Chapter 3

chapter three "RIFTERS!" Skaelka shouted again. "EVERYBODY! WEAPONS UP! WE GOT RIFTERS!" "Rifters?" I cried out. "I never heard of any Rifters!" "Quint!" Jack yelled, shaking our buddy by the shoulders. "What's a Rifter? Tell me about Rifters!" "I don't know, Jack!" Quint said. "I don't know all the things!" "Hey, monster pals!" Dirk barked, as an Ogre stomped past. "We need information here!" Just then, our flying friend Fern swooped past. She quickly gave us the scoop—

第三章“撕裂者！”斯卡卡又喊了一声。 “大家!武器!我们有裂谷！”“裂缝?”我喊道。 “我从来没听说过裂谷战士！”“五胞胎!”杰克喊道，摇了摇我们朋友的肩膀。 “裂谷战士是什么？”给我讲讲裂谷战士吧！”“我不知道，杰克！”五度音说。 “我不知道所有的事情！”“嘿，怪物朋友们！”当一个食人魔大步走过时，德克叫道。 “我们这里需要信息！”就在这时，我们会飞的朋友弗恩飞过。 她很快把独家新闻告诉了我们

JUNKERS CLUNKERS, BANDITS, RUSTLERS. "Ohh, like pirates?" Jack said. "I love pirates!" Suddenly, a crooked metal arrow came screaming through the air! I tackled Jack an instant before the arrow hit him. "Never mind. Hate pirates," Jack grumbled as— WHOOSH!

老爷车，强盗，小偷。 “哦，像海盗一样？”杰克说。 “我爱海盗！”突然，一支弯曲的金属箭从空中呼啸而过！在箭击中杰克之前，我抓住了他。 “没关系。讨厌海盗，”杰克嘟囔着——呼！

A creature zoomed past us. Three more arrows hit the ground in its wake. I watched an Ogre stomp past—and saw the Rifter riding it. He was hurriedly jamming more arrows into a rusty, paint-splattered crossbow. "I don't think these Rifters care about us," I said. "They're hyper-focused on that neon- colored creature." The creature was zooming around like a pinball! It made an impossibly sharp turn, causing the pursuing Ogre to slip, and the Rifter atop him cried out as— EJECTED!

一个生物从我们身边呼啸而过。 紧接着又有三支箭落在地上。 我看见一个食人魔踏着脚走过，还看见裂谷人骑在上面。 他急忙把更多的箭塞进一把锈迹斑斑的十字弓里。 “我不认为这些裂谷人关心我们，”我说。 “他们高度专注于那个霓虹色的生物。” 那个生物像个弹球一样飞来飞去！它做了一个不可思议的急转弯，导致追赶的食人魔滑倒，他身上的撕裂者喊道：“被驱逐！”

It was pure chaos. And suddenly—I was at the absolute center of that pure chaos. Because the blur creature was zipping toward me. We were eye-to-eye. And in a moment we were going to be head-to-head— by which I mean, his head was going to be crashing into my head at many miles an hour. "Whoa, whoa, whoa!" I cried out, jumping back, then staggering, falling, and finally landing in an abandoned DoomKart.

这是纯粹的混乱。突然间，我就置身于那纯粹混乱的绝对中心。 因为那个模糊的生物正朝我冲过来。 我们是对视的。再过一会儿，我们就要正面交锋了——我的意思是，他的头会以每小时好几英里的速度撞到我的头。 “哇，哇，哇！”我大叫着，跳了回去，踉跄着，摔倒了，最后落在一辆废弃的DoomKart上。

"June, look out!" I heard Jack call, and I wanted to shout back something like, Yeah, no kidding! but I could hardly even breathe. Right before impact, the blur-creature leapt, springing up and over me. I felt my hair rustle just as— WHOOSH! Whoa

“琼，小心！”我听到杰克在叫我，我想回喊一句，是的，不是开玩笑吧！但我几乎无法呼吸。 就在撞击之前，那个模糊的生物跳了起来，从我身上跳了起来。 我感到我的头发沙沙作响，就在这时——呼！哇

Next there was a flash of steel—it was a rusty chain, being swung by a Rifter. They were trying to lasso the creature. "I'm okay, guys!" I called out, but then— CHONK! The DoomKart jerked forward. My eyes shot down and I saw that the Rifter's chain had hooked on to the cart. "Just kidding! Not okay!" I shouted. "NOT OKAY AT—" YANK! The chain jerked the DoomKart and we SMASHED into an Ogre's tree-trunk-like leg. It was the biggest Ogre: an enormous, awful thing. And in its saddle was the biggest Rifter. "Uh... hi," I said. The Ogre's enormous hand came down. I curled up in the DoomKart seat, making myself small, and lifted the shield over my head.

接着是一道钢铁的闪光——那是一条生锈的铁链，正被一个裂谷兵荡着。 他们试图用套索套住那只动物。 “我没事，伙计们！”我喊了一声，但是——咔！末日卡丁车猛地向前冲去。 我的眼睛猛地往下一看，发现裂谷者的铁链已经钩在了马车上。 “开玩笑的!不是好吧!”我叫道。 “不好——”猛拉！铁链猛拉着末日卡丁车，我们撞到了一个食人魔树干般的腿上。 它是最大的食人魔：一个巨大、可怕的东西。 骑在马鞍上的是最大的裂谷战士。 “嗯…嗨，”我说。食人魔的大手垂了下来。 我蜷缩在末日赛车的座位上，让自己变小，把盾牌举过头顶。
