nobody wins(1) 原文
After his supper of kangaroo soup,Gork lay down on his bed and almost immediately fell asleep.He was snoring.The noise shook the cave.
'Listen,everyone,'I said.'Here's my plan.'From my pocket, I took my small, powerful laser torch.Because it was in a plastic case,the magnet could not attract it.'We'll use this to escape from the cage,' I said.'First,I'll melt the bars and then...'
Peters interrupted me.'I know,Captain.Then you'll use the torch to kill Gork.''Use your brains,' I said.'If we kill Gork,how will we escape?We're too weak to open the door.Here's what we'll do!We'll...'
Moments later,we were all out of the cage.The crew was hiding among the kangaroos,and I was standing on the bed,beside Gork's head.I said loudly, 'Gork,this is Nobody.' Gork woke up.I aimed the torch at his eye and pressed the buttonThe laser beam hit the eye.The eye went out.
Gork roared,'I can't see!My eye!'The noise brought his neighbours running to his door.
'What's wrong,Gork?' they shouted from outside.
Gork shouted back,'It's Nobody.Nobody attacked me.Nobody damaged my eye.'
The neighbours laughed and said,'Nobody attacked him.
Gork's having a bad dream.
Let's go back to bed.Good night, Gork.
By this time,I had joined my crew among the kangaroos.
Gork said,'Nobody,I know you're hiding among my kangaroos.
I'll get you.You're finished,all of you.'
He opened the cave door a little and called his kangaroos to come out.
As they hopped through the narrow opening,one at a time,
he felt their backs with his hands to make sure we were not on them.
'What do we do now?' Peters whispered.
'We can't get out on the kangarros.We're done for.'
'Don't panic,Peters,'I said.
'We can't get out on the kangaroos but we can get out in them.
[Here,get inside this one.'Peters climbed into the giant kangaroo's pocket.
A few moments later,he hopped through the door to freedom.
'That's how we all got free,'said Captain King,
'and back to our ship and,eventually,back to the safety of the earth.'
'What happened to Gork?'asked someone.
'Gork? I don't know.Maybe he's still in his cave-looking for Nobody.'
Everyone laughed except a figure in the captain's garden.
It was moving silently towards the house.
It was a huge figure, and in its face was a single,red,glowing eye.
吃过了晚餐袋鼠汤后,Gork躺在床上马上睡着了。他打着呼噜。奸声震动了洞穴。“大家听我说,”我说道。“我的计划是这样的。”
从口袋里,我掏出我的小而强大的激光手电筒。因为它是在一个塑料盒里,所以磁铁没能把它吸走。“我们将用这个逃离这个笼子,”我说道。“首先我会熔化钢条,然后……,,
Peters打断我。“我知道了,机长。然后你就用这个手电筒杀死Gork。”
“动动脑子,”我说。“如果我们杀了Gork,我们怎么逃出去?我们太弱小了,开不了门。我们要这样做!我们……”
没用多久,我们都逃出了笼子。机组成员都藏在袋鼠中间,我站在床上,戈克的头旁边。我大声说,“戈克,我是Nobody,”Gork醒了。我把手电筒对准他的眼睛,按下按粗。激光光束刺向眼睛,他便什么也看不见了。
Gork大吼,“我看不见了!我的眼睛!”声音惊动了他的邻居,都跑到了他的门外。
“Gork,怎么了?”他们从外面喊道。
Gork回应道,“是Nobody。Nobody袭击我。Nobody毁坏了我的眼睛。”
邻居们笑了,说道,“Nobody袭击他。Gork做噩梦了。我们回去睡觉吧。晚安,Gork。”
到这时,我已经和机组成员都藏到袋鼠中间去了。Gork说:“Nobody,我知道你们藏在我的袋鼠中间。我会抓到你们的。你们都将被杀死。”
他把洞穴的门打开了一点,让他的袋鼠都出去。当他们从狭窄的开口跳出去,一次一个时,他用手摸他们的后面,以确定我们没在他们身上。
“现在我们该怎么办?”Peters低声说道,“我们不能在袋鼠身上逃出去。我们完蛋了。”
“别慌,Peters,”我说。“我们不能在袋鼠身上出去但我们进去再逃出去,这儿,到这只里面去。”Peters爬到巨大的袋鼠口袋里面。几分钟以后,他通过门跳了出去,自由了。
“那就是我们得以自由的方法,”King机长说道。“回到我们的船上,最后安全地返
回地球。”
“Gork发生什么事了?”有人问。
“Gork?我不知道。或许他仍在他的洞穴里---寻找Nobody。”
大家都笑了,除了机长花园里的一个人影。它悄悄地移向房子。那是个巨大的人影,在它脸上有一个红色的会发光的眼睛。
