THE FAMOUS FIVE ADVENTURES FIVE HAVE A PUZZLING TIME

著名的五次冒险有一段令人费解的时期

CHAPTER ONE It was dark and very quiet in Kirrin Cottage- almost midnight. 'Poor George,' said Anne. 'Good thing you're going to the dentist tomorrow!' 'Don't remind me of that!' said George, walking up and down the bedroom. 'Go to sleep, Anne- I didn't mean to disturb you.'

第一章麒麟小屋里一片漆黑，非常安静——已经快半夜了。 “可怜的乔治，”安妮说。“幸好你明天要去看牙医！”“别提醒我！”乔治说着在卧室里走来走去。 “去睡吧，安妮——我不是故意打扰你的。”

George went to the window and looked out over Kirrin Bay. Timmy jumped off the bed and stood beside her, paws on the windowsill. Suddenly George stiffened and frowned. She stared across the bay, and then turned and called urgently to Anne. 'Anne! Quick, wake up! Come and see! There's a light shining out on Kirrin Island! Somebody's there- on MY island!' Anne sat up sleepily. 'What's the matter, George? What did you say?' 'I said, there's a light on Kirrin Island! Somebody must be there- without permission too! I'll get my boat and row out right now!' George was very angry indeed, and Timmy gave a little growl. He would most certainly deal with whoever it was on the island!

乔治走到窗前，眺望着窗外的麒麟湾。 蒂米跳下床，站在她身边，爪子搭在窗台上。 乔治突然僵住了，皱起了眉头。 她凝视着海湾对面，然后转过身来，急切地呼唤安妮。 “安妮!快，醒醒！快来看！麒麟岛上闪耀着光芒！有人在那儿——在我的岛上！”安妮睡意朦胧地坐了起来。 “怎么了，乔治？” 你说什么？“我说，麒麟岛上有光！”一定有人在那里——而且是未经允许的！我现在就把我的船划出去！”乔治确实很生气，蒂米也低声咆哮了一声。 他肯定会对付岛上的人！

George went quickly down to where Dick and Julian lay asleep and shook them roughly. 'Wake up! Something's going on over at Kirrin Island. WAKE UP, Julian.' George's excited voice not only woke up the boys, but her father as well. Everybody met in the boys' room. 'What on earth is all this about?' demanded George's father.

乔治迅速走到迪克和朱利安睡觉的地方，粗暴地摇了摇他们。 “醒来!麒麟岛那边出事了。 醒醒，朱利安。”乔治激动的声音不仅吵醒了孩子们，也吵醒了她的父亲。 大家都在男生休息室见面。 “这到底是怎么回事？”乔治的父亲问。
