15 Nopalitos, for Now

Chapter 15 Nopalitos, for Now The bus seemed to float on a stream of blue light. Dante could still see the street ahead. A bus pulled into view. It was them! In the past! After a few seconds, the bus turned onto the side street. BLOOP! It disappeared! Dante felt the bus shake a little. They were through the portal and back in Nopalitos. Dante, Ivan, and Malia hugged each other, cheering. Then they noticed that Susana and Robby had gone limp. They were asleep!

第十五章 眼下，先回诺帕利托斯 巴士仿佛漂浮在蓝光汇成的溪流上。 但丁还能看见前方的街道。 一辆巴士驶入了视野。 是他们！ 在过去的时空里！ 几秒后，巴士拐进了小巷。 啵噜！ 它消失了！ 但丁感觉到巴士轻微晃了晃。 他们穿过传送门，回到了诺帕利托斯。 但丁、伊万和玛利亚抱在一起欢呼。 接着他们发现苏珊娜和罗比浑身软乎乎的。 他们睡着了！

The bus was headed right for the fallen tree! "Robby!" shouted Malia. "Wake up!" The bus driver shook his head and opened his eyes. "What? Oh no!" He slammed on the brakes. The jolt woke Susana up. Robby rubbed his face. "Looks like we have to take a quick detour."

巴士正对着倒下的树直冲过去！ “罗比！”玛利亚大喊。 “快醒醒！” 巴士司机摇了摇头，睁开了眼睛。 “怎么了？ 哦糟了！” 他猛地踩下刹车。 颠簸把苏珊娜晃醒了。 罗比揉了揉脸。 “看来我们得赶紧绕个路了。”

He spun the steering wheel. The bus began to turn. "No!" Dante shouted. "What are you doing?" Robby entered the side street. The cousins held each other tight. Nothing happened. The bus just bumped its way along the very normal road. "What's wrong with you three?" Susana demanded.

他猛地转动方向盘。 巴士开始转向。 “不要！” 但丁大喊。 “你在做什么？” 罗比把车开进了小巷。 三个表亲紧紧抱在一起。 什么都没发生。 巴士只是在再普通不过的路面上颠簸着前行。 “你们三个怎么回事？” 苏珊娜不满地问道。

"Susana, we just escaped," Dante reminded her. "Do you really want to go back to 13th Street?" Susana blinked in confusion. "Thirteenth Street? Where's that?" The cousins looked at each other. Ivan pulled the other two toward the back of the bus. "They don't remember anything," he whispered. Dante blinked. "Then how come we do?"

“苏珊娜，我们刚逃出来啊，”但丁提醒她。 “你难道真的想回第十三街吗？” 苏珊娜困惑地眨了眨眼。 “第十三街？ 那是哪里啊？” 三个表亲面面相觑。 伊万拉着另外两个人往巴士后面走。 “他们什么都不记得了，”他小声说。 但丁眨了眨眼。 “那为什么我们还记得？”

Malia put her hands on their shoulders. "Who knows and who cares? We're free!" Dante looked out the window at the colorful houses of his town. "For now, at least." you finish the book! What a brave reader you are!

玛利亚把手放在他们俩的肩膀上。 “谁知道呢，谁又在乎呀？ 我们自由了！” 但丁望着窗外，看着小镇上色彩缤纷的房子。 “至少眼下是自由的。” 你读完这本书啦！ 你真是个勇敢的小读者！
