10 The Climb

Ten, the climb, ZEKE AND PAUL STARTED CLIMBING. They both moved quickly up the tree. This would be so much easier if I could just use my powers, Zeke thought. Harris really wanted to climb the tree, but he just couldn't seem to make himself walk over to it and begin.

十、爬坡，齐克和保罗开始爬坡。 他们俩都迅速爬上了树。 齐克想，如果我能使用我的超能力，事情就简单多了。 哈里斯很想爬上那棵树，但他似乎就是无法让自己走过去动手。

Zeke glanced down and saw that Harris was still standing on the ground. He looked up at Paul, who was reaching for a branch high above him.

齐克低头一看，哈里斯还站在地上。 他抬头看了看保罗，他正伸手去抓他头顶上的一根树枝。

Zeke climbed back down. "Let's climb together, okay?" Zeke asked. Harris took a deep breath and stepped onto the lowest branch. "Just go slowly, Harris," Zeke said. "I won't let anything happen to you." Harris nodded and slowly made his way up the tree. He had only gotten a little way up when he heard Paul's voice from above.

齐克爬了下来。“我们一起爬吧，好吗？”齐克问道。 哈里斯深吸了一口气，走到最低的一根树枝上。 “慢慢走，哈里斯。”齐克说。 “我不会让你出事的。” 哈里斯点点头，慢慢地爬上树。 他刚爬上去一点，就听到保罗的声音从上面传来。

"I beat both of you! Look at me!" Paul shouted from the highest branch. "I'm king of the tree!" Paul raised his arms to the sky in victory, but somehow lost his balance and fell. He plunged toward the ground below.

“我打败了你们两个！”看着我！”保罗在最高的树枝上喊道。 “我是树之王！”保罗高举双臂庆祝胜利，但不知怎的，他失去了平衡，摔倒了。 他一头扎向下面的地面。

"Aaahhh!" he cried. Harris looked up helplessly and winced. There was nothing he could do to help. Zeke closed his eyes and focused on Paul. He had to use his powers, but he couldn't be too obvious about it. Zeke slowed Paul down a bit until he was just two feet from the ground, then he let Paul hit the ground at normal speed.

“啊——”他叫道。哈里斯无助地抬起头，皱起了眉头。 他帮不上什么忙。 齐克闭上眼睛，盯着保罗。 他必须使用他的能力，但他不能表现得太明显。 齐克放慢了保罗的速度，直到他离地面只有两英尺，然后他让保罗以正常的速度撞到地面。

Climbing down quickly, Zeke and Harris rushed to Paul's side and helped him to his feet. Are you all right?" asked Harris. "Yeah," said Paul, dazed. "It was weird. As I was falling, I felt like something was holding me, even slowing me down. I'm not sure exactly what happened. It's kind of a blur."

齐克和哈里斯迅速爬下来，冲到保罗身边，扶他站起来。 你没事吧？”哈里斯问。 “是啊，”保罗茫然地说。“这很奇怪。 当我坠落的时候，我觉得有什么东西在拉着我，甚至让我慢下来。 我不确定到底发生了什么。 这有点模糊。”
