041 穿越虫洞

旁白 neutral

Morb, the troll, and the entire room faded from view as Zann slid into the wormhole behind Wyssa

当赞紧随维萨滑入虫洞时，巨怪莫布和整个房间都从视野中淡去了。

旁白 neutral

It was like nothing he'd ever seen or experienced before

这是他前所未见、从未经历过的感受。

旁白 neutral

It felt like falling — or flying. Zann found it difficult to breathe or think as he plummeted forward

感觉像是在坠落——又像是在飞翔。赞猛地向前冲去，感到难以呼吸或思考。

旁白 neutral

Or was it downward? Or upward? He couldn't tell, and it made him feel dizzy and confused

又或者是向下？还是向上？他搞不清楚，这让他感到头晕目眩，不知所措。

旁白 neutral

He put out his free hand, trying to slow himself down

他伸出空着的那只手，想让自己慢下来。

旁白 neutral

But there was nothing to grab, and his body twisted wildly

但什么也抓不住，他的身体开始疯狂地扭转。

旁白 neutral

" Be careful!" Wyssa's voice echoed strangely." Do not pull yourself off course!"

"小心！"维萨的声音奇怪地回荡着。"别让自己偏离方向！"

旁白 neutral

Zann opened his mouth to answer but no words came out. He looked around

赞张了张嘴想回答，却发不出声音。他环顾四周。

旁白 neutral

The wormhole was dark, filled with swirling shapes and colors

虫洞里一片漆黑，充满旋转的形状和颜色。

旁白 neutral

Every few seconds he and Wyssa slid past bright spots

每隔几秒，他和维萨就会滑过一些明亮的光点。

旁白 neutral

Were those other wormholes? Did some of them lead to different worlds?

刚才那些也是虫洞吗？是不是有些通往不同的世界？

旁白 neutral

Zann tried to focus on the next one they approached

赞努力把注意力集中在他们靠近的下一个虫洞上。

旁白 neutral

He stared through it as they passed by, trying to catch a glimpse of what lay beyond

他们经过时，他透过虫洞凝视，想看一眼对面的景象。

旁白 neutral

He saw a peaceful field of tall, amber grasses waving in the breeze with huge, strange-looking animals grazing

他看到一片宁静的田野，高高的琥珀色草丛在微风中摇曳，一些巨大而奇特的动物在吃草。

旁白 neutral

The sky above was a clear, pale purple; a pair of silver suns shone down on the scene

头顶的天空清澈，呈淡紫色，两轮银色的太阳照耀着这片景象。

旁白 neutral

That was all Zann was able to take in before he was past the wormhole, but it was enough to set his mind spinning

赞在穿过虫洞前只来得及看到这些，但这已足以让他思绪万千。

旁白 neutral

It was amazing. How many different worlds were out there? What were they like?

太神奇了。外面到底有多少不同的世界？它们又是什么样子呢？

旁白 neutral

No wonder his parents had loved exploring so much!

难怪他的父母那么热爱探索！

旁白 neutral

When the next wormhole appeared, Zann reached out to grab its edge, hoping to slow down so he could get a good look

当下一个虫洞出现时，赞伸手去抓它的边缘，希望能慢下来好好看看。

旁白 neutral

The movement sent him twisting sideways. This time he felt his hand start to slip from Wyssa's grip

这个动作让他身体偏向一侧扭转。这次，他感到自己抓着维萨的手开始滑脱。

旁白 neutral

" No!" Wyssa yelled harshly, grabbing him with both hands and yanking him forward

“不！”维萨厉声喊道，双手抓住他，猛地把他往前拽。

旁白 neutral

Zann glanced back longingly at the wormhole

赞恋恋不舍地回头瞥了一眼虫洞。

旁白 neutral

He hadn't seen much more this time

他这次没看到更多东西。

旁白 neutral

Mostly swirling blue-green water with large, dark shapes drifting through it

大部分是旋转的蓝绿色水流，其中有大片黑影飘过。

旁白 neutral

Was it an ocean, perhaps one in Magica?

那是一片海洋吗？也许是魔幻世界里的？

旁白 neutral

Or could it be yet another faraway world full of wondrous creatures?

还是又一个充满奇妙生物的遥远世界？

旁白 neutral

Wyssa pulled him even with her; her eyes flashed angrily in the darkness

维萨把他拉到与自己并肩，黑暗中她的双眼闪着愤怒的光芒。

旁白 neutral

" I told you not to do that!" she scolded." This is no place for amateurs

“我告诉过你别那样做！”她斥责道，“这里可不是新手待的地方。”

旁白 neutral

Do not try to stop or slow down again unless you wish to stay lost like your parents."

别再试图停下或减速，除非你想像你父母一样一直迷失下去。”

旁白 neutral

Zann frowned, wanting to protest. But he was distracted by yet more wormholes flashing by

赞皱起眉头，想要反驳。但更多的虫洞一闪而过，分散了他的注意力。

旁白 neutral

How could Wyssa just slide past them, ignoring the incredible scenes within?

维萨怎么能就这样滑过去，对那些不可思议的景象视而不见？

旁白 neutral

Then instead of rushing headlong, they were slowing down, though Zann couldn't tell how Wyssa had made that happen

接着，他们没有继续猛冲，反而慢了下来，尽管赞不明白维萨是怎么做到的。

旁白 neutral

They were approaching another bright spot

他们正靠近另一个光点。

旁白 neutral

Wyssa reached out with her free hand, and before Zann realized what was happening, they were through the wormhole

维萨伸出另一只空着的手，还没等赞反应过来，他们就已经穿过了虫洞。

旁白 neutral

" Oof," he grunted, landing facedown on the ground

“扑通，”他闷哼一声，脸朝下摔在了地上。

旁白 neutral

Zann's head was reeling, and for a moment all he could do was lie there

赞感到天旋地转，一时间只能趴在那儿。

旁白 neutral

Finally he pushed himself up and saw that they'd emerged beside the ancient tree in Wormwood

他终于撑起身子，发现他们来到了沃姆伍德那棵古树旁。

旁白 neutral

" Wow!" he said, once he'd caught his breath enough to speak

“哇！”他喘过气能说话时，不禁感叹道。

旁白 neutral

" That was amazing! How did you learn how to find wormholes like that?

“太神奇了！你是怎么学会找到那种虫洞的？

旁白 neutral

How did you know which one led here? How did you — "

你怎么知道哪个虫洞通往这里？你是怎么——”

旁白 neutral

Wyssa cut him off with a frown." You need to get out of town. Morb will be coming for you."

维萨皱着眉头打断了他。"你得离开镇子。莫布会来找你的。"

旁白 neutral

Reaching into a knothole in the tree, she pulled out a large cloth bag and opened it

她把手伸进树上的一个节孔里，掏出一个大布袋，然后打开。

旁白 neutral

Taking out a small object, she pressed it into Zann's hand

她拿出一个小物件，塞进赞的手里。

旁白 neutral

" If you ever see your grandfather again," she added, a little more softly," give this to him. Now go."

"要是你还能再见到你爷爷，"她语气稍微柔和了些，补充道，"就把这个交给他。现在快走吧。"

旁白 neutral

Zann looked down to see what she'd given him

赞低头看是什么东西。

旁白 neutral

It was a smooth, oblong stone. Its surface was a blend of swirling colors that seemed to shift and change with every glint of the sun

那是一块光滑的椭圆形石头。它的表面混合着旋转的色彩，似乎随着每一缕阳光的闪烁而变幻。

旁白 neutral

" What is it?" he asked

"这是什么？"他问道。

旁白 neutral

Wyssa didn't answer. Zann glanced up just in time to see her disappear back into the wormhole, clutching her bag

维萨没有回答。赞一抬头，正好看见她紧抓着袋子，消失在虫洞里。

旁白 neutral

A second later the wormhole disappeared too

一秒后，虫洞也消失了。

旁白 neutral

" Wait!" Zann cried. That wormhole was the only way he could ever hope to find his parents

"等等！"赞喊道。那个虫洞是他找到父母唯一的希望。

旁白 neutral

And the only person who could help him travel through it was gone

而唯一能帮他穿越虫洞的人已经走了。

旁白 neutral

Zann could never go through the wormhole by himself. Or could he?

赞绝不可能独自穿越虫洞。还是说，他可以？

旁白 neutral

" I could probably figure out how it works," he thought

"我也许能搞懂它是怎么回事，"他想。

旁白 neutral

After all, he'd been waiting for an opportunity like this for four years, and here it was

毕竟，他为这样的机会等了四年，现在它就在眼前。

旁白 neutral

All he had to do was step in, and he could be reunited with his mom and dad

他只需要走进去，就能和爸爸妈妈团聚了。

旁白 neutral

It was now or never. Zann walked over to the tree, and the wormhole opened up

机不可失。赞走向那棵树，虫洞便打开了。

旁白 neutral

He gazed into the whirling darkness, took a deep breath, and put the stone in his pocket

他凝视着旋转的黑暗，深吸一口气，把石头放进口袋。

旁白 neutral

As he did so, he felt something else in there — the troll talisman

这时，他摸到了口袋里另一样东西——巨魔护符。

旁白 neutral

Zann took the talisman out and looked at it

赞掏出护符，看着它。

旁白 neutral

Trolls... Morb... What good would it do to bring his parents back to a world where virtually everyone was a prisoner of Morb?

巨魔……莫布……把父母带回一个几乎人人都是莫布囚徒的世界，又有什么意义呢？

旁白 neutral

Magica needed Zann, and right now that was more important than his own needs

魔奇卡需要赞，而此刻这比他自己的需求更重要。

旁白 neutral

People were counting on him — he couldn't let them down

大家都在指望他——他不能让大家失望。

旁白 neutral

Zann took a step back, and the wormhole disappeared once more

赞向后退了一步，虫洞再次消失了。

旁白 neutral

When Zann turned around, a message moth was fluttering toward him

赞转过身时，一只信蛾正朝他翩翩飞来。

旁白 neutral

He reached out and let it land on his finger

他伸出手，让它落在手指上。

旁白 neutral

It was from Fala, telling him where to meet her and the others in the forest

信是法拉传来的，告诉他去森林哪里与她和大家会合。

旁白 neutral

Zann let the message moth go and put the talisman back in his pocket

赞放飞信蛾，把护符放回口袋。

旁白 neutral

He took one last look at the ancient tree and then set out toward the forest

他最后看了一眼那棵古树，然后朝着森林出发了。
