6. A Bad Surprise

6 A Bad Surprise Stanley closed the tomb's door behind him and set off, following the hieroglyphs at every branch. Before long, he came to another button on the wall, just like the one in the tomb. He pressed it, and once again, a large panel—a huge block of stone—swung open. Stanley stepped outside into the fresh air.

斯坦利关上了墓门，跟着每根树枝上的象形文字出发了。 不久，他来到了墙上的另一个按钮，就像坟墓里的那个一样。 他按了一下，又一次，一块大嵌板——一块巨大的石头打开了。 斯坦利走到外面呼吸新鲜空气。

Sir Hawara and his guards came rushing over when they saw Stanley. "Well?" Sir Hawara demanded, hopping on one foot and then the other. "The scrolls?" "I found them," Stanley told him. Suddenly he felt quite proud: He had located the priceless Giant Scrolls of Papyrus! And now he was safely outside, in the warm sunshine! It had all been worth it. "And I found the passageway out. There are lots of branches in the passageway, but all you have to do is follow the black hieroglyphs to get out..." "Excellent!" Sir Hawara rubbed his hands together. "I must get the

哈原爵士和他的侍卫们看到斯坦利后，急忙赶了过来。 “嗯?”花原爵士要求道，一边用一只脚跳，一边又用另一只脚跳。 “卷轴?”“我找到他们了，”斯坦利告诉他。 突然，他感到非常自豪:他找到了价值连城的纸莎草巨卷!现在他安全地在外面，在温暖的阳光下!一切都是值得的。 “我找到了出去的通道。 通道里有很多树枝，但你只要跟着黑色的象形文字就能出去……” “太好了!”花原爵士搓了搓双手。 “我得去拿……

crew ready. Meet me back here in the morning... at daybreak we take the scrolls!" He climbed onto his camel and rode away, leaving Stanley bewildered. Just then he felt a tug at his shirt. He turned to find Amisi there, glaring at him. "That's who you've been working with? That's the worst looter of Egyptian treasures in the country! My father and I have been trying to catch him red-handed for years. I guess I was wrong about you." And she stomped off.

机组人员准备好了。明天早上在这里见我…… 天一亮，我们就拿卷轴!”他爬上骆驼骑走了，留下斯坦利一头雾水。 就在这时，他感到有人拉了一下他的衬衫。 他转过身来，发现阿米西正瞪着他。 “这就是和你一起工作的人?” 那是国内最坏的埃及宝藏掠夺者!多年来，我父亲和我一直想当场抓住他。 我想我看错你了。” 她跺着脚走开了。

Stanley didn't know what to think. He climbed back onto his camel and followed Sir Hawara's party back to the bazaar. He was going to find out just what was going on. Back at Sir Hawara's headquarters, henchmen were everywhere. Stanley eased himself into the shadows and sneaked around to the back. He lifted the tent flap and peeked inside. It was even darker and smokier than before. Stanley took a deep breath of nice, fresh outside air. Then, using the limberness he had developed by slipping under his bedroom door at home, Stanley slipped under the flap.

斯坦利不知道该怎么想。 他爬上骆驼，跟着哈原爵士一行人回到集市。 他要弄清楚到底发生了什么事。 回到哈原爵士的总部，到处都是他的追随者。 斯坦利蹑手蹑脚地钻进阴影里，绕到后面。 他掀开帐篷的门帘，往里面偷看。 这里比以前更黑，烟雾更浓。 斯坦利深深地吸了一口室外清新的空气。 然后，斯坦利利用他在家里从卧室门底下钻出来的柔韧性，从门板底下钻了进去。

Sir Hawara was on his cushion, talking in a low voice. Cautiously, Stanley crept closer so he could hear. "What's that? In the shadows?" A guard jumped up, pointing toward Stanley! There was no place to hide! Stanley plastered himself against a large container standing upright behind him and froze. "It's nothing," said Sir Hawara, clapping his hands for silence. "Just the sarcophagus. It's a very realistic painting on the cover... quite a find. Now, pay attention to my plans!" Stanley held himself perfectly still and listened keenly.

花原爵士坐在坐垫上，低声说话。 斯坦利小心翼翼地靠近他，以便能听到。 “那是什么?在暗处?”一个卫兵跳了起来，指着斯坦利!没有地方可躲!斯坦利把自己贴在他身后的一个大容器上，僵住了。 “没什么，”哈原爵士说，一边拍手示意安静。 “只有石棺。封面上是一幅非常写实的画…… 真是个发现。现在，请注意我的计划!”斯坦利静静地听着。
