"Oh, right," Hawker said. "Are you going to tell us why?"
查看中文翻译
The first visitors are now on Isabela Island, Galápagos.
查看中文翻译
"Big place," said Jude. "How about Chile? I like Chile."
查看中文翻译
"No, it's Ecuador. You're going to the Galápagos Islands, a thousand kilometres out in the Pacific Ocean."
查看中文翻译
A new time is coming for our planet.
查看中文翻译
"Why?" asked Jude. "Where are we going now?"
查看中文翻译
"Got your sun hats?" said Arla.
查看中文翻译
Tell your government now.
查看中文翻译
Don't fight them. Don't be afraid of them. Be friendly.
查看中文翻译
"South America," Arla said.
查看中文翻译
Hawker and Jude looked at Arla, and then laughed. "There are a lot of crazy people out there on the Internet," said Jude. "You don't believe this one -- do you?"
查看中文翻译
"Perhaps it's crazy, and perhaps it's not," said Arla. "But when we email back with questions, they don't answer. The Americans are watching the island by satellite, but they don't want to tell us why. There are two Australian ships going there. The Mexicans are getting very excited, and the Ecuadorians are saying nothing… Something is happening on Isabela. What is it? We want to know."
查看中文翻译
Arla looked unhappy. "There's something strange going on. EDI is getting emails every day from the Galápagos. They're all about Isabela Island and they all say things like this." He gave Hawker and Jude a piece of paper.
查看中文翻译
"Whew," said Hawker. He put on his sun hat quickly.
查看中文翻译
They went across to Santa Cruz Island and down to Puerto Ayora. There they found a boat, the Sea-Lion, to take them to Isabela, about 90 kilometres away. At first, the boatman, Gonzalo, did not want to take them.
查看中文翻译
From Brussels to the Galápagos is a long way. Hawker and Jude took a plane to Cuba, a second plane to Ecuador, then a third plane out to Baltra Island, in the Galapagos. When they got out of the plane, a wall of hot air hit them.
查看中文翻译
Jude smiled at him. "Not for two rich people."
查看中文翻译
On the way to Isabela Island Jude read a book about the Galápagos, and Hawker watched the sea. "Isabela is a very young island," Jude told him. "And it has -- listen to this! -- six volcanoes. One erupted only two years ago."
查看中文翻译
"Rich?" said Hawker. "It's not our money -- ouch!"
查看中文翻译
Jude hit him hard on the arm. "We're on holiday," she told Gonzalo. "We want to see the giant tortoises on Isabela." She looked at Hawker. "Don't we?"
查看中文翻译
"My boat can take ten people," he said. "It's a very good boat, but very expensive for only two people."
查看中文翻译
"Er, yes. That's right," said Hawker quickly. "We're very interested in the giant tortoises."
查看中文翻译
"Afraid of what?" asked Jude. "Go and talk to them, Hawker. Your Spanish is better than mine."
查看中文翻译
Not many people lived on Isabela, and Puerto Villamil was usually a sleepy place. But when the Sea-Lion arrived, there were about fifty people down by the sea. There were two small boats, and on them Hawker and Jude could see chairs and tables, beds, boxes and bags, and a bicycle.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, that's great!" said Hawker. "Crazy emails, strange visitors in the middle of the Pacific, and now erupting volcanoes! Thank you, Arla!"
查看中文翻译
Gonzalo called out in Spanish to the people on the boats, then turned to Hawker and Jude. "Lots of people are leaving Isabela," he said. "They are afraid."
查看中文翻译
Hawker came back half an hour later. "You're not going to believe this," he told Jude. "The people here say there's a spaceship on Isabela. It came down ten days ago, right down inside Volcano Alcedo. And it's still there."
查看中文翻译
"How do they know that?" said Jude.
查看中文翻译
"There's an Australian, Dr Jim Miller, up on Alcedo. He works here, studying giant tortoises. He saw the spaceship, and now he's waiting for the visitors to come out."
查看中文翻译
"So the 'visitors' in those emails are extraterrestrials. ETs. Little green men from another planet. Oh dear," said Jude. "Can we go home now, Hawker?"
查看中文翻译
Hawker laughed. "No, we can't. We climb Volcano Alcedo," he said. "Talk to Dr Miller. Say hello to the ETs."
查看中文翻译
"Careful of the spaceship visitors, you mean?" said Jude.
查看中文翻译
"Oh dear," Jude said again. "I was afraid of that."
查看中文翻译
Gonzalo took them in the Sea-Lion up to Shipton Cove. There, very early the next morning, Hawker and Jude began their climb up the volcano.
查看中文翻译
"There is a path," Gonzalo told them, "but it is five hours to the top and hard climbing. And very, very hot. You must carry water -- two litres for one person for one day. You must sleep at the top and come down tomorrow -- but not when the sun is high in the sky. And be careful, please!"
查看中文翻译
It was a very hard climb. After two hours, they stopped under some trees. They drank some water and looked out over the blue sea. The black volcanic rocks under their feet were hot from the sun.
查看中文翻译
"I don't know about spaceships," smiled Gonzalo, "but Volcano Alcedo is always a little excited -- she is always doing something new."
查看中文翻译
"Mmm. Yes and no," said Hawker. Then, "Hey, Jude! Look! That animal, over there by that rock. What -- is -- it?"
查看中文翻译
"It's so beautiful here," said Jude.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, wow!" whispered Jude. "It's an iguana -- a Galápagos iguana. Isn't he wonderful?"
查看中文翻译
The iguana stared at them with its hot orange eyes, and did not move. Its body was about a metre long, and an orange-yellowy colour.
查看中文翻译
They climbed and climbed, and the sun got hotter and hotter. After three more hours they came to the top, and looked down into the great crater of Alcedo, two hundred metres deep and seven kilometres across. To the north and the south they could see more volcanoes, and across the sea to the west the island of Fernandina -- but they could not see Dr Miller or his camp.
查看中文翻译
"It looks about a thousand years old," said Hawker. "A very strange animal."
查看中文翻译
"Everything about this island is strange," said Jude.
查看中文翻译
It was hard walking over the black lava rock, and once Hawker nearly fell. Jude caught his arm.
查看中文翻译
"We need to go round the crater to the south," said Hawker. "It's another two hours' walk, the villagers said."
查看中文翻译
"We'd like to talk to you," said Jude quietly. "About the spaceship down in the crater. Why are you so angry?"
查看中文翻译
"Europe," said Hawker. "Europe is very interested in this spaceship. Please tell us about it."
查看中文翻译
Dr Miller looked at them, "Who do you work for?"
查看中文翻译
"Go away!" he shouted. "You're Americans, aren't you?"
查看中文翻译
"What are you doing here?" he said angrily.
查看中文翻译
"We weren't on top of a volcano then," said Jude.
查看中文翻译
"Why not?" said Hawker. "I carried you home once."
查看中文翻译
"Because nobody listens to me!" said Dr Miller. "Nobody believes me! The Americans say, 'Oh, crazy man!' The Australian government says, '"Get some sleep!' What can I do? Something very important is happening on this planet, and nobody is listening!"
查看中文翻译
At last they saw Dr Miller's camp, and ten minutes later they arrived. Dr Miller was short, very brown, and angry.
查看中文翻译
"No, we aren't," said Hawker. "We're European. How do you do, Dr Miller?"
查看中文翻译
"Well, we're here now, and we're listening," Jude said.
查看中文翻译
"Don't break a leg here," she said. "I don't want to carry you back down to the boat."
查看中文翻译
"Who did the emails come from?" asked Hawker.
查看中文翻译
They sat on the black lava rocks under the hot sun, and drank hot beer. Below them clouds of smoke and steam moved this way and that way across the crater. And was there, under those clouds, a spaceship from another planet?
查看中文翻译
"Ecuadorian friends," said Dr Miller. "Over on Santa Cruz. Look, I've got some beer here. You want one?"
查看中文翻译
"Ah, the emails did get through, then," said Dr Miller.
查看中文翻译
"But why here, Jim?" said Jude. "Why into a volcano?"
查看中文翻译
"And why are you angry with the Americans, Jim?" Hawker asked. "I know their beer's no good, but…"
查看中文翻译
"Sometimes I think I can see it down there," said Jim Miller, "but mostly I can't. It's a great white thing, and long legs came out of it when it came down."
查看中文翻译
"They watched this spaceship on their satellite. I know they did. They know it's here, but they don't want the world to know. They don't want people like you and me to meet any extraterrestrial visitors. Oh no! They want it all to be a big secret. Then they can be top dog."
查看中文翻译
"Who knows?" said Jim. "Perhaps they like hot places. Perhaps they need something from the hot lava."
查看中文翻译
"Can we climb down into the crater?" asked Hawker.
查看中文翻译
All evening Hawker and Jude stared down into the crater, but they could see nothing through the clouds of steam and dust. Just before the sun went down, Hawker saw something near the top of the crater and shouted to Jude, but it was only two of the giant tortoises. They came slowly past the camp and went away down the other side of the volcano. Later, four more came past, going the same way, moving slowly and quietly over the black rocks.
查看中文翻译
"Oh, Alcedo does that all the time," said Jim. "Then hot water comes up, and steam, dust -- sometimes a little lava, but not much. That's why there are always clouds in the crater. You can never see anything down there."
查看中文翻译
"Are you crazy? It's dangerous down there!" Jim said.
查看中文翻译
Just then there was a sudden noise, a BOOM deep below the ground. "What… what was that, Jim?" asked Jude.
查看中文翻译
Hawker and Jude did not sleep much. The rocks were hard, and below them they heard again and again the deep BOOM of the volcano. Late in the night they turned their radio on. It was very noisy, but through the noise they could hear a voice from Santa Cruz. Hawker listened hard.
查看中文翻译
"They're very strange animals!" said Jude.
查看中文翻译
Jude sat up. "Oh no! We're seven hours away from the boat. Let's get moving! Go and call Jim."
查看中文翻译
"Please come with us, Jim," said Jude. "Please. You can come back in a day or two."
查看中文翻译
But Jim Miller did not believe Santa Cruz radio. "It's the Americans again," he said. "They want us all to go away."
查看中文翻译
"They're talking about Volcano Alcedo!" he said. "They think it's going to erupt in the next twenty-four hours!"
查看中文翻译
Quickly, they went out to the Sea-Lion and climbed up onto the boat. "Go! Go! Go!" Gonzalo shouted to his men, and before long the Sea-Lion was a kilometre out at sea.
查看中文翻译
"You two go," said Jim, "but I'm staying right here, and watching that spaceship."
查看中文翻译
It was a hard climb down. When they got to the sea, they saw Gonzalo with the little boat. "Hurry!" he shouted. "Did you hear on the radio? Alcedo's going to erupt!"
查看中文翻译
Two hours later Volcano Alcedo erupted. There was asudden great BANG! -- and then clouds of dust flew up into the sky. Red-hot lava came out of the volcano's sides and ran down to the sea. The noise did not stop, and with every bang, rocks flew hundreds of metres up into the sky, then fell slowly back down to the ground. For hours the night sky was filled with great flowers of red and orange light.
查看中文翻译
"What happened to Dr Miller?" I asked.
查看中文翻译
"Poor Jim went to the great spaceship in the sky," Jude said. "Five hundred metres of red-hot lava fell on top of him."
查看中文翻译
It was a beautiful, and a terrifying thing to watch.
查看中文翻译
"And was there a spaceship in the volcano?"
查看中文翻译
"Yes," said Hawker.
查看中文翻译
"No", said Jude.
查看中文翻译
He looked at Jude, and they laughed. Then Jude looked at me. "What do you want to believe?" she asked. "They weren't very clever extraterrestrials, were they?-- sitting there in their spaceship in an erupting volcano!"
查看中文翻译
Hawker smiled. "Ah, but perhaps the spaceship left just before the volcano erupted. Gonzalo and I saw something in the clouds of dust -- a white light, moving very fast, faster than the dust. It went up very high."
查看中文翻译
"Well, I didn't see anything," said Jude. "And that's because there wasn't anything in that volcano!"
查看中文翻译
Hawker looked up into the blue Greek sky. "How do we know?" he said slowly. "One day someone, or something, is going to visit us from out there. Perhaps that was the first visit, all those years ago in the Galápagos. Who knows?"
