Chapter　3

第三章

 

After Iron Man, Cap, Hulk, and Thor's ship disappeared into the sky, the first thing Sam did was send a message to the other Avengers, asking them to meet. Within minutes he walked into the Avengers Tower's briefing room to find them already waiting for him.

钢铁侠一行四人所乘坐的战斗机消失在天空后，山姆做的第一件事就是给其他复仇者发了一条信息，召集他们开会。几分钟后，他走入复仇者大厦指挥室，发现大家都已经在等他了。

 

“Thanks for coming, everybody,” said Sam as he went to the head of the table. Looking around, he was proud to be on a team with each of these heroes.

“感谢各位的到来。”山姆边说边走到桌子的首座。他环顾四周，与各路英雄为伍让他自豪不已。

 

There was Natasha Romanoff, the Black Widow, a S.H.I.E.L.D. master spy and specialist in infiltration. Next to her was Clint Barton, AKA Hawkeye, not just the best archer in the world but also well-versed in several forms of combat.

娜塔莎·罗曼诺夫，代号黑寡妇，神盾局的间谍大师和渗透专家。她旁边是克林特·巴顿，代号鹰眼，不仅是举世无双的弓箭手，也是格斗战术的专家。

 

Across from Hawkeye were the Twins—two young Avengers who had recently joined the team and who had incredible powers. Pietro Maximoff—Quicksilver—could move with superhuman speed, and his sister, Wanda Maximoff—the Scarlet Witch—could use magic powers to blast back enemies.

鹰眼的对面是那对双胞胎——两位拥有强大力量、刚加入联盟的年轻人。皮特罗·马克西莫夫——代号快银——能以超人的速度移动，他的姐姐旺达·马克西莫夫——代号绯红女巫——能用魔法力量击退敌人。

 

Rounding out the team was Vision, an android built with a digital intelligence so advanced that he was actually a form of artificial life. Vision had superhuman strength and superhuman reflexes, as well as the abilities to phase through solid walls, shoot powerful beams, and repair himself when injured.

站在人群外的是幻视侠，他是一个用先进的数字智能构建的机器人，实际上是一种人工生命。幻视侠拥有超乎寻常的力量和反应力，能够穿墙而过，发射高热射线，以及修复自身伤口。

 

“What's the story, Sam? Why the emergency message?” asked Hawkeye.

“山姆，发生了什么事？紧急情况是什么？”鹰眼问道。

 

Sam used holo-display to help get his teammates up to speed on the possible threat from space.

借助全息展示，山姆让队员们快速了解来自太空的潜在威胁。

 

“So what will we need to do if Iron Man and the others find this Thanos guy?” asked the Scarlet Witch, nervously.

“如果钢铁侠他们找到了这个叫灭霸的家伙，我们需要做什么呢？”绯红女巫紧张地问道。

 

“We're just going to have to wait for news from the advanced team,” responded Falcon, “but the Avengers have beaten Thanos before, so we know we can again.” Falcon cleared his throat after saying the villain's name. Thanos was feared by everyone, including this Avenger.

“我们现在只能等待先锋部队的消息。”猎鹰回应道，“但是复仇者们曾打败过灭霸，所以我们深信可以再胜一次。”说完这个恶棍的名字，猎鹰清了清嗓子。每个人都怕灭霸，猎鹰也一样。

 

“Okay. We wait for information. . . . What do we do in the meantime?” asked Widow.

“好吧，那我们等消息吧……与此同时我们做什么呢？”黑寡妇问道。

 

Falcon had been expecting this question. This group of world-saving heroes—this group of Avengers—was looking to him for leadership. Everything had been happening so quickly that Falcon hadn't had time to put together a plan, but he was quick on his feet.

猎鹰一直都在期待有人提这个问题。这帮拯救世界的英雄——这帮复仇者——正寻求着他的领导。事发突然，猎鹰还没来得及拟订一份计划，但是他很快站起身来。

 

“I was thinking of something like this . . .” said Sam as he presented a rotating patrol schedule that gave every Avenger duties and also time in the training room, as well as time off.

“我是这样想的……”山姆一边说，一边拿出一张轮流巡逻安排表，表中注明了每位复仇者的职责、训练室值班时间以及休息时间。

 

“With the others out in space, there's more world for each of us to protect,” admitted Sam, “but I know that if we work together, we can handle it.”

“鉴于他们四个去太空执行任务，我们保护世界的担子更重了，”山姆说道，“但我知道，如果我们携手共进，一定能应付。”

 

Quicksilver reviewed Sam's plan, highly pleased with his organizational skills. “Yeah, I think we can do this,” he confirmed.

快银浏览了一下山姆的安排表，对他的组织能力很满意。“是的，我认为我们可以做到。”他肯定地说。

 

Even Vision was impressed: “Your proposal operates at near-peak proficiency, Sam Wilson.” That was really high praise, coming from the android.

连幻视侠都被他所折服，说：“山姆·威尔逊，你的提议堪称完美啊。”能得到机器人的认可，那可真是很高的表扬了。

 

As the Avengers ended their meeting and headed off to take care of their various responsibilities, Falcon smiled. He was starting to feel pretty good about this whole “leadership” thing. Maybe Cap was right: maybe he was a natural leader.

会议结束后，复仇者们开始各司其职，猎鹰不禁面露笑容。他开始对整个领导事件感觉好极了。也许队长说得对，他天生就是个领导者。
