Ch2-Looking for Leonardo

CHAPTER TWO Looking for Leonardo A different bell was bonging in the distance. Bright early sunlight poured through the tree house window. Teddy and Kathleen were gone. Jack looked down at his clothes. He was wearing a knee-length tunic and dark tights. Annie

第二章寻找列奥纳多远处响起了不同的钟声。 清晨明亮的阳光从树屋的窗户射进来。 泰迪和凯瑟琳走了。 杰克低头看了看自己的衣服。 他穿着一件及膝的束腰外衣和深色紧身衣。 安妮

wore a long dress with puffy sleeves. Jack's backpack had changed into a cloth bag. Jack and Annie looked out the window. The tree house had landed in a tall tree in a garden surrounded by green hedges. Beyond the garden was a sea of red-tiled roofs. A huge eight-sided dome and a stone tower rose high above the red rooftops.

穿着一件袖子蓬松的长裙。 杰克的背包变成了一个布袋。 杰克和安妮向窗外望去。 树屋落在花园中一棵高大的树上，周围是绿色的树篱。 花园那边是一片红瓦屋顶的海洋。 一个巨大的八面圆顶和一座石塔高高耸立在红色的屋顶上。

"Welcome to Florence, Italy," said Annie. Jack opened their book and read aloud: In the early 1500s, many artists and craftspeople lived in the city of Florence. The city was filled with silk weavers, potters, and marble workers. Artists made sculptures, paintings, and tapestries. "Cool," said Annie. "I love art." Jack read more: But the most amazing genius of that time did a bit of everything. Leonardo da Vinci was not only a great painter but also an inventor, architect, stage and costume

“欢迎来到意大利的佛罗伦萨，”安妮说。 杰克打开他们的书，大声朗读：16世纪初，许多艺术家和工匠住在佛罗伦萨市。 城市里到处都是丝绸织工、陶工和大理石工人。 艺术家们制作雕塑、绘画和挂毯。 “酷，”安妮说。“我热爱艺术。” 杰克又读了一遍：但是那个时代最了不起的天才什么都做一点。 列奥纳多·达·芬奇不仅是一位伟大的画家，还是一位发明家、建筑师、舞台设计师和服装设计师

designer, horseman, chef, geologist, and botanist. "What's a geologist and a botanist?" said Annie. "They're scientists," said Jack. "A geologist studies rocks, and a botanist studies plants." He turned the page. "Come on, we should go," said Annie. "The tree house probably brought us right to Leonardo. We have to find him before he gets away!" "Oh, right," said Jack. Annie started down the ladder. Jack packed up their research book and climbed down after her.

设计师、骑手、厨师、地质学家和植物学家。 “地质学家和植物学家是什么？”安妮说。 “他们是科学家，”杰克说。 “地质学家研究岩石，植物学家研究植物。” 他翻了一页。“来吧，我们该走了，”安妮说。 “树屋可能让我们找到了达芬奇。 我们必须在他跑掉之前找到他！”“哦，对了，”杰克说。 安妮开始走下梯子。 杰克收拾好他们的研究书，跟着她爬了下来。

Jack and Annie walked around the tall hedge and came to a busy road that ran along a river. They stared at all the people going by. There were women in long silk dresses, priests in black robes riding donkeys, and soldiers in blue capes riding horses. "I don't see anyone who looks like the guy on the cover of our book," said Jack. "Let's ask someone," said Annie. She walked over to a girl selling flowers by the road. "Excuse me. Do you know a person named Leonardo da Vinci?" "Of course! Everyone knows Leonardo!" said the girl. "He was just here! He bought some

杰克和安妮绕过高高的树篱，来到一条繁忙的沿河公路上。 他们注视着所有经过的人。 妇女们穿着丝绸长裙，牧师们穿着黑袍骑着驴，士兵们披着蓝斗篷骑着马。 “我没看到有人长得像我们书封面上的那个人，”杰克说。 “我们问问别人吧，”安妮说。 她走向路边一个卖花的女孩。 “对不起。你认识一个叫莱昂纳多·达·芬奇的人吗？”“当然!每个人都知道莱昂纳多！”女孩说。 “他刚才还在这儿！”他买了一些

flowers from me. He said he was going to sketch them later." Her eyes shone with excitement. "Where did he go?" asked Jack. "He headed toward the Old Bridge," the girl said. She pointed toward a covered bridge farther down the road. "Thanks!" said Annie. Jack and Annie walked quickly along the bank of the river toward the bridge. "You were right," said Jack. "The tree house brought us right to Leonardo. But while we were talking, he kept walking." "Don't worry," said Annie. "We'll catch up to him."

献上我的花。他说过一会儿要画草图。” 她的眼睛因兴奋而发光。 “他去哪儿了？”杰克问。 “他朝老桥去了，”女孩说。 她指着路那边一座有顶棚的桥。 “谢谢！”安妮说。杰克和安妮沿着河岸快步向桥走去。 “你是对的，”杰克说。 “树屋让我们找到了莱昂纳多。 我们说话的时候，他却一直往前走。” “别担心，”安妮说。 “我们会追上他的。”
