12 The End Is Nearish

Chapter Twelve The End Is Nearish Finn balanced on the edge of the bridge that the giant aliens had just built. He looked down into the ravine. The planet was breaking apart. The bridge was shaking along with the planet. It was like standing on a seesaw during an earthquake. Their ship was down there, in the ravine. It was made to withstand extreme temperatures, and it was still in one piece. It had rolled onto its side and landed on a shelf of rock. Beneath that shelf was a lake of molten lava. Out of the corner of his eye, he could see Vale next to him. He looked as scared as Finn felt. "And now," said Doug. "For a moment of incredible heroism. You will be spoken of for centuries to come. Finn and Vale, you are strangers to this world, but with this one selfless

芬恩站在巨大的外星人刚刚建造的桥的边缘保持平衡。 他向下看了看峡谷。 这个星球正在分裂。 桥随着地球的晃动而晃动。 就像地震时站在跷跷板上一样。 他们的船就在下面的峡谷里。 它可以承受极端的温度，而且它仍然是完整的。 它翻了个身，落在一块岩石上。 在架子下面是一个熔岩湖。 从眼角余光，他可以看到维尔就在他旁边。 他看起来和芬恩一样害怕。 “现在，”道格说。“为了那一刻不可思议的英雄主义。 你将在未来的几个世纪里被人提起。 芬恩和瓦尔，你们对这个世界是陌生人，但对这个世界却是无私的

act you will become legends to our people. We are grateful to you, and we await your return." Finn looked back at the edge of the cliff. A deep rumble came from below him. The planet had almost completely coconutted now. It was breaking apart. The quakes were so strong, even the giants looked like they might topple over. Finn couldn't quite remember how he and Vale had gotten onto the bridge. He looked over at his friend and saw that his head seemed to be glowing inside his helmet. Vale's eyes looked unfocused, like they weren't seeing what was in front of them. "Why are we doing this?!" called Finn. "Why are you all standing over there while we are out in the middle of the chasm?" "Because only you know how to fly the ship." Doug's words appeared in his head. "You have to be the ones to go get it."

行动起来，你将成为我们人民的传奇。 我们很感激你，我们期待着你的归来。” 芬恩回头看了看悬崖边上。 下面传来一声低沉的隆隆声。 这个星球现在几乎完全被椰子化了。 它正在分裂。地震是如此强烈，就连巨人看起来都要倒下了。 芬恩不太记得他和维尔是怎么上桥的。 他看了看他的朋友，发现他的头似乎在头盔里发光。 维尔的眼睛似乎没有集中注意力，就像他们没有看到面前的东西一样。 “我们为什么要这样做？！”芬恩喊道。 “为什么你们都站在那里，而我们却在裂口中间？”“因为只有你知道怎么驾驶这艘船。” 道格的话出现在他的脑海里。 “你们必须自己去争取。”

Finn shook his head, trying to clear out Doug's words, but he couldn't. All he could picture was himself and Vale jumping off the bridge. They would land on the pod. They would fly the ship up and out of there. They would pick up the aliens and drink lemonade as they escaped. Why was it always lemonade? He didn't even like lemonade.

芬恩摇了摇头，试图理清道格的话，但他做不到。 他所能想象的就是他自己和维尔从桥上跳下去。 他们会降落在太空舱上。 他们会让船飞起来离开那里。 他们会接外星人，在他们逃跑的时候喝柠檬水。 为什么总是柠檬水？ 他甚至不喜欢柠檬水。

"Please hurry now," said Doug. "We have maybe six minutes left. But that's being generous." It was all so overwhelming for Finn. The pictures in his head, the heat from the chasm, the smoke rising all around them. He and Vale held hands. Without saying a word, they listened to Doug's counting in their heads. "Three... two... one." They jumped. The steam from the magma blew brutal winds up at them. Their space suits became hotter and hotter as they plummeted. Finn squeezed Vale's hand even tighter. Vale's eyes were now focused, and terrified, looking back at Finn. There was nothing they could do. They had to hope they could land on the ship and get inside it. But they weren't falling toward the ship. They were headed right for the lava! Suddenly, a gust of wind knocked them sideways. They spun wildly. Finn couldn't tell which way was up. It was just a few seconds before Finn realized they weren't falling anymore. They were headed toward a rocky ledge. And it wasn't the wind that

“请快点，”道格说。 “我们大概还剩下6分钟。 但这是慷慨的表现。” 这一切都让芬恩难以承受。 他脑子里的画面，深渊里的热气，周围升起的烟雾。 他和维尔手牵着手。他们二话没说，听着道格在心里数数。 “三…两个……一个。”他们吓了一跳。 岩浆喷出的蒸汽向它们猛烈地吹来。 他们的太空服在坠落过程中变得越来越热。 芬恩把维尔的手捏得更紧了。 维尔的眼睛现在集中起来，惊恐地看着芬恩。 他们什么也做不了。 他们只能希望自己能降落在船上，然后钻进去。 但他们并没有朝飞船坠落。 他们直奔熔岩而去！突然，一阵风把他们吹向一边。 他们疯狂地旋转着。芬恩分不清哪条路是上。 几秒钟后芬恩才意识到他们不再下落了。 他们朝一块礁石走去。 并不是风

had changed their direction. It was Foggy! The robot had grabbed Finn's left ankle and Vale's right elbow and was piloting them to safety. When they landed, Finn hugged Foggy hard. "Thank you" was all he could say, he was so out of breath. But Vale had recovered a little more quickly.

改变了他们的方向。 是福吉！机器人抓住了芬恩的左脚踝和维尔的右肘，把他们带到安全的地方。 着陆后，芬恩紧紧地拥抱了福吉。 “谢谢你”是他唯一能说的话，他上气不接下气。 但淡水河谷恢复得稍快一些。

"Wow, great work," he said to Foggy as they high-fived. "You kept us from becoming doom doughnuts." Finn grabbed Foggy. He needed to explain to the robot that Doug had messed with Vale's brain. "You know," said Vale. "Because we would have been dunked into the lava. And that would have been our doom. Like if you dunked a doughnut. Into doom. Doom doughnuts. Think about it for a second. It works." Finn laughed. "Hey, you're back!" said Finn. "Yep, totally un-Doug'd!" laughed Vale. "Foggy, I'm so sorry," said Finn. "I—I couldn't think straight. Doug had—" "I know," said Foggy. "The bunny told us you'd been Doug'd. And I know your next question, too. I left Abigail and Elias up in the forest. Elias was building something to help get us out of here. But now that we're here, we should be able to just get in the ship and fly to them." "One problem," said Vale. "Actually, three problems. Three very large, very angry problems." Vale pointed up. The giant aliens were quickly climbing down the rock face. And they did not

“哇，干得好。”他们击掌时，他对福吉说。 “你让我们免于成为厄运甜甜圈。” 芬恩抓住福吉。他需要向机器人解释道格扰乱了瓦尔的大脑。 “你知道的，”瓦尔说。“因为我们会被淹没在熔岩中。 那将是我们的末日。 就像你把甜甜圈泡在水里一样。 到末日。厄运甜甜圈。 想一下。 它的工作原理。”芬恩笑了。“嘿，你回来了！”芬恩说。 “是的，完全不是道格！” “福吉，我很抱歉，”芬恩说。 “我无法思考。 道格——”“我知道，”福吉说。 “兔子告诉我们你被道格杀了。 我也知道你的下一个问题。 我把阿比盖尔和以利亚留在森林里了。 伊莱亚斯在造东西帮我们离开这里。 但是既然我们来了，我们应该能够坐上飞船飞向他们。” “有一个问题，”瓦尔说。“实际上，有三个问题。 三个非常大、非常令人愤怒的问题。” 维尔向上指了指。巨大的外星人正迅速从岩石表面爬下来。 但他们没有
