3 I’m Going to Need You to Spell That

Chapter Three I'm Going to Need You to Spell That "Foggy, up!" Abigail shouted. "Grab us and go!" Maybe Foggy only heard the first part. The stomping of the giant gray aliens was so loud Abigail could hardly hear herself. As soon as the aliens started charging the kids, Foggy activated the rocket boosters in his feet. He shot off directly toward the giants as Finn, Abigail, Elias, and Vale scattered behind him. To be fair to Foggy, he did catch the giants by surprise. They didn't know what to do with this strange metal creature flying straight at them. The giant in the middle stopped dead in its tracks and cocked its head to the side. Maybe it was the fire coming out of Foggy's feet. Maybe it was the fact that Foggy had been standing still a second ago

第三章我需要你拼写“福吉，起来！”阿比盖尔喊道。 “抓住我们，快走！”也许福吉只听到了第一部分。 巨大的灰色外星人的脚步声太大了，阿比盖尔几乎听不见自己的声音。 外星人一开始冲向孩子们，福吉就启动了脚上的火箭助推器。 他直接向巨人们冲去，芬恩、阿比盖尔、伊莱亚斯和维尔在他身后四散逃散。 说句公道话，福吉确实给巨人们打了个措手不及。 他们不知道该怎么对付这个向他们飞来的奇怪的金属生物。 中间的巨人突然停了下来，把头歪向一边。 也许是福吉脚里冒出的火焰。 也许是因为福吉一秒钟前还站着不动

and was now shooting directly at it. Or maybe it was the big smile on Foggy's face as he flew straight at the giant's nose.

现在正朝它开枪。 也可能是福吉冲着巨人的鼻子飞过去时脸上露出的灿烂笑容。

"Hallo, friend!" cried Foggy just before the middle giant swatted him away. Foggy bounced off the belly of the alien on the right, then off the belly of the alien on the left, and finally came to a clumsy halt on the floor. "Well, that was unpleasant," said the robot. "And I believe we have eleven minutes and forty-

“你好，朋友！”就在中间的巨人把福吉拍走之前，福吉喊道。 福吉从右边外星人的肚子上跳了下来，然后又从左边外星人的肚子上跳了下来，最后笨拙地停在地板上。 “嗯，那是不愉快的，”机器人说。 “我相信我们还有十一分四十——

two seconds now to solve your little—" Foggy held up his hand to the giants. "DON'T run around screaming or smack me again, big things," Foggy said. "I'm simply stating, we need to get to work." In the back of the courtyard, the four explorers were hiding behind a stem of giant berries that dangled off one of the plants. "Okay," Vale whispered to his friends. "Abigail and Finn, you two climb this plant. Elias and I will pass you this bunch of berries here. When you get to the top, throw them at the giants. See if you can splatter them on their faces so they can't see. Then Elias and I will run out of the garden and meet you two and Foggy back at the explorer pod. Got it?" "So your plan is that Abigail and I throw a bunch of fruit at three angry giants while you two slip away?" said Finn. He was starting to sweat from the heat of the gardens. The fact that his thick black hair had stuck to his forehead was only adding to his frustration. There's no good way to get sweaty hair out of your eyes with an eight-pound helmet on your head. "That sounds like a great plan if your name isn't Abigail or Finn."

现在两秒钟解决你的小——”福吉向巨人们举起手。 “别再跑来跑去尖叫，也别再打我了，大家伙，”福吉说。 “我只是说，我们需要开始工作了。” 在院子的后面，四个探险者躲在一根悬挂在一棵植物上的巨大浆果茎后面。 “好吧，”维尔低声对他的朋友们说。 “阿比盖尔和芬恩，你们俩爬上这棵树。 伊莱亚斯和我会把这束浆果递给你。 当你到达顶峰时，把它们扔向巨人。 看看你能不能把它们溅到他们脸上，让他们看不见。 然后伊莱亚斯和我跑出花园去探险舱跟你们和福吉会合。 明白了吗?”“所以你的计划是，我和阿比盖尔向三个愤怒的巨人扔一串水果，而你们两个溜走？”芬恩说。 花园的高温使他开始出汗。 他浓密的黑发一直贴在额头上，这只会增加他的挫败感。 戴着一顶8磅重的头盔，没有什么好办法能把汗毛从眼睛里弄出来。 “如果你的名字不是阿比盖尔或芬恩，这听起来是个不错的计划。”

"Yeah," said Abigail. "And there are only eight berries in this bunch, but there are three aliens with four eyes each, so that's twelve. Maybe while we're throwing berries at them, you two can run out and poke the other four eyes." "Ha-ha, very funny," said Vale. "Got any other ideas? Those three are going to blow up this planet in a couple minutes, so make it snappy." "STOP!" Another alien voice, louder than the other ones, rang out in the explorers' heads. "My guards are a little jumpy, but they would never harm this planet." "How about four kids and a tin can?" asked Vale. "They have any plans to harm us?" But the giant aliens were already shuffling back between the tall trees. Something had spooked them. A small alien walked out from the shadows. It looked like the smaller aliens that had met the explorers when they landed, only its tennis-ball brain shone bright red.

“是啊。”阿比盖尔说。“这串浆果只有八个，但有三个外星人，每个人有四只眼睛，所以是十二个。 也许我们朝他们扔浆果的时候，你们俩可以跑出去戳另外四只眼睛。” “哈哈，很有趣，”瓦尔说。 “还有别的主意吗？”那三个人会在几分钟内炸毁这个星球，所以快点。” “住手!”另一个外星人的声音，比其他声音更响亮，在探险者的脑海中响起。 “我的卫兵有点神经质，但他们永远不会伤害这个星球。” “四个孩子和一个锡罐怎么样？”维尔问。 “他们有什么伤害我们的计划吗？”但是那些巨大的外星人已经在高大的树木之间拖着脚步往回走了。 有什么东西把他们吓坏了。 一个小外星人从阴影中走了出来。 它看起来就像登陆时遇到探险者的小外星人，只是它的网球般的大脑闪着鲜红色的光芒。

There was also something about the look on its face, the openness of its four eyes, that helped the explorers relax. They made their way out from under the leaves, embarrassed to have cowered in the corner. Finn helped Foggy off the ground. "You okay?" Finn whispered. "Never better," said Foggy. "You just got smacked by a giant and bounced off two bellies," said Finn. "You sure about that?" "Of course!" said Foggy. "I think the little red-brained guy is about to send us on our adventure." The explorers all felt the alien leader laugh.

它脸上的表情，四只眼睛睁得大大的，也让探险者们放松下来。 他们从树叶底下钻了出来，因为缩在角落里而感到不好意思。 芬恩帮助福吉离开地面。 “你没事吧?”芬恩低声说。 “再好不过了，”福吉说。 芬恩说：“你刚刚被一个巨人打了一下，从两个肚子里弹了出来。” “你确定吗？”“当然！”福吉说。 “我想这个红脑袋的小家伙要送我们去冒险了。” 探险者们都感觉到外星首领在笑。
