Ch8-The Hall of Mirrors

CHAPTER EIGHT The Hall of Mirrors. Wolfie took off running toward the palace. "The whole world?" Jack said to Annie. "I don't think so." Annie smiled. "Come on, let's go back inside," she said.

第八章镜厅 小狼跑向宫殿。 “整个世界？”杰克对安妮说。 “我不这么认为。”安妮笑了。 “来吧，我们回去吧，”她说。

Jack and Annie hurried through the moonlit garden back to the summer palace. They followed Wolfie up the stairway that led to the terrace. "I'm here, Nan!" Wolfie called. Nan ran across the terrace and grabbed him. "Oh, Wolfie! Where were you?" she asked. "I was in the garden! Oh, Nan, the most amazing thing—" said Wolfie. "Not now, Wolfie, we don't have time," Nan said. She brushed off his jacket and straightened his wig. "I love music, Nan! Jack and Annie made me love music again!" Wolfie said, pointing at Jack and Annie.

杰克和安妮匆匆穿过洒满月光的花园，回到了颐和园。 他们跟着沃尔夫走上通往露台的楼梯。 “我在这里，奶奶！”Wolfie调用。 南跑过阳台，抓住了他。 “哦,Wolfie !你上哪儿去了？”她问。 “我刚才在花园里！”哦，南，最神奇的事情——”小狼说。 “现在不行，小狼，我们没时间了，”南说。 她拂去他的外套，整理他的假发。 “我爱音乐，南！”杰克和安妮让我重新爱上了音乐！”沃尔夫指着杰克和安妮说。

"I'm glad, good, come now," said Nan. "We have to hurry to the Hall of Mirrors! Papa's there waiting for us!" Nan pulled Wolfie toward the door. "Jack, Annie, come with us!" Wolfie yelled over his shoulder. "In a minute! We'll be right there!" said Annie. As Wolfie and Nan went inside, Annie tried to smooth her clothes. The lace on her petticoat was ripped. The bottom of her dress was dirty. Her bows had come untied. The hoop of her skirt was bent. "I'm a mess," she said to Jack. "Me too," he said. His jacket was dirty and his pants were torn. He found his wig and hat where he'd left them and scrunched them back onto his

“我很高兴，很好，来吧，”南说。 “我们得赶紧去镜厅！”爸爸在那儿等着我们呢！”南把小狼拉到门口。 “杰克，安妮，跟我们来！”小狼回过头来喊道。 “等一下！”我们马上就到！”安妮说。 当Wolfie和Nan进去的时候，Annie试着整理她的衣服。 她衬裙上的花边破了。 她衣服的下摆很脏。 她的蝴蝶结已经解开了。她裙子的裙箍弯了。 “我一团糟，”她对杰克说。 “我也是，”他说。他的夹克很脏，裤子也破了。 他在原来的地方找到了自己的假发和帽子，把它们揉回到自己的头上

head. "But we have to look for the artists now," he said. "What about Wolfie?" said Annie. "Forget it. We don't have time to hang out with Wolfie," said Jack. "But we told him we'd come," said Annie. "We can't spend our whole lives chasing after Wolfie!" said Jack. "Because of him, we've already used up our only chance to make magic. And we haven't even started our mission yet!" "Okay, okay," said Annie. "But we should at least say good-bye to him and Nan." Jack sighed. "Okay. A quick good-bye," he said.

头。“但我们现在必须寻找艺术家，”他说。 “那小狼呢？”安妮说。 “算了吧。我们没有时间和小狼一起玩。”杰克说。 “但是我们告诉他我们会来的，”安妮说。 “我们不能一辈子都在追小狼！”杰克说。 “因为他，我们已经用尽了创造奇迹的唯一机会。 我们的任务还没开始呢！”“好吧，好吧，”安妮说。 “但我们至少应该跟他和南说声再见。” 杰克叹了口气。“好吧。很快再见，”他说。

Jack and Annie walked across the terrace and stepped into the palace. "Excuse me," Annie said to a servant, "where is the Hall of Mirrors?" The servant frowned at their appearance. But he pointed to a door on the right. "Pass through the next three rooms, then through the Great Rosa Room, into the Hall of Mirrors." "Thanks!" Jack and Annie hurried through the four rooms until they came to a large door. They opened it and peeked into the Hall of Mirrors. Mirrors hung on the walls. The room was filled with party guests sitting in rows of chairs. Her Imperial Majesty and the imperial children sat in

杰克和安妮走过阳台，走进宫殿。 “对不起，”安妮对一个仆人说，“镜子厅在哪里？”仆人看到他们的样子皱起了眉头。 但他指着右边的一扇门。 “穿过后面的三个房间，然后穿过大罗莎房间，进入镜厅。” “谢谢!”杰克和安妮匆匆穿过四个房间，来到一扇大门前。 他们打开门，向镜厅窥视。 墙上挂着镜子。 房间里挤满了坐在椅子上的聚会客人。 皇上和皇子们坐在那里

the front row. Wolfie was standing near the front of the room with Nan and their father. Jack wanted to leave as quickly as possible. But Wolfie saw them and called out, "Jack! Annie! Come in!" Jack started to slip away. But Annie pushed the door open and stepped inside. Oh, brother, thought Jack, following her. "Watch me!" cried Wolfie. Then Wolfie shot away from his family and hopped in front of the crowd. Oh, no! thought Jack. What's he doing? Why doesn't someone grab him? Wolfie faced the audience. He placed his hand over his heart and bowed. Then he swept back his

前排。小狼跟南和他们的爸爸站在房间的前面。 杰克想尽快离开。 但是狼看见了他们，叫道：“杰克！安妮!进来!”杰克开始溜走。 但安妮推开门，走了进去。 哦，兄弟，杰克想，跟着她。 “看着我！”小狼叫道。然后，小狼迅速离开了他的家人，跳到了人群的前面。 哦,不!杰克想。他在干什么？ 为什么没人抓住他？ 沃尔夫面对着观众。 他把手放在心口，鞠了一躬。 然后他收回了他的
