1 Way of the Eagle

1 WAY OF THE EAGLE "Wake up, Jack." Jack opened his eyes. The light was dim outside his window. His sister, Annie, was standing by his bed. "What's going on?" he asked. "I heard a weird sound outside," said Annie. "And guess what I saw!" "What?" said Jack. "An eagle!" said Annie. "A huge eagle. It was sitting on top of the lamppost in our yard." "No way," said Jack. "Yes, way," said Annie. "I'll bet Morgan sent him." Jack sat up in bed. He threw off his covers.

“醒醒，杰克。” 杰克睁开眼睛。他窗外的光线很暗。 他的妹妹安妮站在他的床边。 “发生了什么事？”他问。 “我听到外面有奇怪的声音，”安妮说。 “猜猜我看到了什么！”“什么？”杰克说。 “一只鹰！”安妮说。“一只大鹰。 它就在我们院子里的灯柱顶上。” “不可能，”杰克说。“是的，当然，”安妮说。 “我敢打赌是摩根派他来的。” 杰克从床上坐起来。他掀开被子。

He stared at them with piercing eyes. "Oh, man, that's a golden eagle," whispered Jack.

“我来了！”他说。“快点。 我们得在爸妈起床前赶回家。 在门廊见。”安妮溜出了房间。 杰克爬下床。他换上牛仔裤、运动衫和运动鞋。 他抓起他的背包。然后他蹑手蹑脚地下了楼，走到前廊。 安妮在寒冷潮湿的空气中等着。 黎明破晓了。“那里！”她低声说。 她指着他们房前的灯柱。 一只鹰栖息在上面。 除了脖子上有一圈金棕色的羽毛外，它是深褐色的。 他用锐利的目光盯着他们。 “哦，天哪，那是一只金鹰，”杰克低声说。

The eagle spread his wings. He rose into the early-morning sky and flew toward the woods. "Follow him!" said Jack. Jack and Annie ran down the porch steps. They crossed their yard and dashed down the sidewalk after the eagle. "There!" said Annie, looking up. She

老鹰展开翅膀。 他升上清晨的天空，向树林飞去。 “跟着他！”杰克说。杰克和安妮跑下门廊的台阶。 他们穿过院子，沿着人行道追赶老鹰。 “那里！”安妮抬起头说。 她
