6 Code Red!

6 CODE RED! "Speedy!" Annie whispered loudly. Speedy looked up at the tree where Jack and Annie were hiding. He jumped off the rhino calf and leapt to the tree. He scuttled up to them. "You're safe!" Annie whispered, hugging the bush baby. Speedy jabbered excitedly. "I know, a baby rhino! It's so sweet!" Annie said to him. "Not so loud," whispered Jack. "That big rhino must be Rosie. The little one is her calf." "I know!" said Annie. The baby rhino was only about two feet tall. She hadn't grown a horn yet. But she looked just like her mother. She had wrinkled dark-gray skin, a large head, and upright ears. "She's a miniature Rosie. A Rosita!" said Annie. "A what?" whispered Jack.

6红色代码！“快速!”安妮大声耳语道。 飞毛腿抬头看了看杰克和安妮藏身的那棵树。 他从犀牛幼崽上跳下来，跳到树上。 他快步走到他们跟前。“你是安全的!”安妮低声说，抱着灌木丛里的婴儿。 斯皮迪兴奋地说。 “我知道，一只小犀牛！”太甜蜜了！”安妮对他说。 “别那么大声。”杰克小声说。 “那头大犀牛一定是罗茜。 小的是她的孩子。” “我知道！”安妮说。小犀牛只有两英尺高。 她还没有长角。 但她长得很像她妈妈。 她有着皱巴巴的深灰色皮肤，大大的脑袋，直立的耳朵。 “她是迷你版的罗西。罗西塔！”安妮说。 “什么？”杰克小声说。

"Rosita—it means little Rose in Spanish," said Annie. "Shh! Rosie's coming back," whispered Jack. "Remember a mother rhino can be dangerous!" The mother rhino walked over to her calf and nuzzled her. Then she lay down in the grass on her side. "Oh, yeah… she's sooo dangerous," Annie said, grinning. "Seriously," Jack said. "We have to stay in the tree." While Rosie rested, her calf climbed halfway onto her back. The baby pawed her mother, as if trying to get her to play. Annie giggled softly, and Jack couldn't help grinning. A baby rhino might be the cutest animal in the world, he thought.

“罗西塔——在西班牙语里是小玫瑰的意思，”安妮说。 “嘘!罗茜回来了，”杰克小声说。 “记住，母犀牛可能很危险！”母犀牛走到她的孩子身边，用鼻子蹭她。 然后她侧身躺在草地上。 “哦，是啊……她太危险了，”安妮笑着说。 “说真的，”杰克说。“我们必须呆在树上。” 当罗西休息时，她的小腿爬到了她的背上。 婴儿用爪子抓她妈妈，好像想让她玩似的。 安妮轻轻地笑了起来，杰克也忍不住笑了。 小犀牛可能是世界上最可爱的动物，他想。

Rosie finally grunted and heaved herself up. She ate some grass. Then she began moving away from the trees. The calf followed on her stumpy little legs. The two rhinos rounded the cluster of bushes. Jack and Annie couldn't see them anymore. "Now we have to climb down," said Annie. "So we can track them and tell the rangers where they are." "Okay," said Jack. "But we have to stay far away from them. Remember rhinos can move fast. Don't let her see you. And, Speedy"—he spoke sternly to the bush baby—"don't talk!" Speedy swiveled his head and looked at Annie. "Just whisper," she said. "Come on!" Speedy hopped onto Annie's back. He put his little arms around her neck. Annie carefully climbed down from the tree. Jack followed. They crept over the grass and rounded the thorny thicket. They stood at a safe distance and watched the two rhinos. Rosie and her calf had ambled down to the creek. They both sank into the muddy water. Jack and Annie watched the rhinos wallow in the mud. Wildebeests grazed in the distance. Zebras

罗茜终于哼了一声，爬了起来。 她吃了一些草。然后她开始离开树林。 小牛犊用粗壮的小腿跟在后面。 两只犀牛绕过灌木丛。 杰克和安妮再也看不到他们了。 “现在我们得爬下去了，”安妮说。 “这样我们就可以追踪它们，告诉护林员它们在哪里。” “好吧，”杰克说。“但我们必须远离他们。 记住犀牛可以快速移动。 别让她看见你。还有，斯皮迪，”他严厉地对灌木丛中的婴儿说，“别说话！”飞毛腿转过头看着安妮。 “小声点，”她说。“来吧!”飞毛腿跳上了安妮的背。 他伸出小胳膊搂住她的脖子。 安妮小心翼翼地从树上爬下来。 杰克跟着。他们爬过草地，绕过荆棘丛生的灌木丛。 他们站在一个安全的距离，看着两只犀牛。 罗茜和她的幼崽漫步到小溪边。 他们俩都掉进了浑水里。 杰克和安妮看着犀牛在泥里打滚。 角马在远处吃草。 斑马

roamed the tall grass. Overhead, birds with long, slender wings swooped through the blue sky. It was a perfect scene, Jack thought. Beautiful and peaceful. All the creatures were doing what they were born to do. "Look at that," said Annie, pointing at the sky. "Is that a bird?" Jack squinted in the sunlight. He saw something in the distance flying toward them. Speedy started jabbering wildly. "That's not a bird," said Jack. "A small plane?" said Annie. As the thing in the sky drew closer, they could hear whapping and chopping sounds. Jack felt sick. "It's not a plane," he said. "What, then?" said Annie. "A helicopter," said Jack. "A chopper." "Oh, no! Poachers!" cried Annie. "Code red!!" "Yes!" said Jack. "This must be the chopper that Jomo and Shani were after." Speedy whistled and shrieked. "Rosie! We have to save her!" said Annie. "I know!" said Jack. "How? How?" Annie said.

漫步在高高的草丛中。头顶上，长着细长翅膀的鸟儿在蓝色的天空中飞翔。 这是一个完美的场景，杰克想。 美丽而宁静。所有的生物都在做他们生来该做的事。 “看那儿，”安妮指着天空说。 “那是一只鸟吗？”杰克在阳光下眯起眼睛。 他看见远处有什么东西朝他们飞来。 斯皮蒂开始疯狂地胡言乱语。 “那不是鸟，”杰克说。 “小飞机？”安妮说。 当天空中的那个东西越来越近时，他们能听到拍打和砍砍的声音。 杰克觉得不舒服。“这不是飞机，”他说。 “那又怎样？”安妮说。“一架直升机。”杰克说。 “直升机”。“哦,不!偷猎者！”安妮叫道。 “红色代码! !”“是的！”杰克说。 “这一定是乔莫和沙尼要找的那架直升机。” 斯皮迪吹着口哨，尖叫着。 “罗西!我们得去救她！”安妮说。 “我知道！”杰克说。“如何? 如何?”安妮说。

"Get her to a hiding place!" said Jack. "In the thornbushes?" said Annie. "Better if we get them under that tree we were in!" said Jack. "The leaves might keep them from being seen from the sky!" "How do we do that?" cried Annie. "I don't know!" said Jack. "Wait," said Annie. "What if we yell at Rosie's baby? We make Rosie mad at us. She chases us. We run. Her baby follows." "We can't outrun a rhino," said Jack. "You said they can run thirty miles an hour!" "We'll get a head start!" said Annie. "And we'll lead Rosie and her baby back to our tree! Let's do it!" The terrible chopper noise was growing louder. "Jack, it's the only plan we've got," said Annie. Jack looked from the tree to the helicopter to the rhino. "Right. Okay," he said. "Let's go!"

“把她带到一个隐蔽的地方！”杰克说。 “在荆棘树丛里？”安妮说。 “最好把它们放到我们刚才呆过的那棵树下！”杰克说。 “这些叶子可能会让他们从天上看不到！”“我们怎么做呢？”安妮叫道。 “我不知道！”杰克说。 “等等，”安妮说。“如果我们对罗西的孩子大喊大叫呢？” 我们让罗西生我们的气。她追我们。 我们运行。她的孩子跟在后面。” “我们跑不过犀牛，”杰克说。 “你说他们每小时能跑三十英里！”“我们会抢先一步的！”安妮说。 “我们会把罗茜和她的孩子带到我们的树上！”我们开始吧！”可怕的直升机声越来越大。 “杰克，这是我们唯一的计划，”安妮说。 杰克看了看树，又看了看直升机，又看了看犀牛。 “正确。好吧，”他说。“我们走吧!”
