12 THE DAY SILKY SAVED THE DAY

CHAPTER 12 THE DAY SILKY SAVED THE DAY I looked up. Terry was right! Flying cats! A whole bunch of them...13 to be exact, with Silky in the lead! They were flying in formation, coming in low and fast, like fighter jets.

第12章丝莉拯救了我抬起头的那一天。 特里是对的！飞猫!一大堆人……准确地说，是13个，丝丝领先！它们排成队形飞行，像战斗机一样快速低空飞来。

"Oh, great," I said. "As if a giant gorilla wasn't bad enough, now we're being attacked by a flock of flying cats!" "How do you know they're attacking us?" said Terry. "Maybe they want giant bananas, too." "Cats don't eat bananas!" I said. "Everybody knows that. Besides, they look angry, not hungry!" "Maybe it's the gorilla they're after," said Terry. "Look how scared it is!" Terry had a point. The gorilla was no longer

“哦，太好了，”我说。“好像一只巨大的大猩猩还不够糟糕似的，现在我们又被一群飞猫袭击了！”“你怎么知道他们在攻击我们？”特里问。 “也许他们也想要大香蕉。” “猫不吃香蕉！”我说。 “每个人都知道。再说，他们看起来是生气，不是饿！”“也许他们要找的是大猩猩，”特里说。 “看它有多害怕！”特里说得有道理。 大猩猩不在了

shaking the tree. It was staring at the cats, its fur bristling. It roared loudly, but if the cats were worried they didn't show it. They were definitely taking aim at the gorilla. We braced ourselves for a 13-flying-cats-and- one-giant-gorilla collision. But it never came.

摇树。它盯着那些猫，毛都竖了起来。 它大声咆哮，但如果猫担心，它们就不会表现出来。 他们肯定是在瞄准大猩猩。 我们准备迎接13只飞猫和1只大猩猩的碰撞。 但它一直没有出现。

At the last possible moment the cats separated into two groups, flew past the gorilla, and soared up into the sky, where they re-formed into a menacing circle high above us. That's when the gorilla started to climb the tree. "There are no giant bananas up here!" shouted Terry. "We already told you that!" "I don't think it's after giant bananas anymore," I said. "I think it's getting into a better position to fight the cats."

在最后可能的时刻，猫分成两组，飞过大猩猩，飞向天空，在我们上方重新形成一个威胁的圆圈。 就在那时大猩猩开始爬树。 “这里没有大香蕉！”特里喊道。 “我们已经告诉过你了！”“我认为它不再追求大香蕉了，”我说。 “我认为它正处于一个更好的位置来对抗猫。”

No ba.na.nas. Ba.na.na. The gorilla climbed higher...

没有ba.na.nas。Ba.na.na。大猩猩爬得更高……

and higher...

和更高的……
