10 A Voice from Above

Chapter Ten A Voice from Above Foggy led the troop through more tunnels. He was now carrying Finn and Elias under each arm. They were both still awake but exhausted from being slowly digested. "I can't believe this," said Finn. "Digestion is such a gross way to die." "Well," said Jern, "you're not exactly being digested. That brain isn't that brainy. Not the sharpest tack in the tack box. Not the brightest bulb in the bulbatorium." "Please," said Abigail. "Just say it." "Well, digestion means breaking something down, right?" said Jern. "Decomposing it. That's not what's happening to you. More likely it's the pressure of being inside a giant planet that's getting to you. You're a couple miles underground now. That will do a number on you."

第十章一个来自福吉上方的声音带领队伍穿过了更多的隧道。 他现在腋下夹着芬恩和伊莱亚斯。 他们俩都还醒着，但由于消化缓慢，已经筋疲力尽了。 “我简直不敢相信，”芬恩说。 “消化是一种非常恶心的死亡方式。” “嗯，”杰恩说，“你并没有被消化。 那个大脑没那么聪明。 不是钉盒里最锋利的钉。 不是最亮的灯泡。” “求求你。”阿比盖尔说。“说吧。” “嗯，消化就是把东西分解，对吧？” “分解它。这不是发生在你身上的。 更有可能的是，在一颗巨大的行星里，你受到的压力。 你现在在地下几英里。 那会对你产生影响的。”

"Not sure that makes me feel better," said Finn. "Oh, okay," said Jern. "Then yeah, you're being slowly digested by a giant alien." After shimmying past a gallbladder and bouncing off three different spleens, the troop found themselves in a wide tunnel. "Chums!" said Foggy. "We are almost there. It turns out I was wrong about there being only two ways out of Saphrite. You'll be glad to know that Saphrite has a belly button. And when she inhales, a small opening appears in the button. Lucky for us, a small opening on a planet is plenty big for us to squeeze out."

芬恩说：“我不确定这会让我感觉好一点。” “哦，好吧，”珍说。“那么，是的，你正在被一个巨大的外星人慢慢消化。” 在经过一个胆囊和三个不同的脾脏后，这群人发现自己进入了一个宽阔的隧道。 “朋友！”福吉说。“我们就快到了。 原来我说只有两条路能离开蓝宝石的说法是错的。 你会很高兴知道蓝宝石有肚脐。 当她吸气时，按钮上会出现一个小开口。 幸运的是，行星上的一个小开口足以让我们挤出去。”

Foggy paused for Vale to make a joke. But Vale wasn't in the joking mood. Vale looked at his friends. Finn was nearly asleep. Elias was limp in Foggy's arms. And Abigail looked like she had run a marathon, she was so sweaty. "Okay," said Vale. "I know I haven't always made the best decisions. But I think I have a plan,

福吉停了一下，让维尔开个玩笑。 但维尔并没有开玩笑的心情。 维尔看着他的朋友们。 芬恩几乎睡着了。伊莱亚斯瘫在福吉的怀里。 阿比盖尔看起来像跑了一场马拉松，浑身是汗。 “好吧，”瓦尔说。“我知道我并不总是做出最好的决定。 但我有个计划，

and you guys are in no shape to argue." He paused, waiting for them to argue. "Great," he continued. "Here's how it's going to go down. Foggy, you take Finn, Elias, and Abigail, and you head for that button. Me and the bug are going to bust his buddies out of the hoosegow." "The what?" said Jern. "The clink," said Vale. "The big house. The cooler. The crowbar hotel. The stony lonesome. The lonely stonesome." The beetle looked confused. "Prison," said Vale. "Once we see it, we'll break them out, and then meet up with my friends on the surface." "Vale," said Foggy, "I don't think you should be the one—" "STOP WHERE YOU ARE." A voice echoed through the tunnel. It seemed to be coming from the walls. "NO ONE ESCAPES ME." It was Saphrite. The giant planet had finally taken notice of the explorers. "Good thing we're not no one," said Vale. "We're Explorers Troop 301, and we always

你们俩也没资格争论。” 他停了一下，等着他们争论。 “太好了，”他接着说。“事情是这样发展的。 福吉，你带上芬恩，伊莱亚斯和阿比盖尔，去那个按钮那里。 我和虫子要把他的伙伴们从监狱里救出来。” “什么？”“叮当声。” “大房子。冷却器。 撬棍旅馆。石头般的寂寞。 孤独的石头。”甲虫看起来很困惑。 “监狱，”瓦尔说。“一旦我们看到它，我们就会把他们救出来，然后在地面上和我的朋友们见面。” “维尔，”福吉说，“我认为你不应该是那个——”“站住。” 一个声音在隧道里回响。 声音似乎是从墙上传来的。 “谁也逃不过我的手掌心。”是蓝宝石。 这颗巨大的行星终于注意到了探险者。 “还好我们不是无名小卒。” “我们是301探险队，我们一直都是

complete our missions." "YOU MAY NOT THINK I CAN FEEL YOU, BUT I CAN. YOU MAY NOT THINK I CAN HEAR YOU, BUT I CAN. YOU MAY NOT THINK I CAN SEE YOU, BUT I CAN." "That's... really... creepy," said Elias. He was having a hard time staying awake. "AND I AM NEVER LETTING YOU GO!" "Why not?" said Abigail. "You're a planet eater. We're nothing to you. Let us go, and we will never bother you again." "YOU MAY WANT TO ESCAPE..." "Yeah, that's what I just said," said Abigail. "BUT I WILL NOT LET YOU. MY ANTIBODIES WILL BE UPON YOU SOON, AND YOU WILL HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO GIVE UP AND BECOME MY LUNCH." "The lady loves her lunch," said Jern. "You're not going to convince her." Finn looked around. There was a red light up ahead. He slipped out of Foggy's arms and crawled to the opening. Inside was a small brain. Its bright red sparks flew around its tiny cave. He turned back around.

完成我们的任务。”“你可能认为我感觉不到你，但我能。 你可能觉得我听不见，但我能。 你可能认为我看不见你，但我能。” “这是……真的……令人毛骨悚然，”伊莱亚斯说。 他很难保持清醒。 “我永远不会让你走的！”“为什么？”阿比盖尔说。 “你是个吃行星的人。我们对你来说什么都不是。 让我们走吧，我们再也不打扰你了。” “你可能想逃跑……” “是啊，我就是这么说的。”阿比盖尔说。 “但我不会让你这么做的。我的抗体很快就会在你身上，你别无选择，只能放弃，成为我的午餐。” “这位女士喜欢她的午餐，”杰恩说。 “你说服不了她的。” 芬恩环顾四周。前面亮着红灯。 他从福吉的怀里溜出来，爬到洞口。 里面是一个小小的大脑。鲜红色的火花在它的小洞里飞舞。 他转过身来。

"Guys, I don't think that's Saphrite," said Finn. "There's a red brain up ahead. I think it's some sort of alarm system." "STOP WHERE YOU ARE," Saphrite's voice rang out again. "NO ONE ESCAPES ME." "See?" said Finn. "It's an alarm. I'd bet you a thousand dollars the next thing Saphrite says is, 'You may not think I can—'" "YOU MAY NOT THINK I CAN FEEL YOU," said Saphrite at the same time as Finn. "It's like a recording," said Finn. "So Saphrite can't actually see or feel us?" said Abigail. "We just tripped a wire? It's all

“伙计们，我不认为那是蓝宝石，”芬恩说。 “前面有一个红色的大脑。 我想这是某种报警系统。” “站住。”蓝宝石的声音再次响起。 “谁也逃不过我的手掌心。”“看到了吗？”芬恩说。 “这是警报器。我跟你赌一千美元，蓝宝石接下来说的是，“你可能不认为我能——”“你可能不认为我能感觉到你，”蓝宝石和芬恩同时说。 “就像录音一样，”芬恩说。 “这么说蓝宝石看不到我们，也感觉不到我们了？”阿比盖尔问。 “我们只是绊了一根电线？”这都是
