11 A Bunny with a Plan

Chapter Eleven A Bunny with a Plan Abigail raced back through the woods and found the clearing where the bunny and Elias were working. The death bunny had chopped down dozens of branches, kicking and biting them off trees. Elias, for his part, was in the zone. Using vines from the forest, he'd tied the branches together. To Abigail, it still looked like a big pile of sticks that might be good for a campfire, but not much else. Elias was crouched down, working furiously. "Um, Elias?" said Abigail. She stood over him. "Please tell me you have good news." "Almost finished," he said without looking up. "Because Doug has brainwashed Finn and Vale, and Foggy just shot off into the sky. So I really want some good news."

第十一章有计划的兔子阿比盖尔跑回树林，找到了兔子和以利亚正在工作的空地。 死亡兔子砍倒了几十根树枝，又踢又咬。 就伊莱亚斯而言，他很兴奋。 他用森林里的藤蔓把树枝绑在一起。 对阿比盖尔来说，它看起来仍然是一大堆树枝，也许可以用来生火，但除此之外就没有什么了。 伊莱亚斯蹲下来，拼命干活。 “嗯，伊莱亚斯？”阿比盖尔问。 她站在他身旁。“请告诉我你有好消息。” “快完成了。”他头也不抬地说。 “因为道格已经给芬恩和维尔洗脑了，而福吉刚刚被炸飞了。 所以我真的想要一些好消息。”

"I told you they'd been Doug'd," said the bunny, landing next to Abigail. He held two branches in his paws. "Doug did the same thing to a lot of my family. He convinced them they wanted to live somewhere else with a beach. We need to leave. Now!" "How come you weren't brainwashed?" Abigail asked. The bunny tapped his head. "Nothing gets in here!" he said. Abigail could believe that. "Okay, finished!" shouted Elias. "Bunny! You grab that stick there and walk away from me." The bunny picked up a branch and pulled. The entire pile unfolded into what looked like a long, thin net. Elias looked at Abigail and smiled. "It's a rope ladder!" he said. "See, the branches are what you grab on to, and the vines are the rope. It should be long enough to get us down to the ship. These branches are all from live trees, so they should be wet enough to not burn. AND—"

“我告诉过你他们被道格杀了。”小兔说，落在阿比盖尔旁边。 他用爪子夹着两根树枝。 “道格对我家里的很多人都做过同样的事情。 他说服了他们，让他们想住在有海滩的地方。 我们得走了。现在!”“你怎么没被洗脑？”阿比盖尔问道。 兔子轻敲他的头。 “什么也进不来！”他说。 阿比盖尔会相信的。 “好了，完成了！” “兔子!你拿着那根棍子，离我远点。” 小兔子拿起一根树枝拉了起来。 这一大堆东西展开成一张又长又细的网。 伊莱亚斯看着阿比盖尔，笑了。 “这是绳梯！”他说。 “看，树枝是你抓住的东西，藤蔓是绳子。 应该有足够的时间把我们送到船上。 这些树枝都来自活的树，所以它们应该足够湿润，不会燃烧。 和- - - - - -”

Elias picked up a handful of leaves. "I've also rubbed the oils from these leaves into the branches, to make them extra fireproof." Elias beamed. He held up one of the vines to show Abigail how he'd tied off little looped knots. They looked like the bunny ears you make when you tie your shoes. Abigail wasn't sure what to say. "What are those for?" She pointed at one of the knots.

伊莱亚斯拿起一把树叶。 “我还把这些叶子上的油擦到树枝上，使它们更加防火。” 伊莱亚斯传送。他举起一根藤蔓，给阿比盖尔看他是怎么打结的。 它们看起来就像你系鞋带时做的兔耳朵。 阿比盖尔不知道该说什么。 “那是干什么用的？”她指着其中一个结。

"So glad you asked!" said Elias. "They're super cool." Elias picked up a handful of small twigs. "Anytime you see a crack or hole in the rock wall, you can slip one of these twigs through the hoops and pin the vines to the wall. It will help keep the ladder in place as you climb down." "Me?" asked Abigail. "As I climb down?" "No, not you specifically," said Elias. "I just mean 'you' like you or me or the bunny. One of us, any of us." Abigail looked at him like he was crazy. "You want us to climb into a lava pit?" asked Abigail. "You're missing the point," said Elias. "The hoops are the best part. They're so we don't fall off the ladder." Even as he was saying it, Elias had begun to realize the problem with his plan. No one would actually want to climb down a ladder into the molten center of an exploding planet. "Forget it," said Elias. "We're doomed." He sat down on a log, and the bunny sat next to him.

“很高兴你问了！”以利亚说。 “它们超级酷。”伊莱亚斯拿起一把小树枝。 “任何时候你看到岩壁上的裂缝或洞，你都可以从这些小树枝中滑出一根，把藤蔓钉在墙上。 它可以帮助你在爬下来的时候保持梯子的位置。” “我？”阿比盖尔问。“当我爬下来的时候？”“不，不是指你，”以利亚说。 “我的意思是‘你’，就像你、我或兔子一样。 我们中的一个，我们中的任何一个。”阿比盖尔看着他，好像他疯了一样。 “你想让我们爬进熔岩坑？”阿比盖尔问。 “你没抓住重点，”伊莱亚斯说。 “篮筐是最棒的部分。 这样我们就不会从梯子上掉下来了。” 就在他说这话的时候，以利亚已经开始意识到他的计划有问题。 实际上，没有人会想从梯子上爬下来，进入一颗正在爆炸的行星的熔融中心。 “算了吧，”伊莱亚斯说。“我们注定是要失败的。” 他坐在一根圆木上，兔子坐在他旁边。

"Yep! We are," said the bunny. "But at least Doug is, too!" Abigail was fed up with the situation. "Why is that a good thing?!" she yelled. "Why did you blow up a planet, just to spite someone you don't like? How does that make you any better?" Abigail paced around the clearing. "And how did you do it, anyway? You're just a bunny. How does a bunny become a planet destroyer?" "Just a bunny!" said the bunny, indignant. "I'll have you know only a bunny could do what I did." Like a bank robber who'd been caught redhanded, the bunny was all too happy to tell Abigail and Elias how he'd blown up the planet. "Listen to this!" said the bunny. "The planet's core is an ocean of white-hot magma. I know that because I like to dig, and I've dug farther than any bunny ever. So that magma, it's liquid rock, right? It runs through the entire planet through a series of underground tunnels and rivers. It heats the entire world! It provides steam to the hot springs, and minerals to the soil for the jungle plants. Every

“是的!我们是，”兔子说。 “但至少道格也是！”阿比盖尔受够了这种情况。 “为什么这是件好事？”她喊道。 “你为什么要炸掉一个星球，就为了报复一个你不喜欢的人？” 这对你有什么好处？”阿比盖尔在空地上踱来踱去。 “你到底是怎么做到的？” 你只是一只兔子。一只兔子是怎么变成行星毁灭者的？”“只是一只兔子！”兔子生气地说。 “我要让你知道，只有兔子才能做到我所做的。” 就像一个被当场抓住的银行抢劫犯一样，兔子非常高兴地告诉阿比盖尔和伊莱亚斯他是如何炸毁这个星球的。 “听这个！”兔子说。 这颗行星的核心是一片白热岩浆的海洋。 我知道这一点，因为我喜欢挖，而且我挖得比任何一只兔子都远。 岩浆是液态岩石，对吧？ 它通过一系列地下隧道和河流贯穿整个星球。 它温暖了整个世界！它为温泉提供蒸汽，为丛林植物提供土壤中的矿物质。 每一个

living being on the planet owes its life to the magma." "Speed it up, Bunny," said Abigail. "Like I said, I'm not just good at chopping down branches. I'm a world-class burrower. So over many weeks, I dug and dug and dug, far away from Doug and his Dougy brain. Eventually, I found the mouth of one of those magma rivers. I kicked and dug (no pun intended) until I'd piled up enough dirt and rock, cutting off that river of magma. Completely closed it off." "And then you did that again and again, until no lava flowed out," said Elias. He stood up. "And once all that magma built up in the center, the heat and the pressure became way too high. The steam generated by that magma had nowhere to go. So it exploded!"

地球上的生命都要感谢岩浆。” “快点，巴尼。”阿比盖尔说。 “就像我说的，我不只是擅长砍树枝。 我是世界级的挖洞高手。 所以在接下来的几个星期里，我挖啊挖啊挖，远离道格和他的道格大脑。 最终，我找到了其中一条岩浆河的入口。 我又踢又挖（没有双关语的意思），直到我堆了足够多的泥土和岩石，切断了岩浆流。 完全关闭了它。” “然后你一次又一次地这样做，直到没有熔岩流出来，”伊莱亚斯说。 他站了起来。“一旦所有的岩浆在中心积聚起来，热量和压力就会变得太高。 岩浆产生的蒸汽无处可去。 所以它爆炸了！”
