On the news it said there would be lots of shooting stars that night. Nadim had come to watch in the back garden with Biff and Chip. "Shooting stars aren't real stars," Mum explained. "They're bits of rock from space that burn up as they come close to Earth."
新闻上说那天晚上会有很多流星。 纳迪姆和毕夫、奇普到后花园来看他们。 “流星不是真正的星星,”妈妈解释说。 “它们是来自太空的岩石碎片,在接近地球时燃烧起来。”
The children gazed up at the night sky. "What if we saw alien spaceships instead of shooting stars?" said Chip. "Let's hope they'd be nice, friendly aliens!" laughed Biff. ikcjeo. Nadim grinned. He loved films and books about spaceships and aliens.
孩子们仰望着夜空。 “如果我们看到的不是流星,而是外星飞船呢?”奇普说。 “希望他们是友善友好的外星人!”比夫笑着说。 Nadim咧嘴一笑。他喜欢关于宇宙飞船和外星人的电影和书籍。
"In most science fiction stories, aliens don't just come to say hello," Nadim said. "Sometimes they come to invade Earth!" Biff shivered. "I hope those aliens don't mind cold weather then," she said. "It's getting chilly. Let's go in and get our jackets."
“在大多数科幻小说中,外星人不只是来打招呼的,”纳迪姆说。 “有时候他们来入侵地球!”Biff颤抖。 “我希望那些外星人不介意寒冷的天气,”她说。 “天越来越冷了。我们进去拿外套吧。”
When they went upstairs, Nadim noticed a glow from behind Biff's door. "It's the magic key," he said. "I wonder where it's going to take us this time." "We'll soon find out!" said Biff, as the magic whisked them away.
当他们上楼时,纳迪姆注意到比夫的门后面有一道亮光。 “这是一把神奇的钥匙,”他说。 “我想知道这次我们会走向何方。” “我们很快就会知道的!”比夫说,这时魔法把他们带走了。
