第八章

 

The heads-up display inside Tony Stark's helmet was full of alarms, warnings, and worse. Systems were malfunctioning. Circuits were overloading. Tony knew his armor was crashing.

托尼·斯塔克头盔内部的平视显示器里全是警报、警告以及更糟糕的事。系统出现故障。电路超载。托尼知道自己的盔甲要崩溃了。

 

“You delay the inevitable,” muttered M.O.D.O.K., who hadn't even bothered to join the fight. The A.I.M. agents' new weapons were doing a good job of destroying Iron Man's armor all on their own. And the Space Phantom smirked at Tony all the while, confident that soon his comrades would begin their takeover of Earth.

“这是不可避免的事，你的拖延是没用的。”魔多客低声说道，他甚至不用加入战斗。先锋科技特工们凭借新式武器完全可以独自摧毁钢铁侠的盔甲。太空幽灵一直对着托尼得意地笑，相信它的同类们很快就可以占领地球。

 

“J.A.R.V.I.S.! Reroute all remaining power to the unibeam!” shouted Tony.

“贾维斯！把剩下的能量都转移到单束光炮上！”托尼喊道。

 

“Remaining power rerouted,” said J.A.R.V.I.S.

“剩余能量已转移。”贾维斯说。

 

“Good. Stand by to detonate unibeam on my mark!”

“很好。准备在我的盔甲上引爆光炮！”

 

Then it happened—so fast that neither M.O.D.O.K., the Phantoms, nor the A.I.M. agents could process it:

接着发生的一切如此迅速，魔多客，幽灵以及特工们都未能反应过来：

 

Tony ejected himself from the Iron Man armor and threw himself across the room, clear of the hard-light bubble and away from his foes.

托尼从钢铁侠盔甲中喷射出来，穿过房间，避开了强光气泡，远离了他的敌人。

 

The armor remained inside the bubble and the unibeam exploded with pent-up energy, shattering its hard-light prison and bathing the room in a shockwave that floored everyone and everything.

盔甲仍留在气泡中，单束光炮爆发出压抑的能量，粉碎了强光牢笼，将房间笼罩在冲击波中，击倒每个人、每个物体。

 

A dazed Tony Stark was the only one who had seen the explosion coming, and even he was surprised. Who knew it would work that well? thought Tony. He had deduced that the hard-light bubble was keyed to his armor and his armor only—so ejecting himself from the armor effectively freed him. And by rerouting all the power to his unibeam, Tony overloaded the armor, causing it to self-destruct.

神志不清的托尼·斯塔克是唯一看见爆炸来临的人，即使是他也很惊讶。“谁知道威力如此之大？”托尼心想。他推测强光气泡锁定了，也仅仅锁定了他的盔甲——因此将自己从盔甲中弹射出来有效地解救了他。而所有能量聚集到单束光炮上使盔甲不堪重负，从而自毁爆炸。

 

He had bought himself precious time but at a price.

他为自己赢得了宝贵的时间，但是也付出了代价。

 

He was now armor-less—Tony Stark , alone against the evil of A.I.M.

现在他是赤手空拳、独自一人的托尼·斯塔克，对抗邪恶的先锋科技。

 

“An impressive gambit, Stark,” said M.O.D.O.K. as the smoke cleared. “But you are still here, without your mighty Iron Man armor. Surely a man as smart as you knows when to admit defeat.”

“斯塔克，真是一个令人印象深刻的对策。”烟雾开始消散，魔多客说，“但是你还在这里，却没有了强大的钢铁侠盔甲。我相信如你这般聪明的人知道该何时认输。”

 

Tony crouched behind a rack in the corner of the room. I may not have my armor, but I'm still Tony Stark, he thought. And the day I let a bunch of beekeepers, goofy aliens, and a giant head stop me will be the day I can't memorize pi to seventy thousand places.

托尼蹲在房间角落里的架子后面。“我也许是没有了盔甲，但是我仍然是托尼·斯塔克。”他心想，“让一群养蜂人，愚蠢的外星人以及一个大头怪打败我，除非我不记得圆周率后七万位数字。”

 

“Show yourself, Stark!” called M.O.D.O.K. “It is hopeless! Surrender now and I promise you a slow, agonizing death.”

“出来吧，斯塔克！”魔多客说道，“你没有希望了！现在投降，我会让你慢慢痛苦地死去。”

 

“That all sounds great, M.O.D.O.K.!” Tony yelled. “It's a tempting offer, but I'll pass!”

“听起来很不错，魔多客！”托尼大喊，“是个极具诱惑的建议，但是我拒绝！”

 

Tony was in trouble and he knew it. If only he had listened to Cap.

托尼知道自己现在境况不妙。要是听了队长的话该多好。

 

And that's when he heard it—a distant rumbling. The rumbling got louder and louder. Everything in the room began to shake. Tiles fell from the ceiling and pillars toppled. Behind M.O.D.O.K., the wall burst in a great explosion!

就在这时，他听到一个遥远低沉的隆隆声。这声音越来越大。房间里的一切开始震动。瓦片从天花板落下，柱子倒塌。魔多客身后的墙壁突然爆炸了！

 

Standing in the ruin was a large brutish figure, dripping wet, fists clenched. Through gritted teeth, the green-skinned monster snarled, “Puny wall.”

站在废墟中的是一个大块头的野蛮人，浑身湿透，拳头紧握。紧咬的牙齿间，绿肤色的怪兽咆哮道：“真是堵弱不禁风的墙。”
