3 Bruno’s Big Back

Chapter 3 Bruno's Big Back "What now?" Ivan asked. The plan was already falling apart. He felt nervous. Sure, when things had gone wrong in the past, they'd managed to think fast and avoid danger. But there was a lot more pressure now, with so many kids trapped in 13th Street and no one to help them. "Should we swim?" Dante asked. Mickey shook his head. "Living people have to be ferried across. Nothing else works. Not even my cape. It lets me teleport anywhere I want. But not here. That's why I was with the chaneks in the skull ship when you found me in the sewer. The idea was to sail to the last block and cross the Lake to rescue the kids." "Oops," Susana said, raising an eyebrow. "I guess the Tremendous Trio here ruined that plan, huh?"

第三章 布鲁诺的宽阔后背 “接下来怎么办？” 伊万问道。 计划已经开始崩盘了。 他心里慌慌的。 没错，以前出状况的时候，他们总能快速想到办法，躲开危险。 可现在压力大太多了：那么多孩子困在第十三街，根本没人能帮他们。 “我们游过去好不好？” 但丁问。 米奇摇了摇头。 “活人得被驮着才能过这片水。 别的办法都没用。 连我的披风也不行。 平时它能让我想去哪儿就瞬间传送到哪儿。 但在这里不行。 所以你们在下水道找到我的时候，我才会和查内克们一起在骷髅船里。 本来的计划是坐船到最后一个街区，渡过湖去救孩子们。” “哟，”苏珊娜挑了挑眉说。 “看来咱们这个‘超强三人组’把你的计划搞砸了，是吧？”

"Dude," Dante replied. "We were trying to reunite

“兄弟，”但丁答道。 “我们本来是想帮

Mickey with Bruno and bring him back to his parents." Ivan snapped his fingers excitedly. An idea had popped into his head, something he'd read in one of the books in their school library. "Bruno," he said. "Perfect! The Aztecs believed that people crossed over water into the Underworld on the backs of dogs." Mickey's eyes widened. "Dante, do you still have his squeaky toy?" Dante unzipped the front pocket of his backpack and pulled out the rubber rabbit. "Want me to call

米奇找到布鲁诺，把他送回父母身边啊。” 伊万兴奋地打了个响指。 他脑子里冒出了个主意，是之前在学校图书馆的一本书里看到的内容。 “布鲁诺，”他说。 “太合适了！ 阿兹特克人相信，人可以趴在狗背上，渡过水域进入冥界。” 米奇的眼睛一下子睁大了。 “但丁，你还带着他的发声玩具吗？” 但丁拉开背包前侧的口袋，掏出了那只橡胶兔子。 “要我叫

him?" "No," Malia said, "we want you to throw it into the water. YES, OF COURSE, doofus. Squeeze it!" SQUEEEEAAAAK! WHOOOOSH! Standing before them, surrounded by a glow, was the Irish wolfhound! "Good boy!" Mickey said, hugging Bruno's neck.

他过来吗？” “傻啊你，”玛利亚说，“我们是要你把它扔到水里。 不然呢，当然是叫他啊，笨蛋。 捏它！” 吱——呀——！ 呼——嗖——！ 站在他们面前的，就是那只爱尔兰猎狼犬，周身还裹着一层光！ “好孩子！” 米奇一边说，一边抱住了布鲁诺的脖子。

"Can you take us to that island?" Bruno answered with a bark. Susana narrowed her eyes. "Um, guys? He's big, but the five of us aren't going to fit on his back." As if to answer her, Bruno started shaking himself. To their surprise, HE GOT BIGGER AND BIGGER! Pretty soon, he was the size of a small boat! He waded into the water and turned to bark at

“你能载我们去那个岛吗？” 布鲁诺吠了一声当作回答。 苏珊娜眯起了眼睛。 “呃，各位？ 他是挺大，但我们五个人不可能都挤到他背上啊。” 就像是要回答她的话似的，布鲁诺开始抖身子。 让他们大吃一惊的是，他居然变得越来越大！ 没过多久，他就和一艘小船一样大了！ 他踏进水里，转过头对着

them again. Malia laughed and nudged Susana. "You were saying? Come on, y'all!"

他们又叫了一声。 玛利亚笑了起来，轻轻推了推苏珊娜。 “你刚刚说啥来着？ 快走吧，大家伙儿！”
