Chapter 13

Chapter 13 THEY SAY LIGHTNING NEVER STRIKES THICE. BUT "THEY" DONFT HAVE A TRIDENT OF CHANNELING. When they returned to Minecraft, Po and the others had just a short way to go until they would arrive at the witch's hut. And the brown mooshroom she was expecting…was still red. Po had other things on his mind, though. "YOU GUYS…I THINK I WANT A GOLDFISH," he said. Morgan glared at him. "NOT NOW, PO." "But—" Morgan cleared his throat and inclined his head in Jodi's direction. She had been quiet ever since the incident in the park. Obviously, her own plan to get a pet was not going well.

他们说闪电永远不会击中你。 但是“他们”没有通灵的三叉戟。 当他们回到《我的世界》时，阿宝和其他人还有很短的一段路要走，直到他们到达女巫的小屋。 而她期待的棕色蘑菇……仍然是红色的。 不过阿宝脑子里还有别的事。 “伙计们……我想我想要一条金鱼，”他说。 摩根瞪着他。“现在不行，阿宝。” “但是——”摩根清了清喉咙，朝乔迪的方向低下头。 自从在公园发生了那件事之后，她一直很安静。 显然，她自己养宠物的计划并不顺利。

"Sorry," said Po, realizing that he hadn't been thinking of Jodi's feelings. He moved to her side and pushed his blocky shoulder against hers. "Hey, cheer up, kid," he said. "I'M SURE YOU'LL GET A PET EVENTUALLY." Jodi frowned. "Baron Sweetcheeks is limping. And my brother sneezes every time he even looks at a dog." She shook her head sadly. "I think this is one dream I have to let go." "Well, Morgan's older than you, so he has to move out one day, right?" Po snickered, but Jodi didn't respond to his joke. "Seriously, though," said Po. "What happened to the Baron wasn't your fault." As soon as Po said that word, he realized something. "HEY. THE FAULT," he said. "I CAN'T SEE IT." "It's the storm clouds," said Jodi. "They sort of suit my mood today." Rain had already begun to fall. "Yeah, normally I hate stormy weather," Po said. "But today, it's just what we need." "This is perfect!" said Harper. "IT'S TIME TO CALL DOWN SOME LIGHTNING. Jodi, you shouldn't stand too close to Michael." "Can I do it, Harper?" asked Po. "CAN I THROW THE TRIDENT?"

“对不起，”阿宝说，他意识到自己没有考虑到乔迪的感受。 他走到她身边，用他那粗壮的肩膀抵住她的肩膀。 “嘿，振作起来，孩子，”他说。 “我相信你最终会养宠物的。” 乔迪•皱起了眉头。“甜颊男爵一瘸一拐的。 我弟弟每次看到狗都会打喷嚏。” 她伤心地摇了摇头。“我认为这是我必须放弃的一个梦想。” “摩根比你大，总有一天他会搬出去的，对吧？”阿宝窃笑，但乔迪没有回应他的玩笑。 “说真的，”阿宝说。 “男爵的事不是你的错。” 阿宝一说出这个词，他就意识到了什么。 “嘿。错，”他说。 “我看不见。”“是暴风雨的云，”乔迪说。 “它们有点适合我今天的心情。” 雨已经开始下了。 “是的，通常我讨厌暴风雨天气，”阿宝说。 “但今天，这正是我们所需要的。” “这太完美了！”哈珀说。 “是时候召唤闪电了。” 乔迪，你不该站得离迈克尔太近。” “我能做到吗，哈珀？”阿宝问。 “我能扔三叉戟吗？”

Harper didn't seem too sure about that. "You know how important this is, right?" "Yes!" said Po. "I can be serious. You've seen me play basketball, right?" He crossed his chicken-wing arms. "I've got great aim, and I don't choke under pressure." Harper handed over the trident. It still glowed with magic. "Just don't throw it directly at the mooshroom," said Harper. "A block or two away from him will work fine." "Got it," said Po. "More like a lightning rod, less like a steak fork." As the rain fell harder, Po gripped the trident tight. He lined up the shot. He threw it…

哈珀对此似乎不太确定。 “你知道这有多重要，对吧？”“是的！”阿宝说。 “我可以是认真的。你看过我打篮球，对吧？”他交叉着像鸡翅膀一样的双臂。 “我的目标很明确，我不会在压力下窒息。” 哈珀把三叉戟递给了他。 它仍然散发着魔力。 “别直接朝蘑菇扔就行了。”哈珀说。 “离他一两个街区就行了。” “明白了，”阿宝说。“更像是避雷针，而不是牛排叉。” 雨下得更大了，阿宝紧紧地抓着三叉戟。 他对准了镜头。他把它扔了……

…and he missed his target by several yards. "What was that?!" asked Morgan. "Sorry!" said Po. "I was distracted by that pig." They all turned to look. Po was right—a pig had wandered up to them. It saw the trident stuck in the ground nearby, and, curious, it approached the enchanted weapon and gave it a sniff. Just then, a great bolt of lightning shot down from the heavens.

他差几码没击中目标 “那是什么？！”摩根问。 “对不起！”阿宝说。“我被那头猪弄得心烦意乱。” 他们都转过头去看。阿宝是对的，一只猪向他们走来。 它看见三叉戟卡在附近的地上，出于好奇，它走近那件施了魔法的武器，嗅了嗅。 就在这时，一道巨大的闪电从天上射下来。

Po turned away from the searing brightness. And when he turned back…the pig had been transformed. Standing where the cute little animal had been, there was now a strange creature that appeared half pig and half human…with its face partially melted away to reveal a gleaming skull. "PIGLIN!" he cried. He pulled his sword from his inventory. "It's a zombified piglin!"

阿宝从灼热的火光中转过身去。 当他回头的时候，那头猪已经变形了。 站在那个可爱的小动物原来的地方，现在出现了一个奇怪的东西，半猪半人……它的脸一半融化了，露出一个闪闪发光的头骨。 “小猪！”他叫道。他从清单中抽出剑。 “这是一只僵尸化的小猪！”

"I thought they only spawned in the Nether," said Jodi. She hurried back to Michael's side, raising her shield. "Let's everybody stay calm," whispered Morgan. "They aren't hostile, remember? IF WE DON'T ATTACK IT, THEN IT WON'T ATTACK US." Po found that hard to believe. The mob looked dangerous. It was even holding a sword made of solid gold! But the zombified piglin sniffed again at the trident, looked around at the kids, and shuffled off into the storm. Po had a funny feeling they hadn't seen the last of it.

“我以为它们只在阴间产卵呢。”乔迪说。 她急忙回到迈克尔身边，举起她的盾牌。 “大家都保持冷静。”摩根小声说。 “他们没有敌意，记得吗？” 如果我们不攻击它，它就不会攻击我们。” 阿宝觉得难以置信。 暴徒看起来很危险。它甚至拿着一把纯金做的剑！但那只变成僵尸的小猪又嗅了嗅三叉戟，看了看孩子们，拖着脚走进了暴风雨。 阿宝有一种奇怪的感觉，他们还没看完。
