雙語讀電影 《頭腦特工隊(duì)》第20章 :我們已經(jīng)無法控制萊莉的情緒了

Chapter  20
When Riley’s parents came home, they were surprised to find that she wasn’t there. “I’ll call her cell,” said Mom.
Riley’s cell phone rang as she walked through the streets of San Francisco. She looked down at who was calling.
“It’s Mom. She’s on to us. Where’s my bag?” asked Fear, looking for his paper bag. He felt as if he was about to hyperventilate.
“What do we do?” asked Disgust.
“Riley needs to get core memories. We keep going,” said Anger.
Riley ignored the call, put the phone in her pocket, and continued to walk toward the bus station.
Joy frantically ran through the aisles of Long-Term Memory, searching for Sadness as Family Island began to break apart behind her. “C’mon, Sadness, where are you? Okay. If I was Sadness, where would I be?” Joy looked around and imagined being Sadness. “Ohhh… everything is awful and my legs don’t work and you have to drag me around while I touch all the—” Joy said, imitating her. She slumped to the ground and kicked her leg up in the air. Then she saw something: a trail of blue memories on the bottom shelves! Joy followed the trail.
Meanwhile, Riley had made it to the station and was standing in line to get on the bus. Her cell phone rang. It was Mom again. Her phone read “15 missed calls from Mom.”
“Oh… it’s Mom again,” said Fear. “What do we do?” He began to breathe faster into his bag. BOOM! Family Island rumbled behind them. It was the only island still standing.
“This is madness! She shouldn’t run away,” said Anger.
“Let’s get this idea out of her head,” said Disgust. Fear and Anger agreed, and the three rushed to the console to unplug the idea.
Joy was still searching for Sadness in Long-Term Memory, following the trail of blue memories.
“Sadness!” she called.
Sadness turned around. “Joy?” She was surprised to see her, but she couldn’t face her. She ran away.
“Wait!” shouted Joy.
“Just let me go,” Sadness called, still running. “Riley’s better off without me!”
Joy chased Sadness into Imagination Land. Sadness toppled fries from French Fry Forest into Joy’s path to slow her down.
“Come back!” yelled Joy. Then she used a super long fry to pole vault over the mound of fallen fries.
She tried to follow close behind Sadness but lost her in Cloud Town. Suddenly, a shadow passed over Joy, causing her to look up. Sadness was flying overhead on a chunk of cloud, away from Headquarters. “What? Sadness!” Joy called.
“I only make everything worse,” Sadness cried as she drifted farther away.
“Wait—Sadness! We’ve gotta get you back to…” Joy chased after her, but the cloud was moving too fast.
Joy didn’t know how she was going to catch up with Sadness until suddenly, her eyes fell on the Imaginary Boyfriend generator.
Inside Headquarters, Anger struggled as he tried to untwist the idea bulb from the console. “It’s stuck!” he shouted.
“Oh, great,” said Disgust.
“Whaddaya mean it’s stuck?” said Fear, reaching out to try.
“Now what?” asked Disgust.
Then the console started to shut down! A strange blackness slowly crept across the console, like a dark, scary blob. “What is this?” cried Fear. Nobody knew.
Riley stepped onto the bus.
Thinking the idea bulb was making the console shut down, Fear struggled with it, but it wouldn’t budge. He even tried using a crowbar. As Fear strained to pry it out, he lost control and the crowbar whacked him in the face.
“Make her feel scared!” urged Disgust. “That’ll make her change her mind!”
Fear frantically pushed buttons and pulled levers on the mostly black console, but nothing worked.
“Guys,” he said, turning his gaze to Disgust and Anger. “We can’t make Riley feel anything.”
