011 新的一天

旁白 neutral

When Zann awoke, he wasn't sure where he was. It was dark and a little chilly

赞恩醒来时，不确定自己身在何处。四周一片漆黑，还带着一丝寒意。

旁白 neutral

He rubbed his fingers together to create a light, but nothing happened

他搓了搓手指，想变出一点光，但什么也没发生。

旁白 neutral

That made him wake up a little more

这让他稍微清醒了一些。

旁白 neutral

As soon as he looked around, though, he remembered he was in the Hollow

不过，他环顾四周后，立刻想起自己是在空谷里。

旁白 neutral

Darb, Perda, Gliss, and Zing were lying nearby

达布、佩达、格利斯和津都躺在附近。

旁白 neutral

They'd all spent a cold, uncomfortable night sleeping on the hard ground

他们都在坚硬的地面上度过了一个寒冷难受的夜晚。

旁白 neutral

" Ugh," Perda mumbled as she woke up." It's freezing!"

“呃，”佩达醒来时咕哝着，“冷死了！”

旁白 neutral

Indeed the predawn chill hung over the swamp like a damp blanket

确实，黎明前的寒意像一条湿毯子笼罩着沼泽。

旁白 neutral

Without thinking, Zann tried to conjure up a fire, but again nothing happened

赞恩不假思索地试着变出一团火，但还是什么也没发生。

旁白 neutral

" Right, magic doesn't work in the Hollow," he reminded himself

“对，在空谷里魔法不管用，”他提醒自己。

旁白 neutral

Perda rubbed her eyes." Hey," she said, leaning over and poking Gliss." Is that Darb's jacket?"

佩达揉了揉眼睛。“嘿，”她侧过身碰了碰格利斯，问道，“那是达布的外套吗？”

旁白 neutral

" Yeah." Darb sat up and stretched." Gliss was shivering last night, and I figured she needed it more than I did."

“对。”达布坐起来伸了个懒腰，“格利斯昨晚在发抖，我觉得她比我更需要。”

旁白 neutral

That was just like Darb. He was always willing to give up his own comfort to help someone else

这正是达布的风格，他总是愿意放弃自己的舒适去帮助别人。

旁白 neutral

Usually it was one of the things Zann liked about his friend

通常这是赞恩喜欢这位朋友的一点。

旁白 neutral

But today for some reason it annoyed Zann a little

但今天，不知怎的，这让他有点不高兴。

旁白 neutral

" Nice of you to offer the jacket to the rest of us," Perda told Darb sarcastically, obviously feeling the same way

“你可真行，把外套让给我们其他人。”佩达语带讽刺地对达布说，显然她也有同感。

旁白 neutral

Darb didn't say anything, but Gliss sat up and looked at Perda

达布没说什么，但格利斯坐了起来，看着佩达。

旁白 neutral

" Sorry," she said quickly." I didn't ask him to give it to me

“抱歉，”她连忙说，“我没让他给我。”

旁白 neutral

Anyway, you guys are the ones who talked me into staying out here."

再说，是你们劝我待在这儿的。

旁白 neutral

" What else are we supposed to do?" Zann said

“不然我们还能怎样？”赞恩说。

旁白 neutral

" Do you want to go sit in your house all alone and wait for Morb to come grab you?"

“难道你想一个人坐在房子里，等着莫布来抓你吗？”

旁白 neutral

As soon as he said it, he regretted it

话一出口，他就后悔了。

旁白 neutral

Gliss' face fell and a tear ran down her cheek

格利斯的脸沉了下去，一滴眼泪顺着她的脸颊滑落。

旁白 neutral

Perda scowled at Zann." That wasn't very nice."

佩达朝赞恩皱起了眉头。“说这种话可不太好。”

旁白 neutral

" Sorry," Zann muttered

“对不起。”赞恩含糊地道歉。

旁白 neutral

" What are we going to do?" Gliss asked in a shaky voice

“我们该怎么办？”格利斯颤声问道。

旁白 neutral

" Morb blasted through my parents' Shield spell like it was nothing."

“莫布轻易地就冲破了我父母的护盾咒，就像捅破一张纸一样。”

旁白 neutral

" We've got to look for Boz's diary," Darb said

“我们必须找到波兹的日记。”达布说。

旁白 neutral

" And then what?" Gliss asked." Even if the diary survived the explosion, how are we supposed to get it to the palace? First City is halfway across Magica!"

“然后呢？”格利斯问，“就算日记在大爆炸中幸存了下来，我们又该怎么把它送到王宫去？第一城可是在魔吉卡的另一头啊！”

旁白 neutral

" Why don't we take it to the mayor?" Darb suggested." Maybe she'll know what to do."

“我们为什么不把它交给市长呢？”达布提议道，“也许她知道该怎么做。”

旁白 neutral

Gliss nodded, looking hopeful for the first time

格丽丝点了点头，第一次露出了充满希望的神色。

旁白 neutral

" Everyone says the mayor is the most powerful Red in Swamp Bottom." She shot a glance at Zann

“大家都说市长是沼泽底最强大的红魔法师。”她瞥了赞恩一眼。

旁白 neutral

" Well, except for Boz. But he's retired."

“嗯，除了博兹。不过他已经退休了。”

旁白 neutral

" And missing," Perda pointed out." I think you're right about the mayor, Darb. She can help us if anyone can."

“而且还失踪了，”佩达指出，“达布，我觉得你对市长的看法是对的。如果有人能帮我们，那就是她了。”

旁白 neutral

Zann shrugged. He was ready to get out of the Hollow

赞恩耸了耸肩。他准备好离开空谷了。

旁白 neutral

" Let's worry about all that later," he said

“这些事我们晚点再操心吧，”他说。

旁白 neutral

" First we need to find that diary."

“我们首先得找到那本日记。”

旁白 neutral

Morb glared at the old woman facing him. Her sunken eyes burned with disdain

莫布怒视着面前的老妇人。她深陷的双眼燃烧着鄙夷。

旁白 neutral

" Why did you come today if you're not going to help me?" he demanded

“既然不打算帮我，今天干吗过来？”他质问道。

旁白 neutral

" I can't help you anymore," she croaked in a deep, dark voice

“我不能再帮你了，”她用低沉而阴郁的声音沙哑地说道。

旁白 neutral

" What you are doing is too much

“你做得太过分了。

旁白 neutral

When we made our deal, I never intended — "

我们达成协议的时候，我从未打算——”

旁白 neutral

" That's enough!" Morb thundered." Who are you to lecture me about right and wrong? You're no better than I am."

“够了！”莫布怒吼道。“你是谁，也配来教训我什么是对错？你不比我好到哪儿去。”

旁白 neutral

The old woman's eyes narrowed." Perhaps not," she said in a low, ominous voice

老妇人眯起了眼睛。“也许吧，”她用低沉而不祥的声音说道。

旁白 neutral

" But I have lived many years and seen many things, including the downfall of others who tried to do more than their destinies allowed."

“但我活了很多年，见过很多事情，包括那些试图超越命运允许范围的人的下场。”

旁白 neutral

" I believe in making my own destiny," Morb retorted

“我信奉创造自己的命运，”莫布反驳道。

旁白 neutral

The woman shook her head." Making your own destiny?" she said." Or stealing it?"

妇人摇了摇头。“创造自己的命运？”她说。“还是窃取它？”

旁白 neutral

Morb's face twisted with anger. Ready to send a Blast spell flying, he rubbed his fingers together; the friction made a crackling sound

莫布的脸因愤怒而扭曲。他准备释放一个爆裂咒，手指互相搓动；摩擦发出了噼啪的声响。

旁白 neutral

" You know better than that," the old woman said with a slight smile

“你明知那不顶用，”老妇人带着一丝微笑说道。

旁白 neutral

" Like it or not, you still need me, Morb."

“不管你喜不喜欢，你仍然需要我，莫布。”

旁白 neutral

Morb lowered his hand." Perhaps," he said." But not for much longer."

莫布放下手。“也许吧，”他说。“但用不了多久了。”

旁白 neutral

For the first time, the old woman looked worried

老妇人第一次露出了担忧的神情。

旁白 neutral

" What do you mean? Without my help you could never — "

“你什么意思？没有我的帮助，你根本不可能——”

旁白 neutral

" I'm tired of this conversation," Morb interrupted loudly

“我厌倦这谈话了，”莫布大声打断道。

旁白 neutral

He'd just noticed a swarm of flizzes zipping in through the window." Leave."

他刚注意到一群飞贼嗖地飞进窗户。“退下。”

旁白 neutral

The old woman hesitated, her deep-set eyes studying Morb's face with a mix of curiosity and dread

老妇人犹豫了，她深陷的双眼审视着莫布的脸，眼神中混杂着好奇和恐惧。

旁白 neutral

Slowly she turned and walked out of the room

她缓缓转身，走出了房间。

旁白 neutral

When she was gone, Morb stepped toward the flizzes

等她离开后，莫布走向那群飞贼。

旁白 neutral

" What have you brought me, my pretties?" he asked

“我的小可爱们，给我带来了什么？”他问道。

旁白 neutral

Several of the tiny dragons were struggling to carry pieces of paper

几只小龙正费力地搬运着几张纸片。

旁白 neutral

Morb grabbed the papers and examined them

莫布抓起纸片，仔细查看。

旁白 neutral

A smile spread across his thin face

他消瘦的脸上浮现出笑容。

旁白 neutral

" Perfect," he said." You've done well, my tiny friends."

“好极了，”他说。“我的小朋友们，你们干得很好。”

旁白 neutral

Striding over to the Secret Eye, he paused and glanced at the map image hovering above it

他大步走向秘眼，停了下来，瞥了一眼悬浮在上方的地图影像。

旁白 neutral

It was still blank, with no red dots visible at all

地图仍是一片空白，完全看不见红点。

旁白 neutral

Never mind. The boy couldn't resist using magic forever

没关系。那个男孩不可能永远忍住不用魔法。

旁白 neutral

As soon as Zann slipped, Morb would be ready

只要赞恩一失手，莫布就会立刻行动。

旁白 neutral

He looked once more at the blink images in his hand

他又看了看手中的瞬闪影像。

旁白 neutral

One showed the Red girl whose parents now languished in one of his cells

一张显示的是那个红发女孩，她的父母正被关在他的牢房里受苦。

旁白 neutral

The other picture was of the tall non-Red who had been with the others

另一张是那个高个子非红族，他之前和其他人在一起。

旁白 neutral

Morb stuffed both images into the Secret Eye alongside the blink image of Boz's grandson

莫布把这两张影像连同博兹孙子的瞬闪影像，一起塞进了秘眼。

旁白 neutral

Nothing happened. No red dots appeared on the map

毫无动静。地图上没有出现任何红点。

旁白 neutral

Morb scowled. He didn't have time to stand here waiting for those foolish children to use magic

莫布皱起眉头。他可没时间站在这儿等着那些愚蠢的孩子用魔法。

旁白 neutral

His plans were underway, and there was still much to do. He summoned several trolls

他的计划已经启动，还有很多事要做。他召来了几个巨魔。

旁白 neutral

" Watch the map!" he ordered them." As soon as it shows the location of the young fugitives, seize them and bring them to me."

“盯着这地图！”他对他们下令。“一旦上面显示那些小逃亡者的位置，就抓住他们，带到我面前来！”
