15 Down the Slope at Last

Chapter 15 Down the Slope at Last "The portal's closing, dude!" Dante shouted. He and Malia had already strapped on their snowboards. Ivan nodded. "Right behind y'all!" Malia and Dante jumped through the portal onto the snowy slope. "Go," Mickey said. "I'll be fine." Ivan dove, belly flopping onto the snow. It was a cold and fast ride down the slope. Finally, he reached the bottom and shook frost from his face.

第十五章 终于滑下山坡 “传送门要关啦，伙计！” 但丁大喊道。 他和玛利亚已经系好滑雪板的固定带了。 伊万点了点头。 “我紧跟在你们后面！” 玛利亚和但丁跳过传送门，落到了积雪覆盖的山坡上。 “快走，”米奇说。 “我不会有事的。” 伊万纵身一跃，肚子先啪地拍到了雪上。 顺着山坡往下滑的路程又冷又快。 终于，他滑到了坡底，抖掉了脸上的霜雪。

Dante gingerly touched his hair, which was miraculously perfect despite their adventure. "And Mickey?" "I think our portal wouldn't work for him," Ivan explained. "To return, he has to find Bruno." The cousins stared at one another in silence until Dr. Eisenberg, Ivan's father, came trudging across the snow with mugs of hot chocolate.

但丁小心翼翼摸了摸自己的头发，经历了这场冒险，头发居然还奇迹般地保持着完美造型。 “那米奇呢？” “我觉得咱们的传送门对他没用，”伊万解释道。 “要想回来，他得先找到布鲁诺。” 几个表亲沉默地望着彼此，直到伊万的爸爸艾森伯格博士端着几杯热巧克力，踏雪朝他们走了过来。

"Ivan?" he called. "What happened to your skis?" "I got mugged, Dad," Ivan explained. "Some guy with a spear." Panicked, his father yanked out his phone and called the police.

“伊万？”他喊道。 “你的滑雪板哪去了？” “我被人抢了，爸爸，”伊万解释说。 “是个拿长矛的家伙。” 他爸爸慌了，立刻掏出手机报了警。

As he walked away, Malia groaned in frustration. "I can't believe I'm saying this," she muttered, "but we can't leave him there." Dante shook his head. "Boss, no." Ivan stood, brushing snow from his pants. "She's right, Dante. We have to go back and help."

他走开之后，玛利亚懊恼地哼了一声。 “我都不敢相信这话是我说的，”她小声嘀咕，“可我们不能把他丢在那儿。” 但丁摇了摇头。 “老大，别啊。” 伊万站了起来，拍掉裤子上的雪。 “她说得对，但丁。 我们得回去帮忙。
