Ch4-Happy Campers

CHAPTER FOUR Happy Campers. Touching down onto a flat, snowy field was an orange and white helicopter. The helicopter had skis on the bottom so it could land on the ice and snow. The bus came to a stop at the edge of the field. "We must be going to the volcano in a helicopter!" said Annie.

第四章快乐的露营者。 一架橙白相间的直升机降落在一片平坦的雪地上。 直升机的底部装有滑雪板，这样它就可以降落在冰雪上。 公共汽车在田边停了下来。 “我们一定要坐直升机去火山！”安妮说。

"By air! Just like the rhyme says!" said Jack. "Great!" Jack had always wanted to fly in a helicopter! Nancy stood up. "For those of you getting off the bus now, please remember," she said, "the helicopter blades are extremely dangerous. Always wait for a signal from the pilot before approaching the chopper." Everyone watched as the spinning blades slowly came to a stop. The pilot waved from the

“空运!就像那首押韵诗说的！”杰克说。 “太好了!”杰克一直想坐直升飞机！南希站了起来。 “现在下车的人，请记住，”她说，“直升机的桨叶非常危险。 在接近直升机之前，一定要等待飞行员的信号。” 每个人都看着旋转的叶片慢慢地停下来。 飞行员在飞机上挥手

helicopter window. "Okay, Pete says we can go!" said Nancy. Jack put their rhyme back into his pocket. He pulled on his backpack. Then, carrying his notebook and pencil, he filed down the aisle after Annie and the others who would join them in the helicopter. They all scrambled off the bus into the dazzling sunlight. "Jump aboard!" said Nancy. Jack and Annie followed the four other adults up the steps of the helicopter and squeezed into a small cabin. Sitting in two rows of seats behind the pilot, everyone buckled their seat belts. Nancy pulled the door shut and turned the latch. Then she sat next to Pete and put on a set of

直升机窗口。“好的，皮特说我们可以去！”南希说。 杰克把他们的押韵诗放回口袋里。 他背起背包。 然后，他拿着笔记本和铅笔，沿着过道跟在安妮和其他人后面，他们将和他们一起乘坐直升机。 他们都爬下公共汽车，来到耀眼的阳光下。 “跳上船！”南希说。 杰克和安妮跟着另外四个大人上了直升机的台阶，挤进了一个小客舱。 坐在飞行员后面的两排座位上，每个人都系好了安全带。 南希把门关上，转动门闩。 然后她坐在皮特旁边，戴上了一套

headphones. "Headphones on, everyone! They're under your seats," she said. "They'll protect your ears from the chopper noise, and also serve as a radio so I can talk to you." Everyone reached under their seats and took out headphones. Jack and Annie pulled off their hoods. Without taking off their goggles or face masks, they placed the headphones over their ears. The thick pads muffled the sounds around them. Jack heard Nancy's voice over his headphones: "Testing, one, two, three. Can everyone hear me?" Everyone nodded. "Okay, Pete, take us to Mount Erebus!" Pete the pilot started the helicopter. Even with his headphones on, Jack heard the roaring of the

耳机。“大家戴上耳机！”它们在你的座位下面，”她说。 “它们可以保护你的耳朵免受直升机噪音的影响，也可以作为收音机，这样我就可以和你说话了。” 每个人都把手伸到座位下面，拿出耳机。 杰克和安妮脱下兜帽。 他们在不摘下护目镜或口罩的情况下，将耳机戴在耳朵上。 厚厚的垫子遮住了周围的声音。 杰克从耳机里听到南希的声音：“测试，一，二，三。 大家都能听到我说话吗？”每个人都点了点头。 “好吧，皮特，带我们去埃里伯斯山吧！”飞行员皮特启动了直升机。 即使戴着耳机，杰克也能听到飞机的轰鸣声

engine and the spinning of the blades. He held his breath as the chopper trembled and lifted off the ice and snow. The helicopter shook and tilted. Then it buzzed forward through the blue sky. Annie aimed her camera out the window and took pictures. The Korean photographer did the same, and the Australian journalist scribbled in his notebook. Jack was too excited to take notes now. This is great, he thought. All the words in the rhyme are coming true. As they flew toward the burning mountain of ice and snow, he tried to remember what words came next. He slipped the rhyme out of his pocket and read:

引擎和叶片的旋转。 当直升机颤抖着从冰雪上起飞时，他屏住了呼吸。 直升机摇晃并倾斜。 然后它在蓝色的天空中嗡嗡作响。 安妮把相机对准窗外拍了几张照片。 韩国摄影师也照做了，澳大利亚记者在笔记本上乱写乱画。 杰克太兴奋了，现在没时间做笔记了。 这太棒了，他想。 所有押韵的单词都实现了。 当他们飞向燃烧的冰雪之山时，他努力回忆接下来要说的话。 他从口袋里抽出那首押韵诗，念道：

…you must go To a burning mountain of ice and snow On wheels, by air, then all fall down… "All fall down"? Wait a minute. What does that mean? thought Jack. Does that mean the chopper falls down? Do we fall out of the chopper?

你必须去一座燃烧的冰雪之山坐着轮子，坐着飞机，然后全部倒下“全部倒下”？ 等一下。这是什么意思？ 杰克想。那是不是意味着直升机会掉下来？ 我们会从直升机上掉下来吗？
