4 Freeze-Ray Fowls!

Chapter 4 Freeze-Ray Fowls! As Bruno dog-paddled his way across the lake, Ivan smiled to himself. This was how you handled the unexpected. Not trusting your gut, like Dante said. No, you studied hard and memorized information. Then you used that knowledge to figure out a solution. About halfway across the lake, Mickey held his hands to his mouth and called, "Come, ko-HEN!" Dante tapped his shoulder. "Are you sending a signal to your friends?" "Yes. To a brave owl named Tunk. He taught me how to fool the queen," Mickey explained. Bruno reached the island shore, and the children got off his back. The dog stood in the shallows, whining.

第四章 冰冻射线家禽！ 布鲁诺用狗刨式游过湖面的时候，伊万暗自笑了笑。 处理突发状况就得这样。 才不是像但丁说的那样靠直觉。 才不呢，你得努力学习、把知识都记牢。 然后再用你学到的知识想出解决办法。 游到湖中间的时候，米奇双手拢在嘴边喊道：“过来，科亨！” 但丁拍了拍他的肩膀。 “你是在给你的朋友发信号吗？” “是啊。 发给一只叫屯克的勇敢猫头鹰。 是他教我怎么骗女王的。”米奇解释道。 布鲁诺游到了小岛岸边，孩子们从他背上下来。 狗狗站在浅滩里，呜呜地叫着。

"Dogs aren't allowed on the island," Mickey said. "Their job is to bring souls across. That's as far as the queen lets them come." "Ah," said Dante, nodding. "A cat person, huh?" There was a sound, like wings flapping. Ivan looked up at the Red Tower. A large bird came flying down from one of the windows, spiraling through the air. It was a screech owl, Ivan realized.

“狗狗是不许上岛的。”米奇说。 “他们的工作就是把灵魂送过湖面。 女王只允许他们走到这里。” “啊，”但丁点着头说。 “原来她是喜欢猫的人呀？” 传来一阵声响，像是翅膀扑腾的声音。 伊万抬头看向红塔。 一只大鸟从其中一扇窗户飞了下来，在空中打着旋儿。 伊万认出来了，那是一只鸣角鸮。

"Whoa," Malia muttered. "It's almost as big as you, Dante." Susana laughed. "Which isn't saying much." "Tunk! Old friend!" Mickey called, waving at the owl as it landed near them. "It is good to see you, Lord Micqui," Tunk answered, his voice deep. "Though it was unwise to return." "I had to. For the children," Mickey replied. "Can you get us inside?" Tunk closed his eyes and lowered his head as if in shame. "Yes."

“哇哦。”玛利亚小声惊呼。 “它差不多跟你一样大哎，但丁。 苏珊娜笑了起来。 “这也没什么了不起的呀。” “屯克！老朋友！” 米奇一边喊，一边朝落在他们附近的猫头鹰挥手。 “很高兴见到您，米奇大人。”屯克回答，他的声音很低沉。 “不过您回来实在是太不明智了。” “我必须回来。 为了这些孩子们。”米奇回答。 “你能帮我们进去吗？” 屯克闭上眼睛，低下头，好像很愧疚的样子。 “可以。”

SQUAAAAAWK! SCREEEECH! A massive flock of owls, vultures, and turkeys burst from the windows of the tower! They swooped toward the cousins! BLUE RAYS OF LIGHT SHOT FROM THEIR EYES!

嘎——！ 吱——！ 一大群猫头鹰、秃鹫和火鸡从塔楼的窗户里涌了出来！ 他们朝着表兄妹们猛扑过来！ 蓝色的光线从他们的眼睛里射了出来！

Ivan's heart started pounding. Tunk had betrayed Mickey! "RUN!" shouted Susana, heading back toward

伊万的心脏开始砰砰直跳。 屯克背叛了米奇！ “跑！”苏珊娜大喊着，朝后面的

Bruno. As the others started to follow, the fowls kept shooting blue beams. One hit Susana, turning her blue! She instantly froze in place and fell over onto the sand. Bruno barked and howled in the water, but there was nothing the dog could do. "FREEZE RAYS!" Ivan managed to yell. Then a cold sensation slammed into his back and he couldn't move anymore. Four chapters down! That's pretty cool—but not freezing!

布鲁诺跑去。 其他人也开始跟着跑，那些家禽还在不停地发射蓝色射线。 一道射线打中了苏珊娜，把她整个人都变蓝了！ 她瞬间就僵在原地，倒在了沙地上。 布鲁诺在水里又叫又吼，可他什么忙也帮不上。 “是冰冻射线！” 伊万好不容易喊出了声。 紧接着一阵刺骨的寒意撞上他的后背，他再也动不了了。 第四章结束啦！ 是不是超酷——还好没被冻住！
