Ch10-Journey of a Thousand Miles

CHAPTER TEN Journey of a Thousand Miles Jack couldn't speak. "Our passports?" said Annie. "They —um— they got destroyed in a fire—on the other side of the Great Bridge." The samurai narrowed his eyes. "Your passports burned?." he said. "Why were

第十章千里之旅杰克说不出话来。 “我们的护照？”安妮说。 “它们——嗯——它们在大桥另一边的一场大火中被烧毁了。” 武士眯起眼睛。 “你们的护照烧了？”他说。 “为什么是

you on the other side of the Great Bridge?" "We were with Master Basho," said Jack. "Master Basho?" said the samurai. "Yes," said Annie. "We are students of his." "Ah!" The samurai's expression brightened. "So you study poetry with Master Basho?" "Yes," said Annie. "Would you like to hear some poems?" Oh, no! thought Jack. Not again! "Yes, please," said the samurai.

你在大桥的另一边吗？”“我们和芭蕉师傅在一起。”杰克说。 “芭蕉师傅？”武士说。 “是的，”安妮说。“我们是他的学生。” “啊!”武士的表情变得明朗起来。 “所以你跟芭蕉大师学诗？”“是的，”安妮说。 “你想听一些诗吗？”哦,不!杰克想。 又不是!“是的，”武士说。

"No problem." Annie thought for a moment and then said: "Here's a simple little poem." She recited: Rain falls outside, But the tiny cricket on the hearth Is dry tonight. The samurai nodded. "Hmm," he said. "Yes. Very simple, but very lovely." "Thank you," said Annie. The man turned to Jack. Jack could hardly breathe. His mind was blank. He

“没问题。”安妮想了一会儿，说：“这是一首简单的小诗。” 她背诵道：外面下着雨，但火炉旁的小蟋蟀今晚是干的。 武士点点头。“嗯，”他说。 “是的。很简单，但很可爱。” “谢谢你，”安妮说。那人转向杰克。 杰克几乎无法呼吸。 他的脑子一片空白。他

looked to Annie for help. But Annie just smiled, waiting to hear his poem. Jack cleared his throat. He tried to stay calm. He closed his eyes and let his mind roam over their visit to Japan. He opened his eyes. He looked up at the cloudless sky and said: The sun is shining, The day is hot. But moonlight And cool breezes Still fill my heart, Left over from last night. "Whoa!" whispered Annie. "Good!"

他向安妮求助。但安妮只是笑了笑，等着听他的诗。 杰克清了清嗓子。他竭力保持冷静。 他闭上眼睛，思绪在他们的日本之行中漫游。 他睁开眼睛。他抬头望着万里无云的天空说：阳光灿烂，天气很热。 但月光和凉风依然充满我的心，昨夜的余韵。 “哇！”安妮小声说。“好!”

"Yes, very good!" said the samurai. He looked at the sky. "The moonlight, the cool breeze," he mused, "left over from the night. Very good. Master Basho has taught you well!" The samurai strolled away, shaking his head and murmuring to himself. He let out a happy laugh, as if delighted with the day. Jack couldn't believe it. They were free! "Hurry, let's go," he said. "Before someone else sees us!" Jack and Annie ran to the rope ladder and started up. As soon as they climbed inside the tree house, Jack grabbed the

“很好！”武士说。 他看了看天空。“月光，凉爽的微风，”他若有所思地说，“夜晚留下的余晖。 很好。芭蕉师傅把你教得很好！”武士一边摇着头，一边喃喃自语地走开了。 他发出一声快乐的笑声，似乎对这一天感到很高兴。 杰克简直不敢相信。他们是免费的！“快，我们走吧，”他说。 “在别人看见我们之前！”杰克和安妮跑到绳梯前，跳了起来。 他们刚爬进树屋，杰克就抓住了

Pennsylvania book. He found a picture of the Frog Creek woods. "As the famous samurai once said, 'A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step,'" said Jack. "Or one sentence," said Annie. "Right," said Jack. He pointed at the picture. "I wish we could go home." Annie gasped. "Wait a minute!" she said. "We forgot our mission!" "What?" said Jack. But the wind started to blow. The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster.

宾夕法尼亚州的书。他找到了一张青蛙溪森林的照片。 杰克说：“正如著名的武士所说，‘千里之行，始于足下。’” “或者一句话，”安妮说。 “好的，”杰克说。他指着那幅画。 “我希望我们能回家。” 安妮气喘吁吁地说。“等一下！”她说。 “我们忘了我们的使命！”“什么？”杰克说。 但是风开始刮了起来。 树屋开始旋转。 它转得越来越快。
