" I'm asking the questions, not you, " Gog said. " Did you see Zadak yesterday? "

“是我在提问，不是你，”高格说，“昨天你见到扎达克了吗？”

" Oh yes? " Rilla said tiredly. " But when? Gog can kill us before Adai comes."

“噢，真的吗？”瑞拉疲惫地说，“可是什么时候呢？阿岱来之前高格可能就把我们杀了。”

" What happened? " she asked them. " Commander Zadak is dead; why is Gog angry? "

“出了什么事？”她问他们，“扎达克司令死了，高格为什么那么生气？”

" Yes. Gog told Rilla yesterday, " Kiah said.

“瑞拉知道，高格昨天告诉她了。”凯说。

" And Gog is going to Mars, " seru said.

“还有，高格要到火星去。”塞鲁船长说。

Some say that it should be pronounced " Van Goff" . Some say " Van Gog" . Some say " Van Gock" .

有人说应该读作" Van Goff" , 有人说" Van Gog" , 有人说" Van Gock" .

" Please help us! " Rilla cried, " Come and see Gog with us! "

“请您帮帮我们！”瑞拉喊着，“和我们一起去见见高格吧！”

" You were right，Captain, " Kiah said. " Gog sent us to prison because we told him about the holes in the AOL."

“船长，不出您所料，”凯说，“我们告诉高格人工臭氧层有洞的事，他就把我们送进了监狱。”

" He is dead, " Gog said again. " You lost your friend, here in this building, early this morning. My guards shot him."

“他死了，”高格重复了一遍，“你失去了你的朋友。就在这座楼里。今天清晨，我的卫兵开枪打死了他。”

" Gog wants to know about Zadak，and about you, " she said. " He's going to kill us all, I think，before he goes to Mars."

“高格想知道关于扎达克的情况，他也想知道关于你们的情况。”她说，“我想，他要把我们大家都杀掉，然后再去火星。”

" But Gog wants to go，and so he's going, " seru said. " Tell us about the Moon colony. That isn't ready: you need more money."

“可高格要去，他马上就要出发了。”塞鲁说，“跟我们讲讲月亮部族吧。它还不成形，你还需要很多钱。”

" That's all right, that's all right, " Gog said quickly. And then he looked up, first at Rilla and then at Kiah. His eyes were cold and green.

“行了，行了，”高格不耐烦地打断她。之后他抬起头看看瑞拉又看看凯。那是一双冷漠的绿眼睛。

" No." Zadak looked at Kiah and then at Rilla with his blue eyes. " I'm not talking to Gog again. And you—Gog isn't going to listen to you. Be careful—and good luck! "

“不，”扎达克用他蓝蓝的眼睛看了看凯，又看了看瑞拉，“我再也不去跟高格谈了。而你们——高格不会听你们的。小心点——祝你们好运！”

" No, Kiah" , Zadak said quietly. " I don't want more people. Adai can come back to Earth after Gog is dead—after I am dead, perhaps. I don't want Adai to die, too."

“不，凯，”扎达克平静地说，“我不需要更多的人。阿岱可以在高格死了以后——也许我死了以后再回来。我不希望阿岱也来送死。”

Rilla put her hands over her face and began to cry. " Zadak is dead, " she began. " He didn't kill Gog. He killed Bel before the guards shot him, and now Gog is going to destroy Australia."

瑞拉捂着脸哭了起来。“扎达克死了，”她说，“他没能杀死高格。他打死贝尔之后那些卫兵杀了他，现在高格要毁掉澳大利亚。”

Suddenly, the door opened and a tall, fat woman came in. Her name was Bel, and she was Gog's wife. She had a lot of long red hair and she wore an expensive blue dress.

突然，门开了，一个身高体胖的女人走了进来。她叫贝尔，是高格的妻子。她有一头浓密的红色长发，穿着一件昂贵的蓝色裙子。

Kiah closed his eyes for a minute." Gog's guards have guns. They can kill you，Commander, " he said. " You need more people to help. Wait for Adai. He can help you to look for more people."

凯闭目凝神了一会儿。“高格的卫兵有枪。他们会杀了您的，司令。”他说，“您需要多一些人帮忙。等等阿岱。他能帮您找更多的人。”

" No，I don't, " Adai said. " The Moon colony is ready. I asked for more money because of Zadak: I wanted to give him money for rain. But Gog didn't listen; he wanted all Earth's money for the spaceship to Mars."

“不，我不需要，”阿岱说，“月亮部族已经准备就绪。我要更多的钱是为了扎达克：我想给他钱解决雨水的问题。可是高格不听；他要把地球所有的钱都用在去火星的宇宙飞船上。”
