食人魔的妻子

Jack stared at the woman. " Your husband is an ogre?" he said. " Is he the mean ogre who steals gold?"

杰克盯着那个女人。 “你丈夫是个食人魔?”他说。 “他就是那个偷金子的恶毒食人魔吗?”

" Yes! " the woman said. " He steals gold and treasure from people. And do you know what his favorite food is?" Jack shook his head. " No. "

“是的!”女人说。 “他偷人们的金子和财宝。你知道他最喜欢吃什么吗?” 杰克摇了摇头。“不知道。”

" It's baked boys on bread! " the ogre's wife said. Jack gulped.

“这是烤男孩面包!”食人魔的妻子说。 杰克倒吸一口气。

" You must get out of here, " the woman went on. " My husband is out hunting now. But he will return soon and he will eat you! "

“你必须离开这里，”女人继续说。 “我丈夫现在出去打猎了。但是他很快就会回来吃你的!”

Jack knew he should leave at once. Mother told him stories about the mean ogre. The ogre stole from people. And worse—the terrible ogre ate boys!

杰克知道他应该马上离开。 母亲给他讲了关于那个卑鄙的食人魔的故事。 食人魔偷了人的东西。 更糟糕的是，可怕的怪物吃掉了男孩！
