双语漫威故事《美国队长》 第三章

Chapter　3

第三章

 

Falcon shook his head, then took to the air and activated the GPS on his watch. “I've got a lock on them, so try to keep up!” Falcon said as he flew toward the Major Deegan Expressway. Captain America followed on his bike, darting IN and OUT of traffic until he spotted the hijacked school bus.

猎鹰摇了摇头，飞到空中启动了手表上的GPS定位系统。“我已锁定他们，你尽量跟上！”猎鹰一边说一边朝狄根少校高速公路飞去。美国队长骑着他的摩托车紧跟其后，在车流中穿梭，直到发现被挟持的校车。

 

Cap sped past all the other cars until he was right behind the bus. Suddenly, the emergency doors at the back of the bus burst open.

队长加速超过其他车辆，来到校车正后方。就在这时，校车后部的应急门突然打开了。

 

Energy beams shot from the windows. Whoever these guys were, they were very heavily armed.

窗子里射出许多能量光束。不管这些人是谁，他们都全副武装。

 

“Falcon! I could use a diversion!” said Cap.

“猎鹰！我需要掩护！”队长说。

 

“Understood,” Falcon said. The flying hero dove down and fired a grappling hook at the roof of the bus, penetrating the thick top. Falcon swung high into the air and yanked with all his might, causing the driver to swerve. The distraction worked! Cap sped up and drove out of harm's way.

“明白。”猎鹰说。飞行英雄俯冲下来，朝校车顶部发射了一个抓钩，抓钩穿透了厚厚的车顶。猎鹰在空中盘旋，用尽全力，迫使司机急转弯。掩护起了作用！队长加速驶离了危险地区。

 

Inside the bus, an armed goon attached a small device to the end of the grappling hook and sent an electric charge up the wire and straight back to Falcon. It shocked the hero, and Falcon fell to the ground. The villain laughed as the bus sped away. “We did it,” the goon said. “Inform headquarters that the test subjects will be there within the hour.”

校车里，一个全副武装的暴徒将一个小装置安装在抓钩末端，发射出电荷，电流沿着抓钩绳索直击向猎鹰。猎鹰被电流击中，倒在地上。校车疾驰而去，暴徒大笑。“我们成功了，”暴徒说，“通知总部，测试对象将在一小时内到达。”

 

But before the driver could respond, he pointed out the window; the armed goon followed his gaze. “No! It can't be,” the driver said in disbelief. The villains saw him from a distance, standing atop an overpass, looking directly at them: it was Captain America!

但在司机来得及回答以前，他指了指窗外，那个武装暴徒顺着他的视线朝外看去。“不！这不可能。”司机不敢相信地说。恶棍们远远看见，一人站在立交桥顶上，直视着他们：那是美国队长！

 

Cap jumped on his bike and revved the engine, but it sputtered out. “Not now!” Cap said under his breath. He tried his bike again.

队长跳上摩托车，发动引擎，但它居然熄火了。“别是现在呀!”队长低声说道。他再次尝试发动摩托车。

 

The bus was getting closer and closer. He tried a third time. The bike sputtered again and then conked out.

校车越来越近了。他又试了一次。摩托车噼啪响了响，随后还是熄了火。

 

The motorcycle that had never failed . . . failed. By then the bus was almost under the overpass. There was only one thing to do. Captain America ran at full speed and JUMPED!

从没出过故障的摩托车在这时坏了。但校车已经快到立交桥下了。别无选择，美国队长全速奔跑起来，接着跳了 下去。

 

CRASH !

轰的一声！

 

The bus swerved left and right, then burst through a guardrail and came to a stop. Cap, who had been clinging to the top of the bus, quickly jumped to his feet and swung down through one of the side windows.

校车左摇右摆，冲出护栏，才停了下来。一直紧紧抓着车顶的美国队长迅速站起来，从旁边一个窗户滑进车内。

 

“Ah, the great Captain America,” the villain said as he raised his weapon.

“啊，伟大的美国队长。”那暴徒边说边举起武器。

 

The goon fired, but Cap was too fast. The beams bounced off his raised shield. Then Cap THREW his shield! The hostages stood there, stunned, as the goon fell to the ground. Then Cap noticed that the driver had gotten away.

那暴徒开了枪，但队长速度太快。光束射到队长举起的盾牌上，反弹开来。然后队长把盾牌扔了出去！暴徒被击中，倒在地上，人质们站在那儿，目瞪口呆。队长注意到司机逃跑了。

 

“Wait here,” he instructed the hostages. “I'll be right back!”

“在这儿等着，”他告诉人质们，“我马上回来！”

 

Captain America jumped off the bus and ran at top speed toward the driver. The driver had pulled out a high-tech energy weapon, ready to fire, when—wham! Falcon smashed down on the villain and knocked him out cold.

美国队长跳下校车，以最快的速度朝司机跑去。司机拿出一件高科技能源武器，正准备开火，就在那时——嘭！猎鹰将那个恶棍打昏在地。

 

“Who are these guys?” Falcon asked.

“这些家伙是什么人？”猎鹰问。

 

“I don't know, but they're too heavily armed for a hostage situation,” Cap said. “Fury's right: there's more to this than meets the eye. And I don't like it.”

“我不知道，但他们携带的武器太多，不像只是简单的劫持。”队长说，“弗瑞是对的：事情比我们看到的要复杂。我不喜欢这样。”

 

“Captain America? Falcon?” a voice called from behind them.

“美国队长？猎鹰？”他们身后传来一个声音。

 

“We'll take it from here.” It was Agent Coulson from S.H.I.E.L.D. He and his team were ushering the hostages off the bus and taking the villains into custody. “Please report to Director Fury's office at oh seven hundred tomorrow morning,” Coulson said. Then he wheeled Cap's bike up to him. “Think you might want to requisition a new ride, Captain,” Coulson quipped.

“这里我们接手了。”原来是神盾局的科尔森特工。他和他的队员正从校车上转移人质，并将坏人们抓了起来。科尔森说：“请于明早七点钟到弗瑞主任办公室报到。”然后他把队长的摩托车推了过来，打趣道：“队长，我想你可能需要一辆新车。”

 

“No, thanks,” Cap said as he quickly took the bike from him and wheeled it off toward the S.H.I.E.L.D. trucks.

“不用了，谢谢。”队长说着，快速从科尔森手中接过摩托车，朝神盾局的卡车推去。

 

“Was it something I said?” Coulson asked Falcon.

“我说错什么了吗？”科尔森问猎鹰。

 

“Nah, he's just upset. He almost jeopardized the hostages thanks to his old motorcycle.” Cap heard what Falcon said. And he was right.

“不，他只是感到自责。因为他的旧摩托车，他差点危害到了人质。”队长听到了猎鹰说的话。是的，他说得没错。
