Chapter 7

chapter seven Sorry about Carol almost leaving Quint behind. She's just a puppy, aren't you? My Carol?Whal all good. Drooler's just a kid too. I think Dirk cocks his head and glances at Drooler. "Actually, there's a lot about Drooler I don't know. A lot I'm still learning. But that's all part of—" Dirk is interrupted by a sudden commotion coming from the Wrangler. Dirk and Kimmy wheel around, just in time to see Galamelon poking at Quint's cane.

卡罗尔差点丢下昆特，我很抱歉。 她只是一只小狗，不是吗？ 我的卡罗尔?一切都好。Drooler也是个孩子。 我想德克抬起头，看了一眼流口水。 “事实上，关于Drooler我不知道的还有很多。 我还在学习很多东西。但这都是——”德克被牧马人队突然传来的骚动打断了。 德克和吉米转过身来，正好看到加隆在戳昆特的手杖。

"Galamelon, wait!" Quint suddenly cries. "Don't touch that lever or—" "HEY!" Dirk barks. "Watch where you're pointing that thing!" Galamelon frowns at Dirk, then returns his attention—and the conjurer's cane—to Quint. "Your staff isn't like any I've seen before," Galamelon says.

“Galamelon,等等!”昆特突然哭了起来。 “别碰那个杠杆，或者——”“嘿！”德克吠叫。 “注意你拿那玩意儿指着哪里！”加隆对德克皱了皱眉头，然后把他的注意力——以及魔术师的手杖——转向昆特。 “你们的员工和我以前见过的都不一样，”加隆说。

"Because it's not," Quint replies. "I built it using materials from this dimension. The mini-basketball gives it a magical nudge—but it's technology that allows me to wield it. Yursl taught me all I know about this stuff." "And I can tell you know a lot," Galamelon says. Quint shakes his head. "Not enough. The first time I used the cane—it went, well, poorly. I tried to destroy a monster using Kinetic Crescendo. But I only sliced it in half—" "Sliced it in half! That's fantastic, guy!" "Ehh, no. I also mistakenly teleported us." Galamelon nods wisely. "Yep, that'll happen. Incantations of destruction aren't easy. For master conjurers like me, they're a breeze. But tougher for a novice. Best left to the experts." "I need to be an expert," Quint says. "And that's why you got me!" Galamelon says, flashing a wide, crooked grin. "Now let's see what we're working with here..." Galamelon opens the book and begins flipping the pages. He shakes his head at conjuration after conjuration, until he finally says, "Bingo! This one! We'll start with something simple." Quint frowns at the otherworldly text. "But I can't read that."

“因为它不是，”昆特回答。 “我用这个维度的材料建造了它。 迷你篮球给了它一个神奇的推动——但它的技术允许我使用它。 我所知道的这一切都是你教我的。” “我可以告诉你，你知道很多，”加隆说。 昆特摇了摇头。“不够。 我第一次用拐杖的时候，效果很差。 我试图用动能渐强摧毁一个怪物。 可我只是把它切成了两半——”“切成了两半！太棒了，伙计！”“Ehh,不。 我还错误地传送了我们。” 加隆明智地点点头。“是的，会发生的。 毁灭咒语并不容易。 对于像我这样的魔法大师来说，他们是小菜一碟。 但对新手来说更难。最好留给专家们去解决。” “我需要成为一个专家，”昆特说。 “所以你才有了我！”加隆说，咧嘴一笑。 “现在让我们看看我们在做什么……” 加隆打开书，开始翻页。 他一个接一个地摇着头，直到最后说：“答对了！这一个!我们从简单的开始。” 昆特对这个超凡脱俗的文字皱眉。 “但我看不懂。”

Galamelon waves a hand dismissively. "Pssht. It's a ton of words anyway—no need to bother with them. All you really need is the name of the conjuration:.... NAZZCEUL Which, in your language, translates to 'Orb of Protection.' Just do the movements in the little doodle, there, and then say those three words. You were born to conjure this conjuration, guy!" Quint stares at the page. Maybe he can ignore the words. Maybe it's like ordering from the menu at Denny's, the ones with all the pictures. And when you can't decide between the Triple-Chocolate Super Slam or the Lean Lumberjack Trio, the pictures always steer you in the right direction. "OK," Quint says. "If you say so..." He begins swinging the cane in a wave pattern, and as it begins to hum, he shouts, "Orb of Protection!" and pulls the trigger-switch. Something like Day-Glo silly string explodes from the tip of the cane, and... SCHLA-BOOM!

加隆轻蔑地挥了挥手。 “Pssht。不管怎么说，这都是一大堆单词——不需要为它们而烦恼。 你真正需要的是咒语的名字：.... 在你们的语言中，翻译成“保护之球”。只要做小涂鸦上的动作，在那里，然后说这三个词。 你天生就是会这个咒语的，伙计！”昆特盯着那页纸。 也许他可以忽略这些话。 也许这就像在丹尼餐厅点菜单一样，上面有很多图片。 当你无法决定是三巧克力超级大满贯还是精益伐木工三人组时，图片总是引导你正确的方向。 “好吧，”昆特说。“既然你这么说……” 他开始挥动手杖，当它开始嗡嗡作响时，他喊道：“保护之球！”并拉开了扳机开关。 像Day-Glo（荧光粉）之类的东西会从手杖的尖端爆炸，然后…… SCHLA-BOOM !

hey, you got magic all over me. That's it. From now on. All conjuring is to be done in the back seat while facing backward, away from Drooler Amy. Unless you're conjure in kittens, kittens, you can conjure wherever. Whenever Galamelon rolls his eyes—but Dirk's hard glare catches him, and he grudgingly clambers into the back of the Wrangler. "Don't pay any attention to those two," Galamelon says, as Quint follows him. "What matters is that ya did it!" "Did I, though? What I conjured didn't look like this," Quint says, tapping the page. "The image depicts something more akin to a protective bubble..." "Protective bubble, oodles of noodles, same difference," Galamelon says. "Now, c'mon—we're off to a grand start. Let's keep it going, guy!" And thus begins...

你在我身上施了魔法。 就是这样。从现在开始。所有的魔术都是在后座上完成的，面朝后，远离流口水的艾米。 除非你在召唤小猫，小猫，你可以召唤任何地方。 每当加隆翻白眼的时候——但德克严厉的目光抓住了他，他不情愿地爬进了牧马人的后座。 “别理那两个人，”加隆说，昆特跟着他。 “重要的是你做到了！”“是吗？” 我想象出来的东西不是这样的，”昆特轻敲着书页说。 “这张照片描绘的更像是一个保护性的气泡……” “保护泡沫和面条，同样的区别，”加隆说。 “现在，来吧——我们有一个盛大的开始。 让我们继续吧，伙计！”于是开始……
