007 名录

旁白 neutral

Zann let out a yell, and Zing let out a blast of flame before they both realized who had just burst into the cave

赞恩大叫一声，辛格喷出一股火焰，然后他们才认出冲进洞里的是谁。

旁白 neutral

" Perda!" Zann exclaimed." You shouldn't sneak up on people like that!"

“佩达！”赞恩喊道。“你不应该这样偷偷靠近别人！”

旁白 neutral

She smirked, quickly rubbing her fingers together and touching her arm to repair the spot where Zing had just singed her

她得意地笑了笑，迅速搓了搓手指，再碰了碰手臂，修复了刚才被辛格烧焦的地方。

旁白 neutral

" If you didn't want me in here, you should have used a Shield spell," she said

“如果你不想让我进来，就该用个护盾咒语。”她说。

旁白 neutral

" What's the point?" Zann said." You know all my passwords. You'd get past a Shield spell too."

“有什么用呢？”赞恩说。“我所有的密码你都知道。护盾咒语也拦不住你。”

旁白 neutral

" True." Perda's smile faded quickly, and her eyes filled with worry

“说得也是。”佩达的笑容很快消失了，眼中充满了忧虑。

旁白 neutral

" But listen, I'm glad I found you. Did you know your house — "

“不过，听我说，真高兴找到你了。你知道你家——”

旁白 neutral

" Just blew up?" Zann finished grimly." Yes. Zing and I barely got away."

“刚刚爆炸了？”赞恩沉着脸接过话。“是的。我和辛格好不容易才逃出来。”

旁白 neutral

" What about Boz?" Perda asked anxiously

“那博兹呢？”佩达焦急地问。

旁白 neutral

" I don't think he was there," Zann said." Here's what happened..."

“他应该不在那里。”赞恩说。“事情是这样的……”

旁白 neutral

He told her the same story he'd just told Darb

他把刚讲给达布的故事又给她说了一遍。

旁白 neutral

Perda listened quietly." Wow," she said when Zann had finished." And you didn't recognize the guy?"

佩达静静地听着。赞恩说完后，她说：“哇。你不认识那个人吗？”

旁白 neutral

" I've never seen him before in my life," Zann replied

“我这辈子从没见过他。”赞恩回答。

旁白 neutral

" Did you check the Directory?"

“你查过名录了吗？”

旁白 neutral

Zann blinked. Why hadn't he thought of that?

赞恩眨了眨眼。他怎么就没想到呢？

旁白 neutral

" Um, not yet," he said, shooting a sheepish glance toward Darb

“呃，还没呢。”他不好意思地瞥了达布一眼。

旁白 neutral

" We, uh, were just about to do that."

“我们，嗯，正要去查呢。”

旁白 neutral

" Here, I'll pull it up." Perda snapped her fingers

“我来调出来。”佩达打了个响指。

旁白 neutral

A book-like image appeared in midair, floating at eye level." Identification needed," Zann said." Adult male."

一本形如书的影像凭空出现，悬浮在与眼睛齐平的高度。“需要识别身份，”赞恩说，“成年男性。”

旁白 neutral

Instantly the book disappeared, replaced by a long list of names

书瞬间消失，取而代之的是一长串名单。

旁白 neutral

The names were in tiny print, since they represented every adult male in Magica

名字印得很小，因为它们代表了马吉卡所有成年男性。

旁白 neutral

A picture floated beside each name, though the images were far too minuscule to be seen clearly

每个名字旁边都浮动着一张图片，不过这些图片小得根本看不清楚。

旁白 neutral

For a second Zann was tempted to check the list and see if his father was listed, or Boz

赞恩一瞬间想查查名录，看看他父亲或博兹是否在其中。

旁白 neutral

But he resisted the temptation. He had checked his father's listing before

但他忍住了诱惑。他以前查过父亲的名录。

旁白 neutral

It was still there, but with a special notation at the top: " Missing, presumed deceased or permanently off-world."

名录还在，但上面有一条特殊标记：“失踪，推定已死亡或永久离开本世界。”

旁白 neutral

As for Boz, it was too soon for his Directory status to have changed, no matter what had happened

至于博兹，无论发生了什么，现在名录状态发生改变都还太早。

旁白 neutral

" Well?" Perda said, sounding impatient." Is there anything else you can remember about this guy?

“怎么样？”佩达不耐烦地说。“关于这家伙，你还记得别的什么吗？

旁白 neutral

You need to narrow the search down a little."

你得把搜索范围再缩小一点。”

旁白 neutral

" I know, I'm just thinking." Zann tried to remember what the stranger had looked like

“我知道，我正在想。”赞恩努力回忆那个陌生人的样子。

旁白 neutral

" Uh, taller than average. Thinner than average. Between thirty and fifty years old."

“呃，比平均身高高，比平均体形瘦。年龄在三十到五十岁之间。”

旁白 neutral

He watched as the list rearranged itself, the names getting bigger as their numbers became fewer." Pale skin. Long, thinning dark hair."

他看着名单重新排列，名字随着数量减少而变大。"皮肤苍白，深色长发，日渐稀疏。"

旁白 neutral

" What color were his eyes?" Perda prompted

"他的眼睛是什么颜色？"佩达提示道。

旁白 neutral

" I'm trying to remember. I wasn't exactly gazing into his eyes at the time, you know," Zann said

"我正在努力回忆。你知道，我当时可没盯着他的眼睛看。"赞恩说。

旁白 neutral

" Here, I'll help." Perda held out both her hands

"来，我帮你。"佩达伸出双手。

旁白 neutral

" Help with what?" Zann understood that she was offering to combine her magic with his

"帮什么？"赞恩明白她是想把自己的魔法和他的结合起来。

旁白 neutral

Anyone could do that to make a spell stronger

任何人都可以这样做来增强咒语的力量。

旁白 neutral

What he didn't understand was what spell she thought they should do

他不明白的是她认为他们该施展什么咒语。

旁白 neutral

Perda sighed." Don't you ever pay attention in Mental Magic class?

佩达叹了口气。"你在心灵魔法课上难道从来不听讲吗？

旁白 neutral

We just covered Enhanced Short-term Memory spells last month!"

上个月我们刚学了增强短期记忆咒语！"

旁白 neutral

" Oh, right." Zann lifted his own hands and rubbed his palms against hers

"哦，对。"赞恩抬起双手，用自己的手掌摩擦着她的手掌。

旁白 neutral

Sparks began to crackle between them." Recall," he murmured, trying to focus on the memory of the man's face

他们之间开始迸发出火花。“回忆，”他低声说，努力集中精神回想那人的面孔。

旁白 neutral

Just like that the image popped into his head

就在这时，那副画面突然出现在他脑海中。

旁白 neutral

It was as clear as if the stranger were standing right in front of him

清晰得就好像那个陌生人就站在他面前一样。

旁白 neutral

Zann shuddered, quickly dropping his hands from Perda's

赞恩打了个寒颤，迅速把手从佩达的手中抽了回来。

旁白 neutral

" Amber eyes," he said." Small, mean-looking amber eyes, to be precise. Narrow face with sunken cheeks."

“琥珀色的眼睛，”他说，“准确地说，是那双又小又凶狠的琥珀色眼睛。脸型很窄，脸颊深陷。”

旁白 neutral

He went on, adding as many details as he could

他继续补充，尽可能多地增加细节。

旁白 neutral

With each one the list of names grew shorter

每补充一个细节，名单就随之缩短一些。

旁白 neutral

Soon there were only a few names left on the floating screen

很快，悬浮的屏幕上就只剩下几个名字了。

旁白 neutral

By now both names and images were large enough to see easily

现在，名字和图像都大得足以轻松看清了。

旁白 neutral

" Do you recognize any of the pictures?" Darb asked, peering at the Directory

“这些照片里有你认识的吗？”达布盯着名录问道。

旁白 neutral

" I'm not sure..." Zann scanned the entries

“我不太确定……”赞恩扫视着条目。

旁白 neutral

" Wait! There he is — that's him!" Zann pointed at one of the images

“等等！他在那儿——就是他！”赞恩指着其中一幅图像说。

旁白 neutral

Instantly all the other entries dropped away." Full entry, please."

瞬间，所有其他条目都消失了。“请显示完整条目。”

旁白 neutral

More words appeared beneath the name and picture

在名字和图片下方，出现了更多文字。

旁白 neutral

"'Name: Morb,'" Perda read."'Home: Dragon's Peak, Mount Mystery. Current Occupation: Unknown.'"

“‘姓名：莫布，’”佩达念道。“‘居住地：神秘山，龙之峰。当前职业：未知。’”

旁白 neutral

" Dragon's Peak?" Zann said." Isn't that the village that's always having trouble with trolls?"

“龙之峰？”赞恩说。“那不是那个老是跟巨魔闹矛盾的村子吗？”

旁白 neutral

" Wait, this can't be the right person after all," Darb spoke up

“等等，这人恐怕还是不对，”达布开口说道。

旁白 neutral

" Look — he's a Void." He pointed to another part of the entry

“看——他是个虚空者。”他指着条目的另一处。

旁白 neutral

" A Void?" Zann echoed." But that doesn't make sense

“虚空者？”赞恩重复道。“但那说不通啊。

旁白 neutral

This is definitely the guy that was at my house

这绝对就是在我家出现的那个人。

旁白 neutral

Yet there's no way a Void could do what he did! The entry must be wrong."

但虚空者不可能做到他所做的事！这个条目肯定错了。”

旁白 neutral

Perda moved her hand, causing the Directory to scroll down

佩达移动手掌，让名录向下滚动。

旁白 neutral

" It can't be wrong," she said." There are lots of mentions of him being a Void

“不可能错的，”她说。“这里好多处都提到他是虚空者。

旁白 neutral

See? It even says he used to work as an animal caretaker. That's a Void job."

看到了吗？这甚至说他曾做过动物看守员。那可是虚空者的活儿。”

旁白 neutral

Zann glanced at the entry." Wait, go back," he said

赞恩瞥了一眼条目。“等等，往回翻，”他说。

旁白 neutral

" Check it out. This Morb guy used to work at my parents' research laboratory at the university!"

“看看这个。这个叫莫布的人，以前在我父母大学的实验室工作过！”

旁白 neutral

" Really? Then maybe Morb isn't connected to the royal warning at all," Perda suggested

“真的吗？那可能莫布跟王室警告完全没关联，”佩达猜测道。

旁白 neutral

" He might have been looking for your parents or something."

“他也许是来找你父母，或者别的什么事。”

旁白 neutral

" But he said he knew where Boz was

“但他说他知道博兹在哪儿。

旁白 neutral

And why would he try to use the Flash Freeze on me? That doesn't make any sense."

那他为什么要对我用‘急速冰冻’？这根本说不通。”

旁白 neutral

" Zann's right. This has to be connected to the disappearances of Reds somehow," Darb said

“赞恩说得对。这肯定跟红魔失踪案有某种关联，”达布说。

旁白 neutral

" I guess you're right." Perda gasped." Gliss!"

“我想你们是对的。”佩达倒吸一口气。“格莉丝！”

旁白 neutral

" Huh?" Zann said

“嗯？”赞恩说道。

旁白 neutral

" She's a Red, and so are both her parents," Perda said

“她是个红魔，而且她的父母也都是红魔，”佩达说。

旁白 neutral

" If Morb is after Reds, he'll probably try to get them too. We have to warn her!"

“如果莫布在追捕红魔，他很可能也会对他们下手。我们必须警告她！”
