Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2 The pigeons land in the sewer under the city. Rock passes Trent to Frillback and lights the match. "I don't want Trent accidentally catching fire!" "I've got you, Trent!" The ground is sticky. It is EERILY quiet. The walls are covered in slime. "Slime is the sweat of the city!" "I'm more worried about rats." But there is no water to be seen.

第二章 鸽子们降落在城市下方的下水道里。 洛克把特伦特交给卷背鸽，然后划燃了火柴。 “我可不想特伦特不小心被烧着！” “我抱着你呢，特伦特！” 地面黏糊糊的。 周围安静得诡异极了。 墙壁上全是黏糊糊的污泥。 “污泥就是城市流的汗呀！” “我更担心会有老鼠。” 可是放眼望去，半点儿水都看不见。

"Stay close, squad," says Rock as they walk along the sewer. "I won't let anyone end the REAL PIGEONS." "How will you protect us ALL, Rock?" But then a worm floats by. "Is that a... GHOST WORM?" cries Homey. The pigeons scream "AAHHHH HH!"

“大伙跟紧点，小队成员们。”洛克边沿着下水道走边说。 “我绝不会让任何人伤害真正鸽子小队的。” “洛克，你要怎么保护我们所有人呀？” 可就在这时，一只虫子漂了过去。 “那是……幽灵虫吗？”霍米大叫起来。 鸽子们都尖叫起来：“啊啊啊啊啊！”

Whenever pigeons get scared, their PIGEON INSTINCT is to fly upward. Toward the sky. But there is no sky underground. BUMP! "Ooof!" At that moment, something magically appears around the worm. It's a... FROG! "I must have hit my head harder than I thought!"

鸽子一害怕，飞行本能就会驱使它们往高处飞。 往天空的方向飞。 可是地底下根本没有天空。 咚！ “哎哟！” 就在这时，那只虫子周围忽然神奇地冒出了个东西。 是一只……青蛙！ “我肯定是刚才脑袋撞得太狠，都出现幻觉了！”

The frog eats the worm. SLURP! "We thought that worm was a ghost!" says Rock. "You sweet, silly birds!" The frog smiles. "There's no such thing as ghosts." "Of course not!" "But I can turn myself INVISIBLE!" the frog adds. "Wait, what?"

青蛙一口吃掉了虫子。 吸溜！ “我们刚才还以为那只虫子是幽灵呢！”洛克说。 “你们这群可爱的小傻鸟！” 青蛙笑了笑。 “这世界上根本没有幽灵哦。” “那当然啦！” “不过我能把自己变隐形哦！” 青蛙补充道。 “等等，你说啥？”

"I am a Gray Tree Frog." He grins. "I can blend into backgrounds. Watch this!" "I'm on." "I'm off." "I'm on." "I'm off." "That's why my name is InvisiFrog," he cries. "And you are beautiful birds! You really make the color gray work for you." "He's invisible AND charming!" The pigeons blush. "Are you movie stars? Or models?"

“我是一只灰树蛙。” 他咧嘴笑了笑。 “我能融进周围的环境里哦。 看好啦！” “我出现啦。” “我消失啦。” “我出现啦。” “我消失啦。” “所以我的名字叫隐形蛙！”他大声说道。 “你们都是漂亮的小鸟呀！ 灰色和你们可太配了。” “他居然会隐形，还这么会说话！” 鸽子们都羞红了脸。 “你们是电影明星吗？ 还是模特呀？”

"We are the REAL PIGEONS," says Rock. "We're crime-fighters, investigating the city's MISSING WATER." "Get out!" cries InvisiFrog. "I'm a crime- fighter too! Jump onto my lily pad and we'll go meet my squad." The pigeons and InvisiFrog surf through the slimy sewer.

“我们是真正鸽子小队，”洛克说。 “我们是打击犯罪的战士，正在调查城市失踪的水源。” “不会吧！” 隐形蛙叫了起来。 “我也是打击犯罪的战士呀！ 跳到我的睡莲叶上来，我带你们去见我的小队。” 鸽子们和隐形蛙就踩着睡莲叶，在黏糊糊的下水道里穿行起来。
