6 Canoe Adventure

Six canoe adventure. "OKAY, EVERYONE, LISTEN UP!" Patrick shouted as the campers gathered around. "In a few minutes, we'll head over to the mess hall for lunch." "Mess hall?" Zeke whispered to Harris. "I've always been told not to make a mess with food."

六独木舟冒险。“好了，大家听好了！”帕特里克喊道，营员们围了过来。 “再过几分钟，我们就去食堂吃午饭。” “食堂?”齐克低声对哈里斯说。 “我总是被告知不要把食物弄得一团糟。”

Harris smiled. "It's just another word for the place where we eat," he explained. Patrick continued. "After lunch, we'll meet at the river to teach you how to canoe and take a trip down the river. So... welcome to Beaver Scouts Camp!"

哈里斯笑了。“这只是我们吃饭的地方的另一种说法，”他解释说。 帕特里克继续说。“午饭后，我们在河边见面，教你怎么划独木舟，然后顺流而下。 所以…欢迎来到海狸童子军营地！”

In the mess hall, Harris and Zeke sat with Roger and Paul. "So, where are you guys from?" Roger asked. "We both go to Jefferson Elementary School," Harris said quickly, hoping to avoid any talk about Zeke's true home. "I'm originally from Tragas," said Zeke. He really didn't have to say that! Harris thought.

在食堂里，哈里斯和齐克与罗杰和保罗坐在一起。 “那么，你们是哪里人？”罗杰问道。 “我们都在杰斐逊小学上学，”哈里斯很快地说，希望避免谈论齐克真正的家。 “我来自特拉加斯，”齐克说。 他真的没必要那么说！哈里斯认为。

"Tragas?" said Paul. "Where's that? Never even heard of it." "It's pretty far from here," Zeke replied. Harris quickly changed the subject. "I really like playing soccer," he said. "Me too," said Roger. "I love soccer!" But Paul eyed Zeke suspiciously. After lunch, the campers all gathered at the river and began their canoe lessons.

“Tragas?”保罗说。“在哪儿? 从来没听说过。”“离这儿很远，”齐克回答。 哈里斯很快改变了话题。 “我真的很喜欢踢足球，”他说。 “我也是，”罗杰说。“我爱足球！”但保罗怀疑地看着齐克。 午饭后，露营者们都聚集在河边，开始上独木舟课。

Harris and Zeke put on their life vests and climbed into an available canoe. Roger and Paul got into another. They launched their canoes into the river. Harris paddled gently. They moved smoothly through the calm, flowing water. "Hey!" Paul shouted from the canoe behind Harris and Zeke's. "How can they be that far ahead of us with only one kid paddling?"

哈里斯和齐克穿上救生衣，爬上一艘可用的独木舟。 罗杰和保罗又吵了起来。 他们把独木舟划进河里。 哈里斯轻轻地划桨。他们在平静、流动的水面上平稳地移动。 “嘿!”保罗在哈里斯和齐克身后的独木舟上喊道。 “他们怎么能在只有一个孩子的情况下领先我们那么多呢？”

Harris turned around and saw Zeke holding his paddle in his lap. But the water on either side of him was churning, pushing the canoe quickly down the river. "You actually have to put your paddle in the water, Zeke!" Harris whispered. Then he shouted, "Paddle harder, Zeke!"

哈里斯转过身来，看见齐克把桨放在膝盖上。 但是他两边的水都在翻腾，把独木舟推得飞快地顺流而下。 “齐克，你得把桨放到水里去！”哈里斯低声说。 然后他喊道：“齐克，用力划桨！”
