So our salvation lay totally in the hands of the mysterious helmsmen steering this submersible, and if it made a dive, we were done for!

My sister made a dive at me, and fished me up by the hair, saying nothing more than the awful words, " You come along and be dosed" .

我姐姐向我俯冲过来，一把抓住我的头发，只说了一句可怕的话，“你过来服药”。

The maneuver did not succeed as well as she expected, however, for though just in the act of setting fire to a funeral pyre, the Professor dropped his torch, metaphorically speaking, and made a dive after the little blue ball.

可惜这个伎俩并不如她预计的那样成功，因为教授就在像要点燃一个火葬堆时掉了他的火把一样，扑下去拣那个蓝色绒线小球。
