Ch7-The Frost Giant

CHAPTER SEVEN The Frost Giant HUFFFF, HUFFFF, HUFFFFF.… With each breath from the Frost Giant, a blast of cold wind swept through the hollow. Jack trembled. He felt chilled to the bone. HUFFFF, HUFFFF, HUFFFFF.… The giant's breathing grew louder and stronger. Jack squeezed his eyes shut as icy, wet wind

第七章冰霜巨人赫夫，赫夫，赫夫。随着冰霜巨人的每一次呼吸，一股冷风吹过山谷。 杰克颤抖。他感到冷到骨头。 赫夫，赫夫，赫夫。巨人的呼吸声越来越响，越来越强。 杰克紧紧地闭上了眼睛，像冰冷潮湿的风

rushed against his body. HUFFFF, HUFFFF, HUFFFFF.… Jack crouched lower and held on tightly to Annie. HUFFFF, HUFFFF, HUFFFFF.… The giant's breath howled like a hundred ghosts through the hollow. Jack thought of the blue Norn's words: He is a blind force of nature that spares nothing in his path.… But then the giant's breathing seemed to grow a bit softer. What's happening? Jack wondered. The breathing grew softer and softer. "Maybe he's going to sleep," Annie whispered.

冲向他的身体。赫夫，赫夫，赫夫。杰克蹲得更低，紧紧地抓住安妮。 赫夫，赫夫，赫夫。巨人的呼吸声就像一百个鬼魂在山谷里嚎叫。 杰克想起了蓝色的诺恩的话：他是一股盲目的自然力量，所向无敌。但是巨人的呼吸似乎变得柔和了一些。 发生什么事情了?杰克想知道。 呼吸变得越来越柔和。 “也许他要睡觉了，”安妮低声说。

The breathing became calm and steady. The wind died to a light breeze. "I think the Frost Giant is sleeping," Annie whispered. "We should try to sneak out of here." "Okay, but keep your eyes down. Just look at the ground!" whispered Jack. "Right," whispered Annie. Their heads bowed, Jack and Annie crept cautiously across the floor of the hollow and began climbing up toward the crack. Jack's teeth chattered, but he couldn't tell if it was from cold or fear. Suddenly a deafening roar shook the night! The Frost Giant screamed with windy rage! He was awake!

呼吸变得平静而稳定。 风停了，变成了微风。 “我想冰霜巨人在睡觉。”安妮小声说。 “我们应该试着溜出去。” “好吧，但是把眼睛放低。 看看地面！”杰克小声说。 “对，”安妮小声说。杰克和安妮低着头，小心翼翼地穿过洼地的地板，开始向裂缝爬去。 杰克的牙齿在打战，但他不知道是因为冷还是害怕。 突然，一声震耳欲聋的吼声震动了整个夜晚！冰霜巨人怒吼着！他醒了！

Jack was blown to the ground. He tried to crawl across the snow, but he didn't know which way to go, and he was afraid to look up. "Jack! This way!" Annie's voice called above the roar of the giant's breath. She helped him up and they struggled together against the wind. Finally they came to the crack in the wall. Jack and Annie scrambled through the crack. Outside, the wild wind knocked them over, and they tumbled down the side of the hill. The wind swirled the snow across the plain. "Annie! Annie!" Jack called. Where was she? Where was the sleigh? He couldn't see anything. He couldn't stay on his feet.

杰克被炸倒在地。 他试着爬过雪地，但他不知道该走哪条路，他不敢抬头看。 “杰克!这种方式!”安妮的声音盖过了巨人的呼吸声。 她把他扶起来，两人一起迎着风挣扎着。 最后他们来到了墙上的裂缝。 杰克和安妮从裂缝里爬了出来。 外面，狂风把他们吹翻了，他们从山坡上滚了下来。 风把雪吹过平原。 “安妮!安妮!”杰克叫。 她在哪里？雪橇在哪里？ 他什么也看不见。他站不稳了。

The wind roared even louder. An avalanche of snow came crashing down the hillside. When it hit the ground, the snow exploded into great clouds of white powder. "Jack! Jack!" Jack heard Annie's voice in the screaming wind. He tried to stand up. But snow kept falling on top

风吼得更响了。 雪崩般的雪从山坡上倾泻而下。 当它落到地面上时，雪爆炸成巨大的白色粉末云。 “杰克!杰克!”杰克在呼啸的风中听到了安妮的声音。 他试图站起来。但雪不停地落在上面

of him, until he was completely covered. As Jack lay buried under the snow, all his strength left his body. He knew he should dig his way out, but he was too cold and too tired. He was too tired to look for Annie. He was too tired to fight the Frost Giant. Instead, he closed his eyes and drifted into an icy sleep. Jack dreamed that cold fur was brushing against his face. He dreamed that a wolf was digging around him, nudging him, pushing him, sniffing him….

直到他完全被遮住。 当杰克被埋在雪下时，他所有的力量都消失了。 他知道他应该挖出去，但他太冷太累了。 他太累了，不想去找安妮。 他太累了，无法与冰霜巨人战斗。 相反，他闭上眼睛，进入冰冷的梦乡。 杰克梦见冷毛擦着他的脸。 他梦见一只狼在他周围挖洞，推他，推他，嗅他....
