Ch10-Best Escape Act Ever

CHAPTER TEN Rest Escape Act Ever Annie grinned at Jack. "Done!" she whispered. "Done!" Jack agreed. "Now we can leave." "Harry and I have to go, too," said Bess. "I want to get him out of here before he attracts the wrong types." "Hooligans and crazy fans?" asked Annie.

第十章休息逃跑法安妮对杰克咧嘴一笑。 “搞定了！”她小声说。“做!”杰克同意了。 “现在我们可以走了。”“哈利和我也得去。”贝丝说。 “我想在他吸引坏人之前把他赶出去。” “流氓和疯狂的球迷？”安妮问。

"You got it," said Bess. "Harry!" she called. "Time's up!" Harry excused himself from the crowd of people and walked back to the bench. "Thanks, sweetheart," he said. "I couldn't escape." He winked at Bess, then looked at Jack and Annie. "They think I do truly magical things. But it's not true. It's all just entertainment. It's all tricks." "Harry's never seen anyone do a trick he couldn't do himself," said Bess. "That's a fact," said Harry. "Nothing. Ever." "Amazing," said Annie. "Amazing, yes, but it's also a great sadness," said Harry, frowning. "The world's lost its wonder for me. I would be so happy just once to see a bit of magic I could never do or never explain." "Really?" said Jack. "Yes, but it's not going to happen," Harry said with a sigh. "Well, I'm ready, my love. Let's go home." "Yes, let's," said Bess, standing. She looked at Jack and Annie. "Which way are you two going?" "Just down that way," Jack said. And then he had a great idea. He smiled at Annie. "Let's walk

“你说对了，”贝丝说。“哈利！” “时间到了!”哈利离开了人群，走回长凳。 “谢谢，亲爱的，”他说。 “我逃不掉。”他朝贝斯眨了眨眼，然后看着杰克和安妮。 “他们认为我真的会做一些神奇的事情。 但事实并非如此。这都是娱乐。 都是骗人的。”“哈利从来没见过有人会他自己也不会的把戏。” “这是事实。”哈利说。 “没什么。”。“太神奇了，”安妮说。 “很神奇，没错，但也很令人伤心。”哈利皱着眉头说。 “对我来说，世界失去了奇迹。 我很高兴能看到一种我永远无法做到也无法解释的魔法。” “真的吗？”“是的，但那是不可能的。”哈利叹了口气说。 “好了，我准备好了，亲爱的。 我们回家吧。”“是的，我们走吧，”贝丝站起来说。 她看着杰克和安妮。 “你们俩往哪边走？”“顺着那条路走。”杰克说。 然后他有了一个好主意。 他对安妮笑了笑。“我们走吧

them as far as the Japanese Tea Garden." Annie's eyes lit up. She seemed to know what Jack was thinking. "Good plan!" she said. "Sure, let's all go together," said Bess. Harry, Bess, Jack, and Annie all stepped down from the terrace and started up the broad avenue. The band was playing "After the Ball Is Over." The crowd had thinned out. The lights were starting to dim. "What a fantastic park," said Harry. "Did you try many rides? The pirate ship? Or the navy ship sailing the deep ocean? The Arctic trip?" "No, but we've done all those things before," said Jack. "Did you get to experience the cyclone attraction, too?" said Bess. "The volcano? The big fire?" "Actually we've experienced all those things, too," said Jack. "Really?" said Bess. "So you must have been in this park a long time?" "No, I was talking about real life," Jack said matter-of-factly. "My sister and I travel in a magic

一直到日本茶园。” 安妮的眼睛亮了起来。她似乎知道杰克在想什么。 “好计划！”她说。“当然，我们一起去吧，”贝丝说。 哈利、贝斯、杰克和安妮都从阳台上走下来，沿着宽阔的林荫道走去。 乐队正在演奏《舞会结束后》。 人群渐渐散去了。 灯光开始变暗。 “多棒的公园啊。”哈利说。 “你试了很多次吗？”海盗船？ 还是在深海中航行的海军舰艇？ 北极之旅？”“没有，但我们以前都做过这些事。”杰克说。 “你也体验了飓风的吸引力吗？”贝丝说。 “火山?大火？”“事实上，我们也经历过这些事情。”杰克说。 “真的吗？”贝丝说。“那么你一定在这个公园里呆了很长时间了？”“不，我说的是现实生活，”杰克实事求是地说。 “我妹妹和我在魔法中旅行

tree house to different times and places and have lots of adventures." Annie grinned. "Jack's telling the truth," she said. "We've been all through time." Harry and Bess chuckled. "Sounds like a good act," said Harry. "It does, doesn't it?" said Bess delightedly. "Where else do you perform your act, besides Coney Island?" "We don't really perform this act for anyone," said Annie. "It's usually a secret." "But we'll show it to you," said Jack. "Lucky us," said Bess, winking at Harry. "The tree house is parked in the Japanese Tea Garden," said Annie. "You want to see it? It'll only take a minute." "Sure, why not?" said Harry. Bess and Harry followed Jack and Annie over to the wooden gate that led to the Japanese Tea Garden. They followed them through the gateway, up the pebble path, and over the small arched bridge to the cluster of trees. "There," said Annie. She pointed up at one of the trees.

树屋到不同的时间和地点，有很多的冒险。” 安妮咧嘴一笑。“杰克说的是实话，”她说。 “我们一直在穿越时间。” 哈利和贝斯咯咯地笑了起来。“听起来不错。”哈利说。 “是的，不是吗？”贝丝高兴地说。 “除了康尼岛，你还在哪儿表演呢？”“我们真的不为任何人表演这个节目，”安妮说。 “这通常是个秘密。”“但我们会给你看的，”杰克说。 “我们真幸运。”贝丝对哈利眨眨眼说。 “树屋停在日本茶园里，”安妮说。 “你想看吗？”只要一分钟。” “当然，为什么不呢？”哈利说。 贝丝和哈利跟着杰克和安妮来到通往日本茶园的木门前。 他们跟着他们穿过大门，走上鹅卵石小径，翻过小拱桥，来到那片树林。 “好了，”安妮说。她指着上面的一棵树。

"A tree house! Well, how about that?" said Harry. He sounded genuinely surprised. "I never knew that was here." "That's because it's only been here for a few hours," said Annie. "You want to watch us take off?" asked Jack. "Take off?" said Bess. "Yep, the tree house is going to take us back home to Pennsylvania now," said Jack, "to a time more than a hundred years from today."

“树屋！”嗯，怎么样？”哈利说。 他听起来真的很惊讶。 “我从来不知道这里有这种东西。” “那是因为它才来了几个小时，”安妮说。 “你想看我们起飞吗？”杰克问。 “起飞？”贝丝说。“是的，树屋现在要把我们带回宾夕法尼亚的家了，”杰克说，“回到一百多年后的今天。”

"In the future," Annie added. Bess and Harry laughed. "You two might be the looniest kids in the world," said Bess. "Or the best actors!" said Harry. "Wait and see…," said Annie. She held out her hand. "Bye, Harry. It's been great knowing you." Harry shook Annie's hand, and then he shook Jack's. Bess grabbed each of them and gave them big hugs. "You two kiddos are great!" she said, giggling. "You're just my kind of screwballs." They all laughed. Then Jack and Annie climbed up the rope ladder. Inside the tree house, Annie picked up the Pennsylvania book, and she and Jack looked out the window. "Bye!" They both waved to Harry and Bess. The Houdinis waved back. "I wish we could go home," Annie whispered as she pointed to a picture of Frog Creek. "Behold a miracle!" Jack shouted down to Bess and Harry. He clapped three times. One! Two! THREE! Then the wind started to blow. The tree house started to spin. It spun faster and faster.

“在将来，”安妮补充道。 贝丝和哈利笑了。“你们两个可能是世界上最疯狂的孩子，”贝丝说。 “或者最好的演员！”哈利说。 “等着瞧……”安妮说。 她伸出手来。“再见,哈利。 认识你真是太好了。” 哈利握了握安妮的手，然后又握了握杰克的手。 贝丝抓住他们每个人，给了他们一个大大的拥抱。 “你们两个孩子太棒了！”她咯咯地笑着说。 “你就是我那种怪人。” 他们都笑了。然后杰克和安妮爬上了绳梯。 在树屋里，安妮拿起那本宾夕法尼亚的书，她和杰克向窗外望去。 “再见!”他们都向哈利和贝斯挥手。 胡迪尼分子也向他挥手致意。“我希望我们能回家，”安妮指着一张青蛙溪的照片小声说。 “看，一个奇迹！”杰克朝下面的贝丝和哈利喊道。 他拍了三次掌。一个!两个!三!然后风开始刮了起来。 树屋开始旋转。 它转得越来越快。
