Chapter 1: No Good Reason
My name is Junie B. Jones. The B stands for Beatrice. Except I don't like Beatrice. I just like B and that's all.
Here is a story for you.
It is called "Once Upon a Time My Grandfather Named Frank Miller Went to the Store and He Bought Me Some Mittens."
Once upon a time my grandfather named Frank Miller went to the store and he bought me some mittens. They are made out of black furry fur.
And guess what? It was not even my birthday! Or Christmas! Or Valentine's Day! Plus the mittens were not even on sale!
Grampa Miller just bought them for no good reason! And that is the bestest reason I ever heard of!
That's how come I love that guy very much.
Plus also he can skip.
The end.
I love that story a real lot.
'Cause guess why?
I didn't even make it up, that's why!
That adventure actually happened to me! My grampa Miller really did buy me mittens for no good reason!
And they are gorgeous, I tell you!
When I first opened them, I got filled with glee.
Glee is when you run. And jump. And skip. And laugh. And clap. And dance on top of the dining room table.
Then your mother takes you down from the table. And she carries you to your room for a time-out.
Time-outs kill the glee.
I wore my new mittens the whole entire morning. Plus also I wore them to afternoon kindergarten.
I wore them with my attractive winter jacket. Only it wasn't actually cold out. Only who even cares? 'Cause that outfit looked very beautiful together.
I showed my mittens to my bestest friend named Grace. Also, I showed them to a variety of strangers.
After I got to school, I held my hands over my head. And I runned all over the playground.
"LOOK, EVERYBODY! LOOK AT MY NEW MITTENS! MY GRAMPA FRANK MILLER BOUGHT THEM FOR NO GOOD REASON!"
I waved them all around in the air.
"HOW MANY CHILDREN SEE THESE LOVELY THINGS? RAISE YOUR HANDS," I hollered.
Nobody raised their hands.
"HOW MANY CHILDREN THINK THESE MITTENS ARE GORGEOUS? PLEASE COME FORWARD!" I yelled.
Nobody came forward.
I put my hands back down and walked to that Grace.
"I couldn't create any interest," I said very glum.
Only guess what? Just then, I spotted my other bestest friend named Lucille!
I ran my fastest to greet her.
"LUCILLE! LUCILLE! LOOK AT MY GORGEOUS NEW MITTENS! SEE THEM? THEY ARE MADE OUT OF BLACK FURRY FUR!"
Lucille petted them.
"My family has lots of fur," she said. "My mother has a fur cape. And my aunt has a fur jacket. And my uncle has a fur hat. Plus my nanna just bought a brand-new mink coat. Only she can't wear it outside the house. Or else people will throw paint on her."
My mouth came all the way open.
"Why, Lucille? Why will people throw paint on your nanna?" I asked.
Lucille crossed her arms.
"Don't you know anything, Junie B. Jones? It's because people who love furry animals don't like them being made into coats for nannas."
Just then, I felt relief in me. 'Cause I'm not even a nanna, that's why. And besides, my mittens aren't even made out of real furry animals. They are made out of fake furry animals. And so those kind don't even count.
All of a sudden, the bell rang for school.
I zoomed to my room like a speeding rocket.
'Cause guess why?
More people to show my mittens to!
That's why!
好的,以下是一本不包含《Junie B. Jones Is Not a Crook No.9 瓊斯不是騙子》的圖書的詳細簡介,字數大約1500字。 --- 《星塵編年史:失落的維度》 作者: 埃莉諾·凡爾納 插畫傢: 馬庫斯·裏德 適閤年齡: 9-13歲 類型: 奇幻冒險、科幻、青少年小說 頁數: 420頁 裝幀: 精裝 --- 【書籍簡介】 在靜謐的月光鎮,時間似乎被施瞭魔法,永遠定格在一個舒適、可預測的頻率上。然而,對於十二歲的奧利弗·芬恩來說,這種“永恒的平靜”僅僅是一層薄薄的僞裝。奧利弗並非一個普通的少年。他擁有一雙對“異常”異常敏感的眼睛,他能察覺到世界細微的、不和諧的顫動——那是現實結構正在被拉扯的信號。 奧利弗的生活在一個寒冷的鞦夜被徹底顛覆瞭。他一直將傢中的閣樓視為一個堆滿舊物和塵埃的禁地,直到那晚,他無意中觸碰到瞭一個被遺忘在祖父遺物中的黃銅六分儀。這個六分儀,刻滿瞭奧利弗從未見過的、仿佛星圖又仿佛電路圖的復雜紋路,突然爆發齣幽藍的光芒,並在他麵前撕開瞭一個短暫的、如同水波般的裂口。 裂口消失瞭,但留下的不僅僅是空氣的震動。一個微小的、散發著金屬光澤的幾何體,掉在瞭奧利弗的地毯上。這個物體帶著一種強烈的、無法抗拒的引力,瞬間將奧利弗拉入瞭一場遠超他想象的宏大冒險。 第一捲:維度之蝕 奧利弗很快發現,他觸碰到的並非一個簡單的玩具,而是“維度鑰匙”的碎片之一。他的祖父,一位被鎮上居民視為古怪隱士的退休天文學傢,實際上是一個秘密的“界域守衛者”。他的任務是維護散布在地球不同節點上的“維度錨點”,以防止不同現實之間的物質和概念發生災難性的交叉汙染。 而現在,隨著祖父的突然失蹤和鑰匙碎片的激活,維度間的屏障開始鬆動。 奧利弗的第一個綫索指嚮瞭月光鎮圖書館地下深處一個被封鎖的閱覽室。在那裏,他遇到瞭一個意想不到的盟友——一個自稱“織影者”的生物,名叫賽拉斯。賽拉斯並非人類,他來自一個被稱為“迴響域”的地方,一個純粹由被遺忘的故事和未實現的可能構成的維度。賽拉斯擁有令人驚嘆的知識,他能“閱讀”空氣中的殘餘能量,並以一種古老、富有韻律的語言與奧利弗交流。 賽拉斯警告奧利弗:一股被稱為“虛空吞噬者”的力量正在蘇醒。這股力量並非一個具體的敵人,而是一種熵的具現化,它渴望將所有不同的維度拉入一個無差彆的虛無之中,抹去“差異”和“存在”本身。為瞭阻止它,奧利弗必須找到並重新校準分散在地球上,甚至跨越維度的另外三塊“維度錨點”。 穿越迷霧與時空 奧利弗和賽拉斯的旅程從月光鎮的寜靜街道開始,迅速擴展到瞭超越常理的領域。 他們的第一個目標是位於撒哈拉沙漠深處一座被沙暴掩埋的古老天文颱。在這個天文颱中,他們發現第二個錨點被嵌入瞭一颱巨大的、由某種未知的晶體製成的星盤之中。為瞭激活它,奧利弗必須解開一個由時間悖論構成的謎題——他必須精確地計算齣在某一個特定時刻,太陽、兩顆遙遠恒星和一個被認為已滅絕的彗星將如何對齊。這個過程充滿瞭危險,因為虛空吞噬者的先鋒——那些被稱為“迴溯體”的模糊形體——開始追蹤他們的能量信號。迴溯體會模仿奧利弗記憶中的影像,試圖通過情感弱點動搖他的決心。 在穿越瞭沙漠的酷熱和虛空能量的乾擾後,他們成功校準瞭第二個錨點。然而,這次激活暴露瞭他們的行蹤。他們被一個名為“計時官”的組織盯上瞭。“計時官”自詡為宇宙秩序的維護者,他們認為奧利弗這個“外來變量”正在危及平衡,並派齣瞭一隊裝備精良的特工來“收迴”維度鑰匙。 浮空的城市與內在的鏡像 接下來的旅程將奧利弗帶到瞭一個完全超乎想象的地方——“蒼穹之島”。這是一個漂浮在南太平洋上空的巨大結構,由失落的亞特蘭蒂斯技術驅動,它內部的環境完全模擬瞭“靈感之域”的法則。在這裏,奧利弗必須麵對的挑戰不再是外部的敵人,而是他自己內心深處的恐懼和不確定性。 在蒼穹之島的中央,第三個錨點被設計成一個“心靈鏡像站”。奧利弗必須進入一個由他的潛意識投射齣的空間。在這個空間裏,他見到瞭他心中最害怕的場景:月光鎮被虛無吞噬,而他因為自己的魯莽而成為唯一的幸存者。賽拉斯隻能在外部提供指導,奧利弗必須獨自剋服內心的愧疚感和自我懷疑。 在這次內省的掙紮中,奧利弗不僅學會瞭如何控製他那份與生俱來的“異常感知力”,還領悟瞭祖父留下的真正遺産:維度之力並非靠蠻力控製,而是需要與宇宙的“和聲”保持同步。他學會瞭如何“傾聽”維度之間的共振,而不是試圖去“命令”它們。 終局:重塑邊界 集齊瞭三塊激活的錨點後,奧利弗和賽拉斯追蹤到瞭虛空吞噬者的核心——一個位於地球磁極深處、正在逐漸擴大裂縫的“概念黑洞”。 最終的對決,是一場關於存在意義的辯論,而非簡單的戰鬥。虛空吞噬者試圖用“簡單即是完美”的邏輯引誘奧利弗放棄抵抗,許諾他一個沒有痛苦、沒有選擇、絕對安穩的世界。 奧利弗拒絕瞭。他意識到,正是那些“差異”——那些不和諧的顫動、那些未被填滿的空間、那些未完成的故事——纔構成瞭宇宙的美麗和價值。他運用新掌握的維度同步能力,將三塊錨點同時激活,形成瞭一個強大的“和諧場”。這個場域不是用來摧毀虛空吞噬者,而是將其“重新分類”——將無差彆的熵重新定義為其在宇宙能量循環中的必要組成部分,從而穩定瞭維度間的邊界。 當一切歸於平靜,蒼穹之島緩緩下降,月光鎮恢復瞭它那看似永恒的寜靜。然而,奧利弗已經不再是那個躲在閣樓裏觀察世界的少年。他現在是新一代的界域守衛者,肩負著保護現實結構完整性的重任。 賽拉斯沒有留下,他選擇留在地球的邊緣,成為奧利弗的顧問和聯絡人,因為他明白,一旦一個維度被觸碰,它就永遠不再是孤立的瞭。 《星塵編年史:失落的維度》是一部關於發現內在力量、理解宇宙復雜性以及為何我們必須擁抱不完美和差異的史詩級冒險。它邀請年輕的讀者們審視我們習以為常的世界,並思考:如果世界比我們想象的要廣闊得多,我們又將如何定義自己在這個無限空間中的位置?本書充滿瞭令人驚嘆的想象力、嚴謹的科學概念僞裝,以及對友誼和責任的深刻探討。 (本書特色:內含精美的手繪地圖和祖父留下的神秘符號錶,為後續的係列故事埋下伏筆。)
