Ch1-That’s It

CHAPTER ONE That's It?

第一章就这样？

The day was cloudy and windy. Jack was sitting on the front porch, using a yellow marker to highlight a book called Caring for Your New Puppy. "Fetch, Oki!" Annie shouted, throwing a ball across their yard. Yip, yip! A scruffy black-and-white puppy raced after the ball and caught it in his mouth. "Bring it back!" Annie called. But Oki dashed away from her instead. "He never does what you say," Jack said with a laugh. "Yes, he does," said Annie. "He fetched! He just decided not to bring it back." She ran after Oki and wrestled the ball away from him. "Ready to go to the dog park now?" she called to Jack. "Yep." Jack highlighted a paragraph about puppy dental care. Then he closed the book and dropped it into his pack along with his yellow marker. "All set." "Did you pack supplies?" said Annie.

那天多云，刮风。 杰克坐在前廊上，用黄色记号笔在一本叫《照顾你的新小狗》的书上做记号。 “取回,冲电气!”安妮喊道，把一个球扔到院子的另一边。 尖叫,尖叫!一只脏兮兮的黑白相间的小狗追着球跑，叼着球。 “把它拿回来！”安妮叫。 但Oki却从她身边冲了出去。 “他从来不按你说的去做，”杰克笑着说。 “是的，他喜欢，”安妮说。 “他获取!他只是决定不把它带回来。” 她追上奥基，把球从他手里抢了过来。 “准备好去狗狗公园了吗？”她对杰克喊道。 “是的。”杰克在一段关于小狗牙齿护理的文字上加了高亮。 然后他合上书，把它和黄色马克笔一起放进书包里。 “都准备好了。”“你打包了吗？”安妮说。

"Just his leash and water bowl," said Jack. "And some puppy treats." He pulled the leash out of his pack. "Wait. Let's see if he'll walk with us on his own," said Annie. "If I know him, he'll take off," said Jack. "Come on, give him a chance. I've been working with him," said Annie. "Watch. Oki! Come!" The little dog ran to Jack and Annie. "See?" said Annie as they started down the sidewalk. "Do you really think he'll stay with us?" said Jack, putting the leash back in his pack. "Sure," said Annie. "Hey, do you have any money?" Jack asked. "What for?" said Annie. "I thought we could stop at the pet store," said Jack. "We need to get him a dog toothbrush and toothpaste. I was just reading that canine tooth care is very important. You have to—" Before Jack could finish, Oki yipped and dashed away down the sidewalk. "Oki, wait! Oki!" shouted Annie. "Stay!"

“只有他的皮带和水碗，”杰克说。 “还有一些狗粮。”他把皮带从他的背包里抽出来。 ”等。让我们看看他会不会自己和我们一起走，”安妮说。 “如果我了解他，他会离开的。”杰克说。 “来吧，给他一个机会。 我一直在和他一起工作，”安妮说。 ”看。冲电气!来!”小狗跑向杰克和安妮。 “看到了吗？”他们沿着人行道往前走时，安妮说。 “你真的认为他会和我们在一起吗？”杰克说着，把皮带放回他的背包里。 “当然，”安妮说。“嘿，你有钱吗？”杰克问。 “为什么？”安妮说。“我想我们可以在宠物店停一下，”杰克说。 “我们需要给他买一个狗牙刷和牙膏。 我刚读到狗的牙齿护理很重要。 你必须——”不等杰克说完，奥基就叫了一声，沿着人行道冲了出去。 “冲电气,等等!好吧！”安妮喊道。 “呆!”

But the puppy kept running. He crossed the street, bounded over the curb, and disappeared into the Frog Creek woods. "I knew it!" Jack said. "Oki!" Annie shouted. She and Jack raced into the woods after the puppy. Tree branches were waving in the wind. Dry autumn leaves shook and rustled. "Oki!" yelled Jack. "You were right!" wailed Annie. "We should have put him on the leash!" "Don't worry, we'll find him," said Jack. "Oki!" they called. "Oki!" Yip, yip! "Did you hear that?" said Jack. "Yes!" Annie and Jack took off running between the trees. They followed the yipping sounds—until they found the puppy at the base of a giant oak tree. The magic tree house was nestled high in the treetop. The rope ladder was swaying from side to side.

但是小狗一直在跑。 他穿过街道，跳过马路牙子，消失在青蛙溪的树林里。 “我就知道！”杰克说。“冲电气!”安妮喊道。 她和杰克跑进树林里去追小狗。 树枝在风中摇曳。 干燥的秋叶摇晃着，沙沙作响。 “好！”杰克喊道。“你是对的！”安妮哭着说。 “我们应该把他拴起来的！”“别担心，我们会找到他的，”杰克说。 “好吧！”他们喊道。“冲电气!”尖叫,尖叫!“你听到了吗？”杰克说。 “是的!”安妮和杰克在树林间跑开了。 他们跟着狗叫的声音，直到在一棵巨大的橡树下找到了小狗。 神奇的树屋高高地坐落在树梢上。 绳梯左右摇晃着。

"Good boy, Oki!" Annie said. She picked up the puppy and giggled as he licked her face. "How did you know it was back?" "Teddy?" Jack called, looking up at the tree house. "Teddy?" There was no answer, and no one looked down from the window. "Let's climb up," said Annie. "There must be a message inside." Yip? Yip? "Yes, you're coming with us!" Annie said to Oki. "Here, get in Jack's bag." Jack took off his backpack, and Annie lowered the puppy inside. "Is that going to be too heavy?" "No, he doesn't weigh much," said Jack, pulling on the pack. "Let's go, buddy." Jack carried Oki up the rope ladder, and Annie followed. When they had all climbed into the tree house, Jack took off his pack and set it on the floor. Oki scampered out and began sniffing every corner. "I don't see anything here," said Annie, looking around.

“好孩子，奥基！”安妮说。 她抱起小狗，当它舔她的脸时咯咯地笑。 “你怎么知道它回来了？”“泰迪?”杰克喊道，抬头看着树屋。 “泰迪?”没有回答，也没有人从窗口往下看。 “我们爬上去吧，”安妮说。 “里面一定有消息。” 尖叫?尖叫?“是的，你要和我们一起去！”安妮对奥基说。 “来，到杰克的包里去。” 杰克卸下背包，安妮把小狗放了进去。 “会不会太重了？”“不，他不重。”杰克说着拉上背包。 “走吧，伙计。”杰克抱着奥基上了绳梯，安妮跟在后面。 当他们都爬进树屋后，杰克脱下背包，把它放在地板上。 Oki跑了出来，开始嗅每一个角落。 “我在这儿什么也没看见，”安妮说着环顾四周。
