6 The Ship

Six. The ship. HARRIS AND ZEKE SLIPPED OUT the back door and into the backyard. The entire yard was surrounded by trees so no neighbors could see in. Harris looked all around. "Um, I don't see a spaceship, Zeke," he said.

六。这艘船。哈里斯和齐克从后门溜进了后院。 整个院子都被树包围着，所以邻居们看不见里面。 哈里斯环顾四周。“呃，我没看到宇宙飞船，齐克，”他说。

"There it is," Zeke said, pointing at a small metal shed sitting in the far corner of the yard. "What?" Harris asked. "You keep a super high-tech, galaxy-spanning spaceship that brought you here from Tragas in that rusty, old, piece-of-junk shed?"

“就在那儿，”齐克指着院子角落里的一个小金属棚说。 “什么?”哈里斯问道。“你把把你从特拉加斯带到这里来的那艘高科技的、跨越银河系的宇宙飞船，停在那个生锈的、破旧的破棚子里？”

"Um, not exactly," Zeke replied. "Actually, that rusty, old, piece-of-junk shed is the spaceship." Harris stared at Zeke, confused. Then he laughed. "And here I thought aliens had better technology!" "Watch," said Zeke. He pulled the cosmic imager out of his pocket and changed a few settings. Then he pressed a button on the device.

“嗯，不完全是，”齐克回答。 “实际上，那个生锈的、旧的、破烂的小屋就是宇宙飞船。” 哈里斯困惑地盯着齐克。 然后他笑了。“我还以为外星人有更好的技术呢！”“看，”齐克说。 他从口袋里掏出宇宙成像仪，更改了一些设置。 然后他按下了设备上的一个按钮。

Harris's jaw dropped open in amazement. The rusty, old shed started rumbling and glowing bright green. Harris heard metal creaking and watched as the walls of the shed dropped open, spun around, and started to re-form. The green light grew so bright that Harris had to shield his eyes from it.

哈里斯惊讶得张大了嘴巴。 锈迹斑斑的旧棚屋开始隆隆作响，发出绿光。 哈里斯听到金属的嘎吱声，看着小屋的墙壁打开，旋转着，开始重新成形。 绿光越来越亮，哈里斯不得不遮住眼睛。

When the light faded, a tall and gleaming silver spaceship sat in the spot where the shed had been. "That is our ship," Zeke said. "The shed was a disguise." "Wow!" said Harris, amazed. "Can we go inside?" he asked eagerly. Zeke looked around nervously. "Um... our parents should be gone for a while, so, come on!"

当光线消失时，一艘高大的、闪闪发光的银色宇宙飞船停在了小屋所在的地方。 “那是我们的船，”齐克说。 “小屋是伪装的。” “哇！”哈里斯吃惊地说。 “我们能进去吗？”他急切地问。 齐克紧张地环顾四周。 “嗯……我们的父母要离开一段时间，所以，走吧！”

Zeke pressed another button on his cosmic imager. A door on the side of the ship slid open, and a ladder came down. The two boys climbed up and slipped inside. Harris was amazed by what he saw. He had read hundreds of comic books and seen many movies about aliens and spaceships, but now here he was, standing inside a real one.

齐克按下了他的宇宙成像仪的另一个按钮。 船舷上的一扇门打开了，一架梯子掉了下来。 两个男孩爬了上去，溜了进去。 哈里斯被眼前的景象惊呆了。 他读过几百本漫画书，看过很多关于外星人和宇宙飞船的电影，但现在他站在一个真正的宇宙飞船里。
