[00:01.04] | Chapter 6 Spaceship to the Moon |
[00:06.70] | And so they waited.And waited. Rilla slept in her chair. |
[00:13.19] | Kiah and Seru talked quietly.Seru's brother came and went. |
[00:18.00] | Most of the prison guards ran away with the prisoners. |
[00:25.75] | Seven or eight people—some prisoners and some guards—didn't want to run away, |
[00:34.27] | So they came into the room and waited,too. |
[00:38.06] | Ten o'clock came,then eleven o'clock.It was very quiet. |
[00:45.79] | Seru walked up and down the room.Kiah sat next to Rilla. |
[00:53.26] | Seru's brother came into the room again. |
[00:57.47] | ‘It's after midnight,’he said. |
[01:01.51] | Just then, they heard the noise of a plane.Kiah stood up. |
[01:08.82] | ‘Come on,’he said.‘Let's get out of the building.’ |
[01:14.83] | Quietly,they left the building.It was a dark,hot night. |
[01:23.04] | There were no guards in front of the prison, |
[01:25.82] | so they went to the gate and waited there. |
[01:29.14] | Suddenly,they saw the plane.It was a little plane, |
[01:35.85] | And it was going to come down on the road in front of the prison! |
[01:39.94] | Rilla took Kiah's hand.‘You were right,’she said.‘I'm sorry.’ |
[01:49.26] | Kiah smiled.He began to feel happy. |
[01:55.94] | ‘That's all right.I under stand.I know Adai very well,and you don't.’ |
[02:01.85] | The plane stopped and someone opened the door. |
[02:07.45] | Kiah ran across to the plane. |
[02:11.59] | ‘How many can you take?’he called.‘There are twelve of us.’ |
[02:17.74] | ‘That's all right,’someone said.‘Quickly,the spaceship is waiting.’ |
[02:23.19] | The twelve people got into the little plane,and the plane be-gan to move. |
[02:28.94] | Rilla looked at the captain of the plane.He was tall,with brown hair. |
[02:35.93] | He looked nice.Was this the famous Commander Adai? |
[02:42.31] | ‘Where is the spaceship?’Kiah asked. |
[02:47.03] | ‘At the old airport,’the man said. |
[02:51.20] | ‘One of the fires is moving very quickly across the new forest. |
[02:55.44] | It's going to arrive at the west of Kisangani before tomorrow,I think. |
[03:02.09] | But the old airport is OK.’ |
[03:05.74] | then the man looked at Kiah and smiled warmly. |
[03:11.59] | ‘My brother’,he said.‘My little brother,in prison 888!’ |
[03:19.37] | ‘Your brother?Commander Adai?’Rilla asked. |
[03:26.29] | ‘But you didn't tell me that!’ |
[03:29.81] | Kiah smiled.‘Nobody knew,’he said. |
[03:34.75] | ‘But now—it doesn't matter now.Everyone can know.’ |
[03:40.88] | The little plane came down at the old airport,south of the town. |
[03:49.13] | ‘Let's be careful,’Adai said. |
[03:52.17] | ‘We don't want someone to shoot us before we leave.’ |
[03:55.92] | The spaceship was dark. |
[03:58.90] | Quickly, everyone jumped down from the plane and ran across to the spaceship. |
[04:05.42] | Soon,the spaceship left Earth, |
[04:10.38] | And everyone looked down at the burning planet. |
[04:14.59] | They saw the dark smoke over Africa,and here and there, |
[04:22.36] | through the smoke,the red,angry fires. |
[04:27.85] | ‘The fires are destroying the forest very quickly,’seru said. |
[04:33.37] | Adai put his hand on Kiah's arm.‘I'm sorry about Zadak,’he said. |
[04:42.24] | ‘I wanted him to wait,’Kiah said.‘I wanted him to talk to you.’ |
[04:49.67] | Adai's face was sad.‘He didn't want me to die,’ |
[04:57.01] | he said quietly.‘He was a good man.And now he's dead.’ |
[05:05.74] | ‘And Gog is going to Mars,’seru said. |
[05:10.55] | ‘Mars?He's crazy!Mars isn't ready for people,’Adai said. |
[05:19.74] | ‘But Gog wants to go,and so he's going,’seru said. |
[05:27.42] | ‘Tell us about the Moon colony.That isn't ready:you need more money.’ |
[05:33.71] | ‘No,I don't,’Adai said.‘The Moon colony is ready. |
[05:39.79] | I asked for more money because of Zadak: |
[05:44.13] | I wanted to give him money for rain.But Gog didn't listen; |
[05:49.66] | He wanted all Earth's money for the spaceship to Mars.’ |
[05:54.50] | ‘I don't want to leave Earth,’Rilla said sadly.She felt tired and afraid. |
[06:03.65] | Adai smiled warmly at Rilla.‘Nobody wants to leave Earth,’he said. |
[06:12.74] | ‘But under the Moon is the best home for us now. |
[06:16.77] | Wait and see.The Moon colony is a beautiful,wonderful country, |
[06:24.21] | with rivers and rain,forests and flowers,buildings—and the first town. |
[06:33.19] | You can visit Earth again soon,and bring more people to the Moon colony. |
[06:40.34] | We all want to help Earth,because it's our first home. |
[06:45.90] | I know that.At the same time,you are going to be happy under the Moon.’ |
[06:54.83] | Suddenly,someone cried:‘Look at the Moon!’ |
[07:01.58] | And through the window of the spaceship they saw the Moon before them, |
[07:08.79] | cold,white and beautiful; |
[07:13.77] | and under the Moon,there was the Moon colony! |
[00:01.04] | Chapter 6 Spaceship to the Moon |
[00:06.70] | And so they waited And waited. Rilla slept in her chair |

[00:01.04] | 第6章 飞往月球的宇宙飞船 |
[00:06.70] | 于是他们等待着。等了又等。瑞拉蜷在她的椅子里睡着了。 |
[00:13.19] | 凯和塞鲁悄悄地谈着什么。塞鲁的哥哥进来一趟又出去了。 |
[00:18.00] | 监狱里的大部分卫兵都和犯人一起逃走了。 |
[00:25.75] | 只有大约七八个人——包括犯人和卫兵,不愿意逃走, |
[00:34.27] | 于是也到这个房间里一起等待。 |
[00:38.06] | 10 点钟, 11 点钟。房间里安静极了。 |
[00:45.79] | 塞鲁在房间里走来走去。凯坐在瑞拉身边。 |
[00:53.26] | 塞鲁的哥哥又走了进来。 |
[00:57.47] | “已经过了午夜了。”他说。 |
[01:01.51] | 就在这时,他们听到一阵飞机的轰鸣。凯站起身。 |
[01:08.82] | “来啊,”他说,“咱们到楼外面去。” |
[01:14.83] | 他们悄悄地离开了大楼。这是个漆黑闷热的夜晚。 |
[01:23.04] | 监狱前面没有卫兵, |
[01:25.82] | 于是他们来到大门口,在那儿等着。 |
[01:29.14] | 突然,他们看到了一架飞机。那是一架小飞机, |
[01:35.85] | 正准备在监狱门前的马路上降落。 |
[01:39.94] | 瑞拉抓住凯的手。“你说得对,”她说,“我很抱歉。” |
[01:49.26] | 凯笑了。他高兴起来: |
[01:55.94] | “没关系,我明白。我非常了解阿岱,而你并不了解他。” |
[02:01.85] | 那架飞机停了下来,有人打开了舱门。 |
[02:07.45] | 凯朝飞机跑了过去。 |
[02:11.59] | “你们能带多少人?”他喊着,“我们一共 12 个人。” |
[02:17.74] | “没问题,”有人答道,“快点,宇宙飞船正等着呢。” |
[02:23.19] | 12 个人都上了那架小飞机,飞机启动了。 |
[02:28.94] | 瑞拉看了看机长。他身材高大,头发是棕色的。 |
[02:35.93] | 这个人看上去很不错。他是不是那位著名的阿岱司令? |
[02:42.31] | “宇宙飞船在哪儿?”凯问。 |
[02:47.03] | “那个老机场,”那人说, |
[02:51.20] | “一股大火正掠过新森林。 |
[02:55.44] | 我想明天之前这火就会烧到基桑加尼西部。 |
[03:02.09] | 好在那个老机场还能用。” |
[03:05.74] | 说完,那人注视着凯,脸上带着亲切的笑容。 |
[03:11.59] | “我的弟弟,”他说,“我的小弟弟,住进了 888 号监狱!” |
[03:19.37] | “他是你哥哥?阿岱司令?”瑞拉问, |
[03:26.29] | “可你从来没跟我说过!” |
[03:29.81] | 凯笑了。“以前没人知道,”他说, |
[03:34.75] | “可是现在——现在没关系了。大家都可以知道。” |
[03:40.88] | 小飞机在城南的飞机场降落了。 |
[03:49.13] | “咱们要小心,”阿岱说, |
[03:52.17] | “可不能在出发之前中了别人的枪子儿。” |
[03:55.92] | 宇宙飞船笼罩在一片黑暗中。 |
[03:58.90] | 大家迅速跳下飞机朝飞船跑去。 |
[04:05.42] | 很快,飞船离开了地球, |
[04:10.38] | 大家俯视着下面这颗燃烧着的星球。 |
[04:14.59] | 他们看到了非洲上空的黑烟, |
[04:22.36] | 以及黑烟下面到处肆虐的愤怒的烈焰。 |
[04:27.85] | “大火很快就会把森林烧毁。”塞鲁说。 |
[04:33.37] | 阿岱把手搭在凯的臂膀上。“扎达克的事真让我难过。”他说。 |
[04:42.24] | “我曾希望他再等等,”凯说,“我本来想让他和你谈谈。” |
[04:49.67] | 阿岱神情悲切。“他不想让我送死,” |
[04:57.01] | 他低声说,“他是个好人。可现在他死了。” |
[05:05.74] | “还有,高格要到火星去。”塞鲁船长说。 |
[05:10.55] | “火星?他疯了!火星还不能住人。”阿岱说。 |
[05:19.74] | “可高格要去,他马上就要出发了。”塞鲁说, |
[05:27.42] | “跟我们讲讲月亮部族吧。它还不成形,你还需要很多钱。” |
[05:33.71] | “不,我不需要,”阿岱说,“月亮部族已经准备就绪。 |
[05:39.79] | 我要更多的钱是为了扎达克: |
[05:44.13] | 我想给他钱解决雨水的问题。可是高格不听; |
[05:49.66] | 他要把地球所有的钱都用在去火星的宇宙飞船上。” |
[05:54.50] | “我不想离开地球。”瑞拉忧伤地说。她感到又累又恐惧。 |
[06:03.65] | 阿岱对瑞拉温和地笑了笑。“没有人愿意离开地球,”他说, |
[06:12.74] | “可是现在我们最好的家园在月亮下面。 |
[06:16.77] | 等着看吧。月亮部族是个美丽迷人的国家, |
[06:24.21] | 有河流,有雨水,也有森林和鲜花,还有楼房——第一座城镇。 |
[06:33.19] | 你很快就可以再回到地球去。然后带更多的人到月亮部族去。 |
[06:40.34] | 我们都想帮助地球,因为它是我们的第一个家。 |
[06:45.90] | 我理解你。同时,你也一定会在月亮下面生活得愉快的。” |
[06:54.83] | 突然,有人喊了一声:“快看月亮!” |
[07:01.58] | 透过飞船的玻璃窗,他们看到了眼前的月球: |
[07:08.79] | 冰冷,洁白,美丽; |
[07:13.77] | 而在月亮下面,他们看到了月亮部族! |
