3 The Eyes Have It

Chapter Three The Eyes Have It "I'm sorry," said Foggy. "I believe we're having some language translation problems. You said she is the planet. I think you meant to say, she is on this planet." The bug shook its head. "I'm trying to shoot you straight," it said. "Give you the real deal. The true blue. The no-doubt readout." "Got it," said Elias. "So the true-blue answer is that Saphrite is the planet? Like, we're standing on an alien so big, so massive, that this whole time we thought we were standing on an entire world?" The beetle winked. "True blue," it said. The kids were stunned. There was nothing in the explorer handbook that could have prepared them for this.

“对不起，”福吉说。 “我认为我们在语言翻译上遇到了一些问题。 你说她就是地球。 我想你的意思是说，她在这个星球上。” 虫子摇了摇头。它说：“我正试着直截了当地告诉你。” “给你真正的东西。真正的蓝色。 毫无疑问的读数。”“明白了，”伊莱亚斯说。 “所以真正的答案是蓝宝石就是那颗行星？” 就像，我们站在一个如此巨大的外星人上，以至于我们一直以为我们站在一个完整的世界上？”甲虫眨了眨眼睛。 “真蓝，”它说。孩子们都惊呆了。 探险者手册中没有任何内容能让他们为此做好准备。

"Okay, I'm calling it," said Abigail. "Game over. Everyone back to the pod." "Seriously?" said Vale. "We're just going to turn around and leave?" "This sounds really dangerous," said Finn. "So Abigail just gets to call it?" shouted Vale. "It's an alien as big as a planet," replied Finn. "She's not as big as a planet, she is the planet," said the bug. "She's the whole enchilada. The entire burrito. The complete chimichanga." "Yeah, but we could make history!" said Vale. "And as sergeant-at-arms of this explorers troop, I say we stay. I'm not scared."

“好吧，我来宣布。”阿比盖尔说。 “游戏结束了。大家都回到舱里去。” “真的吗？”“我们就这样转身离开吗？”“这听起来真的很危险，”芬恩说。 “这么说，阿比盖尔就可以喊了？” “这是一个像行星一样大的外星人，”芬恩回答。 “她没有行星那么大，她就是行星。”虫子说。 “她是整个玉米饼。 整个卷饼。完整的化学变化。” “是啊，但我们可以创造历史！” “作为这支探险队的士官，我建议我们留下来。 我不害怕。”

"You jumped into Foggy's arms when the grass made a noise," said Abigail. "No, I didn't," said Vale. "That was an allergic reaction. But I'm better now. Come on, guys, this is our one chance to really be in the record books. Where's your sense of adventure? Where's the bravery and courage that only a Marlowe explorers troop has?" "I'm with Finn and Abigail," said Elias. "This bug said Saphrite is a planet eater." "I did," said the beetle. "So she literally eats planets?" said Elias. "Sure does," said the beetle. "So she'll have no trouble eating four kids and a robot," said Elias. "She's eaten less accidentally," said the beetle. "And she's not going to be happy that your rock thrower over here woke her up before her alarm." Vale was about to say it wasn't his fault, but the beetle twitched its antennae. "Everything you see here is Saphrite," said the bug. "See those majestic purple mountains over there? Those are the spiny ridges of her backbone. And that hill just past the mountains? That's one of her ears."

“草发出声响的时候，你跳进了福吉的怀里。”阿比盖尔说。 “不，我没有，”维尔说。 “那是过敏反应。 但是我现在好多了。伙计们，这是我们载入史册的唯一机会。 你的冒险精神哪去了？ 只有马洛探险队才有的那种勇敢和勇气哪儿去了？”“我和芬恩和阿比盖尔在一起，”伊莱亚斯说。 “这只虫子说蓝宝石是吃行星的。” “是的，”甲虫说。“所以她真的吃行星？”伊莱亚斯说。 “当然，”甲虫说。 伊莱亚斯说：“所以她可以毫不费力地吃掉四个孩子和一个机器人。” “她不小心吃得少了，”甲虫说。 “你的扔石头的人在她闹铃响之前把她吵醒了，她不会高兴的。” 维尔刚想说这不是他的错，但甲虫抽动了它的触角。 “你在这里看到的一切都是蓝宝石，”虫子说。 “看到那边那些雄伟的紫色山脉了吗？” 这些是她脊椎骨上的多刺脊。 那山那边的小山丘呢？ 那是她的一只耳朵。”

"So what's this grass?" said Vale. "That would be her armpit," said the beetle. "And before you start in on me about how gross that is: Trust me. I know. I'm the jamoke who lives in the armpit." "Yep, that does it," said Abigail. "Back to the pod. We're getting out of here." "And that yellow light you see over there?" said the beetle. "See it, coming up over the

“那么，这是什么草呢？” “那是她的腋窝，”甲虫说。 在你开始对我说这有多恶心之前：相信我。 我知道。我是住在腋窝里的傻瓜。” “对，就是这样。”阿比盖尔说。 “回到荚果里去。我们要离开这里。” “你看到那边那个黄色的灯呢？”甲虫说。 “看，它从

horizon?" "Why, it's a second sun," said Foggy. "How beautiful." "She'll be glad to hear you say that," said the beetle. "Because that is no sun. That is her eye. And I believe she is looking for you."

地平线?”“咦，这是第二个太阳。”福吉说。 “多漂亮。”“她听你这么说会很高兴的，”甲虫说。 “因为那里没有太阳。那是她的眼睛。 我相信她正在找你。”
