Ch10-Fare-thee-wells

CHAPTER TEN Fare~thee~wells "Well, that was simple and direct," said Annie. "Yeah.…" Jack felt dazed. Augusta looked at Jack and Annie. "I saw them," she said, her eyes wide. "I finally saw the Shee. I really saw them!" She burst out laughing. Her laughter was so full of joy that Jack and Annie started laughing, too.

第十章再见水井“嗯，那很简单直接，”安妮说。 “是的。杰克感到一阵眩晕。 奥古斯塔看着杰克和安妮。 “我看见了，”她说，眼睛睁得大大的。 “我终于看到了羊。我真的看到了！”她突然大笑起来。 她的笑声充满了喜悦，杰克和安妮也笑了起来。

"I saw them! I saw them!" Augusta kept repeating. "I saw the Shee! And now I have important things to do!" "Yes, you do," said Annie. "I must learn the old language! And I must start gathering stories at once, that's what Queen Aine told me!" said Augusta. "I can't wait to visit the old storytellers! There's Mary Sheridan and Biddy Early, too! I'll start with Mary! Let's go see her right now! Hurry! Will you come with me? Hurry!" "Sure," said Annie, "but just a second." She turned to Jack. "What about Willy?" "Who's Willy?" asked Augusta.

“我看见他们了！”我看见他们了！”奥古斯塔不停地重复。 “我看见羊了！”现在我有重要的事情要做！”“是的，你知道，”安妮说。 “我必须学习古老的语言！”我必须马上开始收集故事，这是艾因王后告诉我的！”奥古斯塔说。 “我等不及要去拜访那些老说书人了！”还有玛丽·谢里丹和毕蒂·厄尔利！我从玛丽开始！我们现在就去看她吧！快点!你愿意和我一起去吗？ 快点!”“当然，”安妮说，“不过等一下。” 她转向杰克。“威利怎么办？”“谁是威利？”奥古斯塔问。

"A friend of ours," said Jack, looking around. "He said he'd wait for us. But where was he going to wait? Willy!" "Willy!" called Annie. "I guess he's still somewhere on the other side of the river…," said Jack. "That's too bad," said Annie. "Yeah," said Jack. "Come, let us go see Mary now!" said Augusta, grabbing Annie's hand and pulling her along. Jack looked around for Willy one last time. He was sad about not seeing the leprechaun again. But he was a little relieved, too. He knew they couldn't keep their part of the deal: teaching Willy how to play the magic whistle.

“我们的一个朋友。”杰克说着环顾四周。 “他说他会等我们。 但他要在哪里等呢？ 威利!”“威利！”安妮叫道。 “我猜他还在河对岸的某个地方……”杰克说。 “那太糟糕了，”安妮说。 “是的，”杰克说。“来，我们现在就去看玛丽吧！”奥古斯塔说着，抓住安妮的手，拉着她往前走。 杰克最后一次环顾四周寻找威利。 他很难过再也见不到小妖精了。 但他也松了一口气。 他知道他们不能遵守约定：教威利如何吹魔哨。

"Come on, Jack!" cried Augusta. Jack followed the two girls through the wet meadow, over the stone wall, down the dirt lane, and across the muddy field to Mary Sheridan's cottage. "Mary! Mary!" Augusta called. She dashed ahead of Jack and Annie. She didn't even stop to knock. She threw open the door to the cottage. "Oh!" she said, freezing in her tracks. Jack and Annie caught up with Augusta and looked inside. Mary was sitting in front of her fire. Next to her was a small man wearing a green jacket and a three-cornered red cap with a white feather. "Willy!" cried Annie.

“加油，杰克！”奥古斯塔喊道。 杰克跟着两个女孩穿过潮湿的草地，翻过石墙，走下泥泞的小路，穿过泥泞的田野，来到玛丽·谢里丹的小屋。 “玛丽!玛丽!”奥古斯塔。 她冲到杰克和安妮的前面。 她甚至没有停下来敲门。 她猛地打开小屋的门。 “啊！"她说，吓得僵住了。 杰克和安妮追上了奥古斯塔，向里面看了看。 玛丽正坐在火炉前。 在她旁边是一个身材矮小的男人，穿着一件绿色的夹克，戴着一顶镶着白色羽毛的红色三角帽。 “威利！”安妮叫道。

Annie and Jack hurried past Augusta into the cottage. "You're here!" said Jack. "Of course! I said I'd wait for you!" said the leprechaun. "I see you found your dear friend and brought her home. Good work!" Augusta stood in the doorway, gaping at Willy. "Who are you?" she asked. "Name's Willy. Just plain Willy," said the leprechaun. "I usually leave before you visit Mary. But now that you've seen the Shee, I suppose there's no point hiding from you anymore."

安妮和杰克匆匆经过奥古斯塔，走进小屋。 “你来了！”杰克说。“当然!我说过我会等你的！”小矮妖说。 “我看到你找到了你亲爱的朋友，把她带回家了。 干得好!”奥古斯塔站在门口，目瞪口呆地看着威利。 “你是谁？”她问。“叫威利。 就是普通的威利。”小妖精说。 “我通常在你去看玛丽之前就走了。 不过，既然你已经见过羊了，我想再也没有必要躲着你了。”

"Are—are you real?" asked Augusta. "Who knows?" said the leprechaun. "Maybe I'm real and you're not! Depends on which one of us is asking the question!" Everyone laughed. "Good point," said Annie. "Well, we'd better be getting home," said Jack. He wanted to leave before Willy asked Annie for

“你——你是真的吗？”奥古斯塔问。 “谁知道呢？”小妖精说。 “也许我是真实的，而你不是！”那要看我们谁在问这个问题了！”每个人都笑了。 “说得好，”安妮说。“好了，我们最好是回家了。”杰克说。 他想在威利向安妮要之前离开
