Chapter 5

CHAPTER FIVE 'I hope we see where they hide the stuff, whatever it is, said Anne, trying to spy through the leaves. 'There they go with the bag.'

“我希望我们能看到他们把东西藏在什么地方，不管那是什么东西。”安妮说，试图透过树叶向外张望。 “他们拿着袋子走了。”

'I can see them,' said Dick, almost forgetting to whisper in his excitement. 'They're climbing a tree!' 'Yes- one's already up, and the other's passing the bag to him, whispered Julian. 'It must have a hollow trunk, I think. Oh, I wish Timmy was here!'

“我能看见他们，”迪克说，兴奋得几乎忘了轻声细语。 “他们在爬树！”“是的——一个已经起来了，另一个正在把包递给他，”朱利安小声说。 “我想它的树干一定是中空的。 哦，我真希望蒂米在这里！”

'Now the second man's trying to climb up, too, said George. 'The first one wants help, I suppose. The bag must be stuck.'

“现在第二个人也想爬上去。”乔治说。 “我想，第一个人需要帮助。 袋子一定是卡住了。”

Both men were now up the tree, trying to stuff the bag down some kind of hollow there. At last there was a thud as if the bag had dropped down.

现在两个人都在树上，试图把袋子塞进某个洞里。 最后，只听得一声巨响，好像袋子掉了下来。

'If only Timmy was here!' said Julian again. 'It's maddening to lie here and do nothing- but we'd be no match for those two men!' Then a sudden noise came to their ears- the scampering of feet. Then came a familiar sound. 'Woof!' 'Timmy!' yelled Julian and George together, and Julian leapt up and pushed his way out of his hiding place at once. 'Tell Tim to guard that tree, George, quick!'

“要是蒂米在就好了！”朱利安又问。 “躺在这里什么也不做真让人抓狂——但我们绝对不是那两个男人的对手！”突然，一个声音传到了他们的耳朵里——是脚步声。 然后传来一个熟悉的声音。 “汪!”“蒂米!朱利安和乔治一起喊道，朱利安跳起来，立刻从藏身之处挤了出来。 “叫蒂姆守住那棵树，乔治，快！”
