CHAPTER ONE I Know Her! Jack sat in a sunny spot on the front porch, studying a book of magic tricks. He was planning to put on a magic show for his parents and grandparents. He took a sip of lemonade, then started making a list in his notebook:

第一章我认识她！杰克坐在前廊阳光充足的地方，研究一本魔术书。 他计划为他的父母和祖父母表演一场魔术表演。 他喝了一口柠檬水，开始在笔记本上列单子：

flying paper clips "Hey." Annie tapped on the screen door. "Let's do something." "I'm already doing something," said Jack. He took another sip of lemonade and added more tricks to his list: magical clinging pen great pepper trick Annie gasped. "Did you hear that?" she asked. She opened the door and came out onto the porch. "Hear what?" said Jack. He added another trick: steal-the-strength trick "That whooshing sound," said Annie. "Whooshing sound?" Jack read his list and decided he still needed two or three more tricks. "Like the tree house just whooshed into the woods!" said Annie. "Yeah, yeah," said Jack. He flipped through the pages of his book.

飞来飞去的回形针“嘿。”安妮轻轻地敲了敲纱门。 “让我们做点什么吧。”“我已经在做点什么了。”杰克说。 他又喝了一口柠檬水，在他的清单上增加了更多的技巧：神奇的粘笔技巧伟大的胡椒技巧安妮倒吸了一口气。 “你听到了吗？”她问。 她打开门，走到门廊上。 “听到什么？”杰克说。他又增加了一个戏法：偷力戏法。“那嗖嗖的声音，”安妮说。 “嗖的一声?”杰克看了看他的清单，决定他还需要两三个技巧。 “就像树屋嗖的一声冲进了树林！”安妮说。 “是的，是的，”杰克说。他翻着书。

"Come on, go with me," Annie pleaded. "Let's check the woods again. Please." "We've already checked five times since Tuesday," said Jack. "Once more won't kill you," said Annie. "I have this feeling… I'm serious." Jack sighed. "Okay. You win," he said. "One more time." He put his notebook and pencil into his backpack. Leaving his book of magic tricks on the porch, he stood up and followed Annie down the steps and across their yard. "Aren't you dying to find another secret of greatness for Merlin?" Annie asked as they headed up the sidewalk. "And what about the magic mist? Don't you want to have another great talent for an hour?" "Of course," said Jack. "But I'm also tired of looking for the tree house and not finding it! For two weeks you've had these hunches." Jack and Annie crossed the street and headed into the Frog Creek woods. Winding through the shadows of trees, Jack took a deep breath, inhaling the scent of warm earth and summer leaves. Hidden birds sang from the tree branches. As Jack

“来吧，跟我走吧，”安妮恳求道。 “我们再去树林里看看。 请。”“从星期二开始，我们已经检查了五次了。”杰克说。 “再来一次不会杀了你的，”安妮说。 “我有这种感觉……我是认真的。” 杰克叹了口气。“好吧。你赢了，”他说。 “再来一次。”他把笔记本和铅笔放进背包里。 他把魔术书放在门廊上，站起来跟着安妮走下台阶，穿过他们的院子。 “难道你不想为梅林找到另一个伟大的秘诀吗？”安妮问，他们朝人行道走去。 “那魔法雾呢？” 难道你不想在一个小时内再拥有一个伟大的天赋吗？”“当然，”杰克说。 “但我也厌倦了找树屋却找不到！”两个星期以来，你一直有这种预感。” 杰克和安妮穿过街道，向青蛙溪树林走去。 杰克蜿蜒穿过树影，深吸了一口气，呼吸着温暖的泥土和夏日树叶的气味。 隐蔽的鸟儿在树枝上歌唱。 杰克

and Annie drew closer to the tallest oak, Jack's heart started to pound. This time, something was there, high in the branches of the tree. "Whoosh," Annie said softly. Jack grinned as he looked up at the small wooden house nestled high in the branches. "Okay," he said. "I'm glad we checked." Annie ran to the rope ladder and started up. Jack followed. Inside the magic tree house, the shadows of branches danced on the wooden walls. A piece of paper, a gold ring, a tiny bottle, a small book, and a scroll were waiting on the floor. "A new message from Merlin!" said Annie. She picked up the scroll, unrolled it, and read aloud:

当安妮走近那棵最高的橡树时，杰克的心开始怦怦直跳。 这一次，有什么东西在那里，高挂在树枝上。 “呼，”安妮轻声说。 杰克笑了笑，抬头看着那座高高耸立在树枝上的小木屋。 “好吧，”他说。“我很高兴我们检查过了。” 安妮跑到绳梯前，跳了起来。 杰克跟着。在魔法树屋里，树枝的影子在木墙上跳舞。 一张纸、一枚金戒指、一个小瓶子、一本小书和一卷卷轴等在地上。 “梅林带来了新消息！”安妮说。 她拿起书卷，展开，大声读道：

Dear Jack and Annie I hope you enjoyed your time with the houdinis. I ask you now to find the third secret of greatness from a woman named florence nightingale. -M "Florence Nightingale?" said Annie. "I know her! I gave a report on her!" "I just know her name. Who is she?" said Jack. "She's amazing! She's one of my heroes!" said Annie. "Yeah, okay, but what did she do?" asked Jack. "Florence Nightingale lived in the 1800s, in England," said Annie. "The English army was fighting in this place called the Crimea, on the Black Sea, and Florence Nightingale was a nurse there. The soldiers called her the Lady with the Lamp, because after the hospital was quiet and dark at night, she went alone from bed to bed with

亲爱的杰克和安妮我希望你们和胡迪尼在一起过得愉快。 我现在请你从一个叫弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔的女人那里找到伟大的第三个秘诀。 “弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔？”安妮说。 “我认识她！”我给她做了报告！”“我只知道她的名字。 她是谁？”杰克问。“她是惊人的!她是我的偶像之一！”安妮说。 “是啊，好吧，但她做了什么？”杰克问。 “弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔生活在19世纪的英国，”安妮说。 “英国军队当时在黑海沿岸一个叫克里米亚的地方作战，弗洛伦斯·南丁格尔是那里的一名护士。 士兵们称她为“提灯女士”，因为在医院夜幕降临后，她独自一人从一张床走到另一张床
