6 Under pressure

Chapter Six UNDER PRESSURE. Connor adjusted the Beagle's headlights until they were pointing down at the seabed. Then he set the Beagle so it would move automatically in a circle around where the module had fallen. That way, they would have the best chance of spotting it. "Do you see it yet?" he asked Roshni. "Not yet," she said.

第六章压力之下。 康纳调整了小猎犬号的前灯，直到它们指向海底。 然后他设置了小猎犬号，这样它就会自动绕着落舱的位置转一圈。 这样，他们才最有可能发现它。 “你看到了吗？”他问罗什尼。 “还没有，”她说。

"Come on," Connor said through gritted teeth. "Where is it?" Above them, in the darkness, rainbow light glimmered. Roshni gasped. "What's that?" Connor recognized it at once. "It's a real jellyfish this time! It's called a comb jelly. Another bioluminescent species." "It's pretty!" said Roshni. "It looks like it's covered in tiny stars." The jellyfish was about 18 inches long. It floated above their heads, bright twinkles sparkling on its transparent body.

“来吧，”康纳咬紧牙关说。 “它在哪儿？”在他们头顶的黑暗中，彩虹的光芒闪烁着。 Roshni气喘吁吁地说。“那是什么?”康纳立刻认出了它。 “这次是真正的水母！”它被称为栉水母。 另一种生物发光物种。” “很漂亮！”Roshni说。 “它看起来就像被小星星覆盖着。” 这只水母大约有18英寸长。 它漂浮在他们的头顶上，透明的身体上闪烁着明亮的光芒。

"Why do the creatures down here glow?" Roshni asked. "Lots of reasons," Connor said. "Scientists think it might be a way to communicate with other creatures, or to lure prey so they can catch it. Or they might be trying to scare away rivals." "But there aren't any other creatures here," Roshni said thoughtfully. "Unless…" She grabbed the headlight control and swiveled the beams of light in the direction the comb jelly had come from.

“为什么这里的生物会发光？”Roshni问道。 “有很多原因，”康纳说。 科学家们认为，这可能是一种与其他生物交流的方式，或者是引诱猎物，这样它们就能抓住它。 或者他们可能是想吓跑竞争对手。” “但这里没有其他生物。”罗什尼若有所思地说。 “除非……”她抓住前灯的控制装置，把光束对准蜂窝状水母出现的方向旋转。

There, wedged in an outcrop of undersea rock, was the missing navigation module! "Maybe the jelly thought the module was another creature!" Connor exclaimed. "Thanks, little guy," Roshni called back at the departing jelly. Connor extended the robotic arm, took hold of the navigation module and stowed it safely in the storage compartment. The Beagle let out a long beep that sounded a lot like "Phew!" Connor felt relieved, too. Now they could get back to their mission! He just hoped it wasn't too late for the lost whale calf.

在那里，被嵌在海底岩石的一块露头里的，是丢失的导航模块！“也许果冻以为太空舱是另一种生物！”Connor喊道。 “谢谢你，小家伙。”罗什尼对离开的果冻喊道。 康纳伸出机械臂，抓住导航模块，把它安全地放在储物舱里。 小猎犬发出一声长长的嘟嘟声，听起来很像“呸！”康纳也松了口气。 现在他们可以回去执行任务了！他只是希望现在对失去的小鲸鱼来说还不算太晚。

He brought the Beagle back up to the surface. Then he lowered himself through the hatch and climbed up the outside of the sub and onto the roof. Roshni used the robotic arm to lift the navigation module back into place. Connor did his best to reconnect all the wires and cables, but engineering wasn't his specialty subject. Sparks shot out, and the Beagle made an unhappy EEP! Connor climbed back inside the cabin. "I don't think we can do this by ourselves. We'd better call the others," he told Roshni.

他把小猎犬号带回了水面。 然后他从舱口下去，爬上了潜艇的外部，登上了屋顶。 Roshni使用机械臂将导航模块抬回原位。 康纳尽力重新连接了所有的电线和电缆，但工程不是他的专业。 火花迸射出来，小猎犬发出一声不高兴的呼噜声！康纳爬回小屋。 “我不认为我们自己能做到这一点。 我们最好给其他人打电话，”他告诉罗什尼。

Roshni switched on the communications panel. "Beagle calling Exploration Station! We need help!" An image of the Exploration Station appeared on the screen, showing all the other Secret Explorers at their computers. They waved. "We've all been watching your mission on our monitors!" Leah said.

Roshni打开了通讯面板。 “贝格尔号呼叫探索站！”我们需要帮助！”屏幕上出现了一幅探索站的图像，显示了所有其他秘密探险家在他们的电脑前。 他们挥手。“我们都在监视器上看你们的任务！”利亚说。
