Chapter 7

CHAPTER 3 Rock sees the shadow and darts away—right before a BIG CAGE SLAMS DOWN. Struthio Ostrich stands there proudly. The giant bread crumb was bait. The pigeons have fallen right into Struthio's trap. AGAIN.

第三章 洛克刚瞧见影子就嗖地窜开了——正好躲过哐当落下的大笼子。 鸵鸟斯特鲁西奥骄傲地站在那儿。 那块巨型面包屑原来是诱饵。 鸽子们正好掉进了斯特鲁西奥的陷阱。 这已经不是第一次了。

Luckily, Struthio hasn't seen Rock yet. So Rock quickly flies up to a nearby clothesline. He has never hidden in underwear before. It's not the kind of costume a MASTER OF DISGUISE usually wears. But right now Rock has no choice. tumble tumble

幸好，斯特鲁西奥还没发现洛克。 于是洛克赶紧飞到附近的晾衣绳上。 他以前可从来没躲在内裤里过。 这可不是伪装大师平时会穿的戏服。 但现在洛克别无选择。 咕噜咕噜

Struthio Ostrich jumps on top of the cage and looks in with a sneer. "STRUTHIO SMART- PIGEONS DUMB!" tumble tumble "Look on the bright side, dudes— at least we won't go hungry!" says Homey. Rock needs to rescue the others. But how is he going to get over there without being seen? "Of course!" he whispers. "I just need to blend in!"

鸵鸟斯特鲁西奥跳到笼子顶上，冷笑地朝里面看。 “斯特鲁西奥聪明——鸽子笨！” 咕噜咕噜“伙计们，往好的方面想嘛——至少咱们不会饿肚子啦！”霍米说。 洛克得把其他伙伴救出来。 可他要怎么才能不被发现地过去呢？ “有办法了！” 他小声说。 “我只要融入环境就行！”

Rock dives into a tumbleweed, SMACK! rolls across the roof... and arrives at the cage. "Psst! SQUAD!" he says in a low voice. "It's me. I've come to save you!" "Nice disguise, PIG!" says Homey. "I totally thought you were a tumbleweed. Here, have some of the giant bread crumb!" munch! munch! "Save yourself, Rock- while you still can!" says Grandpouter.

洛克一头扎进风滚草里，啪的一声！ 滚过屋顶……到了笼子边上。 “嘘！伙伴们！” 他压低声音说。 “是我。 我来救你们啦！” “伪装不错啊，小猪！”霍米说。 “我刚才真以为你是颗风滚草呢。 来，吃点这块巨型面包屑！” 咔嚓！咔嚓！ “洛克，趁你还能跑，自己快逃吧！”格朗德普特说。

"Don't tell Rock to leave!" cries Frillback. "We need him, Grandpouter." "Grandpouter Pigeon?" mumbles Struthio, who is settling down for a nap. "SWORN ENEMY!" Suddenly, Rock understands.

“别叫洛克走！”弗里尔巴克喊道。 “我们需要他，格朗德普特。” “格朗德普特鸽子？” 正准备打个盹的斯特鲁西奥含含糊糊地嘟囔。 “死对头！” 洛克一下子明白了。

"I'm not Struthio's SWORN ENEMY," whispers Rock. "Grandpouter is. You know this ostrich, don't you?" Grandpouter nods sadly. On top of the cage, Struthio is snoring. He has fallen asleep. And Grandpouter tells his story. "A long time ago, Struthio Ostrich and I were friends," he explains. "We first met by a river. I was skipping rocks across the water. Struthio Ostrich was eating them. That bird really loved his rocks."

“我不是斯特鲁西奥的死对头，”洛克小声说。 “格朗德普特才是。 你认识这只鸵鸟，对不对？” 格朗德普特难过地点点头。 笼子顶上，斯特鲁西奥正在打呼。 他睡着了。 接着格朗德普特讲起了自己的故事。 “很久以前，我和鸵鸟斯特鲁西奥是朋友，”他解释道。 我们第一次见面是在河边。 我正往水面上打水漂。 鸵鸟斯特鲁西奥在吃石头。 那家伙可太喜欢石头了。”
