7 Bedloe's Island

Chapter 7 Bedloe's Island But the hunt wasn't over yet. The man in the bowler hat and green jacket had vanished into thin air. Now Luke and Sarah were sitting despondently on a crate beside the water's edge, staring at the ferries and other boats moving up and down the gray water of the Hudson

第七章贝德罗岛但是狩猎还没有结束。 那个戴圆顶硬礼帽、穿绿夹克的人消失得无影无踪了。 现在卢克和萨拉沮丧地坐在水边的一个板条箱上，盯着渡船和其他船只在哈德逊河灰色的水面上来来通常

River as it flowed toward the Atlantic Ocean. It was busier here on the docks than it had been in the heart of the city. "How do we tell the others that we've lost DeLay?" Luke said gloomily to Sarah. Sarah suddenly gasped. "Tesla!" she said. "At the ticket window! Look!" The neat tweed suit of Nikola Tesla could be glimpsed in the line at the ticket window, with his boxes and bags by his feet. It looked like he was buying his ticket back to Europe.

当它流向大西洋时。 这里的码头比市中心要繁忙得多。 “我们怎么告诉其他人我们失去了迪莱？”卢克沮丧地对莎拉说。 萨拉突然倒吸了一口气。“特斯拉！”她说。 “在售票窗口！”看!”尼古拉·特斯拉穿着整洁的花呢西装，站在售票窗口的队伍里，脚边放着他的箱子和包。 看起来他是在买回欧洲的机票。

"Yes, I have a lot of luggage," Tesla was telling the ticket agent as Luke and Sarah hurried over. "But it is all vital for my work. Work which is unappreciated here in America. Work which I will continue to do in Europe, where my genius will be recognized at last." The ticket guy scratched his head under his cap. "Whatever, buddy," he said. "You've still got too many bags." "But I must have them all!" cried Tesla. "I must sail home on the first ship across the Atlantic!" "You're going to be waiting a while, pal," observed a bearded old sailor propping up the other end of the ticket counter. "Storm's coming. Best not to cross the ocean in a storm."

“是的，我有很多行李。”特斯拉对售票员说，这时卢克和莎拉匆匆赶了过来。 “但这对我的工作至关重要。 在美国不被赏识的工作。 我将在欧洲继续从事这项工作，在那里我的天才将最终得到承认。” 检票员在帽子下面挠了挠头。 “无所谓，伙计，”他说。 “你的行李还是太多了。” “但我必须把它们都要回来！”特斯拉叫道。 “我必须乘第一艘船横渡大西洋回家！”“伙计，你得等一段时间了，”一个留着胡子的老水手站在售票台的另一端说。 “风暴要来了。最好不要在暴风雨中横渡大洋。”

"Mr. Tesla, sir!" cried Luke. Tesla turned in surprise. "We're on the trail of your stolen part, please just wait a little longer!" "We've nearly caught the villain," Sarah said. "He's right here, at the docks." There was a rumble from the cloudy sky overhead and a boom of thunder.

“特斯拉先生，先生！”卢克叫道。 特斯拉惊讶地转过身来。“我们正在追查你被偷走的那部分，请再等一会儿！”“我们就快抓到坏人了，”莎拉说。 “他就在这里，在码头上。” 头顶上多云的天空发出隆隆声，接着是隆隆的雷声。

"The old fella's right about the storm," said the ticket agent, nodding at the sailor, who gruffly nodded back. "No transatlantic sailings until it passes." Tesla sighed. He thrust his umbrella at Sarah. "Take it," he said. "To keep my stolen part dry, if you find it." "We won't let you down," Sarah promised, as she took the umbrella. "Cuckoo," added Tempo, which finally drew a smile from Tesla.

“老家伙说得对，暴风雨要来了。”售票员对水手点点头，水手也粗声粗气地点点头。 “在它通过之前，不准横渡大西洋。” 特斯拉叹了口气。他把伞猛地向萨拉扔去。 “拿去吧，”他说。“为了不让我被偷的那部分湿着，如果你找到的话。” “我们不会让你失望的。”莎拉一边拿起雨伞一边保证。 “杜鹃，”Tempo补充道，这句话终于让特斯拉露出了微笑。

"Good luck," the inventor said. "I will be here, waiting." As Luke and Sarah ran back out to the dock, Luke glimpsed a flash of green. It seemed that their luck had changed. Luke pointed. "DeLay is boarding that boat!" DeLay held his bowler hat tightly as he slipped aboard a ferry. The wood sign beside the jetty said BEDLOE'S ISLAND. "Bedloe's Island was renamed Liberty Island in 1956," said Luke. "It's where the Statue of Liberty is. Quick, the boat is casting off. We'll have to jump!" Sarah and Luke took a running jump

“祝你好运，”发明家说。 “我会在这里等着。” 当卢克和莎拉跑回码头时，卢克瞥见了一道绿色的闪光。 看来他们时来运转了。 路加福音指出。“迟延是上船！”迪莱滑上渡船时紧紧地握着他的圆顶礼帽。 码头旁的木牌上写着“贝德罗岛”。 “贝德罗岛在1956年更名为自由岛，”卢克说。 “自由女神像就在那里。 快，船要开船了。 我们必须跳下去！”莎拉和卢克跑着跳了一下
