7 Lost in the stars

Chapter Seven LOST IN THE STARS. Roshni was spinning head over heels, as if she were on a crazy fairground ride that she couldn't escape. The stars wheeled around her. "Don't panic," she said aloud to herself. "Whatever you do, don't panic." But it was very hard not to, with her stomach doing somersaults and the Beagle drifting steadily away.

第七章迷失在星辰中。 Roshni翻来倒去，就好像她在一个疯狂的游乐场里，无法逃脱。 星星在她周围旋转。 “别慌，”她大声对自己说。 “无论你做什么，都不要惊慌。” 但她的肚子在翻腾，小猎犬号在稳步地漂开，她很难不这么做。

Every time she flipped over, she saw the same things pass by. She glimpsed the Beagle, the Odin probe, Jupiter, and the comet fragments about to crash into it. It was making her feel dizzy. If only there were some way she could stop spinning, or something she could grab hold of! What was it Ollie had said? Imagine you're in a beautiful rain forest. Take deep breaths… Well, it had worked before, hadn't it? She took a deep breath—and suddenly she realized she was in even more danger than she'd known. The only air she had to breathe was the air in her suit tanks. She didn't even know how much of it was left after her first space walk. An hour? Or only a few minutes?

每次她翻个身，都会看到同样的东西从身边经过。 她瞥见了小猎犬号、奥丁探测器、木星和即将撞上它的彗星碎片。 这使她感到头晕。 要是有什么办法能让她停止旋转，或者什么东西能让她抓住就好了！奥利说了些什么？ 想象你在一个美丽的雨林里。 深呼吸……嗯，以前有过效果，不是吗？ 她深吸了一口气——突然她意识到她所处的危险比她想象的还要大。 她唯一需要呼吸的空气就是她宇航服里的空气。 她甚至不知道第一次太空行走后还剩下多少。 一个小时?还是只有几分钟？

"I'm not going to panic," she whispered. "I'm a Secret Explorer. I'll find a way out of this, somehow…" It didn't seem like things could possibly get any worse. But they did. She saw the airlock doors on the Beagle close. Roshni felt cold all over. Now I'll never get back inside… But just as she was on the verge of giving up hope, they opened again. There was Ollie standing in the airlock, wearing the second space suit!

“我不会惊慌的，”她低声说。 “我是一个秘密探险家。不管怎样，我会找到解决办法的……”事情似乎不可能变得更糟了。 但他们做到了。她看见小猎犬号上的气闸门关上了。 罗什尼觉得浑身冰凉。 现在我再也回不去了……但就在她快要放弃希望的时候，门又打开了。 奥利站在气闸里，穿着第二套太空服！

With one hand, he was waving to Roshni. In his other hand, he was holding something like a long rope. Where did he find that? Roshni wondered. She hadn't seen a rope on board the Beagle. Ollie spun the rope's end around and let go of it. It came uncoiling toward Roshni, wobbling and wavering through space. She lost sight of it as she spun all the way over yet again. As she came back around, she saw the rope was getting closer. On her next flip, it was closer still.

他用一只手向罗什尼挥手。 他的另一只手拿着像长绳一样的东西。 他在哪里找到的？Roshni很好奇。 她没有看到小猎犬号上有绳子。 奥利把绳子的一端转了一圈，松开了绳子。 它向罗什尼展开，在太空中摇摆不定。 她又转了一圈，看不见它了。 当她回来时，她看到绳子越来越近了。 第二次翻转时，距离更近了。

After one more spin, it would be close enough to catch! She reached out, her hand open as she turned another full circle. There was the rope, drifting right by her head. She grabbed the rope, wrapped it around her waist and tied it securely. "Phew!" she sighed. Ollie backed into the airlock, where red warning lights were furiously blinking. Roshni watched as he took hold of the rope with both hands and began to pull. Slowly but surely, Ollie hauled Roshni back toward the airlock.

再转一圈，它就能接住了！她伸出手，张开手，又转了一圈。 绳子就在她的头旁边飘过。 她抓住绳子，把它缠在腰上，牢牢地系好。 “呸！”她叹了口气。奥利倒进了气闸，红色警示灯正猛烈地闪烁着。 罗什尼看着他双手抓住绳子开始拉。 奥利缓慢而坚定地把罗什尼拖回气闸。

The moment she was all the way inside, Ollie punched the door control and the outer doors slid shut. The airlock's red warning lights turned green. Roshni gave him a huge, slightly awkward hug. It wasn't easy to hug someone when you were wearing a big, bulky space suit! Ollie hugged her back as best he could.

她刚一进去，奥利就按了一下门控，外面的门就自动关上了。 气闸的红色警示灯变成了绿色。 Roshni给了他一个大大的，有点尴尬的拥抱。 当你穿着一件又大又笨重的太空服时，拥抱别人是不容易的！奥利紧紧抱住她的背。
