2 Ch2-This Is Camelot

CHAPTER TWO This is Camekot? Jack shivered. He could see his breath in the dim light. Annie was staring out the window. "This is Camelot?" she said. Jack looked out with her. The tree house had landed in a grove of tall, bare trees. A huge, dark castle loomed against the gray sky. No light shone

第二章这里是卡米科特? 杰克颤抖。在昏暗的灯光下，他可以看到自己的呼吸。 安妮凝视着窗外。 “这就是卡梅洛特?”她说。 杰克和她一起往外看。树屋坐落在一片光秃秃的高大树木丛中。 灰色的天空映衬着一座巨大的黑城堡。 没有光线照射

from its windows. No banners waved from its turrets. Wind whistled through its tall towers, sounding sad and lonely. "It looks deserted," said Annie. "Yeah," said Jack. "I hope we came to the right place."

从窗户望出去。塔楼上没有旗帜飘扬。 风呼啸着穿过高塔，听起来悲伤而孤独。 “看起来没人住，”安妮说。 “是的，”杰克说。“我希望我们来对地方了。”

Jack pulled his notebook and pencil out of his pack. He wanted to write a description of the dark castle. "Hey, I see someone," said Annie. Jack looked out the window again. A woman was crossing the castle drawbridge. She wore a long cloak and carried a lantern. Her white hair blew in the wind.

杰克从背包里拿出笔记本和铅笔。 他想写一篇关于黑暗城堡的描写。 “嘿，我看到有人了，”安妮说。 杰克又看了看窗外。 一个女人正在穿过城堡的吊桥。 她穿着一件长斗篷，提着一盏灯笼。 她的白发在风中飘动。

"Morgan!" said Annie and Jack together. They laughed with relief. Morgan hurried over the frost-covered ground toward the grove of trees. "Annie? Jack? Is that

“摩根!”安妮和杰克一起说。 他们如释重负地笑了。摩根匆匆走过被霜覆盖的地面，向树林走去。 “安妮?杰克?是,

you?" she called. "Of course! Who'd you think?" shouted Annie. She started down from the tree house. Jack threw his notebook into his backpack. He followed Annie down the rope ladder. When they reached the icy ground, they ran to Morgan and both threw their arms around her. "I was looking out a window in the castle and saw a bright flash in the orchard," said Morgan. "What are you doing here?" "You didn't send the tree house for us?" asked Jack. "With a Royal Invitation to spend Christmas in Camelot?" asked Annie. "No!" said Morgan. She sounded alarmed.

你?”她叫道。“当然!你以为是谁?”安妮喊道。 她从树屋上下来。 杰克把笔记本扔进背包里。 他跟着安妮下了绳梯。 当他们到达结冰的地面时，他们跑向摩根，两人都伸出双臂搂住了她。 “我当时正从城堡的窗户往外看，看到果园里有一道闪光，”摩根说。 “你在这儿干什么?”“你没有给我们送树屋吗?”杰克问。 “收到邀请去卡梅洛特过圣诞节?”安妮问。 “不!”摩根说。她听起来很惊慌。

"But the invitation was signed with an M," said Jack. "I don't understand…," said Morgan. "We are not celebrating Christmas in Camelot this year." "You aren't?" said Jack. "Why not?" said Annie. A look of sadness crossed Morgan's face. "Do you remember when you visited my library and gave King Arthur the hope and courage to challenge his enemy?" she asked. "Sure," said Jack. "Well, Arthur's enemy was a man named Mordred," said Morgan. "After you left, Arthur defeated him, but not before Mordred's Dark

“但是请柬上署名的是M，”杰克说。 “我不明白……”摩根说。 “我们今年不在卡梅洛特庆祝圣诞节了。” “你不是吗?”杰克说。“为什么不呢?”安妮说。 摩根的脸上掠过一丝悲伤。 “你还记得你参观我的图书馆，给了亚瑟王挑战敌人的希望和勇气吗?”她问道。 “当然，”杰克说。“嗯，亚瑟的敌人是一个叫莫德雷德的人。”摩根说。 “在你离开之后，亚瑟打败了他，但不是在莫德雷德的黑暗之前
