4 Playtime!

Four playtime. THE THREE FRIENDS stepped into Zeke's room. Wow, it looks similar to my room, Harris thought. They all sat down on a couch. "Want to play a game?" Zeke asked.

四个游戏。三个好朋友走进齐克的房间。 哇，它看起来和我的房间很像，哈里斯想。 他们都坐在沙发上。 “想玩游戏吗？”齐克问道。

He pressed a button under the couch, and a large screen blazed to life on the ceiling. The three of them looked up at the screen, and Harris's jaw dropped. "I thought you didn't have video games in Tragas," said Harris.

他按下沙发下面的一个按钮，天花板上的一个大屏幕亮了起来。 他们三个抬头看着屏幕，哈里斯的下巴都掉了下来。 “我以为特拉加斯没有电子游戏，”哈里斯说。

"Well, not like the ones we played at your house," Zeke said. I've never seen a screen like that!" Roxy said. That's because it's alien technology! Harris thought. "We have a lot of high-tech stuff in Tragas. This game is called Monster Mania. You battle all kinds of monsters. But here's the coolest part." Instead of giving Harris and Roxy hand-held controllers, Zeke placed a helmet onto each of their heads, and then placed one on himself.

“嗯，不像我们在你家玩的那种。”齐克说。 我从来没见过那样的屏幕！”诺克斯说。 那是因为这是外星科技！哈里斯认为。 “我们在Tragas有很多高科技产品。 这款游戏叫做《Monster Mania》。 你与各种怪物战斗。 但这是最酷的部分。” 齐克没有给哈里斯和罗克西提供手持控制器，而是给他们每人戴了一个头盔，然后自己也戴了一个。

"You create and control your avatar onscreen with your mind, not your fingers!" said Zeke. "And the monsters you battle also come from your own mind." Zeke's avatar was a giant bird. When a fire-breathing, three-headed dragon appeared, Zeke controlled his bird with his mind and defeated the dragon.

Zeke说：“你可以用大脑而不是手指来创造和控制屏幕上的角色。 “你与之战斗的怪物也来自你自己的思想。” 齐克的化身是一只巨大的鸟。 当一只喷火的三头龙出现时，齐克用意念控制他的鸟，打败了这只龙。

Roxy's avatar was a warrior with a sword, shield, and armor. She battled a T. rex, but the dinosaur quickly clobbered her. "This is hard!" she said. "Keep playing. You'll get the hang of it," said Zeke. Harris's avatar was a superhero with bulging muscles and a long cape. He fought a cyclops who swung a big wooden club. Despite his superpowers, Harris's avatar was overcome.

罗克西的化身是一个手持剑、盾牌和盔甲的战士。 她和霸王龙搏斗，但恐龙很快就把她打败了。 “这太难了！”她说。“继续玩。 你会找到窍门的，”齐克说。 哈里斯的化身是一个肌肉发达、披着长斗篷的超级英雄。 他和一个挥舞着大木棍的独眼巨人搏斗。 尽管拥有超能力，哈里斯的化身还是被征服了。

An army of trolls soon rushed at the three avatars. "Work together!" said Zeke. "If we focus our thoughts on each others' avatars, we can defeat these trolls as a team!"

一群巨魔很快冲向这三个化身。 齐克说：“一起努力！” “如果我们把注意力集中在彼此的头像上，我们就能团结起来打败这些巨魔！”
