Chapter 7

CHAPTER SEVEN Well, there's one thing we do know- and that is that a monkey wouldn't light a fire or a lamp at night on the island, said Dick. 'That must have been done by a human being- and he MUST still be on the island if his monkey's here.' 'Follow the trail again, Tim,' said Julian. 'You may do better this time. Go on!'

第七章嗯，有一件事我们是知道的——那就是猴子是不会在夜里在岛上生火或点灯的，迪克说。 “那一定是一个人干的——如果他的猴子在这儿，他一定还在岛上。“再沿着小路走一遍，蒂姆，”朱利安说。 “这次你可以做得更好。 继续!”

But before Timmy could put his head down again, something odd happened. A strange noise came from the west side of the island- the MISERABLE HOWLING of a dog! 'Oh, quick- he sounds as if he's in trouble!' cried George. 'What's happening? Quick, Julian, quick, Timmy! Oh, poor thing, there he goes, howling again. We must find him, we must!' The Five set off in the direction of the howls, Timmy racing ahead anxiously. He knew far better than the others that a dog was in sore trouble- a howling of that kind meant not only pain, but terror.

但在蒂米再次低下头之前，奇怪的事情发生了。 一种奇怪的声音从岛的西面传来——那是一条狗凄厉的嚎叫！“哦，快点儿——听起来他好像遇到麻烦了！”乔治叫道。 “发生了什么?快，朱利安，快，蒂米！可怜的小家伙，他又嚎了。 我们一定要找到他，一定要！”五个人朝着嚎叫的方向出发了，蒂米焦急地跑在前面。 他比别人更清楚一条狗有大麻烦了——这样的嚎叫不仅意味着痛苦，而且意味着恐惧。

Julian was now in front of the other three, and was heading for the SEAWEED spread shore on the west of the island. George suddenly gave a cry, and pointed.

朱利安现在走在其他三个人的前面，朝岛西边长满海草的海岸走去。 乔治突然叫了一声，指了指。

'There's the monkey again! He's seen us- he's racing away!' 'Maybe he'll lead us to wherever the dog is, shouted Julian. The monkey scampered in front, just ahead of Timmy. They all came to the shore, and stopped when they came to the piled- up heaps of SEAWEED.

“猴子又来了！”他看见我们了——他跑开了！“也许他会把我们带到狗在的地方，”朱利安喊道。 猴子跑在前面，就在蒂米的前面。 他们都向岸边游去，走到一堆海草跟前停了下来。
