Adai put his hand on Kiah's arm. " I'm sorry about Zadak, " he said.

阿岱把手搭在凯的臂膀上。“扎达克的事真让我难过。”他说。

" Adai! You never stop talking about Adai. What can he do? " Rilla said. She felt angry.

“阿岱！你怎么老是说起他，他能干什么呢? ”瑞拉非常生气。

" Did you phone Adai? " Kiah asked.

“你给阿岱打电话了吗？”凯问。

" We know about Adai, Commander, " Rilla said. " But someone needs to talk to Earth Commander again."

“我们知道阿岱的事，司令。”瑞拉说，“但是得有人再去跟地球司令谈谈。”

" 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。”

" How can Adai help us? " Rilla asked. " He can't shoot all the guards here."

“阿岱怎么帮助我们呢？”瑞拉问，“他也不能把这儿所有的卫兵都打死。”

Captain Seru finished the last sandwich. " Let's leave that to Adai, " she said. " We can do nothing."

塞鲁船长吃完了最后一个三明治。“这个问题就留给阿岱吧，”她说，“我们什么也做不了。”

" 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。”

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。”

Kiah began to talk. " Two years ago, Adai told you about the holes in the AOL. Now they're worse. The AOL is break-ing up over Europe. Please look at these numbers and this satellite picture."

“两年前阿岱曾跟您谈过臭氧层上的洞。现在情况更糟了。欧洲上空的臭氧层已经开裂。请您看看这些数据和这张卫星照片。”

" 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。”
