[07:42.32]The sacrifice of herbivorous animals was supposed to be part of their ritual

[07:45.88]用食草动物献祭据说是她们巫术的一部分,

[07:49.45]Every home therefore put harmless animals on their doorstep

[07:52.28]因此各家都把不伤人的动物置于门阶上,

[07:55.12]hoping that their home would be spared from the chaos 33.

[07:57.48]希望自家不会发生混乱。

[08:24.91]由于有些加入马戏团的人身怀祖传绝技,

[08:27.69]hitherto never-attempted feats 39 of daring were always being performed.

[08:34.32]High-flying stuntswere popular.

[08:36.60]高空飞行特技表演非常受欢迎,

[08:38.87]Herculean physical feats were the standard.

[08:41.09]艰难的人体表演只是普通节目,

[08:43.31]But it was the high tech plan to hijack 35 a real plane

[08:45.84]而劫持一架从马戏团上空飞过的真飞机却是一个高科技计划,

[08:48.38]as it flew over the circus that really hinted at something more than heterodox.

[08:51.76]只有它才真正暗示出某种极其异端的做法。

[08:55.14]It was no hit-and-miss plan.

[08:58.07]这可不是一个随意想出的计划

[09:01.00]This hijacking was going to be done by locals hired by the circus announcer

[09:08.44]and remembered as part of his heritage.

[09:10.62]并作为他的遗产的一部分被人铭记。

[09:16.04]劫机小组的各位成员按等级排序

[09:19.28]was the highlight of the event.

[09:21.01]是整个事件中最有趣的部分,

[09:22.73]That was because the announcer's son,only 17 years old,

[09:26.11]因为马戏团报幕员的儿子只有17岁,

[09:29.50]was directing men ten to twenty years older than himself.

[09:32.42]却在指挥比自己大10到20岁的人。

[09:35.35]In hindsight,all agreed that this was the obvious reason for the hiccup 40.

[09:38.98]事后想来,大家一致认为这显然是使劫机暂时中断的原因。

[09:42.61]The holistic plan was executed brilliantly.

[09:45.94]整个劫机计划执行得极为出色。

[09:49.27]When the plane was hijacked 41 it flew over the circus and did two aerial loops

[09:53.01]飞机被劫持时,它正在马戏团上空飞行,还在空中盘旋了两圈。

[09:56.74]The passengers had a scare when that happened.

[09:59.11]意外发生时乘客们吓了一跳。

[10:01.47]When one of the hired men broke out of the hierarchy 42

[10:04.20]但是,当一位受雇者打破等级制度,

[10:06.93]and told the pilot to do it again,however,

[10:09.12]让飞行员再转圈时,

[10:11.32]no one tried to hinder him but the announcer's son.

[10:14.05]除了报幕员的儿子之外,没人想阻止他,

[10:16.78]The man yelled out his name and told him to leave him alone.

[10:20.41]于是那人大声喊着报幕员儿子的名字,让他别管他。

[10:24.04]When the hijacking was complete and the whole team escaped successfully

[10:28.57]劫机完成了,整个小组都成功地逃离了,

[10:33.10]everyone thought it was a heritage to be proud of.

[10:35.68]大家都认为这件事值得自豪。

[10:38.25]Unfortunately the police had heard the name of the announcer's son.

[10:41.88]不幸的是,警察听到了报幕员儿子的名字,

[10:45.51]They attacked the circus like a hive of bees and arrested all involved.

[10:48.89]于是一窝蜂似地突袭了马戏团,逮捕了所有涉案人员。

[10:52.28]A hijacking wasn't so hilarious to them!

[10:54.71]对他们来说劫机可没那么好玩!
