Chapter 7

CHAPTER 7 Toto had to think fast. 'We've got one thing going for us: ADF and his baddies think I'm dead, so no one will be looking for me or expecting me. Plus, maybe Socks got back in time to raise the alarm to Silver and Catface. Our only chance of stopping this is by preventing Jonny from getting on the main stage. Without him the video will have no impact, as no one will be watching. But

第七章托托必须迅速思考。 “我们有一件事要做：ADF和他的同伙认为我死了，所以没有人会找我或等我。” 另外，也许索克斯回来的及时给小银和猫脸拉响了警报。 我们阻止这一切的唯一机会就是阻止乔尼登上主舞台。 没有他，视频就没有影响，因为没人会看。 但

how on earth will we get close to him?' 'There are little brooks and streams all over the site that these security guards won't know about. THIS IS MY FARM, I've lived here all my life, so I know it like the back of my paw. One stream leads right under the main stage! 'That's great, but I can't swim,' said Toto mournfully. 'No worries! YOU CAN RIDE ON MY BACK. And if we have to go underwater, you can use this to breathe.' Lutra produced a small reed that was almost like a straw. The thought of being back in the water was a pretty scary one, but Toto nodded her head. 'OK. When we get there, hopefully Catface and Silver will already be at the side

我们到底要怎么接近他？“这里到处都是小溪和小溪，这些保安不会知道的。” 这是我的农场，我在这里住了一辈子，所以我对它了如指掌。 一条小溪就在主舞台下面！“太好了，但是我不会游泳，”托托悲哀地说。 “不用担心!你可以骑在我背上。 如果我们要去水下，你可以用这个来呼吸。”卢特拉拿出一根几乎像稻草的小芦苇。 回到水里的想法是相当可怕的，但是托托点了点头。 ‘好吧。当我们到达那里时，希望猫脸和小银已经在旁边了

of the stage. We'll need all the help we can get. Also, I need to get a message to Larry- if we fail, then he'll need to move fast.' 'I think I can help there too. We should get going, you ready?' the otter asked. 'Well, I'm still pretty chilly, I'm about to get soaked again, I have no idea if we'll be able to stop the DEADLIEST NINJA OF ALL TIME in his quest for world domination, and I'm supposed to be on my holidays... but yes, I'm ready!' Lutra gave Toto a friendly smile. 'From what Catface has told me about you, you are the BRAVEST, MOST TALENTED AND COURAGEOUS CAT he's ever met. And if he thinks highly of you, so do I. You can do this, Toto, and I'll help you all the way.

舞台上的。我们需要所有能得到的帮助。 还有，我得给拉里捎个信——如果我们失败了，他就得赶紧行动。“我想我也能帮上忙。” 我们该走了，准备好了吗？水獭问。 “嗯，我还是很冷，我又要被淋湿了，我不知道我们能否阻止有史以来最致命的忍者统治世界的企图，而且我应该去度假了…… 但是，是的，我准备好了！”路特拉对托托友好地笑了笑。 “从猫脸告诉我的关于你的事来看，你是他所见过的最勇敢、最有才华、最勇敢的猫。 如果他对你评价很高，我也一样。 你能做到的，托托，我会一直帮你的。

Now, climb on board. She crouched down and Toto clambered on to her back. 'Take a deep breath,' Lutra yelled over the roar of the water as they reached the opening of the otter's holt. Toto gulped and the otter PLUNGED them both into the icy water. This was a far different experience to the

现在，爬上船。她蹲下来，托托爬到她的背上。 “深呼吸，”当他们走到水獭窝的洞口时，卢特拉在水声中喊道。 托托咽了一口气，水獭把他们俩都扔进冰冷的水里。 这是一个完全不同的经历

last swim Toto had had to endure. Yes, it was cold, and breathing through the reed felt very strange, but she felt safe and secure riding on Lutra's back. The otter's speed and power in the water was something to behold. Her powerful hind legs kicked EFFORTLESSLY through the current, and her tail swished with purpose and power.

托托最后一次游泳是要忍受的。 是的，天气很冷，通过芦苇呼吸感觉很奇怪，但她觉得骑在路特拉的背上很安全。 水獭在水中的速度和力量值得一看。 她有力的后腿毫不费力地在水流中蹬着，她的尾巴带着目的和力量嗖嗖作响。

After what seemed like an age, the otter surfaced by a bend in the river. 'This is the border of the main festival site. We'll have to take it carefully from here to make sure we're not spotted!' Toto could sense THE SMELLS AND THE SOUNDS OF THE FESTIVAL, and in the distance the Holt Stage stood out against the sky like a temple. The crowd were beginning to congregate to see their idol Jonny strut his stuff. 'First things first: you said you needed to get a message to Larry. I think I have JUST THE BIRD FOR THE MISSION.' Lutra let out a kind of bark, which sounded almost like a bird's chirp. An enormous bird swooped gracefully

似乎过了一段时间，水獭在河的一个拐弯处浮出水面。 “这是主要节日场地的边界。 从这里开始，我们必须小心翼翼地拿着它，以免被人发现！”托托可以感觉到节日的气味和声音，在远处，霍尔特舞台像一座寺庙一样矗立在天空中。 人群开始聚集起来看他们的偶像乔尼大摇大摆地表演。 “重要的事情先说：你说你要给拉里捎个信。 我想我找到了完成任务的那只鸟。”卢特拉发出一种吠叫，听起来几乎像鸟叫。 一只巨大的鸟优雅地俯冲下来
