Chapter 6

Chapter 6 IN A WORLD OF EMAILS, TEXTS, AND POP-UP ADS, THE MESSAGE HAS BEEN RECEIVED…SORT OF. Harper laughed when she saw Po's new Minecraft skin. "Do you like thizzz?" he said. "Very much," said Harper. "In fact, I'd say that outfit is very bee-coming." Po, naturally, had found a bee skin. It was yellow with brown stripes, with short antennae sticking out from the head and a couple of wings in the back.

第6章在电子邮件、文本和弹出式广告的世界里，信息已经被接收……某种程度上。 当哈珀看到阿宝的新皮肤时，她笑了。 “你喜欢这个吗？”他说。 “非常喜欢。”哈帕说。“事实上，我得说这套衣服非常时髦。” 阿宝自然发现了一张蜜蜂皮。 它是黄色的，上面有棕色的条纹，头上有短触角，后面有一对翅膀。

"Do the wings work?" asked Jodi. "I wish," said Po. "But no. They're just for show." "IT'S TOO BAD WE DON'T HAVE ANY ELYTRA WINGS," said Morgan. "Then you'd be able to fly. Or glide, at least." "You know, I might be able to do something about that," said Theo. "I could import some elytra into this version of the game from my home computer." "Maybe not until we've solved that," said Morgan, and he pointed up at the Fault. "I DON'T THINK WE SHOULD BE MESSING WITH THE CODE RIGHT NOW. WE COULD MAKE THINGS WORSE." "We sort of did make things worse," said Jodi, and she gazed miserably out at the ruined forest. Most of

“翅膀有用吗？”乔迪问。 “我希望，”阿宝说。“但没有。 它们只是做做样子。”“真可惜我们没有鞘翅，”摩根说。 “然后你就能飞了。 至少可以滑翔。”“你知道，我也许能做点什么，”西奥说。 “我可以从我的家用电脑上导入一些鞘翅到这个版本的游戏中。” “也许要等我们解决了这个问题才行。”摩根指着断层说。 “我认为我们现在不应该乱动代码。 我们可能会让事情变得更糟。” “我们的确让事情变得更糟了。”乔迪说，她悲惨地望着外面被毁坏的森林。 大部分的

the trees and flowers had burned away entirely. "I FEEL ROTTEN ABOUT CAUSING SO MUCH DAMAGE." "Me too," said Po. "I think we should stay here for a little while. Maybe we can repair the forest." "No way!" said Theo. "The butterflies—the mission! That's all that matters." "Aren't you in the landscaping club?" said Po. "I'D SAY THIS AREA NEEDS SOME LANDSCAPING." "That's in real life," said Theo. "The flower forest isn't a real place with real plants, remember? It's just programmed to appear that way. It doesn't really matter if it looks nice or not." "I'm with Theo," said Morgan. "The fire was a huge distraction. We need to get back to our mission." "MAYBE THIS IS THE MISSION," said Jodi. "Maybe we need to fix our mistake." "That is what we need to fix," said Morgan, pointing to the Fault again. "We're clearly running out of time." "Ash would agree with Po and me, I bet," said Jodi. "Ash isn't here today," said Morgan. "SHE HAD A SCOUT MEETING AT HER NEW SCHOOL." He turned to Harper. "So it's up to Harper to cast the deciding vote."

树木和花朵都被烧毁了。 “造成了这么大的破坏，我感到很内疚。” “我也是，”阿宝说。“我想我们应该在这里待一会儿。 也许我们可以修复森林。” “不可能！”西奥说。“蝴蝶——任务！”这才是最重要的。” “你不是园艺俱乐部的成员吗？”阿宝说。 “我得说这个地区需要一些景观美化。” “这是现实生活，”西奥说。 “花林不是一个有真正植物的地方，记得吗？” 它只是被设定成那样。 看起来是否漂亮并不重要。” “我支持西奥，”摩根说。 “大火极大地分散了人们的注意力。 我们需要回到我们的使命上来。” “也许这就是使命，”乔迪说。 “也许我们需要纠正我们的错误。” “这就是我们需要解决的问题，”摩根说，又指着断层。 “我们显然没有时间了。” “我敢打赌，阿什会同意阿宝和我的看法。”乔迪说。 “阿什今天不在这里。”摩根说。 “她在新学校开了个童子军会议。” 他转向哈帕。“因此，哈珀将投下决定性的一票。”

Harper squirmed a little. She didn't enjoy being the decision maker for the entire group. And she could see both points of view so clearly! But it felt wrong to leave such damage and destruction in their wake. "What's a flower forest biome without flowers and trees?" she said. "We can fix this place up a little and keep an eye out for bees and butterflies at the same time. As a matter of fact…" From her inventory, Harper pulled out the nest they'd saved. "I'd forgotten that!" said Theo. "I've been studying it," said Harper. "I think there are bees inside, but they won't come out while I'm holding it. SO THE FIRST STEP OF OUR FOREST RESTORATION PROJECT CAN BE FINDING A NEW TREE FOR THIS NEST." "That feels like a good compromise," said Morgan. "I actually have some flowers in my inventory," said Jodi. "I was going to use them to make dyes, but I could replant them here instead." "And I've got a couple saplings," said Theo, holding up a small tree. "I picked them up when I was gathering wood recently. I bet we could get some more in a nearby biome."

哈珀有点局促不安。她不喜欢做整个团队的决策者。 她能把两种观点都看得那么清楚！但在他们身后留下这样的破坏和破坏感觉是不对的。 “没有花和树的花林生物群落是什么？”她说。 “我们可以把这个地方整修一下，同时留意蜜蜂和蝴蝶。 事实上……”哈珀从她的清单里拿出了他们保存下来的鸟巢。 “我都忘了！”西奥说。 “我一直在研究它，”哈珀说。 “我想里面有蜜蜂，但我拿着它的时候它们不会出来。 因此，我们森林恢复项目的第一步可以是为这个巢穴找到一棵新树。” “感觉这是一个很好的妥协，”摩根说。 乔迪说：“我的库存里其实有一些花。” “我本来打算用它们来做染料，但我可以把它们重新种在这里。” “我还种了几棵小树苗，”西奥说着，举起一棵小树。 “我最近捡木头的时候捡到的。 我打赌我们可以在附近的生物群落里找到更多的。”

"Buzz buzz," said Po. "I like thizz plan!" They got to work. And Harper found herself having fun. When they'd reacted to the fire, they had all tried different tactics. The energy had been frantic, and they'd all panicked a little. But now they were working together as a team. They discussed where to put each flower. "THESE DANDELIONS LOOK SO HAPPY IN THIS PATCH OF SUNLIGHT," said Jodi. They worked out the best place to plant saplings. "If we put four of them together like this, they'll grow into a single big tree," said Morgan.

“嗡嗡嗡，”阿宝说。“我喜欢这个计划！”他们开始工作了。 哈珀发现自己玩得很开心。 当他们对火灾做出反应时，他们都尝试了不同的策略。 能量已经疯狂了，他们都有点惊慌失措。 但现在他们作为一个团队一起工作。 他们讨论了把每朵花放在哪里。 “这些蒲公英在这片阳光下看起来很快乐，”乔迪说。 他们算出了种树苗的最佳地点。 “如果我们像这样把四棵树放在一起，它们就会长成一棵大树。”摩根说。

They all looked for the perfect spot to leave the bees' nest. "That oak tree looks juzzt right," said Po, pointing. Harper did the honors. She climbed a staircase of dirt and placed the nest high in the tree. Almost as soon as she did so, it buzzed with activity. "It's working," said Harper, hopping back down the staircase. "Here they come!"

他们都在寻找离开蜂巢的最佳地点。 “那棵橡树看起来不错，”阿宝指着说。 哈珀尽了最大的努力。她爬上一段泥土楼梯，把鸟巢高高挂在树上。 几乎就在她这样做的时候，它就嗡嗡作响了。 “起作用了。”哈珀说着跳下楼梯。 “他们来了！”
