Shiny Gold Coins

Shiny Gold Coins

闪亮的金币

The ogre dropped the bags onto the table. Gold coins spilled from one bag. Smiling, the ogre began to count. " One . . . Two . . . Three . . . "

食人魔把袋子扔到桌子上。 金币从一个袋子里溢出。 食人魔微笑着开始数数。 “一……二……三……”

He made tall stacks of shiny gold coins. Jack watched the stacks grow taller and taller. On and on the ogre counted. " Twenty-six . . . Thirty-one . . . "

他把闪闪发光的金币堆得高高的。 杰克看着这些堆叠越来越高。 食人魔不停地数着。 “二十六……三十一……”

At last the ogre began counting more slowly. " Fifty-two . . . Fifty-eight . . . Sixty-six—Zzz . . . Zzz . . . Zzz . . . "

最后，食人魔开始慢慢地数数。 “五十二……五十八……六十六—Zzz……Zzz……Zzz……”

The house shook as the ogre snored. " Now! " Jack thought. It was time to escape!

当怪物打鼾时，房子震动了。 “现在!”杰克想。 是时候逃跑了！

He jumped out of the oven. Jack didn't see the ogre's wife anywhere. He tiptoed across the floor.

他从烤箱里跳了出来。 杰克在任何地方都没有看到食人魔的妻子。 他踮着脚走过地板。
