外星历险记 · 2 The Accidental Volcano
Chapter Seven Vale Figures It Out The investigative scope that Captain Caspian gave to Explorers Troop 301 was experimental. It had only been tested on everyday objects aboard the Marlowe. One engineer used it to see what the chefs had planned for dinner by looking through the fridge door. Another used it to find his favorite pen, which had rolled behind a couch. Everyone thought its power was limited. When Captain Caspian gave it to the explorers, she didn't think it was any more dangerous than their shoelaces. In other words, it was something for them to play with while they were on a boring planet. Where Captain Caspian went wrong was handing the experimental technology to Voltronix Zu. Voltronix Zu was also experimental technology. He was, if you think about it, a baby.
凯斯宾船长给301探险队的调查范围是实验性的。 它只在马洛号上的日常用品上做过试验。 一位工程师用它透过冰箱门看厨师们准备了什么晚餐。 另一个人用它去找他最喜欢的钢笔,那支钢笔滚到了沙发后面。 每个人都认为它的力量有限。 凯斯宾船长把它交给探险者时,她并不认为它比他们的鞋带更危险。 换句话说,这是他们在一个无聊的星球上玩的东西。 凯斯宾船长犯错的地方是把实验技术交给伏特罗妮·祖。 Voltronix Zu也是一项实验技术。 仔细想想,他当时还是个婴儿。
A big, shiny metal baby who was really loud and thought he knew everything. So when he saw Foggy flying at him, Voltronix wanted to prove himself. Who was this other robot to stop him? And who were those kids to boss him around? He was Voltronix Zu! The most important robot in the entire universe. He was made special. He wasn't going to listen to anything anyone told him. And so he cranked the scope up as high as it would go. He held Foggy off and raised it to his eye. "THERE! I CAN SEE IT!" shouted Voltronix. "THERE IS SOMETHING DOWN THERE. I TOLD YOU!" Voltronix pointed at Foggy. "AND I TOLD YOU AND YOU AND YOU AND YOU." Voltronix pointed at the kids as they ran back up the hill. The river beneath Foggy and Voltronix began to open. The water rushed away from the middle. The grass the kids ran across began to disappear into the dirt. It was like some underground giant was grabbing the roots and pulling each blade down through the surface. "This is bad, right?" said Vale.
一个又大又闪亮的金属娃娃,声音很大,自以为无所不知。 所以当他看到福吉朝他飞来时,伏特罗尼克斯想要证明自己。 另一个能阻止他的机器人是谁? 那些孩子有什么资格对他颐指气使? 他是伏尔特罗尼克斯祖!全宇宙最重要的机器人。 他是特别的。他不会听任何人告诉他的任何事。 于是他把瞄准镜调得尽可能高。 他把福吉拉开,举到眼前。 “有!我看见了!”沃特罗尼克斯喊道。 “下面有东西。” 我告诉过你!”沃特罗尼克斯指着福吉。 “我告诉了你,你,你,还有你。” 当孩子们跑回山上时,沃特罗尼克斯指着他们。 福吉和沃尔特罗尼克斯脚下的河流开始畅通。 水从中间奔流而去。 孩子们跑过的草地开始消失在泥土里。 就像有个地下巨人在抓着树根,把每根叶子从地表拉下来。 “这很糟糕,对吧?”
"I DID IT!" yelled Voltronix Zu. "I, VOLTRONIX ZU, SOLVED THE MYSTERY OF THIS PLANET. I CAN SEE THEM NOW. THE LIFE-FORMS WHO LIVE HERE. THEY'RE CLIMBING UP." "Yeah, that sounds bad," said Abigail. "I doubt it's a welcoming committee." "Foggy, Voltronix!" yelled Finn. "Please. Come here! We need to stick together."
“我成功了!”沃特罗尼克斯·祖喊道。 “我,沃卓尼克斯祖,解开了这个星球的奥秘。 我现在能看到他们了。生活在这里的生物。 他们在往上爬。”“是啊,听起来很糟糕。”阿比盖尔说。 “我怀疑这是不是一个欢迎委员会。” “福吉,沃特罗尼克斯!”芬恩喊道。 “请。来这里!我们需要团结一致。”
The two robots flew to where the kids stood atop the hill. Their explorer pod was parked just a few hundred yards away. But they all stood still and watched as a mountain began rising from the river. The water flowed away and spread across the land. "Oh no, Voltronix," said Abigail. "What did you do?" "I MADE A MOUNTAIN," said Voltronix. "AMAZING! I, VOLTRONIX ZU, HAVE MADE A MOUNTAIN." "I don't know if that's as cool as you think it is, Voltronix," said Abigail.
两个机器人飞到孩子们站在山顶的地方。 他们的探险舱就停在几百码外。 但他们都站着不动,看着一座山从河里升起。 河水流走,漫过大地。 “哦,不,伏特罗尼克斯。” “你做了什么?”“我造了一座山。”沃尔特罗尼克斯说。 “神奇!我,voltronix zu,造了一座山。” “我不知道这是否像你想的那么酷,沃特罗尼克斯。”阿比盖尔说。
"WHAT?! IT'S SUPER COOL," said the robot. He was now literally patting himself on the back again. He was really good at that. "HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE A STUPID PLANET TO MAKE A MOUNTAIN? A BILLION YEARS?! I DID IT IN WAY LESS THAN THAT. STUPID PLANET." "I don't think that's a mountain," said Finn. "Look. There's no peak, and it's open at the top. I think you made a volcano, Voltronix!" "OH, IS THAT COOL, TOO?!" "No!" shouted all the explorers at once. They hugged each other and waited for an explosion. But nothing came. No lava. No bursts of burning ash or clouds of smoke. It was like the rest of the planet. Silent. "I can't believe you guys did that. Is this what you're like all the time?" The explorers all spun around. The hatch of their explorer pod was open. And marching toward them, in a space suit way too big for her, was Paige. "Paige?!" said Finn. "What are you doing here?!"
“什么? !这太酷了,”机器人说。 他现在又在拍拍自己的背了。 他真的很擅长这个。 “一个愚蠢的星球要花多长时间才能造出一座山?” 十亿年?!我做得比那少多了。 愚蠢的地球。”“我不认为那是一座山,”芬恩说。 “看。没有峰顶,峰顶是开放的。 我想你造了一座火山,沃特罗尼克斯!”“哦,那也很酷吗?!”“不!”所有的探险家异口同声地喊道。 他们互相拥抱,等待着爆炸。 但是什么也没有发生。没有熔岩。 没有燃烧的灰烬或烟雾。 就像地球上的其他地方一样。 沉默。“我真不敢相信你们这么做了。 你一直都是这个样子吗?”探险者们全都转过身来。 他们探险舱的舱门是开着的。 向他们走来的是佩姬,她穿着一件对她来说太大的太空服。 “佩吉?!”芬恩说。“你在这儿干什么?!”
"I don't know what you guys did with that scope thing, but the bubble aliens say you turned their planet inside out and ruined everything," said Paige, getting closer. "What are bubble aliens?" said Foggy. "They sound cute." "Paige!" shouted Finn. "What. Are. You. Doing. Here?!" "If you had taken even a second to look around before you destroyed their planet, you would have seen them," said Paige. She was standing right in front of them now. And, to everyone's surprise, circling around her head were bubbles. Small bubbles. They looked like the kind of tiny bubbles you wipe off a bubble wand after you've blown your big bubbles.
“我不知道你们用那个瞄准镜做了什么,但是泡泡外星人说你们把他们的星球翻了个底朝天,把一切都毁了。”佩吉说着走近了。 “什么是泡沫外星人?”福吉说。 “它们听起来很可爱。”“佩吉!”芬恩喊道。 “什么。是什么。你。做的事情。在这里? !”“如果你在摧毁他们的星球之前花一秒钟环顾四周,你就会看到他们,”佩奇说。 她现在就站在他们面前。 出乎所有人意料的是,她的头周围是泡泡。 小泡沫。它们看起来就像你吹完大泡泡后用泡泡棒擦掉的小泡泡。
