CHAPTER ONE Dream Vacation "Did you see anything amazing?" Annie asked Jack. They were standing on the warm, sunny shore of Frog Creek Lake, packing up their new swimming gear—flippers, masks, snorkels, and red life vests. "Not really," said Jack. "Weeds and rocks." "Same here," said Annie. "How was your new mask?"

第一章梦幻假期“你看到什么神奇的东西了吗？”安妮问杰克。 他们站在温暖、阳光明媚的青蛙溪湖岸边，收拾他们的新游泳装备——脚蹼、面具、呼吸管和红色救生衣。 “不完全是，”杰克说。“杂草和岩石。” “我也是，”安妮说。“你的新面具怎么样？”

"Cool," said Jack as he put his glasses back on. "It didn't leak or fog up at all." "Great," said Annie, pulling a tunic over her bathing suit. Jack and Annie stepped into their flip-flops. Jack picked up the waterproof swim bag with all their gear, and they headed to the bike rack. "I'd love to snorkel around a coral reef someday," he said. "Me too!" said Annie. Jack strapped the bulky bag to the rack over his back wheel. He and Annie pulled on their helmets and pedaled out of the lake parking lot. "Remember when Randy and Jenny snorkeled around a coral reef last spring?" Jack said. "Oh, right, they went to a place called Cozumel with their parents," Annie said. "They did all kinds of cool stuff. Hey, should we call them? They said they'd be back from their aunt's house by two." "Sure," said Jack. "Hold on, stop," said Annie.

“太酷了，”杰克一边戴上眼镜一边说。 “它根本没有泄漏或起雾。” “太好了，”安妮说着，在泳衣外面套了件束腰外衣。 杰克和安妮穿上他们的人字拖。 杰克拿起防水的游泳包，里面装着他们所有的装备，他们朝自行车架走去。 “我希望有一天能在珊瑚礁周围浮潜，”他说。 “我也是！”安妮说。杰克把那个大袋子绑在后轮上方的行李架上。 他和安妮戴上头盔，蹬着自行车离开了湖边停车场。 “还记得去年春天兰迪和珍妮在珊瑚礁周围浮潜吗？”杰克说。 “哦，对了，他们和父母去了一个叫科苏梅尔的地方，”安妮说。 “他们做了各种很酷的事情。 我们要打电话给他们吗？他们说两点钟从姨妈家回来。” “当然，”杰克说。“等一下，停下，”安妮说。

Jack and Annie pulled their bikes over to the side of the quiet road. Annie reached into her handlebar bag and took out the old cell phone their dad had given them when he had gotten a newer model. "Hey, we have a text from Randy." She read the message. "Darn. He says they're not coming back until tomorrow." "That's okay. Let's just go home, then," said Jack. He started pedaling again and turned at the corner. He started up their street, heading for their house. "Jack, stop!" Annie called from behind him.

杰克和安妮把自行车停在安静的路边。 安妮把手伸进车把包里，拿出爸爸买新手机时送给他们的那部旧手机。 “兰迪给我们发了条短信” 她读了留言。“该死的。 他说他们明天才回来。” “没关系。那我们就回家吧。”杰克说。 他又开始踩踏板，在拐角处拐了个弯。 他沿着他们家的街道出发，朝他们家走去。 “杰克,住手!”安妮在他身后喊道。

Jack stopped his bike and looked back. Annie was speeding after him. "What's wrong?" he called. She screeched to a halt. "We have a message from Teddy!" she cried, waving a yellow piece of paper. "When I put the phone away, I noticed this in my handlebar bag!" "How did it get there?" said Jack.

杰克停下自行车，回头看了看。 安妮超速追着他。 “怎么了？”他喊道。 她尖叫着停了下来。“我们有特迪的口信！”她喊道，挥舞着一张黄色的纸。 “当我把手机收起来的时候，我注意到我的车把包里有这个！”“它是怎么到那儿去的？”杰克问。

"I don't know!" said Annie. "Teddy must have put it there when we were snorkeling! Or maybe when my bike was in our yard or parked at the library! Or maybe—" "Okay, okay, just read it to me," said Jack. Annie read breathlessly: Jack and Annie, Please meet me at the tree house as soon as possible. Teddy "Let's go!" said Jack. Annie put the message back in the bag, and she and Jack sped up the street. When they reached the edge of the Frog Creek woods, they turned and rode their bikes between the trees, bouncing over roots, pine needles, and leaves. "Teddy hasn't come to Frog Creek in a long time!" said Annie. "I know!" said Jack. "I hope nothing's wrong back in Camelot!" said Annie. "I hope Morgan and Merlin are all right."

“我不知道！”安妮说。 “一定是我们浮潜的时候，泰迪把它放在那里的！”或者当我的自行车在院子里或停在图书馆的时候！或者——”“好吧，好吧，读给我听。”杰克说。 安妮上气不接下气地念着：杰克，安妮，请尽快到树屋来见我。 “我们走吧！”杰克说。 安妮把信放回包里，她和杰克在街上加速行驶。 当他们到达青蛙溪树林的边缘时，他们转过身来，在树木之间骑自行车，在树根、松针和树叶上蹦蹦跳跳。 “泰迪很久没来青蛙溪了！”安妮说。 “我知道！”杰克说。“我希望卡梅洛特那边没出什么事！”安妮说。 “我希望摩根和梅林都没事。”
