10 Jolt Escapes

10 Jolt Escapes Violet and Sprite were back in Leon's room. Jolt was still playing Action Kingdom. His eyes looked glazed. "Almost there," Jolt said.

薇奥莉特和雪碧回到了里昂的房间。 当时Jolt还在玩《Action Kingdom》。 他的眼睛呆滞。“快到了。”Jolt说。

Violet looked at the screen. It said LEVEL 9. The picture looked like a desert. Leon was walking down a sandy trail. "Leon's still okay," Violet said. "But we have to hurry!" "This level doesn't look so bad," Sprite said. Jolt grinned. "Just wait!" He pushed some buttons on the controller, and Leon walked to a hole in the desert sand. A big snake popped up. It hissed in Leon's face. "Aaaaaaah!" Leon yelled.

维奥莱特看着屏幕。 上面写着9级。这幅画看起来像一片沙漠。 利昂沿着一条沙小道走着。 “莱昂还好，”维奥莱特说。 “但是我们得快点了！”雪碧表示：“这个级别看起来还不错。” 震动咧嘴一笑。“等等!”他按下了控制器上的几个按钮，李昂走向沙漠中的一个洞。 突然出现了一条大蛇。它在李昂的脸上嘶嘶作响。 “Aaaaaaah !”莱昂喊道。

"Whoops!" Jolt said. "I've got to get through this desert without Leon getting bitten by a snake." Then he paused the game. "So what are you guys doing?" he asked. "Do you really think you can get me to read a book?" "No," Violet lied. "I'm just going to sit here and read my book."

“哎呀!”震动说。“我必须穿过这片沙漠，不能让里昂被蛇咬伤。” 然后他暂停了比赛。“你们在干什么？”他问。 “你真的认为你能让我读一本书吗？”“不，”维奥莱特撒谎说。 “我要坐在这里看书。”

Jolt hit the PLAY button. "Fine with me. I'll just keep playing the game." Violet sat on the floor. She opened up Peter Pan. Violet began to read aloud. After a few minutes, Sprite nudged her. "It's not exciting enough," Sprite said. "Get to a good part." Violet read as quickly as she could. Jolt ignored her. He kept playing the game. Violet looked up at the screen. Now Leon was in level ten! It was a jungle filled with pits of quicksand. My plan has got to work, Violet thought. Jolt said he always loses the game at level eleven. Then what will happen to Leon?

Jolt点击PLAY按钮。“我没问题。 我会继续玩游戏。” 维奥莱特坐在地板上。她打开了彼得·潘。 维奥莱特开始大声朗读。 几分钟后，雪碧推了她一下。 “这还不够刺激，”雪碧说。 “演到精彩的部分。”维奥莱特尽可能快地读着。 乔特没理她。他继续玩这个游戏。 维奥莱特抬头看着屏幕。 现在里昂到了十级！那是一片充满流沙坑的丛林。 我的计划一定成功了，维奥莱特想。 Jolt说他总是在第11关输掉游戏。 那里昂会怎么样？

Violet read faster. She told the story of Peter Pan. How he brought Wendy, Michael, and John to Neverland. And a band of pirates caught them. The pirates were led by Captain Hook. Then she skipped to the end of the story. She looked at Jolt. The gremlin had paused the game. He was pretending to play. But he was actually listening to Violet. "It's working! It's working!" Sprite said in Violet's ear. "Keep reading!"

维奥莱特读得更快。她讲了彼得潘的故事。 他是怎样把温迪、迈克尔和约翰带到永无乡的。 一群海盗抓住了他们。 海盗们由虎克船长率领。 然后她跳到故事的结尾。 她看着焦特。小妖精暂停了游戏。 他假装在玩。 但他其实是在听维奥莱特的。 “这是工作!这是工作!”雪碧在薇奥莉特的耳边说。 “继续阅读!”

Violet nodded. She got to the part when Peter Pan and Hook had their final fight. "Suddenly, the sword fell from Hook's hand," Violet read, "'and he was at Peter's mercy.'" "You mean Captain Hook was helpless?" Sprite asked. "Yup," Violet replied. Then she closed the book. "Well, that's it." Jolt stood up. "What do you mean that's it?" he asked. "What happened to Hook?" Violet shrugged. "I don't know," she said. "That's all there is." "It can't be!" Jolt said.

紫点了点头。她演到了彼得·潘和虎克最后一战的部分。 “突然，那把剑从胡克的手中掉了下来，”维奥莱特念道，“他被彼得摆布了。“你是说胡克船长无能为力？”雪碧问道。 “是的，”维奥莱特回答。然后她合上书。 “好吧，就是这样。”杰特站了起来。 “这是什么意思？”他问。 “胡克怎么了？”紫耸耸肩。 “我不知道，”她说。“这就是全部。” “不可能！”震动说。
