Ch8-One Panda at a Time

One Panda at a Time "Yes, thank you! We need all the help we can get," said Dr. Ling. She looked dazed and frightened. Jack and Annie scrambled down from the wreckage. "Where's your grandmother?" asked Dr. Ling. "Um… she's…" Jack looked at Annie. "Helping earthquake victims south of here," said Annie. "Good for her," said Dr. Ling, sighing. "Everyone needs help." "This is a huge disaster for our region," said Master Lee. "We have no water or electricity. We've been able to make calls on cell phones, but we must conserve the batteries." "How's Bing-Bing?" Jack asked. "She's missing," said Master Lee. His voice quavered.

“好的，谢谢你！”我们需要能得到的一切帮助。” 凌。她看上去又茫然又害怕。 杰克和安妮从残骸上爬了下来。 “你奶奶在哪儿？” 凌。“嗯……她……”杰克看着安妮。 “帮助南边的地震灾民，”安妮说。 “对她有好处，”凌医生叹了口气说。 “每个人都需要帮助。”“这对我们地区来说是一场巨大的灾难，”李宗盛说。 “我们没有水也没有电。 我们已经可以用手机打电话了，但我们必须节约电池。” “李冰冰怎么样?”杰克问。 “她不见了，”李师傅说。 他的声音颤抖着。

"Missing?" said Jack. "Yes," said Master Lee. "I can't find her anywhere." "Don't worry, we'll help you!" said Annie. Master Lee's eyes welled with tears. "Thank you," he said. "She is like a member of my family." He took a deep breath, then spoke clearly and steadily. "The pandas are terrified by the quake and the landslides. Many of their homes have been destroyed. The stone walls around their yards have collapsed." "We also have staff who have been injured," said Dr. Ling. "Master Lee and I must go now to help those who have been trapped in the rubble." "While you do that, we'll look for Bing-Bing," said Annie. "Thank you," said Master Lee again, "but be very careful. Remember, she's a wild animal. She might be so upset and confused that she could attack you by mistake." "We'll remember. Come on, Jack!" said Annie. "Oh, wait," said Dr. Ling. "So everyone will know you are here to help, please put your

“失踪？”杰克说。“是的，”李师傅说。 “我到处都找不到她。” “别担心，我们会帮你的！”安妮说。 李师傅的眼里噙满了泪水。 “谢谢你，”他说。“她就像我的家人一样。” 他深吸了一口气，然后清晰而坚定地说。 “熊猫被地震和山体滑坡吓坏了。 许多人的家园被毁。 他们院子周围的石墙都倒塌了。” “我们也有受伤的员工。” 凌。“李师傅和我现在必须去帮助那些被困在废墟中的人。” “你去找的时候，我们去找冰冰，”安妮说。 “谢谢你，”李大师又说，“但是要非常小心。 记住，她是一只野兽。 她可能会非常沮丧和困惑，可能会错误地攻击你。” “我们会记得。快点，杰克！”安妮说。 “哦，等等，”凌博士说。 “这样每个人都会知道你是来帮忙的，请把你的。

volunteer clothes back on." She pointed to the bin, then she and Master Lee hurried off. Jack and Annie grabbed their coveralls from the bin and pulled them on over their wet clothes. "Let's check around Bing-Bing's house first," said Jack. He and Annie ran across the grounds over shards of glass and fallen debris. They passed broken windows and cracked concrete walls. The kindergarten area was empty of cubs. The quake had overturned the swing sets and slide. When Jack and Annie arrived at Bing-Bing's house, they saw that the stone wall enclosing her yard had crumbled. "She must have run off into the woods," said Jack. "We have to go look for her," said Annie. Jack and Annie climbed over the collapsed wall. Then they scrambled over piles of shrubs and branches into the forest. "Bing-Bing!" Annie called. "Bing-Bing!" Jack echoed. They kept moving through the broken brush until Jack stopped. He grabbed Annie. "Shhh!" he

穿上志愿者的衣服。” 她指了指垃圾桶，然后和李师傅匆匆走开了。 杰克和安妮从箱子里抓起他们的工作服，套在湿衣服外面。 “我们先到冰冰的房子周围看看吧，”杰克说。 他和安妮在玻璃碎片和掉落的碎片上跑过场地。 他们经过了破碎的窗户和开裂的混凝土墙。 幼儿园里没有小熊。 地震掀翻了秋千架和滑梯。 当杰克和安妮到达冰冰家时，他们看到围在她家院子外面的石墙已经倒塌了。 “她一定是跑到树林里去了。”杰克说。 “我们得去找她，”安妮说。 杰克和安妮爬过倒塌的墙。 然后他们爬过成堆的灌木和树枝进入森林。 “兵兵!”安妮叫。 “兵兵!”杰克回荡。他们继续在破碎的灌木丛中移动，直到杰克停下来。 他抓住安妮。“嘘!”他

said, and pointed. Bing-Bing was sitting in the middle of a fallen bamboo grove. Her forepaws rested in her lap. Her head sagged on her chest, and her eyes were closed. The giant panda was snoring. "She looks exhausted," said Jack. Annie smiled. "She doesn't look like she's going to attack us," she said. Bing-Bing raised her head. When she saw Jack and Annie, she let out a bellow. "Don't be scared, Bing-Bing," said Jack. He and Annie crept closer to the panda. They knelt down beside her. "Hi there," said Annie. She gently patted the giant panda's furry head. Bing-Bing made soft sounds. "Are you hungry?" asked Jack. He picked up a broken bamboo stalk and offered it to the panda. She took the shoot in her paws and pulled off the leaves with her teeth. She gazed at Jack as she chewed. He thought she looked weary and sad. "Listen," Annie whispered. Soft whimpering sounds came from the trees beyond the thicket.

说着，指了指。冰冰坐在一片倒下的竹林中间。 她的前爪搁在腿上。 她的头低垂在胸前，眼睛闭着。 大熊猫在打鼾。 “她看起来很疲惫，”杰克说。 安妮笑了。“她看起来不像是要攻击我们的，”她说。 冰冰抬起头。 当她看到杰克和安妮时，她大吼了一声。 “别害怕，冰冰，”杰克说。 他和安妮蹑手蹑脚地靠近熊猫。 他们跪在她身边。 “你好，”安妮说。她轻轻地拍了拍大熊猫毛茸茸的头。 冰冰发出柔和的声音。 “你饿吗？”杰克问。 他捡起一根断了的竹竿，递给熊猫。 她用爪子夹住嫩芽，用牙齿拔掉叶子。 她一边咀嚼，一边凝视着杰克。 他觉得她看上去疲惫而悲伤。 “听着，”安妮低声说。 从树丛那边的树上传来轻柔的呜咽声。

Annie stood up and quietly stepped through the broken bamboo. "Look! It's Roly and Poly!" she said. "Wait here," Jack said to Bing-Bing. "Keep eating." He hurried to Annie's side. High up in a tree were two small pandas. "It's okay, it's okay," said Jack, as if he were talking to little children. "Come down now. One panda at a time." "Come on, Roly." Annie coaxed the nearest panda cub. "Come to me." The small panda started down the tree trunk, rump-first. When he got close to the ground, Annie put her arms around him and pried him loose from the tree. Roly made little chirping sounds.

安妮站起来，悄悄地穿过断竹。 “看!是罗莉和保利！”她说。 “在这儿等着，”杰克对冰冰说。 “吃下去”。他急忙走到安妮身边。 两只小熊猫高高地站在树上。 “没事的，没事的。”杰克说，好像他在和小孩子说话。 “现在下来吧。一次一只熊猫。” “来吧，罗莉。”安妮哄着最近的熊猫幼崽。 “到我这儿来。”小熊猫开始顺着树干往下爬，屁股朝前。 当他接近地面时，安妮伸出双臂搂住他，把他从树上撬了下来。 罗莉发出细小的唧唧声。

"I understand," Annie said to the cub. "The earthquake was awful, wasn't it? You were so scared, but you're fine now. I've got you." "You're next, Poly!" said Jack. "Come down!" Poly hugged the trunk and used the soles of her feet to pull herself up even higher into the tree.

“我明白了，”安妮对小熊说。 “地震太可怕了，不是吗？” 你当时很害怕，但现在没事了。 我抓住你了。”“下一个就是你了，波利！”杰克说。 “下来!”波莉抱住树干，用脚底把自己拉到更高的树上。
