Chapter 5

Chapter FIVE As soon as the bell rang for the end of the day, Nova and I ran out of school to find both Mum and Dad waiting for us in the playground, which was unusual. They both looked worried. 'I'm afraid we haven't found Pluto yet...' began Mum. We know where he is!' I cried,

下课铃一响，我和诺瓦就跑出了学校，发现爸爸妈妈都在操场上等我们，这是很不寻常的。 他们俩看上去都很担心。“恐怕我们还没有找到冥王星……妈妈说。 我们知道他在哪儿！”我哭了,

interrupting. 'He's in the forest!' 'The forest?' said Mum. 'Well then, we must go there right now! We'll drop by the house and pack some things on the way!' 'Pack some things?' asked Dad as he hurried us all into the car. Why?' 'We might need camping gear,' said

打断一下。“他在森林里！”“森林？”妈妈说。 “好吧，那我们现在就得去！”我们顺路去他家收拾点东西！“打包东西？”爸爸一边催促我们上车，一边问。 为什么?“我们可能需要露营装备，”他说

Mum. 'We don't know how long we'll be in the forest for, do we? It might take a while to find Pluto and it will get dark early. I'll pack the tent just in case.' 'The tent?!' said Dad, horrified. 'But we can just drive back home to bed. It's not THAT far to the forest. You know I hate camping!' 'Well this is an emergency and I think we should pack the tent,' said Mum. An hour later we arrived at the edge of the forest. Mum parked the car in a layby. 'Everyone must wear a rucksack!' she said, opening the boot and handing them

妈妈。“我们不知道要在森林里待多久，是不是？” 找到冥王星可能需要一段时间，而且天黑得早。 我去收拾帐篷以防万一。“帐篷？”爸爸惊恐地说。 “但我们可以开车回家睡觉。 离森林不远。 你知道我讨厌露营！“嗯，这是紧急情况，我想我们应该收拾好帐篷，”妈妈说。 一小时后，我们到达了森林的边缘。 妈妈把车停在路边。 “每个人都必须背帆布背包！”她说着打开行李箱，递给他们

out. 'There's a survival kit inside each one and a whistle in case you get lost. There are snacks in there too!' We all walked towards an opening in the trees. The path looked thin and winding. 'It's quite dark in there, remarked Mum, peering in. 'Good!' said Dad who was wearing

出去了。“每个箱子里都有一个救生包，还有一个哨子，以防你迷路。 里面还有零食！”我们都朝树林里的一个开口走去。 这条小路看起来又细又曲折。 “里面挺黑的，”妈妈说着，朝里面瞥了一眼。 “好!穿着……的爸爸说

his daytime sunglasses. 'I like the gloom! Better for my sensitive vampire eyes. Nova and I held hands as we stepped onto the path. 'It's an awfully big forest, said Nova in a small voice. I squeezed her hand. 'We'll find Pluto!' I said. 'We have to!' We started to search, walking in and out of the trees and looking in every nook, cranny and bush that we could find but there was no sign of a little moon kitten anywhere. 'I can't remember if I've looked here

他白天的太阳镜。“我喜欢阴暗！”对我敏感的吸血鬼眼睛更好。 诺瓦和我手拉手走上小路。 “这森林太大了，”诺瓦低声说。 我紧紧握住她的手。“我们会找到冥王星的！”我说。 “我们必须这么做！”我们开始寻找，在树林里进进出出，找遍了我们能找到的每一个角落、缝隙和灌木丛，但到处都没有一只月亮小猫的迹象。 “我不记得我有没有在这儿看过

yet or not,' said Dad peering into a hollow log. 'Everything looks the same. There are so many trees!' 'We're never going to find Pluto!' wailed Nova. 'Do you think he might have gone home already?' I asked. 'No,' said Nova. 'He wouldn't know the way.' 'We mustn't give up!' said Mum. By now the sky was beginning to darken and Nova was lighting the way with her glowing skin. 'I don't think we've been down this path yet,' said Mum, pointing to a winding route that led through some brambles. She

爸爸盯着一根中空的圆木说。 “一切看起来都一样。 有这么多的树！“我们永远也找不到冥王星！”诺娃哭着说。 “你认为他可能已经回家了吗？”我问。 “不，”诺瓦说。“他不认识路。“我们不能放弃！”妈妈说。 这时天空开始变暗，诺娃用她发光的皮肤照亮了道路。 “我想我们还没有走过这条路。”妈妈指着一条蜿蜒曲折、穿过荆棘的小路说。 她
