009 恶势力追击

旁白 neutral

" Who are you?" Gliss' mother screamed at Morb

“你是谁？” 格力斯的妈妈对莫布尖叫道。

旁白 neutral

" How did you get past our Shield?"

“你是怎么穿过我们防护罩的？”

旁白 neutral

" It's him!" Zann shouted." The man we were telling you about!"

“就是他！” 赞喊道，“我们跟你们说过的那个男人！”

旁白 neutral

Morb ignored him." Freeze," he intoned, pointing at Gliss' parents

莫布没理他。“定住。” 他吟诵道，指向了格力斯的父母。

旁白 neutral

Instantly her parents froze in place. Her mother's eyes were wide and frightened

瞬间，她的父母僵在原地。她母亲的眼睛睁得大大的，充满了恐惧。

旁白 neutral

Her father's mouth was open in the middle of a shout

她父亲正张着嘴，喊声卡在喉咙里。

旁白 neutral

" Mom! Dad!" Gliss shrieked

“妈妈！爸爸！” 格力斯尖叫道。

旁白 neutral

Morb made a beckoning motion. A second later two large, hideous trolls appeared!

莫布做了个召唤的手势。下一秒，两个巨大丑陋的巨魔出现了！

旁白 neutral

" Take them to the dungeon," Morb ordered the trolls

“把他们带到地牢去。” 莫布命令巨魔。

旁白 neutral

Another quick flash and the trolls disappeared — along with Gliss' parents

又是一道快速的闪光，巨魔消失了——连同格力斯的父母。

旁白 neutral

" No!" Gliss screamed

“不！”格丽斯尖叫道。

旁白 neutral

" We have to get out of here!" Zann shouted. He rubbed his hands together

“我们必须离开这儿！”赞喊道。他搓了搓双手。

旁白 neutral

Perda was already doing the same. But not Gliss. She just stood there

珀达已经在做同样的事了。但格丽斯没有。她只是站在那里。

旁白 neutral

" She's in shock," Zann said." Even if we get away..."

“她受惊了，”赞说。“即使我们逃走了……”

旁白 neutral

There was no time to say more. Morb had turned toward them

没时间多说了。莫布已经转向了他们。

旁白 neutral

He glanced at Perda with disinterest. But when he saw Gliss, he smirked

他漠不关心地瞥了珀达一眼。但当他看到格丽斯时，他得意地笑了。

旁白 neutral

" Another Red," he said, raising his hand

“又一个红魔，”他抬起手说道。

旁白 neutral

" No!" Darb cried. He reached into his pocket and flung a handful of panic bugs into Morb's face

“不！”达布喊道。他把手伸进口袋，朝莫布的脸上扔了一把恐慌虫。

旁白 neutral

" Ugh!" Morb exclaimed as the little insects panicked, releasing their foul-smelling odor

“呃！”莫布叫道，这些小虫子惊慌失措，释放出难闻的气味。

旁白 neutral

" Get away from me, you repulsive creatures!"

“离我远点，你们这些恶心的东西！”

旁白 neutral

It only took Morb a few seconds to blast the bugs to smithereens. But that was enough time

莫布只用了几秒钟就把那些虫子炸成了碎片。但这点时间足够了。

旁白 neutral

" Get her!" Zann shouted at Perda

"抓住她！" 赞朝珀达大喊。

旁白 neutral

Perda grabbed Gliss. Zap! They both disappeared

珀达抓住了格丽斯。唰！两人都不见了。

旁白 neutral

Zann dived for Darb. His hand closed on his friend's arm just as Morb spun toward them

赞扑向达布。就在莫布转身朝向他们的瞬间，他的手抓住了朋友的胳膊。

旁白 neutral

The man's eyes narrowed." Don't you dare!" he exclaimed

那男人眯起眼睛。"你敢！" 他喊道。

旁白 neutral

" This time you're not getting away from — "

"这次你逃不掉了——"

旁白 neutral

Zap!

唰！

旁白 neutral

Splash!

噗通！

旁白 neutral

" Drat!" Zann cried." How come I always land in the swamp?"

"真倒霉！" 赞叫道。"我怎么老是掉进沼泽里？"

旁白 neutral

" Forget that," Darb said breathlessly." At least you got us out of there!"

"别管那个了，" 达布喘着气说。"至少你把我们都救出来了！"

旁白 neutral

Zann nodded." Good thinking using those panic bugs. You probably saved us all."

赞点点头。“用恐慌虫是个好主意。你很可能救了我们所有人。”

旁白 neutral

" Thanks." Darb looked sad." I wish he hadn't blasted them though."

“谢谢。”达布看起来很伤心。“但我希望他没有把它们炸飞。”

旁白 neutral

Zann wasn't going to waste time mourning a bunch of smelly insects

赞不打算浪费时间哀悼一堆臭烘烘的虫子。

旁白 neutral

" We'd better find the girls." He waved a hand to summon a spy fly

“我们最好找到女孩们。”他一挥手，召唤出一只侦察蝇。

旁白 neutral

Suddenly Morb materialized in front of them." Stop right there!" he exclaimed

突然，莫布在他们面前显形。“站住！”他喊道。

旁白 neutral

" What?" Zann cried, startled." How did you — "

“什么？”赞吓了一跳，大叫道。“你怎么——”

旁白 neutral

He didn't bother to finish. Grabbing Darb, he zapped them away again

他没把话说完。抓住达布，他再次用魔法把他们传送走了。

旁白 neutral

This time he aimed for the cave where Zing was waiting

这一次，他瞄准了辛格正在等待的那个洞穴。

旁白 neutral

" Whew!" he said when they landed." That was close. How in the world did he — "

“呼！”他们落地时他说。“好险。他到底是怎么——”

旁白 neutral

Again Morb appeared." Give up, Red! You can't escape!"

莫布再次出现。“放弃吧，红魔！你逃不掉的！”

旁白 neutral

Zann instantly grabbed both Darb and Zing

泽恩瞬间抓住了达布和辛。

旁白 neutral

This time he didn't have time to think of a destination

这次，他来不及想目的地。

旁白 neutral

" Ouch!" Darb exclaimed as they landed on a craggy boulder

他们跌落在嶙峋的巨石上，达布疼得直叫：“哎呦！”

旁白 neutral

" How's Morb doing this?" Zann cried." He can't follow us through a Zap unless we leave him a trail!"

泽恩大喊：“莫布是怎么做到的？除非我们留下痕迹，他不可能跟着瞬移！”

旁白 neutral

Darb didn't answer. He just grabbed Zann as Morb appeared again

达布没有回答。莫布再次出现时，他只是抓住了泽恩。

旁白 neutral

Morb cackled." I told you, it's no use trying to escape. My magic is far superior to — "

莫布咯咯怪笑：“早就说过，逃跑是没用的。我的法力远胜于——”

旁白 neutral

Zap!

唰！

旁白 neutral

Darb yanked on Zann's arm as they landed near a stream where they'd often fished for moon minnows." Come with me," he urged

达布拽住泽恩的胳膊，他们跌落在一条熟悉的小溪边，小时候常去那里钓月鱼。“跟我来。”他催促道。

旁白 neutral

" What?" Zann was rubbing his hands, preparing to zap again

“什么？”泽恩正揉搓着双手，准备再次瞬移。

旁白 neutral

He hoped his magical energy held out until he could figure out what to do

他希望能撑住法力，直到想出办法。

旁白 neutral

" Come on!" Darb took off running, with Zing flying behind him

“快走！”达布拔腿就跑，辛飞在他身后。

旁白 neutral

" Darb! Wait!" Zann chased after them

“达布！等等！”赞追赶着他们。

旁白 neutral

" You'll never escape that guy without magic!"

“没有魔法，你们永远甩不掉那个家伙！”

旁白 neutral

Darb didn't answer. He dove into a thick clump of bushes

达布没有回答，一头扎进一丛茂密的灌木里。

旁白 neutral

Zann followed." What are you doing?"

赞跟了上去。“你在干什么？”

旁白 neutral

" Hush!" Darb crawled forward, peering out from among the dense branches

“嘘！”达布向前爬去，从浓密的枝叶间向外窥视。

旁白 neutral

Morb soon appeared in the spot where the boys had landed

莫布很快出现在男孩们刚才落下的地方。

旁白 neutral

" This game is becoming tiresome." He glanced around

“这场追逐越来越乏味了。”他环顾四周。

旁白 neutral

" You might as well give up. Trust me, you do not want to anger me further."

“你们还是放弃吧。相信我，你们不会想让我更生气的。”

旁白 neutral

" Quick, let's zap away again before he — " Zann hissed

“快，趁他还没——”赞低声催促道，“再瞬移一次！”

旁白 neutral

" No!" Darb cut him off." Don't you get it? He's tracking your magic somehow."

“不！”达布打断他。“你还不明白吗？他不知怎么的，在追踪你的魔法。”

旁白 neutral

Could Darb be right? Zann had never heard of someone tracking people through their magic

达布说得对吗？赞从来没听说过有人能通过魔法追踪别人。

旁白 neutral

Then he remembered." I think we studied that last year," he said

然后他记起来了。“我想我们去年学到过这个，”他说。

旁白 neutral

" But that kind of magic has been banned since the Old Times."

“但是那种魔法从旧时代就被禁止了。”

旁白 neutral

" Flash Freezes are illegal too," Darb reminded him." And Morb has been using them."

“瞬间冻结也是非法的，”达布提醒他。“而莫布一直在用呢。”

旁白 neutral

" So what can we do?" Zann felt helpless

“那我们该怎么办？”赞感到无助。

旁白 neutral

If Morb could find him every time he used magic, there was no escape

如果莫布每次都能在他使用魔法时找到他，那就无处可逃了。

旁白 neutral

" Let's get to the Hollow," Darb said

“我们去空洞吧，”达布说。

旁白 neutral

" His magic can't find us there. It'll give us time to think."

“他的魔法在那里找不到我们。这会给我们时间思考。”

旁白 neutral

Zann gulped. The Hollow? He would feel even more helpless there!

赞咽了口唾沫。空洞？在那里他会感到更无助！

旁白 neutral

But Darb was right. They had to get away from Morb long enough to figure out what was going on

但是达布是对的。他们必须摆脱莫布足够长的时间，以弄清楚到底发生了什么。

旁白 neutral

" Okay." Zann sneaked another peek at Morb

“好吧。”赞又偷偷瞥了莫布一眼。

旁白 neutral

" But first I've got to use magic once more to let Perda know what's happening."

“但是首先我得再用一次魔法，让珀达知道发生了什么。”

旁白 neutral

Darb looked worried." Morb will know where you are as soon as you summon the moth

达布看起来很担心。“你一召唤消息蛾，莫布就会知道你在哪里。

旁白 neutral

You won't have time to inscribe the message."

你就没时间来刻上消息了。”

旁白 neutral

Zann bit his lip." Good point."

赞咬着嘴唇。“有道理。”

旁白 neutral

Darb smiled." Then again I just happen to know that message moths like to rest in shady underbrush

达布笑了。“不过，我恰好知道消息蛾喜欢在阴凉的灌木丛里休息。

旁白 neutral

So if we can find one without using magic..."

所以如果我们不用魔法就能找到一只的话……”

旁白 neutral

He carefully crawled around, peering under leaves

他小心地爬来爬去，在叶子下面仔细看。

旁白 neutral

Seconds later he cupped his hands around a fluttering insect

几秒钟后，他双手合拢罩住了一只扑动着的昆虫。

旁白 neutral

" Awesome!" Zann whispered. Grabbing the moth, he quickly inscribed his message onto its wings: Don't use ANY magic! Meet at the Hollow

“太棒了！”赞悄声说。他抓住蛾子，迅速在它的翅膀上刻下消息：千万别用任何魔法！在空洞见面。

旁白 neutral

Darb was peering out." He's getting closer," he whispered." Better do it now."

达布向外张望。“他越来越近了，”他悄声说。“最好现在就做。”

旁白 neutral

" Perda," Zann told the moth. He rubbed his fingers together and released the creature

“珀达，”赞对蛾子说。他搓了搓手指，然后放飞了那只昆虫。

旁白 neutral

" Aha!" Morb howled triumphantly from very close by

“啊哈！”莫布从很近的地方得意地嚎叫起来。

旁白 neutral

" Zap!" Zann yelled, focusing on the spot right outside the Hollow

“瞬移！”赞喊道，把意念集中在空洞外面的那个地方。
