5 Moms and Dads

Five moms and dads. ZEKE JOINED HIS PARENTS in the living room. All three floated upside down in the air, up near the ceiling. "I'm not certain it was wise to show your friends all that Tragas technology," said Xad.

五个爸爸妈妈。齐克和他的父母一起来到客厅。 三个人都在空中倒挂着，离天花板很近。 “我不确定向你的朋友展示特拉加斯的技术是否明智，”萨德说。

"You're the one who was so obvious when you inspected their clothes!" Quar said. "I think it's all okay," said Zeke. "Harris may still be a little suspicious, but he's the only one." "Well, just be careful, Zeke," said Xad. Zeke rolled his eyes. "It's fine, Xad."

“是你在检查他们的衣服时表现得如此明显！”砂岩说。 “我想这没什么，”齐克说。 “哈里斯也许还有点怀疑，但他是唯一一个。” “好吧，小心点，齐克，”萨德说。 齐克翻了个白眼。“没事的，萨德。”

Meanwhile at Harris's house, his parents wanted to hear all about his visit to Zeke's. "I hope you were nice to Zeke," said his mom. "Yeah, no more alien talk," added his dad. "No, no, we just played some games, that's all," said Harris. Games from another planet! he thought. Even if they were kind of fun...

与此同时，在哈里斯家，他的父母想听听他去齐克家的所有事情。 “我希望你对齐克很好，”他妈妈说。 “是啊，不许再谈外星人了，”他爸爸补充道。 “不，不，我们只是玩了一些游戏，仅此而已。”哈里斯说。 来自另一个星球的游戏！他想。 即使它们很有趣……

"Did Zeke's parents tell you anything about Tragas?" asked his dad. "I'm still surprised no one has ever heard of it." "It's true. They're our new next- door neighbors, but we know so little about them," said his mom. Harris saw a familiar expression coming across his mom's face. Uh-oh, he thought.

“齐克的父母跟你说过特拉格斯的事吗？”他爸爸问。 “我还是很惊讶没人听说过它。” “这是真的。他们是我们的新邻居，但我们对他们知之甚少，”他妈妈说。 哈里斯看到妈妈脸上浮现出熟悉的表情。 哦哦，他想。

"Why don't we invite Zeke and his parents here for dinner?" asked his mom. "What a great idea!" said his dad. Harris was shocked. The aliens... here?! Zeke is one thing, but the parents with their odd food and their strange questions? I can't believe Mom is serious!

“我们为什么不邀请齐克和他的父母来吃晚饭呢？”他的妈妈问。 “好主意！”他爸爸说。 哈里斯大吃一惊。外星人…… 在这里? !齐克是一回事，但那些吃奇怪食物问奇怪问题的父母呢？ 我不敢相信妈妈是认真的！

"Roxy can come, too, "his mom added. Hmm, Harris thought. Maybe this isn't a bad thing after all. Maybe seeing Zeke and his parents doing weird stuff at my house, in front of my parents, will be the proof I need to get everyone to realize that Zeke really is an alien. "Sounds good, Mom," said Harris.

“罗克西也可以来，”他妈妈补充说。 嗯，哈里斯想。也许这并不是一件坏事。 也许看到齐克和他父母在我家，当着我父母的面做些奇怪的事，就能证明我需要让大家意识到齐克真的是个外星人。 “听起来不错，妈妈。”哈里斯说。
