11 Seaweed Saves the Day Everyone sat down to eat in the lighthouse. The table was awash with seaweed of all shapes and sizes, and cakes and snacks of equally interesting proportions: some were round like fruit,some were square like blocks of cheese, some were flat like sheets of paper. Mr Hibberdee had never seen anything quite so marvellous.

海草拯救了一天大家都在灯塔里坐下来吃饭。 桌子上摆满了各种形状和大小的海藻，还有蛋糕和点心，比例也同样有趣：有的像水果一样圆，有的像奶酪块一样方，有的像纸一样平。 希伯狄先生从来没有见过这么神奇的东西。

'This surely makes up for all the lost treats,' said Nan, biting into a crispy sheet of dark green seaweed. Mr Hibberdee was over the moon. 'I can sell these!' he said, picking up each seaweed-based product. 'People will love them!' 'And no more sailing,' said Nan. 'Not until the lighthouse is working again,' he said. 'I promise.' 'Good,' said Nan. 'You were very lucky Rosa spotted the flare. 'I know, I know!' said Mr Hibberdee, chewing his second piece of seaweed cake. 'Thank you, Rosa.' Rosa knew how important it was that everyone looked after each other on the mountain.

“这当然弥补了我们失去的所有美食，”南说着，咬了一口脆脆的深绿色海藻。 希伯迪先生欣喜若狂。 “我可以卖掉这些！”他一边说，一边拿起每一件海藻制品。 “人们会喜欢的！”“也不能再航行了，”南说。 他说，直到灯塔恢复工作为止。 “我保证。“很好，”南说。 “你很幸运，罗莎发现了照明弹。 “我知道，我知道！”希伯狄先生嚼着第二块海藻蛋糕说。 “谢谢你，罗莎。”罗莎知道大家在山上互相照顾是多么重要。

'We should try and fix the light while we're here,' she said. 'Wouldn't it help everyone?' A very good idea!' said Nan. 'Do you know what's wrong with it, Oki?' The sea otter shrugged. 'The wiring's shot through,' he said. 'But I'm useless at electrics, especially with these paws!' 'We should have a look,' said Nan. 'Rosa's been learning a little bit of wiring. When they'd finished eating they marched to the top of the lighthouse, and Oki opened a rusty panel next to the giant bulb. A few grumpy moths flittered out. lfllac. Something little-and likely furry-had made a wonderful multi-coloured meal of the many wires running from the generator to the

“我们在这儿的时候应该把灯修好，”她说。 “这不是对大家都有好处吗？”好主意！南说。 “你知道它有什么问题吗，奥基？”海獭耸耸肩。 他说：“电线穿了。” “但是我不擅长电，尤其是用这些爪子！”“我们应该去看看，”南说。 “罗莎正在学习一些布线技术。 吃完后，他们走到灯塔的顶端，奥基打开了巨大灯泡旁边一个生锈的面板。 几只脾气暴躁的飞蛾飞了出来。 有什么小东西——很可能是毛——把从发电机到发电机的许多电线做成了一顿五彩缤纷的大餐

gigantic lightbulb. 'Ouch!' said Rosa. 'Yes,' said Nan. 'That will be the problem all right! Those wires'll need replacing. But with what?' They searched the lighthouse from top to bottom, but found nothing of any use hidden in the rooms. Nan resorted to searching through her backpack, but with little luck. Mr Hibberdee tipped the contents of his emergency bag on to a table, and found that he was prepared for pretty much any eventuality.Nan pushed aside the socks, matches, mint sweets and sunglasses, and picked up a large torch. 'I think this could be just what we're looking for!' she said. She unscrewed the battery lid and broke

巨大的灯泡。“哎哟!”罗莎说。 “是的，”南说。“这就是问题所在！”那些电线需要更换了。 但是用什么呢？”他们把灯塔搜了个底朝天，但在房间里没有发现任何有用的东西。 南只好在背包里翻找，但运气不好。 希伯迪先生把他的应急包里的东西倒在桌子上，发现他几乎为任何可能发生的事情都做好了准备。南推开袜子、火柴、薄荷糖和太阳镜，拿起一个大火把。 “我想这可能就是我们要找的东西！”她说。 她拧开电池盖，结果坏了
