Chapter 10

CHAPTER 10 'There's nowhere for him to run to,' shouted Silver. The thunder storm was raging around the cats as they ran towards the stern of the boat in pursuit of the Archduke. 'Don't underestimate him; this guy is one of the greatest ninjas ever, Toto yelled back. 'Then what chance do we have? You've only just graduated and I... well, I'm not even a ninja!' 'We've got to do something. If he gets

第十章“他无处可逃，”西尔弗喊道。 当猫们跑向船尾追赶大公时，周围的暴风雨正在肆虐。 “不要低估他；“这家伙是有史以来最伟大的忍者之一。”托托喊道。 “那么我们还有什么机会呢？” 你才刚刚毕业，而我…… 好吧，我根本不是忍者！“我们得做点什么。” 如果他得到

away then he'll just come back with another evil plan.' Although Toto relied on her brother for his sight, with the lightning illuminating the sky, she could just about make out the shapes of the seemingly endless line of barges being towed behind the ship. Beyond, the coastline was disappearing fast. 'Where is he?' said Toto. Silver trained his eyes against the rain and whooped, 'he's trying to get to the end of the line of barges- I can see his black cape flapping in the wind!' Toto acted on pure INSTINCT. Effortlessly, she jumped over the rails onto the first barge, then began sprinting over the mounds of cheese after the Archduke.

然后他就会带着另一个邪恶的计划回来。”虽然托托依靠她哥哥的视力，但在闪电照亮天空的情况下，她只能勉强辨认出船后面拖着的似乎无穷无尽的驳船的形状。 远处，海岸线正在迅速消失。 “他在哪儿？”托托说。西尔弗睁大眼睛迎着雨，大声叫道：“他想爬到驳船的尽头去——我能看见他的黑斗篷在风中飘动！”托托纯粹凭本能行事。 她毫不费力地跳过栏杆，上了第一艘驳船，然后开始在奶酪堆上追赶大公。

'Show off,' Silver smiled to himself, and took off in a not-so-high-speed chase after the ninjas. Unfortunately, his first leap landed him straight into a barge full of gooey ricotta.

“炫耀一下。”西尔弗对自己笑了笑，然后开始追赶那些忍者。 不幸的是，他的第一次跳跃让他直接掉进了一艘装满粘稠乳清干酪的驳船里。

'Oh blast, it'll take me ages to get out here... but it is rather TASTY...' said Silver as he began to eat himself free. The barges were being tossed about by the waves so violently that Toto and the

“哦，该死，我要花很长时间才能出来…… 但是味道很好……西尔弗一边说，一边开始狼吞虎咽。 驳船被海浪猛烈地颠簸着，托托和小船

Archduke were struggling the stay upright. But Toto was smaller and more agile, and she was gaining on the master ninja. 'Give up, she cried. 'We've captured all your gang, and there's nowhere left to run to- it's hopeless. 'Quite the contrary, my little teacher's pet, I merely have to get rid of you, and the advantage swings in my favour once again, MMMEEEO0OWWWHAHAHA!' That laugh is so annoying, Toto thought to herself, as she stepped up her pursuit.

大公们挣扎着保持直立。 但托托个子更小，也更敏捷，她正在接近这位忍者大师。 “放弃吧，”她喊道。“我们已经抓住了你们一伙人，没有地方可逃了——没有希望了。 “恰恰相反，我老师的小宝贝，我只要摆脱你，优势就会再次对我有利，嗯……哇……哇……哈哈！”这笑声真令人讨厌，托托想，当她加紧追赶的时候。

By now they had reached the second- to-last barge (full to the brim of bouncy mozzarella). The older cat turned and drew his sword. As he did so, the ship slowly began to turn back to shore. 'Catface, you've done it!' Toto whispered gleefully. His success filled her with more confidence for the fight ahead. The cats began to circle each other, as the rain and wind swirled about them. 'It's a pity, my little ninja, that you are so obedient to your master Larry. You would have been a very useful ally in my quest to create a world where cats reign supreme. 'No, replied Toto, 'Silver and I like the world as it is. The humans aren't perfect, (and I believe it's a scientific fact that they

这时，他们已经到了倒数第二艘驳船上（船上装满了有弹性的马苏里拉奶酪）。 老猫转过身，拔出剑来。 就在他这样做的时候，船开始慢慢地转向岸边。 “猫脸，你成功了！”托托高兴地低声说。 他的成功使她对今后的战斗更有信心。 风和雨在猫周围打转，猫们开始互相绕着圈。 “真可惜，我的小忍者，你对你的主人拉里太听话了。 在我创造一个猫称霸的世界的过程中，你会是一个非常有用的盟友。 “不，”托托回答，“西尔弗和我喜欢这个世界。 人类并不完美（我相信这是一个科学事实）
