Ch8-Room of the Tree

CHAPTER EIGHT Room of the Tree. "Nooooo!" cried Jack. Jack ran to Beauty and yanked hunks of paper from her mouth. Annie dropped to her knees and picked up the torn pieces strewn around the camel's big feet. "The treasure's ruined!" moaned Annie. Jack was stunned. "I shouldn't have left my bag here," he said.

第八章树屋 “不！”杰克叫道。杰克跑到美女身边，从她嘴里拽出大块的纸。 安妮跪了下来，捡起散落在骆驼大脚周围的碎片。 “宝藏毁了！”安妮呻吟道。 杰克惊呆了。“我不应该把包留在这里，”他说。

"No, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have gone back and bragged to those kids," wailed Annie. "I should have acted more humble, like Merlin said." Annie sounded like she was about to cry. "It's okay," said Jack. But he knew it wasn't. The book was destroyed. They'd

“不，都是我的错。我不应该回去对那些孩子吹牛，”安妮哭诉道。 “我应该像梅林说的那样，表现得更谦虚些。” 安妮的声音听起来像是要哭了。 “没关系，”杰克说。但他知道事实并非如此。 这本书被毁了。他们会

failed in their mission. "Maybe—maybe we can fix it," said Annie. Jack shook his head. "No, we can't," he said. "It's completely destroyed. It can't be fixed." Annie looked up. "What—what did you just say?" she said. "I said it can't be fixed," said Jack. A big grin crossed Annie's face. "Right! It can't be fixed!" she said. "Help me gather up all these pieces!" "Why?" said Jack. Had Annie gone nuts? "Just do it! Quick!" said Annie.

任务失败了。“也许——也许我们能修好它，”安妮说。 杰克摇了摇头。“不，我们不能，”他说。 “它完全被摧毁了。 这是无法修复的。”安妮抬起头来。 “你刚才说什么？”她说。 “我说过它修不了了，”杰克说。 安妮的脸上掠过一个大大的笑容。 “正确!这是无法修复的！”她说。 “帮我把这些碎片收拾起来！”“为什么？”杰克问。 安妮疯了吗？“照做吧！”快！”安妮说。

Jack and Annie rushed around the stable, gathering up all the torn pages. "Now pile everything over here on top of the cover and give me the book," said Annie. "What book?" said Jack. "The rhyme book!" said Annie. "Oh. Oh!" said Jack. "Right!" He reached into his shoulder bag and pulled out Teddy and Kathleen's book of magic rhymes. Jack opened the book and read down the list. "Here it is: Mend What Cannot Be Mended," he said. "That's the one," said Annie.

杰克和安妮在马厩里跑来跑去，把所有撕破的书页捡起来。 “现在把所有东西都堆在这里的封面上，把书给我，”安妮说。 “什么书？”杰克问。“押韵书！”安妮说。 “哦。哦！”杰克说。“没错!”他把手伸进书包，拿出泰迪和凯瑟琳的魔法诗集。 杰克打开书，把名单念了一遍。 “这就是：修补不能修补的东西，”他说。 “就是这个，”安妮说。

Jack flipped through the pages until he came to the rhyme. He held up the book so he and Annie could both see. Standing in a shaft of sunlight, Jack read in a loud, clear voice: Heal what is broken beyond repair! Annie read the second line: Avi-bree-all! Fen-a-mare! The paper bits fluttered. They began to swirl off the floor. They swirled up and around as if they were caught in a small tornado. The tornado captured all the torn pieces in its funnel and twisted them together.

杰克翻着书页，一直翻到押韵的部分。 他举起书，这样他和安妮都能看见。 站在一缕阳光下，杰克用响亮、清晰的声音念着：治愈无法修复的创伤！安妮读了第二行：阿维-布里-一切！Fen-a-mare !纸片飘动着。 他们开始从地板上滚下来。 他们盘旋着向上和周围，好像他们被困在一个小龙卷风。 龙卷风在漏斗中捕获了所有撕裂的碎片，并将它们缠绕在一起。

The papers swirled into a blur of blinding light.

纸张打转，变成一片眩目的光晕。
