故事原文 

Young Carl Fredricksen sat in the darkened movie theater, wearing his leather flight helmet. He straightened in his seat as a newsreel flickered onto the screen. The newsreels were Carl’s favorite part of going to the movies. They were full of information about people, places, and exciting events going on in the world.

昏暗的电影院里坐着一个头戴皮革头盔名叫卡尔·费迪逊的小男孩。这时，屏幕一闪，跳出一则新闻，他不由得挺直了身板。到电影院看新闻短片，是小卡尔的一大乐趣。因为这些新闻短片融汇了世界各地的风土人情，讲述着激动人心的重大事件。

“Movietown News presents … ‘Spotlight on the Adventure’!” came the voice of the announcer. “Our subject today: Charles Muntz.”

“您正在收看的是‘影城新闻’隆重推出的《聚焦探险》节目！”影厅里响起了播音员的声音，“今天我们的主角是：查尔斯·蒙兹。”

Carl leaned forward. Charles Muntz was a famous adventurer—and Carl’s hero.

卡尔把身子向前倾了倾。查尔斯·蒙兹不仅是一位著名的探险家，在卡尔心中，他更是一位伟大的英雄。

“The beloved aviation pioneer lands his dirigible, the Spirit of Adventure, in New Hampshire this week, completing a yearlong expedition into the lost world! This lighter--than-air craft was designed by Muntz himself. And what has Muntz brought back this time?”

“本周，我们敬爱的航空先驱乘着他的飞船‘探险精神号’在新罕布什尔州着陆了，完成了在遗失世界为期一年的探险！我们现在看到的这架航空器是蒙兹自行设计的，它比空气还要轻。那么，蒙兹这次归来给我们带来了什么东西呢？”

The black-and-white film showed an enormous blimp landing in an open field. Then Muntz appeared on the screen. He looked tall and handsome in a leather jacket and a flight helmet just like Carl’s.

黑白电影屏幕上，一架巨大的飞船在一片开阔的空地着陆了。这时，蒙兹出现在了屏幕上。他身穿皮夹克，头戴一顶和卡尔一样的飞行头盔，看起来高大英俊。

“Adventure is out there!” Muntz exclaimed into the camera. He lowered his goggles over his eyes and gave a thumbs-up.

“探险就要开始了！”蒙兹对着镜头欢呼道。他把眼镜从头顶拉下来架在眼睛上，并竖起了大拇指。

Carl lowered his goggles, too, wishing he were a grown-up. Then he could go have some adventures, just like Charles Muntz, traveling all over the world, discovering new things, and bringing back priceless treasures.

在眼睛上，并竖起了大拇指。卡尔也把眼镜从头顶拉了下来，他多么渴望自己现在已经长大成人了啊！那样的话，他就可以去探险了，可以像查尔斯·蒙兹一样周游世界，探寻新鲜事物，发掘无价珍宝。

“Gentlemen, I give you the Monster of Paradise Falls!” Muntz exclaimed on the movie screen. A curtain next to him dropped, revealing the skeleton of a giant bird. It was Muntz’s latest discovery.

“先生们，我带来了天堂瀑布里的怪物！”蒙兹在电影屏幕上高声宣布。这时，他身旁的幕帘落了下来，一副巨型大鸟的骨架呈现在人们眼前。这就是蒙兹的新发现。

“But what’s this?” the announcer said. “The National Explorers Society accuses Muntz of fabricating the skeleton!”

“但这是什么？”播音员发出疑问，“全国探险家协会指控蒙兹伪造生物骨架！”

Carl watched, horrified, as the Explorers Society removed Muntz’s photo from its Wall of Fame.How can the Explorers Society doubt Muntz? Carl thought.He’s the greatest explorer of all!

卡尔专注地看着，吓了一跳，因为他看到探险家协会把蒙兹的照片从荣誉墙上摘了下来。探险家协会怎么能怀疑蒙兹？卡尔心想。他可是世界上最伟大的探险家！ 

But Muntz didn’t give up. “I promise to capture the beast … alive!” he cried on the flickering screen. “And I will not come back until I do.” Carl smiled as the crowd around him cheered.Adventure is out there, all right,Carl thought. He just knew it.

但蒙兹没有放弃。“我保证捉到这个怪物……而且是捉活的！”在闪烁的屏幕上，蒙兹叫道，“不然，我誓不返回！”周围的人群欢呼起来，卡尔脸也露出了微笑。好啊，探险就要开始了，卡尔默默地对自己说。他就知道会这样。
