10 A Salty Scheme

Chapter 10 A Salty Scheme "One catch I see," Peki said as the frogs glided away. "It's Shiver territory. Water's deep and dark. Lots of glowing sharks." "Electricity is a problem," Ivan agreed. "If it jumps into us, we're toast." Malia swallowed hard. "And no more pikos should suffer. It's not fair." "Electricity," Dante said, trying to remember. "Ms. Garay was just talking about it at the aquarium. What conducts a charge in the water is uh " "Ions!" said Ivan. "From salts! Dante, you're a genius." "Slow down," Malia said. "Explain." Dante said, "Look, if there's just a little bit of salt

第十章 咸咸的妙计 青蛙们游走时，佩奇说：“我发现一个难题哦。” “那是颤鲨族的地盘。” “海水又深又暗。” “到处都是发光的鲨鱼。” “电流是个大麻烦，”伊万附和道。 “要是电窜到我们身上，我们直接就熟啦。” 玛利亚使劲咽了咽口水。 “不能再有皮克族小伙伴受苦了。 这太不公平了。” “电流，”丹特念叨着，努力回忆相关的知识。 “加雷女士之前在水族馆刚讲过这个。 在水里能传电的是……呃……” “是离子！”伊万喊道。 “来自盐里的离子！ 丹特，你可真是个天才。” “慢点说，”玛利亚开口道。 “解释清楚呀。” 丹特说：“你想啊，如果水里只有一点点盐的话

in the water, electricity will jump into bodies. But if there's A LOT OF SALT—" "The ions follow that easier path," Ivan finished. Malia nodded. "So if we made the water REALLY SALTY, the Shiver couldn't hurt us." Peki clapped its hands excitedly. "And all pikos could stay and fight. Let the Shiver feel our might!" Ivan petted Bruno for a moment, thinking. "This could work. But where could we get salt?" "Listen to this," Peki said. "A plan with some risk." "Risky is my middle name," said Dante, trying to sound brave. Ivan winked at Malia before shouting, ".Uy, cucuy!" Dante jumped a foot into the air, shrieking in fear. When he noticed his cousins laughing, he shook his

电流就会窜到人的身体里。 可要是水里有好多好多盐的话——” “离子会走更容易的通路，”伊万接话道。 玛利亚点了点头。 “所以……要是我们把水变得特别特别咸，颤鲨族就伤不到我们了。” 佩奇兴奋地拍起了手。 “那所有皮克族人都能留下来战斗啦。 让颤鲨族尝尝我们的厉害！” 伊万摸了会儿布鲁诺，认真思索着。 “这办法说不定真能成。 可我们上哪儿去找盐呢？” “听我说哦，”佩奇开口道。 “这个计划有点小风险。” “冒险可是我的 middle name（老本行），”丹特说道，努力装出很勇敢的样子。 伊万冲玛利亚挤了挤眼，接着大喊：“呀，怪物来啦！” 丹特吓得蹦起一尺高，尖声叫了出来。 等发现表哥表姐都在笑他，他摇了摇
