5 Beaver Scouts Camp

Five Beaver Scouts camp. THE BUS BOUNCED ALONG a bumpy country road surrounded by tall trees. "Maybe that kid was right," Harris said to Zeke. "I think we really are in the middle of nowhere." Zeke looked puzzled.

五个海狸侦察兵营地。公共汽车沿着一条被大树环绕的崎岖不平的乡间小路颠簸而行。 “也许那孩子是对的，”哈里斯对齐克说。 “我认为我们真的是在荒无人烟的地方。” 齐克看起来很困惑。

"How can anyone be nowhere?" he asked. "We are always, actually somewhere, wherever that may be." Harris laughed. "That's true, but it's just an expression for a really far-away place." The bus turned onto an even narrower, bumpier dirt road.

“怎么会有人无处可去呢？”他问道。 “实际上，无论在哪里，我们总是在某个地方。” 哈里斯笑了。“这是真的，但它只是用来形容一个非常遥远的地方。” 公共汽车转到一条更窄、更颠簸的土路上。

"I take it back," said Harris. "I think this is officially the middle of nowhere." The bus rolled through a large entry gate. Above the gate swung an old wooden sign with the image of a beaver carved into it. The trees opened up into a clearing, and they passed a lake with a waterfall falling into it.

“我收回我的话。”哈里斯说。 “我认为这是一个荒无人烟的地方。” 公共汽车开过一个大入口大门。 大门上方挂着一块古老的木牌，上面刻着一只海狸的形象。 树林开阔成一片空地，他们经过一个湖泊，瀑布倾泻而下。

Harris got very excited. "I love being in the woods," he said. Zeke looked puzzled again. "We have woods on Tragas, but nothing like this," he explained. "The trees are striped, the lakes are yellow, and the waterfalls flow up, not down." The bus rolled to a stop in front of a flagpole in the center of a circle of cabins. Patrick stood up and spoke.

哈里斯非常兴奋。“我喜欢待在树林里，”他说。 齐克看起来又困惑了。 “我们在特拉加斯有树林，但没有这样的，”他解释说。 “树是条纹的，湖是黄色的，瀑布是向上流的，而不是向下流的。” 公共汽车在一圈小木屋中央的旗杆前停了下来。 帕特里克站起来说话了。

"Okay, listen up. They'll be four scouts to a cabin. Listen for your name and cabin assignment." Patrick then read the names of all the campers and their cabin numbers. "Cabin five—Harris, Zeke, Roger, and Paul," Patrick announced. "That's us," said Harris, grabbing his backpack and heading off the bus.

“好吧，听着。他们是四名侦察兵，一间小屋。 注意听你的名字和舱位安排。” 帕特里克接着念了所有露营者的名字和他们的小屋号。 “五号舱，哈里斯、齐克、罗杰和保罗。”帕特里克宣布。 “是我们。”哈里斯说着，抓起书包，下了车。

Harris and Zeke walked into the spare wooden cabin. On either side were a pair of bunk beds. A few seconds later, two more boys came in. "I'm Roger," said a tall, thin boy with red hair. "And this is my friend, Paul."

哈里斯和齐克走进那间空木屋。 两边各放着两张双层床。 几秒钟后，又来了两个男孩。 “我叫罗杰，”一个红头发的瘦高男孩说。 “这是我的朋友保罗。”
