Chapter 14

chapter fourteen Movement jostles me awake. The first thing I notice: the sound of the strayfurs and Debra-Bulb is gone. Whew. The second thing I notice... The ground is moving? Or we're moving? Something is moving. I glance out the window, and— GUYS WAKE UP. WE'RE MOVING, But my friends are already very awake. In the back seat, Quint and Globlet are playing something like checkers—using glowing fingers as pieces. "What the—? What's happening?" I ask.

第十四章运动把我挤醒。 我注意到的第一件事是：流浪狗和黛布拉-鲍尔的声音消失了。 唷。我注意到的第二件事…… 地面在动？还是我们要搬家？ 有东西在动。我瞥了一眼窗外，然后——伙计们，醒醒。 我们在搬家，但我的朋友们已经醒了。 在后座上，昆特和Globlet正在玩一种类似跳棋的东西——用发光的手指作为棋子。 “-什么?发生了什么?”我问。

"You parked on top of a clumberthod," Globlet says, like I should have known that. She kicks back, leaning against a pile of overflowing bags. It would seem Quint accumulated A LOT of souvenirs while I was snoozing. "Yay for happy accidents, right?" Quint says, right before he slams a finger down onto the board. "And for another happy victory." Globlet smacks the board. "I am losing VERY SORELY RIGHT NOW!" "Uh, guys?" I start, trying to dial them back in. "How is this a happy accident?" "Well," Quint says, "the clumberthod got us right past Debra-Bulb's roadblock." "Oh. That is good," I say. My wake-up panic is starting to settle down. "How long have we been on top of this guy?" Globlet grins. "Long enough for us to learn a ton about you. You talk in your sleep. Lots of stuff about Pop-Tarts, cheat codes, and June—" "OK!" I exclaim. "Why didn't you wake me up?" Quint shrugs. "You seemed comfy."

“你把车停在灌木丛上了，”Globlet说，好像我早该知道似的。 她向后踢了踢，靠在一堆堆满东西的袋子上。 似乎昆特在我打盹的时候积累了很多纪念品。 “高兴的意外，对吧？”昆特说，就在他把一根手指重重地放在黑板上之前。 “为了又一次快乐的胜利。” 地球球打在黑板上。“我现在输得很惨！”“呃,伙计们?”我开始试着把他们拉回来。 “这怎么会是一个快乐的意外呢？”“嗯，”昆特说，“这种方法让我们直接越过了黛布拉-鲍尔设置的路障。” “哦。“太好了，”我说。 我醒来时的恐慌开始平息了。 “我们在这家伙头上多久了？”Globlet笑容。 “足够让我们了解你的很多情况。 你说梦话。很多关于馅饼、作弊码和六月——”“好的！”我惊叫。 “你为什么不叫醒我？”五胞胎耸了耸肩。 “你看起来很舒服。”

Something in the distance gets Globlet's attention, and she suddenly hops to her feet. "We're nearing the crossing," she says, crawling into the passenger seat. "A river we'll need to pass to reach the Hidden City. The clumberthod won't take us much farther." In the distance, I see a shadowy canyon. I have zero idea how I'm supposed to drive our taxi down—and off —this massive, loping monster. But Globlet simply tosses a bag of candy out the window, and Seabiscuit follows, leaping to the ground below.

远处有什么东西引起了Globlet的注意，她突然跳了起来。 “我们快到十字路口了，”她一边说，一边爬进副驾驶座位。 “我们要经过这条河才能到达隐秘之城。 这条路走不远了。” 在远处，我看到一个阴暗的峡谷。 我完全不知道我该如何开着我们的出租车从这个巨大的、奔跑着的怪物身上开下来。 但是Globlet只是把一袋糖果扔出窗外，seab饼干也跟着往下跳。

"Good-bye, new pal!" Globlet calls to the clumberthod. "I hope we'll keep in touch! I'll write! But you have to write first!" As soon as the giant creature is out of earshot, Globlet spins around— Don't EVER tell ANYONE we did that. Riding a cumber thought is literally the most illegal thing you can do in this dimension. Also, I took his wallet. Goblet.

“再见，新朋友！”Globlet调用丛集方法。 “我希望我们能保持联系！”我要写!但你得先写！”只要这个巨大的生物离开了听不见的地方，Globlet就会旋转——永远不要告诉任何人我们这样做了。 在这个维度上，骑着数字思想是你能做的最非法的事情。 我还拿了他的钱包。杯状。
