2. Rubber Ducky Rescue

2 Rubber Ducky Rescue Beacon Jill started the boat again, and asked for a volunteer driver. Zoey jumped up and drove for a few minutes, and then came back to her seat with a rubber ducky souvenir. She was all smiles as Beacon Jill started speaking. "If you look right there," she said, pointing to something in the distance, "you can see the very top of the Old

2橡胶鸭子救援灯塔吉尔再次启动了船，并要求一个志愿司机。 佐伊跳了起来，开了几分钟车，然后拿着一只橡皮鸭子纪念品回到座位上。 比肯吉尔开始说话时，她满脸笑容。 “如果你看这里，”她指着远处的什么东西说，“你可以看到老城堡的顶端

North Church. When British soldiers arrived in Boston in 1775, Paul Revere put signals there to warn the colonists. The very next day, the Revolutionary War broke out!" Mr. Lambchop's eyes lit up. He raised his hand to ask a question. "Is the Old North Church a part of the Freedom Trail?"

北教堂。1775年，当英国士兵到达波士顿时，保罗·里维尔在那里放上了警告殖民者的信号。 就在第二天，独立战争爆发了!”兰切普先生的眼睛亮了起来。 他举手提问。 “老北教堂是自由之路的一部分吗?”

Beacon Jill nodded. "The Freedom Trail is a pathway that connects all of Boston's important historic sites," she explained. "You can walk easily from one to the other." "Sounds like the perfect way to start exploring Boston's history," Mr. Lambchop said. Arthur didn't look very happy. "What about the science museum?" he complained. "When can we do what I want to do?" Mr. Lambchop sighed, too. "Everyone will get to do what they want to do in Boston, Arthur," he said. "You just need to be patient." "The Freedom Trail is wonderful," Beacon Jill told Arthur. "You'll learn how the colonists fought for freedom. They wanted to be able to make the rules for themselves!" "I know just how they felt," Arthur grumbled. "I would like to be in charge for once!" Before anyone could reply, Zoey shrieked. "No! My ducky!" One minute, the rubber ducky was in Zoey's hands. The next minute, he was floating in the Charles River.

灯塔吉尔点点头。“自由之路是一条连接波士顿所有重要历史遗迹的道路，”她解释说。 “你可以轻松地从一个地方走到另一个地方。” “这听起来是探索波士顿历史的完美方式，”兰切普说。 阿瑟看上去不太高兴。 “那科学博物馆呢?”他抱怨道。 “我们什么时候可以做我想做的事?”兰切普先生也叹了口气。 “在波士顿，每个人都可以做他们想做的事，亚瑟，”他说。 “你只需要有耐心。” “自由之路太棒了，”比肯吉尔告诉阿瑟。 “你将了解殖民者是如何为自由而战的。 他们希望能够为自己制定规则!”“我知道他们的感受。”阿瑟咕哝道。 “我想当一次负责人!”还没等别人回答，佐伊就尖叫起来。 “不!我的极好的!”前一分钟，橡皮小鸭还在佐伊手里。 下一分钟，他就漂浮在查尔斯河上了。

Zoey started to cry. "I just came up with a name for him," she said through her tears. "I was going to call him Lucky." He bounced along on the little waves made by a passing sailboat. A man in a blue kayak called up to her. "Is that your duck?" he said. Zoey's dad yelled back, "Yes! Can you get him?" The kayaker stuck the paddle way out of his boat. But when he tried to scoop up the ducky, he only dropped him back into the water. Lucky got up a little burst of speed, and it looked like he was swimming away.

佐伊哭了起来。“我刚给他起了个名字，”她流着泪说。 “我打算叫他幸运。” 他乘着一艘驶过的帆船掀起的小波浪颠簸前行。 一个驾着蓝色皮划艇的男人向她喊道。 “那是你的鸭子吗?”他说。 佐伊的爸爸喊道:“是的!你能找到他吗?”皮划艇运动员把船桨伸到船外。 但当他试图把鸭子捞起来时，他只是把鸭子扔回了水里。 幸运仔突然加快了速度，看起来好像要游走了。

Zoey covered her eyes with her hands. Her shoulders were shaking, even when her mom put her arm around her. "It's okay," she said. "We'll find a way to get him." "What if I try to get a little closer?" Beacon Jill said, helpfully. "Yes, please. Whatever you can do to bring back Lucky," Zoey cried. "Zoey has such nice manners," whispered Mrs. Lambchop. "I hope she can get Lucky back." But moving the tour duck only made the rubber duck float off in the other direction. And even if they got right next to the ducky, nobody could reach into the river. Well, nobody except Flat Stanley. He didn't know anything about giving a speech at a medical conference. But he did know how to help out in an emergency. All he had to do was look at his brother. They had a whole conversation with their eyes. "We can do it!" Arthur's look said. "I think we can help," Stanley told Beacon Jill. "We can be the lifeguards for Lucky!"

佐伊用手捂住眼睛。 即使妈妈搂着她，她的肩膀也在颤抖。 “没关系，”她说。“我们会想办法抓到他的。” “如果我试着靠近一点呢?”比肯吉尔很有帮助地说。 “是的,请。只要你能把幸运仔找回来，就行。”佐伊哭着说。 “佐伊很有礼貌，”兰切普太太低声说。 “我希望她能把Lucky找回来。” 但是移动游鸭只会让橡皮鸭向另一个方向漂去。 即使他们就在鸭子旁边，也没人能够到河里。 除了Flat Stanley没人。 他对在医学会议上发表演讲一无所知。 但他确实知道如何在紧急情况下提供帮助。 他所要做的就是看着他哥哥。 他们用眼睛进行了一次完整的对话。 “我们能做到!”阿瑟的表情说。 “我想我们能帮上忙，”斯坦利告诉灯塔吉尔。 “我们可以成为Lucky的救生员!”

"I can't let you dive in," said Beacon Jill. "I'm sorry, but swimming is not allowed on the duck tour." Zoey let out another sob. "I don't need to go swimming," Stanley explained. "All you need to do is lower me into the water." "Sorry. There is a rule against that, too," said Beacon Jill. "We can't use the life preservers for any reason other than saving lives." "We will be saving Lucky's life," Arthur pointed out.

“我不能让你跳进水里。”灯塔吉尔说。 “很抱歉，鸭子之旅不允许游泳。” 佐伊又呜咽了一声。“我不需要去游泳，”斯坦利解释说。 “你要做的就是把我放进水里。” “对不起。这也是有规定的。”比肯吉尔说。 “除了拯救生命，我们不能出于任何原因使用救生衣。” “我们要救幸运仔的命。”阿瑟指出。
