╗ ╚ 【書名】：The Fantastic Four神奇四俠系列 全3卷 【作者】：David Peter / Wolfman Marv等 【類型】：電影原著、漫畫改編小說 【簡介】： 還記得 60 年前這套卡通片嗎? [yt]Eue8XngYdzM[/yt] 原作卡通一早已出現的敵人，系列小說裡卻沒蹤影 [yt]kgb5ZLgRPDs[/yt] It took a moment or two more for what he was saying to her to get through, and then it dawned on her. Her mouth puckered in an "ooooo" fashion, and then her face became a mask of concentration. Slowly but surely, she began to fade out. 過了一兩秒鐘，他對她說的話才傳達到她的腦海中。她張大嘴巴，發出「ooooo」的聲音，隨後臉上露出專注的表情。慢慢地，她的身影逐漸消失了。 "What the hell is this?" demanded the first cop. "A magic show?" 「這到底算什麼東西？」第一名警察問道。「魔術表演嗎？」 It was perfect. Sue, invisible, could maneuver past the police, get to Ben, let him know that help was here and guide him to where Reed and Johnny would be waiting for him. Together they could explain what happened, sort things out, and make people realize that they weren't dealing with some sort of bizarre monster but instead a horribly unfortunate man. 一切都很完美。蘇隱形無蹤，可以輕易躲過警察的攔截，找到本，告訴他救援已經到達，並引導他到瑞德和尊尼所在的地方。他們一起就能解釋發生了什麼事，把事情弄清楚，讓大家明白：對方並非什麼可怕的怪物，而只是個極其不幸的人而已。 Except that Sue's clothes weren't turning invisible along with her. The cops were gaping, trying to figure out how she was pulling off the optical illusion. "Sue, your clothes," Reed said under his breath. "Lose them." 只是，蘇的衣服並沒有和她一起變得隱形。警察們都張大了嘴巴，試圖弄明白她究竟是如何創造出這種視覺錯覺的。「蘇，你的衣服……」瑞德低聲說。「把衣服脫掉吧。」 "What?" came her voice, and then she must have looked down and realized. 「什麼？」她的聲音傳了過來，接著她應該是低頭看了一下，才明白過來。 "Sue, please, there's no time . . ." 「蘇，求你了，沒有時間了……」 "What a time not to be drunk," muttered Sue. 「真是個不該喝醉的時刻啊，」蘇低聲說。 Reed had the distinct feeling from her tone of voice that she wasn't thrilled with the idea, but she was as determined to aid Ben as Reed was. Quickly she unbuttoned her blouse, and her pants dropped to a heap around her feet. Floating underwear hovered in midair, and then they suddenly lurched forward as Sue apparently lost her footing for a moment. She lost her concentration as well and suddenly Reed was greeted with the sight of Sue Storm, fully visible, in bra and panties. Her arm was around her back as she had been clearly about to undo the bra, and perhaps it was that daunting prospect of nudity that had caused her to lose focus. 從蘇的語氣中，瑞德明顯感覺到她並不喜歡這個主意。不過，她和瑞德一樣，都決心要幫助本。蘇迅速解開了上衣的扣子，褲子也掉在了腳邊。她的內衣懸浮在半空中，但隨後蘇突然失去了平衡，向前跌倒了。她也因此分了心。此時，瑞德眼前是全裸的蘇·史東——她正準備解開胸罩。或許，正是對於裸體的恐懼讓她失去了平衡。 Whatever the reason, she was now in full view of the police, Reed, passersby, and—most unfortunately—Johnny, whose face went the color of curdled milk. "This is so wrong in so many ways," he said. 無論出於什麼原因，現在的她已經完全暴露在警察、瑞德、路人的視線之下——最不幸的是，尊尼也看到了她。尊尼的臉色變得像凝固的牛奶一樣慘白。「這種做法錯得離譜，」他說。 Realizing that everyone could see her perfectly, Sue froze in place, mercifully not releasing the hooks on the bra. Reed's mind raced. Say something appropriate and helpful. 蘇意識到每個人都清楚地看到她了，於是待在原地動彈不得，所幸她沒有鬆開胸罩上的掛鉤。瑞德的腦子飛速轉動著：得說些得體又有用話才行。 "You've been working out," he observed. 「你一直在鍛鍊身體呢，」他說。 Sue glared at him. "Shut up." 蘇怒視著他。「閉嘴。」 Okay, that apparently wasn't it. 好吧，看來不是這樣。 She took a deep breath, closed her eyes, focused, concentrated with all her will. Nothing happened. Embarrassed, furious, she looked daggers at him and said in a steadily rising voice, "Any more ideas, Reed? Maybe you should strip down next, see how it feels to have fifty people staring—" 她深吸了一口氣，閉上眼睛，全神貫注地努力著。但什麼都沒有發生。她又羞又怒，用銳利的目光瞪著他，聲音逐漸提高：「還有什麼主意嗎，瑞德？或者你該再脫掉一些衣服，看看被五十個人盯著看是什麼感覺——」 And she disappeared entirely, leaving only floating underwear as a guide to her whereabouts. The collective gasp from everyone around her was all the cue she needed to realize what had happened. "Oh well then ..." 然後她就完全消失了，只留下內衣漂浮在水中，作為她行蹤的線索。周圍所有人驚呼出聲，這聲音讓她意識到究竟發生了什麼。「唉，那就算了……」 An instant later, the underwear was on the ground and Sue Storm was nowhere to be seen. The cops turned and looked at Reed in complete astonishment. Reed shrugged as if he was just as surprised as anyone else. Johnny, for his part, still looked dazed and mumbled, "I'm gonna need serious therapy." 一瞬間之後，那件內衣就掉在了地上，而蘇·史東則不見了蹤影。警察們驚訝地轉頭看著瑞德。瑞德聳聳肩，好像他自己也和其他人一樣感到驚訝。至於尊尼，他仍然顯得茫然不已，喃喃自語道：「我需要接受專業的心理治療了。」 There was a cough from nearby, and the cops looked in its direction. There was the briefest glimpse of a female form outlined by wafting smoke and then it was gone again. The cops turned around back to start demanding answers of Reed and Johnny, but they were too slow. Reed and Johnny had also disappeared. 附近傳來了咳嗽聲，警察朝那個方向看去。在飄蕩的煙霧中，可以隱約看到一個女性的身影，但很快又消失了。警察轉過身來，想要繼續質問瑞德和尊尼，但為時已晚。瑞德和尊尼也消失了。 Ben wanted nothing but to get off the bridge, but that seemed to be problematic at best. He toyed with the idea of just jumping off, suspecting that the fall might not hurt him. On the other hand, he was so heavy that he might well sink into the riverbed and be completely unable to get back to the surface before he drowned. 本只希望趕快離開那座橋，但這似乎極其困難。他考慮過直接跳下去，覺得掉下去應該不會受傷。不過，他的體重實在太大，很可能會沉入河底，然後在溺亡之前無法再浮上水面。 Besides, he wanted to find a way to help the people all around him. Which sounded like a futile endeavor considering that when he came near them, they just ran screaming in the other direction from which he was trying to guide them. They were just as likely to charge into fire, flame, and death to get away from him as they were to appreciate whatever rescue efforts he might extend. 此外，他還想找到方法來幫助身邊的人們。但這似乎是徒勞無功的——每當他試圖接近他們時，他們都會尖叫著往相反的方向逃跑。他們寧願衝進火海、陷入死亡，也不願意接受他的任何救援。 He crouched behind a truck, trying to decide what to do. He was extremely annoyed with himself because of what was going through his head at that moment, yet he couldn't help it. He kept thinking that if only Reed was there to do the thinking for him, he wouldn't have to deal with this mess. Reed would tell him what to do, and Ben would be just fine with that. 他蹲在卡車後面，努力思考著該怎麼辦。此刻他心中充滿了懊怒，但又無法控制自己的想法。他不停想著，要是瑞德能在他身邊替他做決定就好了，這樣他就不必處理這一團糟的局面了。瑞德會告訴他該怎麼做，而本也會乖乖照做。 Except Reed wasn't there, and besides, Ben was only in this disaster because of Reed. In fact, if Reed did show his face here, Ben might just as likely try to break his scrawny neck. 只是瑞德並不在場，而且，本會遭遇這場災難，全都是因為瑞德。事實上，如果瑞德真的出現在這裡，本很可能會試著扭斷他的脖子。 Suddenly Reed's face was directly in front of him. Ben let out a startled yelp and cried out, "What the—!" 突然，瑞德的臉出現在他眼前。本驚叫一聲，喊道：「搞什麼啊——！」 "Ben, are you okay?" Reed demanded. 「本，你還好嗎？」瑞德追問道。 Ben was about to reply, but his mind was still upon his desire to throttle Reed. That was why it took a moment to sink in that Reed's head was there, but his body was nowhere in the immediate vicinity. 本正要回答，但他的腦子裡想的仍是想要掐死瑞德的念頭。因此，過了好一會兒他才意識到：瑞德的頭雖然在那裡，但他的身體卻不見了。 He stepped back and gaped at Reed in bewilderment. He looked in the direction of where his neck was stretched and saw the rest of his body wrapped around a car, perhaps to provide counterweight so that his extended head wouldn't cause him to tip over. As if this bizarre sight wasn't enough, Reed appeared to have a bundle of woman's clothing wrapped up in one arm. 他退後一步，困惑地瞪著瑞德。他順著瑞德伸長的脖子方向看去，發現瑞德的軀幹纏在了一輛汽車上，大概是為了保持平衡，避免因頭部過於前伸而導致身體翻倒。更奇怪的是，瑞德的一隻手臂上還纏著一捆女人的衣服。 "Am I okay?" Ben demanded, trying to give a reasoned answer in the face of so inane a question. '"You wanna explain that?" He gestured at Reed's elongated neck and body, although he didn't even want to begin to approach the woman's clothing issue. Then he pointed at himself. "Or this? What the hell am I? 'Cause I sure ain't Ben anymore!" 「我還好嗎？」本問道。面對如此愚蠢的問題，他試圖給出合理的回答。「你能解釋一下嗎？」他指了指瑞德那細長的脖子和身體。至於那個女人的穿著問題，他甚至不想去多想。然後他指了指自己：「或者這個呢？我到底算什麼？反正我肯定不再是以前的本了！」 Reed opened his mouth... 瑞德張開了嘴… 系列書共3卷，包括—— 卷1：Fantastic Four神奇四俠 2005電影版小說 出版日期：2005年7月 Dr. Richard led a team to space to study cosmic storms.
