9 Roxy Learns the Truth

Nine. Roxy learns the truth. I CAN'T STAND JUST SITTING HERE feeling lonely and sad, Harris thought. He decided to call Roxy to see if she could come over. A short while later, she arrived. "Why so sad?" Roxy asked, seeing Harris's expression. "It's Zeke," Harris said.

九个。罗克西知道了真相。 我不能只是坐在这里感到孤独和悲伤，哈里斯想。 他决定打电话给罗克西，看她能不能过来。 过了一会儿，她来了。 “为什么这么难过？”罗克希看到哈里斯的表情，问道。 “是齐克，”哈里斯说。

"Zeke? Is he alright?" Roxy asked, sounding worried. "No... I mean, yes. He's okay, but no." Harris stumbled over his words, getting more and more upset. "Okay, calm down and just tell me what's going on," Roxy said. "Zeke's going home," Harris said.

“齐克?他还好吗？”罗克西问，听起来很担心。 “不…我是说，是的。他没事，但不行。” 哈里斯结结巴巴地说不出话来，心里越来越难过。 “好吧，冷静下来，告诉我发生了什么事，”罗克西说。 “齐克要回家了。”哈里斯说。

"Home? You mean to Tragas?" Roxy asked. Harris nodded. "His parents' research here is done." "Oh, wow. That is sad," Roxy said. "But, hey, we can go visit him in Tragas. I think it would be fun to visit another country." She was doing her best to try to cheer him up.

“回家?你是说去特拉加斯吗？”罗克西问道。 哈里斯点点头。“他父母在这里的研究已经完成了。” “哦,哇。这太可悲了，”罗克西说。 “但是，嘿，我们可以去特拉加斯看他。 我想去另一个国家旅游一定很有趣。” 她在尽力使他高兴起来。

Harris looked away. He thought about how when Zeke arrived, he tried to prove that Zeke was an alien. Then he thought about how Zeke trusted him and told him the truth, and how he did everything he could since then to protect his friend's secret. He always felt bad about lying to Roxy. She was Zeke's friend, too, and she was Harris's best friend. They never had a secret between them, except for this one.

哈里斯把目光移开。他想起齐克来的时候，他试图证明齐克是个外星人。 然后他想到齐克是如何信任他并告诉他真相的，以及从那以后他是如何尽一切努力保护他朋友的秘密的。 他总是为对罗克西撒谎感到愧疚。 她也是齐克的朋友，也是哈里斯最好的朋友。 他们之间从来没有秘密，除了这个。

Well, that's about to change, Harris thought. He was sure that Zeke wouldn't be upset about him telling Roxy. Zeke trusted me, and I trust Roxy. "Roxy," Harris said. "Tragas is not a country... it's a planet."

好吧，这就要改变了，哈里斯想。 他确信齐克不会因为他告诉罗克西而生气。 齐克信任我，我也信任洛克希。 “罗克西，”哈里斯说。“Tragas不是一个国家…… 它是一颗行星。”

"A planet?" Roxy asked, confused. "What are you talking about? Wait... you're not going to start with that 'Zeke is an alien stuff' again just because he's leaving, are you?!" Roxy asked, shaking her head. "I thought you were over that. You're his friend now!"

“一颗行星?”罗克西疑惑地问。 “你在说什么？” 等待……你不会因为齐克要走就又开始说‘齐克是个外星人’吧？！”罗克西摇着头问道。 “我以为你已经过去了。 你现在是他的朋友了！”
