Ch10-Questions

CHAPTER TEN Questions. It was twilight when Annie and Jack stepped back out into the street. "Where's the tree with the tree house?" asked Annie. "Somewhere over the bridge beyond the big dome," said Jack.

第十章问题。当安妮和杰克回到街上时，已经是黄昏了。 “那棵树和树屋在哪里？”安妮问。 “在大圆顶后面桥上的某个地方。”杰克说。

They kept their eyes on the dome as they threaded their way through the streets of Florence. When they came to the cathedral, the square was quiet. The cathedral's great doors were open. Jack and Annie could see candles burning inside. Jack and Annie kept walking and soon came to the market. The hundreds of tents and stalls were all closed for the night. The square was empty. Jack and Annie returned the way they had come that morning. Walking down the same narrow lanes, they saw that all the shops were closed now, too. They crossed the covered bridge and walked along the flowing river, past quiet houses where smoke curled from chimneys into the darkening sky.

他们穿过佛罗伦萨的街道时，眼睛一直盯着圆顶。 当他们来到大教堂时，广场上很安静。 大教堂的大门敞开着。 杰克和安妮看见里面点着蜡烛。 杰克和安妮继续走着，很快就来到了市场。 当晚，数百个帐篷和摊位都关闭了。 广场上空无一人。杰克和安妮按照那天早上来的路返回。 走在同样狭窄的巷子里，他们看到所有的商店也都关门了。 他们穿过有顶棚的桥，沿着流动的河流走，经过安静的房屋，烟囱里的烟袅袅升起，升入逐渐变暗的天空。

Finally Jack and Annie came to the hedge that hid the tree with the tree house. In the gray light of dusk, they climbed up the rope ladder. "Before we go home, I want to look something up," said Jack. He pulled their research book out of his bag and looked in the index for Mona Lisa. He found it and turned to the right page. "Look! It's Lisa!" said Annie. Jack and Annie stared at a picture of Leonardo's painting. It looked exactly the same, except now there was a smile on Lisa's face, the same smile they'd just seen in real life. Jack read aloud: Leonardo da Vinci's painting of Mona Lisa is perhaps the most famous painting in the world. It is believed to be a portrait of Lisa

最后，杰克和安妮来到了把树和树屋藏起来的树篱前。 在灰蒙蒙的暮色中，他们爬上了绳梯。 “在我们回家之前，我想查一些东西，”杰克说。 他从包里拿出他们的研究书，在索引中查找《蒙娜丽莎》。 他找到了，翻到正确的一页。 “看!是丽莎！”安妮说。 杰克和安妮盯着一幅列奥纳多的画。 它看起来完全一样，除了丽莎的脸上有了微笑，和他们刚刚在现实生活中看到的一样的微笑。 杰克大声朗读：列奥纳多·达·芬奇的《蒙娜丽莎》也许是世界上最著名的画作。 人们认为这是丽莎的肖像

del Gioconda. (The Italian word mona means "my lady.") Leonardo da Vinci never sold the portrait of Lisa. He took it with him everywhere he traveled until he died. Jack closed the book. "He kept his promise," he said.

不可思议的。（意大利语“mona”的意思是“我的夫人”）列奥纳多·达·芬奇从未出售过丽莎的画像。 他走到哪里都带着它，直到去世。 杰克合上书。“他遵守了诺言，”他说。

"I knew he would," said Annie. She sighed. "Good-bye, Leonardo," she whispered. Then she picked up their note from Morgan and pointed at the words Frog Creek. "I wish we could go there," she said. The wind started to blow. The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster. Then everything was still. Absolutely still. Sunlight flooded through the tree house window. No time had passed in Frog Creek. The school bell was still ringing, announcing that class

“我就知道他会的，”安妮说。 她叹了口气。“再见，列奥纳多，”她低声说。 然后她从摩根手里拿起纸条，指着“青蛙溪”几个字。 “我希望我们能去那里，”她说。 风开始起了。树屋开始旋转。 它转得越来越快。 然后一切都静止了。 绝对静止。阳光透过树屋的窗户照进来。 青蛙溪的时间一点也没有过去。 学校的铃还在响，宣布上课

would start in ten minutes. Jack and Annie were wearing their school clothes. Jack's cloth bag had changed back into his backpack. "We have to hurry," said Annie. "I know," said Jack. He looked inside his pack. He was happy to see the Wand of Dianthus. As he pulled out their research book, a piece of paper fell out. It was the sketch of Leonardo's angel. "Oh, I forgot all about this," said Jack. He and Annie looked at the sketch. "It shows he was really a good drawer," said Annie. "Yep," said Jack. "And it will remind us about Leonardo's secret of happiness."

十分钟后开始。 杰克和安妮穿着校服。 杰克的布袋又变成了他的背包。 “我们得快点了，”安妮说。 “我知道，”杰克说。他往背包里看了看。 他很高兴看到了Dianthus魔杖。 当他拿出他们的研究书时，一张纸掉了出来。 这是列奥纳多天使的素描。 “哦，我把这事全忘了。”杰克说。 他和安妮看了看素描。 安妮说：“这表明他确实是个很好的画家。” “是的，”杰克说。“它将提醒我们莱昂纳多幸福的秘密。”
