Chapter 4

Chapter 4 EXCUSE ME, FELLOW MINECRAFT PLAYERS, WE DON'T WANT TO ALARM YOU, BUT FIRE!!! As he watched the flames spread through the forest biome, Theo froze with inaction. Fire was dangerous and destructive. No one would blame Theo for being afraid. But Theo wasn't afraid. He was too busy feeling annoyed. "Everyone, get clear," said Morgan. "And don't panic! We can retreat to the taiga biome. WE'LL COME BACK WHEN IT'S SAFE." "No!" said Theo. "It might be too late by then." "Too late?" said Ash. "What do you mean?" "THOSE BEES," said Theo. "THEY WERE TRYING TO COMMUNICATE WITH US. They were trying to tell us something. And now…Oh no!"

对不起，《我的世界》的玩家们，我们不想吓唬你们，但是开火！！看着火焰在森林生物群系中蔓延，西奥呆呆地呆住了。 火既危险又具有破坏性。 没人会怪西奥害怕。 但是西奥并不害怕。他太忙了，觉得很烦。 “所有人，让开。”摩根说。 “不要惊慌！”我们可以退到针叶林。 等安全了我们再回来。” “不！”西奥说。“到那时可能就太晚了。” “太晚了？”阿什说。“你是什么意思？”“那些蜜蜂，”西奥说。 “他们试图和我们沟通。 他们想告诉我们什么。 现在……哦，不！”

Theo's heart sank as he saw it happen. Fire had spread to a nearby oak tree…destroying one of the bees' nests in a matter of seconds. "We have to do something," said Theo. "WE HAVE TO GIVE THE BEES ANOTHER CHANCE TO DELIVER THEIR MESSAGE." "I see what Theo means," said Harper. "If the bees are destroyed, we might lose our chance to fix the Evoker King." "It would also be bad for the bees," said Jodi. "I'm sure they would love to not be destroyed today." "Okay," said Ash. "New plan. STOP THE FIRE! SAVE THE BEES!" They scattered, each doing their best to stop flames from spreading.

西奥看到这一切时，心一沉。 大火已经蔓延到附近的一棵橡树，几秒钟内就烧毁了一个蜜蜂的巢穴。 “我们必须做点什么，”西奥说。 “我们必须再给蜜蜂一次传递信息的机会。” “我明白西奥的意思了。”哈珀说。 “如果蜜蜂被摧毁了，我们可能就失去了修复易逝之王的机会。” “这对蜜蜂也不好，”乔迪说。 “我敢肯定，他们不希望今天被摧毁。” “好吧，”阿什说。“新计划。 灭火！救救蜜蜂！”他们四散奔逃，每个人都尽力阻止火势蔓延。

Morgan and Ash ran to a nearby stream and filled their buckets with water. "DO YOU THINK THIS WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE?" asked Ash. "It will if we use this water to set up a whole new water source," said Morgan. "We could actually create a river in the heart of the forest." "Sounds like a plan," said Ash. "I'LL DIG SOME CANALS," offered Harper, and she pulled out her shovel. "Even if we don't fill them with water, the gaps should stop the fire from spreading across the grass." As Harper started carving lines through the landscape, Theo finally sprang into action. He followed

摩根和阿什跑到附近的小溪边，把水桶装满了水。 “你认为这会有什么不同吗？”阿什问。 摩根说：“如果我们用这些水建立一个全新的水源，就会有帮助。” “我们实际上可以在森林的中心建造一条河。” “听起来是个计划。”阿什说。 “我来挖几条运河。”哈帕说着，抽出铲子。 “即使我们不用水填满它们，这些缝隙也应该能阻止火势蔓延到草地上。” 当哈珀开始在风景中雕刻线条时，西奥终于开始行动了。 他跟着

close behind Harper, grabbing the dirt blocks that she left in her wake. "I can use these to make walls of dirt. THEY'LL BE LIKE BARRIERS AGAINST THE FLAMES." "DON'T TRAP THE ANIMALS!" said Jodi. She ran ahead of Harper and Theo, moving toward the heart of the forest with a sheaf of wheat in her hand. "If they get stuck behind your canals or your walls of dirt, they'll be in a lot of danger!" "I'd better get the trident we left behind," said Po. "The last thing we need is a second lightning strike." Theo stopped. "TRIDENT?" he echoed. "Po, did you cause this fire?" "Busy now," said Po as he rushed past them. "Talk later!" Jodi emerged from between the trees, leading a sheep to safety. "IT'S MY FAULT," she said. "I put the trident down and then forgot about it. I'm really sorry."

紧跟在哈珀身后，抓住她身后留下的土块。 “我可以用这些泥土做墙。 它们就像火焰的屏障。” “不要诱捕动物！”乔迪说。 她跑在哈珀和西奥的前面，手里拿着一捆小麦向森林的中心走去。 “如果它们卡在你的运河或泥土墙后面，它们就会有很大的危险！”“我最好去拿我们落下的三叉戟，”阿宝说。 “我们最不需要的就是第二次雷击。” 西奥停了下来。“三叉戟？” “阿宝，是你放的火吗？”“现在很忙，”阿宝从他们身边冲过去时说。 “待会儿再谈!”乔迪从树丛中走出来，牵着一只羊到安全的地方。 “这是我的错，”她说。 “我把三叉戟放下，然后就把它忘了。 我真的很抱歉。”

"Tell that to the bees," Theo said. As he watched, another nest fell into the flames. "WE HAVE TO GET THOSE NESTS OUT OF HERE," said Theo. "We're losing too many of them." "There's a nest right over there." Harper pointed at a nearby tree with her shovel. "Should I cut it out of the tree?" she asked. "Wait!" said Morgan. "If you use that, you'll just destroy it." "We need a pickaxe with a Silk Touch enchantment," said Ash, and she ran to Harper's side. "I HAVE SOME LAPIS. Do you have an enchanting table?" Harper nodded, placing the workstation down beside the tree. On either side of the enchanting table, she set down bookcases. "I'm going to need a minute," she said. "Someone keep an eye on the fire, please." "I've got your back," said Theo, and he placed a dirt barrier all around the tree—and around Harper, who was now free to work without fear of the flames reaching her. The pickaxe she was working on glowed purple with magic, but Harper shook her head. "That didn't work right," she said. "It's a Fortune enchantment."

“把这话告诉蜜蜂吧，”西奥说。 就在他看着的时候，另一个鸟巢掉进了火焰中。 “我们得把这些巢弄出去。”西奥说。 “我们失去了太多这样的人。” “那边有个窝。” 哈珀用铲子指着附近的一棵树。 “我应该把它从树上砍下来吗？”她问。 “等等！”摩根说。“如果你用它，只会毁掉它。” “我们需要一把有丝绸之触魔法的鹤嘴锄。”阿什说着，跑到哈珀身边。 “我有一些青金石。你有一张迷人的桌子吗？”哈珀点了点头，把工作站放在树旁边。 在那张迷人的桌子两侧，她放下了几个书架。 “我需要一分钟，”她说。 “请有人照看一下火。” “我支持你。”西奥说，他在树周围——也在哈珀周围——放了一个土栅栏，哈珀现在可以自由地工作了，不用担心火焰会烧到她。 她正在用的那把鹤嘴锄发出了紫色的魔法光，但哈珀摇了摇头。 “这行不通，”她说。 “这是幸运魔咒。”

"KEEP TRYING," said Theo, and he handed her a spare pickaxe. "You'll get the right enchantment eventually." He just hoped it happened before they ran out of materials in their inventory. "THAT DID IT!" Harper said after the third try. She lifted the glowing tool from the enchanting table and tossed it to Ash, who was closest to the nest. Ash smiled, and her new pickaxe seemed to glow more brightly as it swung through the air, cutting the bees' nest loose from the tree. Harper caught the nest and carried it to safety. Theo hoped that would be enough. He hoped the bee being wasn't lost to them forever.

“继续努力，”西奥说着，递给她一把备用的鹤嘴锄。 “你最终会得到正确的魔法。” 他只是希望这件事发生在他们的库存材料用完之前。 “就是这样！”哈珀在第三次尝试后说。 她从迷人的桌子上拿起发光的工具，扔给离鸟巢最近的艾什。 艾什笑了，她的新鹤嘴锄在空中挥来挥去，把蜜蜂的巢从树上砍下来，显得更亮了。 哈珀抓住了鸟巢，把它带到安全的地方。 西奥希望这就够了。 他希望他们不会永远失去蜜蜂。
