4 Open Wide

Chapter Four Open Wide As Saphrite's eye rose over the horizon, the explorers began to panic. Vale ran toward the grass, Finn and Elias toward the mountains, and Abigail shouted instructions. "Don't split up!" she yelled. "That never works!" "A moment, please!" said Foggy. He held up a hand to slow down the group. "Abigail is right. We must stay together. I believe we should return to the explorer pod." Finn and Elias turned back to the group. "Foggy!" called Finn. "Can you please fetch Vale?" Foggy soared over to the grass and lifted Vale into the air. "I can see the explorer pod from here," said Foggy. "And I have good news! It is not far!"

当蓝宝莉的眼睛升到地平线上时，探险者们开始惊慌起来。 维尔向草地跑去，芬恩和伊莱亚斯向山上跑去，阿比盖尔大声命令。 “别分开！”她喊道。 “这行不通！”“请等一下！”福吉说。 他举起一只手让这群人慢下来。 阿比盖尔说得对。我们必须待在一起。 我认为我们应该回到探险舱去。” 芬恩和伊莱亚斯转身回到人群中。 “福格！”芬恩叫道。“你能把瓦尔叫来吗？”弗格飞到草地上，把韦尔举到了空中。 “我可以从这里看到探险舱，”福吉说。 “我有好消息！”离这儿不远！”

"And I have bad news," said Vale. He paused. "Well, there's a lot of bad news, actually." Foggy flew up higher for a better view. "It's the antibodies, isn't it?" said the beetle. "Those jamokes." "Antibodies?" asked Abigail. The beetle explained that Saphrite, like any other living creature, often gets sick. And like anyone else, when she gets sick, her body produces antibodies. Antibodies are like medicine your body makes to stop an illness in its tracks. For humans, they're little invisible molecules that do battle where you can't see. "On a giant planet-sized alien like the head honcho here," said the beetle, "the antibodies are actual ants." A swarm of enormous, purple-armored ants was rushing out of the mountains to the west. They wore purple helmets and waved around thin, sparkling swords. They did not look friendly.

“我有坏消息，”瓦尔说。 他停顿了一下。“嗯，实际上有很多坏消息。” 弗格为了看得更清楚，飞得更高了。 “是抗体的问题，对吗？”甲虫说。 “那些咖啡茶。”“抗体？”阿比盖尔问。 甲虫解释说，蓝宝石和其他生物一样，经常生病。 和其他人一样，当她生病时，她的身体会产生抗体。 抗体就像你的身体制造的药物，可以阻止疾病的发展。 对人类来说，它们是小的看不见的分子，在你看不见的地方战斗。 “在像这个大老板这样一个巨大的行星大小的外星人身上，”甲虫说，“抗体是真正的蚂蚁。” 一大群身披紫色铠甲的大蚂蚁正从山上向西冲去。 他们头戴紫色头盔，挥舞着闪闪发光的细剑。 他们看起来并不友好。

"Yep, we see the ants," said Vale. "And, oops, they're attacking our pod. And—oh no—they are definitely scratching the paint." "Vale, remember when you said this planet was boring?" Elias said as Foggy and Vale landed. "That was hilarious." The army of antibody ants spotted the explorers and began marching faster, swinging their swords. The explorers could see another battalion streaming over the opposite horizon, slashing through the armpit jungle. They were coming straight for the Marlowe kids. No matter

“是的，我们看到蚂蚁了，”瓦尔说。 “哎呀，他们正在攻击我们的舱。 哦，不，它们肯定在刮油漆。” “瓦尔，还记得你说过这个星球很无聊吗？”弗吉和维尔上岸时，伊莱亚斯说。 “太搞笑了。”抗体蚁群发现了探险者，挥舞着剑开始加速前进。 探险者们可以看到另一个营从对面的地平线上呼啸而过，在腋窝茂密的丛林中疾驰而过。 他们直奔马洛家的孩子们而来。 不管

where the explorers turned, they would run into an army of ants. "The only way we Marlowe explorer friends can get out of this situation," said Foggy, "is by going that way." "Where?" asked Finn. "There," said Foggy. The robot pointed at two large hills that were clearly, horrifyingly Saphrite's lips. "Where now?" asked Abigail. "Right through there," said Foggy. "It's so weird," said Elias. "I swear it looks like you're pointing at Saphrite's mouth." "I am," said Foggy. "Oh, I get it," said Vale. "You think we should fake like we're running at the mouth. Then we cut back and run to the pod." "No," said Foggy. "I mean we should go into the mouth." The explorers were speechless. Foggy was usually so logical. But now he was suggesting they save themselves by being eaten by a giant planet. "The metal man's got a point," said the beetle. "You're not getting to your ship, and maybe those

无论探险者走到哪里，他们都会遇到一群蚂蚁。 “我们这些马洛探险家朋友要想摆脱这种情况，”福吉说，“唯一的办法就是走那条路。” “在哪儿？”芬恩问。“好了，”福吉说。 机器人指着两座大山，那显然是萨菲莉的嘴唇。 “现在去哪儿？”阿比盖尔问。 “就在那儿。”福吉说。 “这太奇怪了，”伊莱亚斯说。 “我发誓你好像在指着蓝宝石的嘴。” “是的，”福吉说。“哦，我明白了，”维尔说。 “你认为我们应该装出一副流着口水的样子。 然后我们就掉头跑回豆荚。” “不，”福吉说。“我的意思是我们应该进入口腔。” 探险者们哑口无言。 福吉通常都很有逻辑。 但现在他建议他们通过被一颗巨大的行星吃掉来拯救自己。 “金属人说得有道理，”甲虫说。 “你不能回到你的船，也许那些

ants won't follow you down there. Nobody likes to go down there." "Why not?" said Elias. "You'll see," said the beetle. "Okay, that sounds kinda terrifying," said Finn. "Foggy, what do we do once we get into the mouth?" "That's when you come up with a new plan and save the day," said Foggy. "It's that simple!" The antibody ants were now just a football field away from the explorers. The kids could hear them shouting taunts and insults as they got closer. "Look at those two-legged weirdos!" "They don't even have antennae!" "Yeah! And who has only two eyes anymore? That's so nineties." "Abigail!" said Finn. "It's your call. You're captain." "I say we stay and fight off the ants!" said Vale. He started swaying his hips. "Come on, it'll be epic! No one will believe us!" "Vale, what is your deal?" said Elias. "This is what it's all about!" shouted Vale. "Adventure!"

蚂蚁不会跟着你下去的。 没人喜欢去那里。” “为什么不呢？”“你会看到的，”甲虫说。 “好吧，这听起来有点可怕，”芬恩说。 “福吉，我们进入嘴巴后该怎么办？”福吉说：“这时你就会想出一个新计划，扭转局面。” “就是这么简单！”抗体蚂蚁现在离探险者只有一个足球场的距离。 当他们走近时，孩子们可以听到他们的嘲笑和侮辱。 “看那些两条腿的怪人！”“它们连触角都没有！”“是啊!还有谁只有两只眼睛？ 这太90年代了。”“阿比盖尔！” “这是你的决定。你是队长。” “我说我们留下来赶走蚂蚁吧！” 他开始扭动臀部。 “来吧，这将是史诗般的！”没有人会相信我们的！”“瓦尔，你是怎么回事？”伊莱亚斯说。 “这就是问题所在！” “冒险!”

"Actually, not true," said Abigail. "Right now, it's all about whether we fight off hundreds of armed ants or we dive into a monster's mouth." "That settles it!" shouted Vale. "History awaits!" Vale did one of his famous somersault-flip-jump-kick-heel-taps and took off running. He glanced over his shoulder for a second to see how close the ants were, and then ran faster. Saphrite's eye was now higher in the sky, casting a bright light over the planet. The explorers ran after Vale. They could see two strange caverns ahead. Vale darted toward them. "No!" shouted Foggy. "Vale, those are Saphrite's nostrils!" "Gross!" gagged Vale. He stumbled, turned right, and saw two wide hills. Saphrite's lips. Elias caught up to Vale.

“事实上，不是这样的。”阿比盖尔说。 “现在，关键是我们是要击退数百只武装蚂蚁，还是要潜入怪物的嘴里。” “这就解决了！” “历史等待!”维尔做了一个他著名的空翻——空翻跳跃——踢脚跟，然后开始奔跑。 他回头瞥了一眼，看看蚂蚁离他有多近，然后跑得更快了。 蓝宝石的眼睛现在在天空中更高的地方，在这个星球上投下一道明亮的光。 探险者们追赶Vale。 他们可以看到前面有两个奇怪的洞穴。 维尔向他们冲了过去。“不！”福吉喊道。 “瓦尔，那是蓝宝石的鼻孔！”“恶心！” 他绊了一下，向右拐，看到了两座宽山。 Saphrite的嘴唇。伊莱亚斯追上了瓦尔。
