71 The Resistance

71 The Resistance As they flew down into the valley on their jet- propelled scooters, they had a fantastic view of the entire scene. Forming a massive circle that stretched across the entire width of the North Draw were hundreds of large, spiky interlocked crosses embedded in the snow. They looked just like the Second World War anti-tank obstacles that Peanut had seen on a Melody High school trip to the beaches of Normandy, except that these were all either bright pink or bright blue. "Czech hedgehogs', they were called. Peanut remembered the name because you would expect such a creature to be cute and friendly. These things, however, did not look cute and they certainly didn't look friendly. They

71 抵抗组织 他们骑着喷气滑板冲下山谷，整片区域的绝妙景色一览无余。 数百个嵌在雪地里、带尖刺的互锁十字架，围成了一个横跨北谷整个宽度的巨大圆圈。 它们看起来就和花生在美乐高中去诺曼底海滩旅行时见过的二战反坦克障碍物一模一样，只不过这些全都是亮粉色或是亮蓝色。 “它们叫‘捷克刺猬’。 花生记住了这个名字，因为你本来会觉得这种名字的东西肯定可爱又友好。 可眼前这些东西，一点都不可爱，更完全谈不上友好。 它们

could stop even the biggest tank, even one as huge as the Big X. The Resistance meant business! But that wasn't all. Within the enormous circle of pink and blue Czech hedgehogs was a huge, dome-like structure. They didn't notice it at first, but as they got closer, Peanut could see that it was made entirely of a very close netting, drawn in blue coloured pencil. Standing just inside the netting were lots of people. And one huge alligator. "JONATHAN HIGGINBOTTOM!" shouted Little-mt.

连最大的坦克都拦得住，哪怕是像大X那样的巨型坦克也不在话下。抵抗组织是动真格的！ 但这还不是全部。 在这个由粉蓝捷克刺猬围成的巨大圆圈中央，有一个巨型穹顶状建筑。 一开始他们没注意到它，可越靠近，花生越看清它完全由细密的网子构成，网子被涂成了蓝色。 好多人就站在网子内侧。 还有一只巨大的鳄鱼。 “乔纳森·希金斯博顿！”小Mt喊道。

Three more flying fish swooped at Peanut. As she jerked out of the way, the scooter veered off sharply to the left and almost flipped over. "THAT WAS A CLOSE ONE!" she yelled. "LOOK! TO THE RIGHT!" shouted Mr M. "IT'S MILLICENT!" Sure enough, Peanut could see Mrs M beckoning them towards a small opening in the netting. Mr M. Little-Bit and

又有三只飞鱼朝着花生猛扑过来。 她猛地急转躲开，滑板车猛地向左急拐，差点整个翻过去。 “刚才好险啊！” 她大声喊道。 “看！ “在右边！” M先生大喊：“是米利森特！” 果然，花生看到M太太正招呼他们往网子上的一个小开口走。 M先生、小比特和

Doodle immediately headed towards it. Peanut followed, fifty metres behind, with about a hundred Exocetia on her tail. She watched the other scooter fly through the entrance. "ROCKWELL!" she shouted. "I THINK WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT!"

杜德立刻朝着开口驶去。 花生跟在后面，相隔五十米，身后跟着一百来个艾克索塞提亚追兵。 她看着另一辆滑板车冲进了入口。 “罗克韦尔！” 她大喊道。 “我觉得我们肯定能冲进去！”
