26 The Cry of Claudette

The Cry of Claudette Claudette woke up with a screech that roused the whole forest of Wintloria. There was still some part of her connected to the beast. "Morty, noooo!" she cried in her raspy voice. Then, in an even more terrified voice, she added, "The beast is coming back!" Her distress brought Agents Hughie, Louie, and Stewie to her tree—along with

克劳德特的叫声克劳德特一声尖叫惊醒了整个温特洛里亚森林。 她身上还有一些和野兽有关的部分。 “莫蒂，不行！”她用沙哑的声音叫道。 然后，她又用一种更加惊恐的声音说：“野兽回来了！”她的痛苦把休吉、路易和斯图伊特工带到了她的树上

every other purple-breasted parrot in the forest. Her wings were quivering, and her eyes were dilating from furious black to splendid purple. "It's eating something with a pulse. Its personality has been trapped in a cavern of its belly, but now it's all coming back… every diabolical dream, pernicious pondering, and mortifying memory… everything's swarming like a tornado into the beast's blobby head." She spoke with an intense urgency that frightened the other parrots. "Who fed the beast? I told you all not to let it eat! I told you not to let it escape!" "She's delirious again," said Agent Hughie. "Only explanation for it," said Agent Louie. "We should up her medicine and put her back to sleep," hissed Agent Stewie.

森林里所有其他紫胸鹦鹉。 她的翅膀在颤抖，她的眼睛从愤怒的黑色变成了灿烂的紫色。 “它是在吃有脉搏的东西。 它的个性一直被困在肚子里的洞穴里，但现在它又回来了……每一个恶魔的梦，有害的思考，耻辱的记忆……一切都像龙卷风一样涌进了这只野兽的圆脑袋里。” 她说话的急迫口吻吓坏了其他鹦鹉。 “谁喂的野兽？”我告诉过你们不要让它吃东西！我告诉过你不要让它跑掉！”“她又神志不清了，”休吉探员说。 “这是唯一的解释，”路易探员说。 “我们应该给她吃点药，让她再睡一觉，”斯蒂维探员嘶嘶地说。

The three of them made their way over to the D.o.R.R.i.S. beeping machine. Claudette yanked the wire out of her body and squawked at them. "Don't you see? The beast's whole life is flashing before its eyes, as if it's about to die… but really, it's being reborn. It's reliving the past few months of its life through three whole new eyes, and it doesn't like what it sees.… It can't believe that it's been tricked into being a do-gooder. It feels angry, humiliated, and… oh no, oh no, oh no… VENGEFUL!" "Let us all sing you a cheery song, what-what?" said Giulietta. "We'll find the right melody to make all your nightmares disappear."

他们三个去了d.r.r.i.s。 哔哔的机器。克劳德特把电线从身体里拽出来，对着他们尖叫。 “你还不明白吗？”这只野兽的一生在它眼前一闪而过，仿佛它即将死去……但实际上，它正在重生。 它正在通过三只全新的眼睛重温过去几个月的生活，它不喜欢它所看到的。它不相信自己被骗成了一个行善者。 它感到愤怒、羞辱，还有……哦不，哦不，哦不……想要报复！”“让我们大家给你唱首欢快的歌吧，什么？” “我们会找到合适的旋律让你的噩梦消失”

"This is no nightmare. This is happening right now—on the other side of the world. And I have to get there… I have to SAVE BETHANY! She's one of my best friends." "Absolutely not," said Agent Hughie. "You can't go chasing after fantasies," said Agent Louie. "And even if you could, the journey would kill you," hissed Agent Stewie. Claudette knew that she wouldn't be able to live with herself if she didn't help Bethany. She spotted the high-tech device that looked awfully like an umbrella, which Agent Stewie had used to puddle-portal her over to Wintloria in the first place. "Lie back down," said Giulietta. "You know you're too weak to fly."

“这不是噩梦。这正在世界的另一端发生。 我必须去那里，我必须去救宝芬妮！她是我最好的朋友之一。” “绝对不行，”休吉探员说。 “你不能去追逐幻想，”探员路易说。 “即使你能，这趟旅程也会害死你的，”探员斯蒂维嘶嘶地说。 克劳德特知道，如果她不帮助宝芬妮，她就无法活下去。 她发现了那个看起来非常像雨伞的高科技装置，这是斯蒂维特工最初用来把她传送到温特洛里亚的。 “躺回去，”朱利埃塔说。 “你知道你太虚弱了，飞不起来。”

The exertion was digging deep into Claudette's bones. But she readied her wings—knowing and praying that somewhere, deep down, there was the strength she needed. "Claudette?" began Agent Hughie. "What are you—?" With another screech, Claudette flapped her weak wings and grabbed the umbrella with her talons. She crashed several times on her way out of the tree, flapping away as quickly as she could. As she fiddled with the handle of the umbrella, she managed to open a puddle a few feet in front of her. Then she screwed her eyes shut and focused on where she wanted to arrive. "MUST… SAVE… BETHANY!" she cried, as she disappeared.

这种用力深深地扎进了克劳德特的骨头里。 但她准备好了翅膀——她知道并祈祷，在内心深处的某个地方，有她所需要的力量。 “克劳德特？”休吉探员开始问道。 “你在干什么——？”又是一声尖叫，克劳德特拍打着她脆弱的翅膀，用爪子抓住了伞。 她从树上下来的时候摔了好几跤，拼命地拍打着翅膀飞走了。 她拨弄伞柄的时候，在前方几英尺处弄出了一个水坑。 然后她闭上眼睛，把注意力集中在她想要到达的地方。 “必须……救救……伯大尼！”她一边哭一边消失了。
