神奇树屋 · 46 Night of the New Magicians
CHAPTER FIVE Hellooo? Jack and Annie pressed through the crowd of people swarming about the Hall of Machines. Finally they reached the exit and slipped back out into the warm Paris night. The fair was just as crowded outside the hall as inside. Musicians played guitars, singers sang,
第五章喂?杰克和安妮挤过机器大厅周围的人群。 最后,他们走到出口,溜回巴黎温暖的夜色中。 会场外面和里面一样拥挤。 音乐家弹吉他,歌手唱歌,
food sellers shouted, "Chocolate milk! Cheese! Bread! Wine!" "We have to get to the Pasteur Institute fast!" Annie shouted to Jack. Jack pulled out their guide book and scanned the index, looking for the Pasteur Institute. "It's not in here," he said. He closed the guide book. "It must not be part of the fair." "Maybe one of those horse-and-buggies can take us there," said Annie. She pointed to a row of carriages along a street. There was a line of people waiting to get into them. "Come on!" said Jack.
卖食品的叫嚷着:“巧克力牛奶!奶酪!面包!酒!”“我们必须尽快赶到巴斯德研究所!”安妮对杰克喊道。 杰克拿出他们的旅游指南,浏览了一下索引,寻找巴斯德研究所。 “不在这里,”他说。 他合上导游书。“它不能成为集市的一部分。” “也许马车能载我们去那儿,”安妮说。 她指着街上的一排马车。 有一排人等着上车。 “来吧!”杰克说。
Annie and Jack made their way through the crowd and stood in the carriage line. "Thomas Alva Edison and Alexander Graham Bell!" said Jack. "The sorcerer must think they're new magicians with secret powers!" "And now he's invited them to some kind of party," said Annie, "so he can steal their secrets." "I'll bet he's inviting the other two," said Jack, "the Magician of Iron and the Magician of the Invisible." "I wonder if they're inventors, too," said Annie.
安妮和杰克穿过人群,站在马车的队伍里。 “托马斯·阿尔瓦·爱迪生和亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔!”杰克说。 “巫师一定以为他们是有神秘力量的新巫师!”“现在他邀请她们参加某种聚会,”安妮说,“这样他就能窃取她们的秘密。” “我敢打赌他会邀请另外两位,”杰克说,“一个是炼铁魔术师,一个是隐形魔术师。” “我想知道他们是不是也是发明家,”安妮说。
"Come on, it's our turn," said Jack. They had reached the front of the carriage line. "We need to go to a place called the Pasteur Institute," Jack called to the coachman. "Can you take us?" "But of course," said the man. "Thanks!" said Annie. She and Jack climbed into the back of the open carriage. The coachman shook the reins, and his white horse clopped down the cobblestone street. "Excuse me," Annie said, leaning forward. "But what exactly is the Pasteur Institute?"
“来吧,轮到我们了。”杰克说。 他们已经到了马车队的前面。 “我们需要去一个叫巴斯德研究所的地方。”杰克对马车夫喊道。 “你能带我们去吗?”“当然,”那人说。 “谢谢!”安妮说。她和杰克爬上敞篷马车的后座。 车夫抖了抖缰绳,他的白马沿着鹅卵石街道疾驰而下。 “对不起,”安妮说着,身体前倾。 “但巴斯德研究所到底是什么?”
"It is a laboratory for finding the cures for diseases," said the coachman. "Oh…," said Annie. "Interesting." She turned back to Jack. "Why would an evil sorcerer look for magicians in a place like that?" "I don't know," said Jack. "Maybe the sorcerer got sick," said Annie. "I don't think so," said Jack. "But now we really need a plan. What if we run into him at the institute? Remember, he has magic powers." "But we have magic powers, too," said Annie.
“这是一个寻找治疗疾病的实验室,”马车夫说。 “哦……”安妮说。“有趣。” 她转身对着杰克。“为什么一个邪恶的巫师会在那样的地方寻找魔法师呢?”“我不知道,”杰克说。 “也许巫师病了,”安妮说。 “我不这么认为,”杰克说。 “但现在我们真的需要一个计划。 如果我们在研究所碰到他怎么办? 记住,他有魔力。” “但是我们也有魔力,”安妮说。
"Right," breathed Jack. He reached into his satchel and pulled out their book: 10 MAGIC RHYMES FOR ANNIE AND JACK FROM TEDDY AND KATHLEEN By the light of the carriage lantern, Jack and Annie looked at the table of contents. "Remember, we can only use a rhyme once," Jack said to Annie. "Make a Stone Come Alive— we've done that. Make Helpers Appear out of Nowhere—
“好吧。”杰克轻声说。他把手伸进书包,拿出他们的书:《特迪和凯萨琳给安妮和杰克的10首神奇的押韵诗》。借着马车灯笼的灯光,杰克和安妮看了看目录。 “记住,我们只能用一次押韵,”杰克对安妮说。 “让石头活过来——我们已经做到了。 让帮手不知从哪里冒出来
