Chapter 8

CHAPTER 8 'Come on ye 'orrible lot, get those supplies on board, The Flyin' Fish sets sail at midnight -quit yer yabberin' and get a move on!' That was the cry from the quartermaster, an old Siberian cat in a tatty white sailor's jumper and a captain's cap. He was busy checking all the supplies at the end of the quay with a clipboard. Approaching from the shadows, Toto

第八章来吧，你们这些可恶的家伙，把这些给养搬上船去，飞鱼号午夜就要启航了——别废话了，赶快走吧！这是军需官的叫声，他是一只老西伯利亚猫，穿着一件破旧的白色水手套头衫，戴着一顶船长帽。 他正忙着用剪贴板检查码头尽头的所有物资。 从阴影中走来，托托

and the gang saw the ship for the first time. It was an enormous grey cargo ship, with twinkling lights showing through the portholes. Behind it lay the fast-flowing river where the tide was starting to take hold. Further out, it looked like the water was flowing around several small dark islands. Several rough-looking cats were picking up boxes of supplies and carrying them up the gangway onto the ship. There was so much going on and so many animals coming and going that, with their disguises, they were able to get into line unnoticed and pick up three boxes full of canned tuna. "old it you lot, I 'aven't seen ye before, what 'ave ye got there?' the quartermaster

这群人第一次看到了那艘船。 那是一艘巨大的灰色货船，透过舷窗可以看到闪烁的灯光。 在它的后面是湍急的河流，潮水开始涌上水面。 再往远处看，水似乎在几个黑色的小岛周围流动。 几只长相粗鲁的猫正在捡起一箱箱的补给品，把它们从舷梯抬到船上。 有这么多的事情发生，这么多的动物进进出出，由于他们的伪装，他们能够不被注意地进入队伍，拿起三箱罐装金枪鱼。 “你们这些家伙真老，我以前没见过你们，你们那儿有什么？”军需官说

piped up in his impressively sea-faring voice as the trio turned to walk towards the ship. 'ARRRGH... we been reassigned from rooftop security, and we be carryin' tuna bound for that there ship. We be needin' to know where to be puttin' it sir, answered Catface in the worst pirate's accent the cats had ever heard- or so they thought! 'ARRRGH….. one of me own, replied the quartermaster. 'It's good to be servin' with an old ship's cat such as yerself. Tell me, where did ye serve in the olden days?' 'Oh, no, we're for it now, whispered Toto to Silver. 'Ah, well I started life as ship's cat on the HMS... err, Sea Bass, and then served

当三人转身向船走去时，他用令人印象深刻的航海声音大声说道。 “ARRRGH…我们从屋顶保安调来的，我们要带着金枪鱼去那艘船。 “我们需要知道把它放在哪里，先生，”猫脸用猫们从未听过的最糟糕的海盗口音回答——至少它们是这么想的！“ARRRGH… “我自己的人，”军需官回答。 “给像你这样一个老船上的人当佣人真是太好了。 告诉我，古时你们在哪里服事。“啊，不，我们现在要去了，”托托低声对西尔弗说。 “啊，我一开始是在英国皇家海军上当船上的猫…… 嗯，是鲈鱼，然后上桌

me time on the Platypus, before being shipwrecked in Tahiti. I been sailin' with the Archduke for a couple of months now, and can't wait to get me bounty in cheese! ARRRGH...' he added for good measure. The quartermaster eyed the trio for what seemed like an eternity. Both Toto and Silver had started to think the game was up when he replied with a yell, 'ARRRGH, that's me kind of sailor, on ye go boys. Take that tuna down to the hold and good luck to ye.' Counting their blessings, they scurried towards the ship. 'Catface, how in the world did you know all of those ships? And how did he fall for that awful accent?' asked Toto.

我在鸭嘴兽号上度过了一段时间，之后在塔希提岛遭遇海难。 我和大公一起出海已经有几个月了，等不及要给我一份奶酪赏金了！ARRRGH……他又补充了一句。 军需官盯着这三个人看了似乎很久。 托托和西尔弗都开始认为游戏完蛋了，这时他大叫着回答说：“啊，这就是我的水手，伙计们，加油！” 把那条金枪鱼拿到货舱里去，祝你好运。”他们暗自庆幸，急忙向船奔去。 “猫脸，你到底是怎么知道那些船的？” 他是怎么被那可怕的口音迷住的？托托问。

'What do you mean, AWFUL? That's what all the old pirates sound like in the Sour Saucer. As for the ships- I told you I used be down here all the time with my dad. I loved watching the ships come in when—' 'Guys, we've got a whole new problem,' Silver interrupted, pointing to the ship with a shaky paw. Sure enough, guarding the gangway were two enormous Rottweilers. 'How in the world is Sheila going to deal with them?' Just then, Shelia emerged from behind a big wooden container and appeared to be having a cheerful chat with them. It looked like she was asking the two bigger dogs to follow her. Miraculously they did, leaving

“你什么意思，可怕？”这就是《酸碟》里老海盗的声音。 至于船，我告诉过你，我以前经常和我爸爸在这里。 “伙计们，我们遇到了一个全新的问题。”西尔弗打断他的话，用颤抖的爪子指着那艘船。 果然，看守舷梯的是两只巨大的罗威纳犬。 “希拉到底要怎么对付他们？”就在这时，希拉从一个大木箱后面走了出来，似乎在和他们愉快地聊天。 看起来她是在叫那两条大狗跟着她。 他们奇迹般地离开了
