MAGIC TREE HOUSE #46 DOGS IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT

魔法树屋#46夜深人静时的狗

CHAPTER ONE The Second Thing "Jack, Jack!" whispered Annie. Jack opened his eyes. He'd been dreaming about running away from cobras. "What's wrong?" he said, sitting up in bed. It was still dark outside. "Nothing's wrong," whispered Annie. "We have to go to the tree house and come back before it's

第一章第二件事“杰克，杰克！”安妮小声说。 杰克睁开眼睛。他一直梦想着逃离眼镜蛇。 “怎么了？”他说着，从床上坐起来。 外面还很黑。 “没什么，”安妮小声说。 “我们必须去树屋，然后在它。

time to get ready for school." "The tree house?" said Jack sleepily. "Teddy and Kathleen may have translated the next lines of the spell," said Annie. "We have to see if they're there, or if they've sent a message." "Huh?" said Jack. He was still half-asleep. "We have to find the second thing to break the spell that turned Penny to stone!" said Annie. "Remember? Come on, Jack, wake up!" She shook his shoulder. "Okay, okay. We have to get the second thing!" Jack jumped out of bed. "I'm ready!" "No, you're not," said Annie. "You have to put your clothes on. I'll meet you downstairs." Annie left the room, and Jack quickly changed out of his pajamas and into jeans and a sweatshirt. He picked up his backpack and reached into an inside pocket. He pulled out the emerald rose they'd found in India. It was the first thing Teddy and Kathleen needed to break the spell and bring Penny back to life. Jack grabbed his notebook and a pencil from his desk. He put them into his backpack along with

该准备上学了。” “树屋？”杰克困倦地说。 “特迪和凯瑟琳可能已经翻译了咒语的下一行，”安妮说。 “我们必须看看他们是否在那里，或者他们是否发出了信息。” “嗯？”杰克说。他仍然半睡半醒。 “我们必须找到第二个东西来打破把佩妮变成石头的咒语！”安妮说。 “还记得吗?快点，杰克，醒醒！”她摇了摇他的肩膀。 “好吧,好吧。我们必须拿到第二件东西！”杰克跳下床。 “我准备好了!”“不，你不是，”安妮说。 “你得把衣服穿上。 我在楼下等你。” 安妮离开了房间，杰克迅速脱下睡衣，换上牛仔裤和运动衫。 他拿起背包，把手伸进里面的口袋。 他拿出了他们在印度发现的祖母绿玫瑰。 这是泰迪和凯瑟琳打破魔咒，让佩妮起死回生所需要的第一件事。 杰克从桌上抓起他的笔记本和一支铅笔。 他把它们放进背包里

the emerald rose. Then he slipped quietly out of his bedroom and down the stairs. Annie was waiting on the front porch. The sky was just starting to become light. The spring air was damp and cool. Jack was glad that he had worn his sweatshirt. "All set," said Jack. "Let's go."

翡翠玫瑰。然后他悄悄地溜出卧室，走下楼梯。 安妮在前廊等着。 天空刚刚开始变亮。 春天的空气潮湿而凉爽。 杰克很高兴他穿了他的运动衫。 “都准备好了，”杰克说。“我们走吧。”

Jack and Annie ran across the wet grass of their front yard and dashed down the sidewalk. The houses they passed were all quiet, but the world of nature was awake with birdsong and dogs barking in the distance. Jack and Annie crossed the street and headed into the Frog Creek woods. It was hard to see in the shadowy dark, but they were so familiar with the path to the tallest oak that they quickly found their way. The tree house was there, waiting for them. But no one was looking out the window. "Darn, no Teddy and Kathleen," said Annie. "Well, at least they sent the tree house," said Jack. "That must mean they were able to translate the next part of the ancient spell. They must have stayed in Camelot to work on the rest." "Yeah, probably," said Annie. She grabbed the rope ladder and started up. Jack followed her. Inside the tree house, daylight was starting to creep through the windows. Jack saw a small scroll on top of a book in the shadows. "That's it!" he said. He picked it up and read aloud:

杰克和安妮跑过前院湿漉漉的草地，冲到人行道上。 他们经过的房子都很安静，但大自然却醒了，远处传来鸟鸣和狗叫。 杰克和安妮穿过街道，向青蛙溪树林走去。 在阴暗的黑暗中很难看清，但他们对通往最高橡树的小路非常熟悉，很快就找到了路。 树屋就在那里，等着他们。 但是没有人往窗外看。 “该死，没有泰迪和凯瑟琳，”安妮说。 “好吧，至少他们送了树屋，”杰克说。 “这一定意味着他们能够翻译下一部分古代咒语。 他们一定是留在卡梅洛特做剩下的事了。” “是啊，可能吧，”安妮说。 她抓起绳梯，跳了起来。 杰克跟着她。在树屋里，阳光开始从窗户爬进来。 杰克在暗处看到一本书顶上有一个小卷轴。 “就是这样！”他说。他拿起信，大声读道：

The second thing to break the spell is a white and yellow flower. Live its meaning for yourself, if only for an hour. "A white and yellow flower?" said Annie. "Well, that sounds easier than finding an emerald shaped like a rose." "Okay. But where do we go to look for it?" said Jack. He picked up the book from the floor and read the title aloud:

第二个打破魔咒的东西是一朵黄白相间的花。 为你自己活出它的意义，哪怕只有一个小时。 “一朵黄白相间的花？”安妮说。 “嗯，这听起来比找到一朵玫瑰形状的祖母绿要容易。” “好吧。可是我们上哪儿去找呢？”杰克说。 他从地板上捡起那本书，大声念着书名：
