5 Get in Line!

5 GET IN LINE! Winter sunlight shone on metal helmets and jackets. It shone on broad belts, swords, daggers, spears, and red-and-gold-painted shields. "No one's in here," said Annie. "That's weird," said Jack. "Or lucky," said Annie. She grinned at him. "Finally we can do what warriors do." "What? You mean we should try on their armor?" said Jack. Annie nodded. "Everything will be too big," said Jack. "Who cares?" said Annie. "No one will see us." "Right," Jack said nervously. He really

5 .排队！冬日的阳光照在金属头盔和夹克上。 它闪耀在宽阔的腰带、剑、匕首、长矛和漆成红色和金色的盾牌上。 “这里没人，”安妮说。 “真奇怪，”杰克说。 “或者幸运，”安妮说。她朝他咧嘴一笑。 “我们终于可以像战士一样了。” “什么?你是说我们应该穿上他们的盔甲？”杰克说。 安妮点点头。“一切都会变得太大，”杰克说。 “谁在乎呢？”安妮说。“没人会看到我们的。” “好的，”杰克紧张地说。 他真的

wanted to try on the armor. "Actually, it might not be too big. A Roman soldier had to be at least five feet six inches. That's only five inches taller than me. And about eight inches taller than you. So if we—" "Got it! Let's do it!" said Annie. "Okay!" said Jack. "Quick, before anyone shows up." Jack and Annie hurried through the wide entrance of the armory. They pulled off their capes and dropped them on the ground. "Where do we start?" said Annie. They looked around at shelves lined with body armor and helmets. In the center of the room were weapons and shields on wooden stands. "Upper body armor," said Jack. He crossed to a shelf with metal jackets. The jackets were made of overlapping strips of iron. "This one looks pretty small." He lifted the gray metal jacket off the shelf. "Whoa! It's heavy!"

我想试穿盔甲。 “实际上，它可能不会太大。 罗马士兵至少要有5英尺6英寸高。 那只比我高五英寸。 比你高八英寸。 所以如果我们——”“明白了！让我们做吧！”安妮说。 “好吧！”杰克说。“快点，在别人出现之前。” 杰克和安妮匆匆穿过军械库宽阔的入口。 他们脱下斗篷，扔在地上。 “我们从哪里开始？”安妮说。 他们环顾着摆满防弹衣和头盔的架子。 房间中央的木架上放着武器和盾牌。 “防弹衣。”杰克说。 他走到一个放着金属夹克的架子前。 夹克是用重叠的铁条做成的。 “这个看起来很小。” 他把灰色的金属夹克从架子上拿下来。 “哇!它很沉!”

Annie held out her arms. Jack helped her slide the armor over her tunic. The jacket reached her knees! "Help!" she said, nearly sinking to the floor. Jack laughed. "You look like a cartoon character," he said. "It's crazy heavy!" said Annie. "Want to take it off?" said Jack. "Not yet," she said. "Put yours on."

安妮伸出双臂。杰克帮她把盔甲套在外衣上。 夹克长到膝盖！“救命！”她说，几乎要倒在地上。 杰克笑了。“你看起来像个卡通人物，”他说。 “好重啊！”安妮说。 “想把它摘下来吗？”杰克说。 “还没有，”她说。“穿上你的。”

Jack chose one of the metal jackets for himself and slipped his arms into it. The

杰克为自己挑了一件金属夹克，把胳膊塞了进去。 的

metal was freezing cold! "Oh, man, how can warriors run or fight in this?" said Jack. "It weighs a ton!" "And they march with really heavy packs on their backs, too!" said Annie. "And carry shields!" said Jack. "Huge shields!" "Unbelievable!" said Annie. "Now helmets!" said Jack. He studied the row of helmets. He picked one for himself and lowered it onto his head. "Oh, man, at least another fifteen pounds!" he said. "Let me try one," said Annie. Jack picked a helmet for Annie and lowered it onto her head. "Help!" she squeaked. "I can hardly see or hear." Annie's helmet partially covered her eyes, ears, cheeks, and mouth. Jack laughed. "I can hardly see, either," he said. "But I feel braver wearing this stuff.

金属是冰冷的！“哦，天哪，战士们怎么能在这种情况下奔跑或战斗呢？”杰克说。 “它有一吨重！”“而且他们还背着很重的背包行进！”安妮说。 “还要带盾牌！”杰克说。 “巨大的盾牌!”“难以置信！”安妮说。 “现在戴头盔！”杰克说。他仔细看了看那排头盔。 他为自己摘了一个，放在头上。 “哦，天哪，至少再加十五磅！”他说。 “让我尝尝，”安妮说。 杰克给安妮挑了一顶头盔，戴在她的头上。 “救命！”她尖叫道。“我几乎看不见也听不见。” 安妮的头盔部分遮住了她的眼睛、耳朵、脸颊和嘴巴。 杰克笑了。“我也几乎看不见，”他说。 “但我觉得穿上这些衣服更勇敢了。

Don't you?" "No," said Annie. "I'm dying in here." Her voice was muffled. "Okay, let's take everything off," said Jack. Suddenly voices and the sound of running feet came from outside. "Full armor! No packs!" a man shouted. "Emperor's parade begins at high noon!" "Yikes," said Annie. "Get out of their way!" Jack said in a panic. He pulled Annie into the shadows. Warriors poured into the armory. Jack recognized the cooks and craftsmen among the others. "Mars the Victor," Annie said. Her voice was muffled inside her helmet. "Quiet!" Jack whispered. "Belts! Helmets! Shields!" someone bellowed. A stocky centurion stood at the entrance of the armory. Oh, no, thought Jack. Another centurion!

你不?”“不，”安妮说。 “我在这里快死了。”她的声音低沉。 “好吧，我们把所有的东西都脱了。”杰克说。 突然，外面传来了说话声和奔跑的脚步声。 “完整的铠甲!不要背包！”一个男人喊道。 “皇帝的阅兵式在正午开始！”“哎呀，”安妮说。 “别挡他们的路！”杰克惊慌地说。 他把安妮拉进阴影里。 战士们涌进军械库。 杰克认出了厨师和工匠。 “战神战神，”安妮说。 她的声音被她的头盔遮住了。 “安静!”杰克小声说。“腰带!头盔!小盾！”有人吼道。 一个矮胖的百夫长站在军械库的入口处。 哦，不，杰克想。另一个百夫长!
