Ch3-A Creature Named Henry

CHAPTER THREE A Creature Named Henry. Jack threw their book into his pack and quickly ran to join Annie. "Hi," he said to the three men. "Don't be afraid," said Annie. "We come in peace." The three men kept gawking. "Who— who are you?" one of the sailors

第三章一个叫亨利的生物。 杰克把书扔进背包，迅速跑向安妮。 “嗨，”他对那三个人说。 “别害怕，”安妮说。 “我们为和平而来。”那三个人呆呆地看着。 “你——你是谁？”一个水手说

sputtered. Jack and Annie walked closer. "I'm Jack, and this is Annie," said Jack. The man in the bow tie stepped forward. He had a long mustache and a big, friendly smile. "My name is Henry," he said. "I came ashore to look for rare butterflies, plants, and shells. But it seems I have found a rare creature called a Jack-and-Annie instead." "And we've found a creature called a Henry," said Annie, giggling. "That's what we named a pteranodon when we went to the time of the dinosaurs." "I beg your pardon?" said Henry.

气急败坏的说。杰克和安妮走近了。 “我是杰克，这是安妮，”杰克说。 打领结的男人走上前来。 他留着长长的胡子，面带亲切的微笑。 “我叫亨利，”他说。 “我上岸是为了寻找稀有的蝴蝶、植物和贝壳。 不过，我好像找到了一种叫做杰克和安妮的稀有动物。” “我们还发现了一个叫亨利的生物，”安妮咯咯地笑着说。 “这就是我们在恐龙时代给翼龙起的名字。” “你说什么？”亨利说。

"Uh… she's teasing," said Jack. "What an unusual wit," said Henry, his eyes sparkling. "Well, you have not only found a Henry. You've also found a Joe and a Tommy, the two able seamen who rowed me here." "Hi, Joe and Tommy," said Annie. She gave the two sailors a big smile. But Joe and Tommy didn't smile back. They were both scowling. "Where are you from?" Joe asked suspiciously. "Frog Creek, Pennsylvania," said Annie. "Where is that?" asked Tommy. "America," said Jack.

“呃……她在开玩笑。”杰克说。 “真是不寻常的机智，”亨利说，他的眼睛闪闪发光。 “好吧，你不仅找到了一个叫亨利的人。 你还找到了一个叫乔的和一个叫汤米的，这两个能干的水手把我划到这儿来了。” “嗨，乔和汤米，”安妮说。 她给了两个水手一个大大的微笑。 但乔和汤米没有回以微笑。 他们俩都皱着眉头。“你是哪里人？”乔怀疑地问。 “蛙溪，宾夕法尼亚州，”安妮说。 “那在哪儿？”汤米问。 “美国，”杰克说。

"How nice!" said Henry. "Why are you here?" "We, uh… we're on vacation," said Annie. "We're camped with our family back there somewhere…." She waved vaguely. "Vacation?" said Henry. "Our parents like to vacation in really out-of-the-way places," said Annie. Henry chuckled. "Americans!" "Are you a scientist from the HMS Challenger?" Jack said. He was eager to change the subject. "Why, yes," said Henry. "I am one of the team trying to solve the riddles of

“太好了！”亨利说。“你为什么在这里？”“我们，嗯……我们在度假，”安妮说。 “我们和家人在那边的某个地方露营....” 她含糊地挥了挥手。“度假？”亨利说。 “我们的父母喜欢去偏僻的地方度假，”安妮说。 亨利笑了。“美国人!”“你是挑战者号上的科学家吗？”杰克说。 他急于改变话题。 “噢，是的，”亨利说。“我是试图解开……谜团的团队之一。

the deep." Jack loved the sound of that: riddles of the deep. "What kind of riddles have you solved so far?" he asked. "Well, for one thing, we've learned that the ocean floor is absolutely teeming with life," said Henry. "You didn't already know that?" asked Annie. "We thought it was probably the case," said Henry. "But mind you, many people cannot imagine that life can exist in the icy darkness of the deep. In fact, some still believe there is no floor to the

深。”杰克喜欢听这句话：海底的谜语。 “到目前为止，你解开了哪些谜语？”他问。 “嗯，首先，我们已经了解到海底绝对充满了生命，”亨利说。 “你不知道吗？”安妮问。 “我们认为可能就是这样，”亨利说。 “但请注意，许多人无法想象生命能在冰冷黑暗的深海中生存。 事实上，有些人仍然认为没有地板

ocean at all! They think the sea goes down forever." "Are you serious?" said Annie. "Ha. I guess you'll be letting them know that most of the ocean is not more than two miles deep. Of course, some ocean trenches are deeper than six miles. But—" "Annie…," said Jack. "My, you know a lot about the sea," said Henry, looking at Annie with curiosity. "Well, I know that mountain ranges and volcanoes are down there, too," said Annie.

海洋！他们认为海水会永远下沉。” “你是认真的吗？”安妮说。 “哈。我猜你会让他们知道大部分海洋不超过两英里深。 当然，有些海沟的深度超过6英里。 可是——”“安妮……”杰克说。 “天啊，你对大海了解得真多啊，”亨利好奇地看着安妮说。 “嗯，我知道那里也有山脉和火山，”安妮说。
