5 Ch5-Barrh! Barrh!

CHAPTER FIVE Barrh! Barrh! Jack splashed into the blue sunlit sea. He sank to the bottom and then bobbed back up. He coughed and pushed his hair out of his eyes. Annie was treading water nearby. "Hey!" she called. "Hey!" Jack sputtered.

第五章呸!Barrh !杰克溅起水花，跳进阳光普照的蓝色大海。 他沉到水底，然后又浮了上来。 他咳嗽了一下，把头发从眼睛上拨开。 安妮在附近踩水。 “嘿!”她喊道。“嘿!”杰克气急败坏的说。

"I was wrong! You were right!" Annie said. She sounded thrilled. "The Spider Queen just wanted to help us!" "Yeah," said Jack. He shook the seawater off his glasses and put them back on. "She must be really lonely!" said Annie. "She probably feels like she has to hide in that cave because she's so scary-looking!" "Maybe," said Jack. He looked around the second cove. Purple shadows stretched over a rocky seashore beneath the cliffs. The sun had moved farther across the sky. "We'd better hurry!" said Jack. "What do we do now?" "Read the rhyme!" said Annie.

“我错了!”你说得对!”安妮说。 她听起来很激动。“蜘蛛女王只是想帮助我们!”“是的，”杰克说。 他把眼镜上的海水抖掉，重新戴上。 “她一定很孤独!”安妮说。 “她可能觉得她必须躲在那个山洞里，因为她看起来太可怕了!”“也许吧，”杰克说。 他看了看第二个小海湾。 紫色的影子在悬崖下的岩石海岸上伸展开来。 太阳在天空中移动得更远了。 “我们最好快点!”杰克说。 “我们现在怎么办?”“读这首押韵诗!”安妮说。

Jack pulled the shell out of his pocket. Treading water, he read the next line in Merlin's poem: And swim with a selkie clothed in green. "What's a selkie?" said Annie. "Who knows?" said Jack. He looked at the cliffs and the shore. Is a selkie a fish? A person? What? he wondered. Then Jack saw two dark shapes speeding like fat torpedoes below the surface of the water. They were coming straight toward him and Annie. "Watch out!" Jack shouted. "Yikes!" Annie yelled. Jack and Annie swam out of the way as the creatures moved swiftly past them. Suddenly two

杰克从口袋里掏出了贝壳。 他踏着水，读着梅林诗中的下一行:与绿衣水妖同游。 “什么是水妖?”安妮说。 “谁知道呢?”杰克说。他看着悬崖和海岸。 selkie是鱼吗?一个人吗? 怎么啦？他想知道。接着，杰克看见两个黑影像胖胖的鱼雷一样在水面下疾驰而过。 他们径直朝他和安妮走来。 “小心!”杰克喊道。 “呀! !”安妮喊道。杰克和安妮在这些生物迅速从他们身边经过的时候游开了。 突然两个

sleek gray heads popped above the surface. They had wide snouts and long white whiskers. They had tiny, wrinkly ears and big, dark eyes. "Seals!" cried Annie. The two seals turned their heads like periscopes. When they saw Jack and Annie, they opened their mouths, showing their small, pointed teeth. They seemed to be smiling. "Hi, guys!" said Annie. Barrh! Barrh! the seals barked. Then they rolled through the water and bumped Jack and Annie with their noses. They barked again joyfully, then darted toward the shore. "Come on!" cried Annie. "Let's play with them!"

光滑的灰色脑袋露出水面。 它们长着宽大的鼻子和长长的白胡须。 它们的耳朵又小又皱，眼睛又大又黑。 “海豹!”安妮叫道。两只海豹像潜望镜一样转过头来。 当他们看到杰克和安妮时，他们张开嘴，露出他们的小尖牙。 他们似乎在微笑。 “嗨，伙计们!”安妮说。Barrh !Barrh !海豹在吠叫。 然后他们在水里滚来滚去，用鼻子撞了撞杰克和安妮。 它们又高兴地叫了一声，然后向岸边冲去。 “来吧!”安妮叫道。“我们一起玩吧!”

"We don't have time to play!" said Jack. But Annie had already started after the seals, swimming toward the rocky beach. "Annie! Stop!" called Jack. "We have to hurry and find the selkie! And the Sword of Light! Before nightfall! Or King Arthur will meet his doom…." Jack's voice trailed off. Annie didn't hear him. She and the two seals had reached the shore and were getting out of the water. The seals clumsily hauled their chubby

“我们没有时间玩!”杰克说。 但安妮已经开始追赶海豹，朝岩石海滩游去。 “安妮!住手!”杰克叫道。 “我们得赶快去找selkie!”还有光之剑!在夜幕降临之前!否则亚瑟王将难逃厄运....” 杰克的声音变小了。安妮没听见。 她和两只海豹已经到了岸边，正从水里出来。 海豹笨拙地拖着胖乎乎的身子

bodies onto a big rock and flopped down. Annie climbed onto the rock, too. "Annie, come on!" shouted Jack. It could be as late as four o'clock now, he thought. And there was still a lot they had to do before nightfall. "Let's rest for a minute!" Annie called. She sat near the seals and patted their shiny heads as if they were big dogs. The seals barked. Actually, Jack wanted to rest, too. He felt really tired. Maybe we could rest for a minute on the rock with the seals, he thought, then search for the selkie. "Well, okay," he shouted. "But just for a quick minute!"

尸体倒在一块大石头上，扑通一声倒了下来。 安妮也爬上了岩石。 “安妮，快点!”杰克喊道。 现在可能已经晚到四点钟了，他想。 在天黑之前，他们还有很多事情要做。 “我们休息一会儿吧!”安妮叫。 她坐在海豹旁边，拍拍它们闪亮的头，好像它们是大狗一样。 海豹在吠叫。事实上，杰克也想休息。 他感到很累。也许我们可以和海豹一起在岩石上休息一会儿，他想，然后再去找selkie。 “好吧，好吧，”他喊道。“但就一分钟!”
