双语读电影 《海洋奇缘》第14章 :这是你对我说过的最动听的话

Maui reached his hand to the sky to read the stars, and Moana raised her hand, too. Maui lifted her arm a little higher, placing it in just the right spot, showing her the proper way to navigate.

A moon bow shone brightly above as the ocean carried their little boat into the night.

With a little help from Maui, Moana managed to lead the way, navigating using the stars and the moon. He was proud of how well she did and believed she was well on her way to being a great wayfinder.

As dawn broke and a bright sun rose over the horizon, Maui sat perched on the mast of the boat, looking out through the haze. He watched Moana for a moment as she guided the boat, appreciating her skills. Then he looked back out at the sea, deep in thought. He turned to Moana and smiled.

“What?” Moana asked curiously.

“I figured it out,” Maui said, grinning. He jumped down to the deck of the boat, landing on both feet with a great thud. “The ocean used to love when I pulled up islands ... ’cause your ancestors would sail her seas to find ’em. All those new lands ... the people ... it was the water that connected them all. And if I were the ocean, I think I’d be looking for a curly-haired non-princess to start that again.”

“That is the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me,” said Moana. “Probably should’ve saved it for Te Fiti,” she added playfully.

Maui smiled. “I did.”

Maui gestured out over the boat. As the haze began to lift, Moana saw something in the distance. Beyond the rolling swells of the ocean, she could make out a clear ring of islands rising up out of the water. They created a barrier to Te Fiti. The great island goddess was resting within their protection. Moana couldn’t believe it ... they had actually made it.

“Moana of Motunui, I believe you have officially delivered Maui across the great sea,” Maui said. Then he turned to Mini Maui and said, “Round of applause.”

Mini Maui cheered, and a group of tattoo figures bobbed up and down as Maui imitated the roar of a crowd. “Haaaa ... Moanaaaa ... you’re so amazing.”

Moana chuckled, and the two looked at each other with pride, feeling good about how far they had come.

“It’s time,” Maui said, holding his hand out to her.

As Moana pulled the heart of Te Fiti from her shell necklace, a deafening, high-pitched noise broke the silence. Clouds of smoke and ash began to build.

Moana handed him the heart and said, “Go save the world.”

Maui took the heart and his magical hook. Then he transformed into a hawk. Flapping his mighty wings, he rocketed toward the rough waters around the barrier islands.

Moana cheered him on. As he approached the plumes of ash, a horrific face appeared through the clouds: Te Kā. The molten monster screamed and shrieked with rage as it revealed itself. It was the size of a mountain and grew as it moved, reaching up into the sky. Te Kā dripped with lava and flashed with the fires of Earth’s inner forces. It was a terrifying sight.

“Maui ... ,” said Moana, her body stiffening with fear.

Before Maui could even react, Te Kā knocked him hard, and his powers fritzed. He shook it off and flew higher and higher. Te Kā raised a molten fist and, with one ferocious swipe, knocked Maui from the sky.

“No!” Moana screamed.

As Maui plummeted toward the ocean, Moana filled her sail and raced to try and catch him. Maui hit the water hard, but Moana snatched him up as she sailed past. Then she ran back to the oar and started to steer toward a gap in the barrier islands.

“Wh-what are you doing?” asked Maui, confused.

“Finding you a better way in!” she said. She slalomed the boat and was lined up to break through the barrier islands, but Te Kā was approaching fast.

“We won’t make it!” shouted Maui. He grabbed the oar and tried to take control of the canoe. “TURN AROUND! STOP! MOANA, STOP!” he shouted.

Determined, Moana ignored him and continued to steer the boat, dead set on succeeding in their mission. Te Kā was gaining on them, racing faster and faster. When the monster was a few feet away, Maui shoved Moana, knocking her aside with the oar. But it was too late. Te Kā’s fist came down toward her. At the last second, Maui raised his hook high in the air to block it.

As Te Kā hit Maui’s hook, a huge shock wave rippled out, causing ocean swells that blasted Moana and Maui farther from Te Fiti. Te Kā lunged over the top of the waves, trying to reach them, but couldn’t. It was as if Te Kā was tethered to the barrier islands. The enormous tidal surge continued to carry Moana and Maui, pushing them into the darkness.
