《海底总动员-1》第13章

Nigel landed in a flurry of feathers on the dentist's windowsill. "Where's Nemo?" he shouted.

Nemo swam to the side of the tank that faced the window. "What is it?" he asked.

"Your dad's been fightin' the entire ocean lookin' for you," Nigel said, and told Nemo about his father's adventures. The other fish in the tank gathered around. They wanted to hear the fantastic story Nigel was telling.

Nemo couldn't believe it! His dad hardly ever left the anemone¹.

"Shark Bait! Your dad is Superfish!" cried Bubbles.

All the tank fish cheered. Then they turned to Nemo, but he wasn't there.

"Shark Bait?" called Gill. Suddenly he spied the little fish. He was inside the filter!

Nemo gripped a pebble² in his fin³. It was a bigger one than last time, and he was determined⁴ to do it right. This time he would jam the filter!

After all, his dad was Superfish. And if his dad could be a Superfish, then Nemo was going to be one, too!

He struggled for a moment; then— the pebble was in. Whirrrrrrr! The fan slowed, then stopped. All was quiet.

"You did it!" the tank fish cried as Nemo floated beside them.

"All right, gang," Gill said. "We have less than forty-eight hours before Darla gets here. This tank will get plenty dirty in that time, but we have to help it along any way we can. Be as gross as possible. We're gonna make this tank so filthy⁵ the dentist'll have to clean it."

Meanwhile, Marlin and Dory were saying good-bye to Crush and the other turtles.

"Get ready!" Crush told them. He twisted his head to look at the two fish riding on his back. "Your exit's coming up."

Marlin squinted⁶. "Where?"

Dory pointed⁷ up ahead. "I see it! Right there!"

Marlin gulped⁸. "You mean that swirling⁹ vortex of terror?"

"That's it, dude," Crush said.

The eddy¹⁰ swirled¹¹ around and around a little past the current. "Okay, Jellyman. Go!" cried Crush. He swerved¹², and Marlin and Dory tumbled from his shell, into the eddy.

They slid down the giant slide formed by the whirling current. Not far off, they could see Crush and the others still riding the EAC.

"Hey, look!" Dory cried. "Turtles!" "Swim straight on through Sydney!"

Crush directed them as they slid. "You tell your little dude I said hi."

Wait! Marlin remembered Nemo's question about the sea turtles.

"Crush! How old are you?" he shouted. "A hundred and fifty, dude! And still young! Rock on!" Crush called as the current swept him off.

Marlin and Dory turned away. Now they faced dark, murky¹³ water. "We going in there?" Dory asked.

Marlin nodded. For the first time in a long while, he didn't feel nervous in the least. "We're gonna just swim straight," he said.

 

大嘴哥扑棱着翅膀落在牙医的窗台上。“尼莫在哪儿?”他大喊。

尼莫游到水族箱靠窗的那边。“什么事?”他问道。

“你老爸为了找你，已经打遍了整片大海。”大嘴哥说，还把他父亲的历险经历告诉了尼莫。水族箱里其他的鱼也聚拢过来。他们也想听大嘴哥讲述的精彩故事。

尼莫觉得难以置信！他的老爸几乎都没离开过海葵屋。

“鲨鱼饵！你老爸是超级鱼!”泡泡大叫。

水族箱里所有的鱼都欢呼起来。然后他们转向尼莫，但是他不在那儿了。

“鲨鱼饵?”吉哥大叫。突然，他发现了这条小鱼。他在过滤器里面！

尼莫用他的鳍紧紧抓住一块鹅卵石。这块比上次的那块更大，而且他下定决心要成功。这次他一定要把过滤器堵住！

毕竟，他老爸是超级鱼。如果他老爸能成为超级鱼，那么尼莫也要成为一条超级鱼！

他吃力地游了一会儿；然后，鹅卵石进去了。呼呼呼呼呼呼！扇叶慢了下来，然后停下了。一片安静。

“你成功了!”当尼莫从水族箱里的鱼儿身边浮出水面时，他们大喊。

“好的，伙伴们，”吉哥说，“在达拉到来之前，我们还有不到48个小时。到那时，水族箱会变得非常脏，但是我们还要力尽所能地做点事情。尽量粗野一些。我们要让水族箱变得脏乱不堪，牙医不得不清洗它。”

与此同时，马林和多莉在跟龟龟和其他海龟告别。

“准备好!”龟龟告诉他们。他扭转脑袋看着骑在自己背上的两条鱼。“你们的出口就要到了。”

马林眯着眼睛看：“在哪儿?”

多莉指着前方：“我看见了！就在那儿!”

马林倒吸一口冷气：“你说的是那个打着转的恐怖漩涡?”

“就是它，伙计。”龟龟说。

漩涡在洋流前面一点儿，不停地打着转。“好了，水母游侠。出发!”龟龟大喊。他一个急转弯，马林和多莉从他的壳上摔下来掉进了漩涡。

他们从旋转的水流形成的巨大滑梯上面滑了下来。不远处，他们可以看见龟龟和其他海龟还在东澳大利亚洋流上漂浮。

“嘿，快看!”多莉大喊，“海龟!”“一直往前游，游过悉尼了!”

他们往下滑的时候，龟龟指引着他们。“替我向你的小家伙问好。”

等等！马林想起来尼莫关于海龟的问题。

“龟龟！你多大年纪了?”他大喊。“150岁，伙计！我还年轻着呢！继续冒险!”洋流把他卷走时，龟龟喊道。

马林和多莉转身离开了。现在他们面对着黑暗浑浊的海水。“我们要去那儿吗?”多莉问。

马林点了点头。长久以来第一次，他丝毫不觉得紧张。“我们只管向前游。”他说。
