Ch7-Willy

CHAPTER SEVEN Willy Hundreds of Shee swarmed over the bright bridge. Behind the galloping riders more Shee came fluttering on wings like butterflies. Augusta stood up as if in a trance, her hands clasped over her heart. "Oh, wow!" breathed Annie. "Keep playing!" shouted Jack.

第七章威利几百只羊蜂拥过明亮的桥。 在疾驰的骑手后面，更多的羊像蝴蝶一样振着翅膀飞了过来。 奥古斯塔站了起来，仿佛出神了，双手紧握在胸前。 “哦，哇！”安妮轻声说。 “继续玩！”杰克喊道。

Annie blew into the whistle again. The Shee flew and galloped along the wide, grassy bank. Their horses, fleet as the wind, had arched necks and flaming eyes. They moved faster and faster, swirling into a blinding circle of light and color. The soaring sounds of the music inspired Jack to soar with his words, too. He looked at his notebook and sang: In a swirl they leave, so wild, so free, with a lonely girl to the hill of the Shee! "Jack, no!" shouted Annie.

安妮又吹了一次口哨。 母羊在宽阔的草地上飞奔着。 他们的马像风一样敏捷，脖子拱起，眼睛火红。 它们移动得越来越快，旋转成一个眩目的光和色圈。 高亢的音乐声也激励着杰克用他的语言翱翔。 他看着他的笔记本唱道：他们旋涡离去，如此狂野，如此自由，带着一个孤独的女孩去了雪山！“杰克，不！”安妮喊道。

A mighty blast of wind nearly blew Jack and Annie off their rock. They crouched down and covered their heads. When the wind grew calm, they stood up—just in time to see the swirling cloud of light vanish back into the old forest. The Shee were gone. Once again, sky blended with water and earth in a veil of silver mist. "Whew," Jack said breathlessly. "That was amazing!" "Jack! Do you know what you just did?" "Yeah, I made the Shee appear and disappear," Jack said. "I used my notes from Mary's story, just like we planned." "Yes, you did that," said Annie. "And you made Augusta disappear, too!"

一阵大风差点把杰克和安妮从岩石上吹下来。 他们蹲下来捂着头。 风停了下来，他们站了起来，正好看到旋转的光云消失在古老的森林里。 羊走了。天空再一次与水和土混合在一层银色的薄雾中。 “呼，”杰克上气不接下气地说。 “太神奇了！”“杰克!你知道你刚才做了什么吗？”“是的，我让羊出现又消失，”杰克说。 “我用了玛丽的故事笔记，就像我们计划的那样。” “是的，你做到了，”安妮说。 “你还让奥古斯塔消失了！”

"What?" said Jack. "The Shee took Augusta!" said Annie. "I tried to stop you, but it was too late! You'd already sung those words—" "What words?" said Jack. "You sang: In a swirl they leave, so wild, so free, with a lonely girl to the hill of the Shee!" said Annie. "I was just reading from my notes!" said Jack. "They took Augusta? Are you sure?" "Yes! She's gone!" said Annie. "Oh, no!" said Jack. He and Annie ran to the ridge above the river. "Augusta!" he shouted.

“什么？”杰克说。“母羊把奥古斯塔抓走了！”安妮说。 “我想阻止你，但是太晚了！”你已经唱过那些词了——”“什么词？”杰克说。 “你唱道：他们旋涡离去，如此狂野，如此自由，带着一个孤独的女孩去了雪山！”安妮说。 “我只是在看笔记！”杰克说。 “他们占领了奥古斯塔？”你确定吗？”“是啊!她走了！”安妮说。 “哦，不！”杰克说。他和安妮跑到河上的山脊上。 “奥古斯塔！”他喊道。

There was no sign of Augusta's red cape anywhere. "See? She's gone," said Annie. "It's all my fault!" said Jack. "You couldn't help yourself," said Annie. "But I'm responsible!" said Jack. "We have to get her back!" "Maybe Mary can help us," said Annie. "She—" "Wait, listen," said Jack. "What's that sound?" Squeaky noises were coming from behind the pile of small boulders. It sounded as if someone was trying to play the magic whistle. But the sound was definitely not magical.

到处都找不到奥古斯塔的红斗篷。 “看到了吗?她走了，”安妮说。 “都是我的错！”杰克说。 “你控制不住自己，”安妮说。 “但我是有责任的！”杰克说。 “我们必须把她找回来！”“也许玛丽可以帮助我们，”安妮说。 “等等，听着，”杰克说。 “那是什么声音？”从那堆小石块后面传来吱吱的声音。 听起来好像有人在吹魔哨。 但这声音绝对不是魔法。

"The whistle! I must've dropped it!" said Annie. "Maybe it's Augusta!" said Jack. Jack and Annie ran back and looked over the rocks. A man no higher than Jack's knee was blowing into the whistle. The man wore a green jacket and a three-cornered red cap with a white feather. He had big ears, a bushy red beard, skinny little legs, and silver buckles on his shoes. "Oh, man," said Jack. "A leprechaun!" whispered Annie. Jack and Annie just stared at the leprechaun as he blew into the whistle. His small, bony fingers

“吹口哨!我一定是把它弄掉了！”安妮说。 “也许是奥古斯塔！”杰克说。 杰克和安妮跑回去，朝岩石那边看去。 一个只有杰克膝盖那么高的人在吹哨子。 那人穿着一件绿夹克，头戴一顶饰有白色羽毛的红色三角帽。 他长着大大的耳朵，浓密的红胡子，瘦小的腿，鞋子上有银扣。 “哦，天哪，”杰克说。“一个小妖精！”安妮小声说。 当小妖精吹口哨时，杰克和安妮只是盯着他看。 他瘦骨嶙峋的小手指
