8 Help from Anubis

Chapter Eight HELP FROM ANUBIS Gustavo crouched low to the ground. He was hidden behind a throne, with Nebet marching toward him. He could see Kiki and Bek hiding behind piles of jewels. The light from Bek's torch flickered over their worried faces. "Where are you?" growled Nebet. Gustavo put his hands together with his

第八章阿努比斯的帮助古斯塔沃蹲在地上。 他藏在宝座后面，尼贝特向他走来。 他看见琪琪和贝克躲在一堆珠宝后面。 贝克火把的光在他们焦虑的脸上闪烁。 “你在哪儿？”尼贝特咆哮道。 古斯塔沃双手合十

thumbs sticking up, and held them upright. The torchlight threw the shadow made by his hands onto the wall in front of Nebet. It was shaped just like the head of a jackal. Gustavo moved his hands forward. The shadow grew larger. Nebet stopped and stared, her eyes wide. "Anubis!" she said with a gasp.

竖起大拇指，把它们竖起来。 火把的光把他双手的影子投在尼贝特面前的墙上。 它的形状就像豺狼的头。 古斯塔沃向前伸出双手。 影子越来越大。内贝特停了下来，瞪大了眼睛。 “阿努比斯！”她喘着气说。

Gustavo moved his fingers like a pair of scissors, so that the jackal seemed to open and close its jaws. Nebet shook so hard her shawl fell from her shoulders. "Please don't hurt me, Anubis!" she shrieked. "I wasn't going to steal anything, honestly!" She turned and fled. Gustavo heard her scramble over the rubble pile, and then her pounding feet echoed through the tunnel as she raced for the exit. After a couple of moments, the inside of the pyramid was

古斯塔沃像一把剪刀一样移动着他的手指，所以这只豺狼似乎在张开和闭合它的下巴。 内贝特抖得厉害，她的披肩都从肩上掉了下来。 “请不要伤害我，阿努比斯！”她尖叫道。 “老实说，我没打算偷任何东西！”她转身逃走了。 古斯塔沃听到她爬过瓦砾堆，然后她奔向出口的脚步声在隧道里回荡。 过了一会儿，金字塔的内部

silent. "It worked!" Gustavo shouted. "She's gone!" The cheers of the three friends echoed off the stone walls. Gustavo and Kiki high-fived. "Yay!" shouted Kiki. Bek looked confused, then stuck his hand up for a high-five as well. He still looked confused after he'd done it! "Let's seal off that chamber before any of the robbers come back," said Gustavo. Kiki giggled. "If they dare!" They carefully placed the shabti figures back where they belonged. Then Kiki showed Gustavo and Bek how to rig up pulleys and levers. It was hard work, but soon they'd shifted almost all the rubble they needed to

沉默。“成功了!”Gustavo喊道。 “她走了!”三个朋友的欢呼声在石墙上回荡。 古斯塔沃和琪琪击掌。 “耶！”琪琪喊道。贝克看起来很困惑，然后他也举起手来击掌。 做完之后，他看起来仍然很困惑！“在强盗回来之前，我们把那个房间封起来吧。”古斯塔沃说。 Kiki咯咯笑了。“如果他们敢的话！”他们小心翼翼地把沙比提雕像放回原位。 然后琪琪向古斯塔沃和贝克展示了如何装配滑轮和杠杆。 这是一项艰苦的工作，但很快他们就移走了几乎所有需要移走的碎石

the doorway. "Let's get the mortar ready," said Gustavo. Kiki grabbed the sack, then stopped. "What's up?" Gustavo asked. "Water," Kiki said in a small voice. "We need water to mix it and we didn't bring any." Gustavo groaned. "Oh no!" But Bek took a stone jar from his bag. "Here," he said. Gustavo grinned with relief. "Excellent!

门口。“让我们准备好迫击炮，”古斯塔沃说。 琪琪抓住袋子，然后停了下来。 “怎么了?”Gustavo问道。 “水，”琪琪小声说。 “我们需要水来混合，但我们没有带水来。” Gustavo呻吟着。“哦,不!”但是贝克从他的包里拿出了一个石罐子。 “给你，”他说。古斯塔沃如释重负地笑了。 “太好了!

Thanks!" "It's a good thing you sneaked into the pyramid too, Bek," said Kiki. "Definitely," said Gustavo. "This wouldn't have worked without you!" They stacked the rubble across the doorway, using the mortar to stick the rocks together. Gradually, Pharaoh Khufu's sarcophagus and his magnificent treasures disappeared from view behind the wall they were building. Between them, Kiki and Bek held Gustavo up on their shoulders so he could slot the last rock into place. He took a last glimpse of the treasure chamber. I hope no

谢谢!”“贝克，你也溜进了金字塔，这是件好事，”琪琪说。 “当然，”古斯塔沃说。 “没有你，这一切都不会成功！”他们把碎石堆在门口，用迫击炮把岩石粘在一起。 渐渐地，法老胡夫的石棺和他的瑰宝消失在他们正在建造的城墙后面。 在他们中间，Kiki和Bek把Gustavo扛在肩膀上，这样他就可以把最后一块石头插进去。 他最后看了一眼宝库。 我希望没有
