阿宝开始说。他不知道还能说什么。 他已经提出了自己的观点。 “对不起，阿宝。”密涅瓦女士说。 “灭虫员明天就来。 你我都无法阻止他。”

"I just can't believe it," Po said later. They were in Minecraft, preparing for another siege. He had taken the form of a construction worker. "I refuse to accept there's nothing we can do." "I know, buddy," said Morgan. "I want to stop the zombies from attacking, too." "I'm not talking about the zombies," Po said. "I'M TALKING ABOUT THE BATS! You know, real life?" "Oh, uh, sorry," Morgan said. If they could blush in the game, Po thought Morgan probably would blush now. "I didn't mean to snap at you," Po said. "I'm just frustrated that LEARNING THE TRUTH ABOUT THE BATS DIDN'T HELP ANYTHING." "Wait a minute," Harper said. She put away her pickaxe and went still. "Uh, Harper?" said Po. "IS EVERYTHING ALL RIGHT?" "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" she asked. "Are you…thinking about pizza?" he asked. She gave him a look.

“我简直不敢相信，”阿宝后来说。 他们在玩《我的世界》，为另一次围攻做准备。 他变成了一名建筑工人。 “我拒绝承认我们无能为力。” “我知道，伙计，”摩根说。 “我也想阻止僵尸的攻击。” “我说的不是僵尸，”阿宝说。 “我说的是蝙蝠！”你知道，现实生活？”“哦，呃，对不起，”摩根说。 如果他们能在比赛中脸红，阿宝想摩根现在可能也会脸红。 “我不是故意冲你发火的，”阿宝说。 “我只是对了解蝙蝠的真相没有任何帮助感到沮丧。” “等一下，”哈珀说。 她收起鹤嘴锄，静静地走了。 “哈帕？”阿宝说。“一切都好吗？”“你和我想的一样吗？”她问。 “你在想披萨吗？”他问。 她看了他一眼。

"Is that a no?" he asked. Harper shook her head. "No. I'm thinking: WHAT IF THE BAT PROBLEM AND THE ZOMBIE PROBLEM ARE THE SAME PROBLEM?" Ash narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean?" "Think about it," Harper said. "We keep saying that the monsters are attacking the village. But are they really? THEY TRAMPLE THE STUFF IN THEIR PATH. THEY FIGHT US WHEN WE STAND IN THEIR WAY. But otherwise?"

“那是否定吗？”他问。哈珀摇了摇头。 “没有。我在想：如果蝙蝠的问题和僵尸的问题是同一个问题呢？”艾什眯起眼睛。 “你是什么意思？”“想想吧，”哈珀说。 “我们一直说怪物正在袭击村庄。 但真的是这样吗？他们踩着路上的东西。 我们挡了他们的路，他们就跟我们打。 但除此之外呢?”

Ash nodded slowly. "Remember the night we hid in the library? They just walked right through town and into the woods on the other side, didn't they?" "So did the ones who got past us last night," said Jodi. "They ran off into those same woods." Po's mind reeled at what they were saying. "YOU THINK THE ZOMBIES AND SKELETONS ARE… RELOCATING? LIKE, THEY'RE MOVING FROM ONE HABITAT TO ANOTHER?" he asked. "I think maybe they are," said Harper. "They're relocating from the mountain to the forest. And the village happens to be right in their way."

阿什慢慢地点了点头。“还记得我们躲在图书馆的那个晚上吗？” 他们径直穿过城镇，走进了另一边的树林，是吗？”“昨晚从我们身边经过的人也是这样，”乔迪说。 “他们跑进了那片树林。” 阿宝听了他们的话，心里一阵晕眩。 “你认为僵尸和骷髅会……迁移吗？” 比如，它们从一个栖息地搬到另一个栖息地？”他问道。 “我想也许是吧，”哈珀说。 “他们正从山上搬到森林里。 村子正好挡在他们的路上。”
